PAGE EIGHT BRITISH ENVOY AYOWS EMPIRES HOPE FOR PEACE Tells Newspaper Publishers in Address that U. S. and Bri- tain Ought to be Friends HOPE LAST WAR FOUGHT! Reasonable Co-operation in Ex- pansion of Foreign Trade Ad- vocated by Geddes | Asheville, (N. C., July 22.—The mak- ing of international relations of the future is largely in the hands of the newspapermen of America and the British empire, Sir Auckland Geddes, British ambassador to the United States, declared yesterday in an ad- dress at the annual meeting of the Southern Newspaper Publishers’ as- sociation. The hope of mankind that the last! great war has been fought, Sir Auck- land said, could be turned by the newspaper writers of ‘the English- speaking world either to cruel mock- ery or advance toward realization. Mutual understanding between the British commonwealth of nations and the United States matters more to the English speaking people and to the world than anything else at the present time, Sir Auckland declared, because without understanding there can be no friendship and without friendship there can be no coopera- tion, fi “Would it be in your interest, would it be less costly for you to effect the expansion of your foreign trade, in the teeth of British opposition?” asked the ambassador. “Would it pay you less if you effected it in reason- able cooperation with us? Would it cost you less to build a navy com- mensurate to your needs in opposi- tion to us or more in aggreement with us? Would it help you to find diffi- culties largely of your own creation or reactions to your actions in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, in India and in every land in which the British flag flies as well as in every land in which the British trader does business and the British banks have branches? Would it harm you to find friends there end have to meet only the sort of competition that exists between rival concerns of the same nationality? On the lowest ba- sis, would it pay you if Britain were] r to develop cotton growing on a great scale in her African territories be- cause of a sense of instability created by a feeling of American lack of friendliness? Would it help you toward a solution of your problems in the Pacific if Australia were to become hostile to your interests? Pays to Be Friendly. “On the other side would it help us to be unfriendly to you? Again on the lowest basis: would it pay us? The answer in every case is ‘no.’ “Then we have the great political and socio-economic problems which require solution—problems as wide as the world and as deep as the hu- man. heart: Will they be helped if you and we are unfriendly and bick- ering with one another? Will it help you or us if large areas of the world lapse from civilization to semi-civi- lization because you and we fail to co- operate with one another and with the nations’ whose social existence is threatened with economic chaos in which they find themselves? I know of no good which can flow from lack of friendship between our nations. I know of no human good which might not be gained for ourselves and for the world by your and our cordial co- operation with one another. “Here is the problem:—Cooperation which is urgently needed between us is only possible on a basis of friend- ship and friendly trust. Internation- al friendship is only- possible on a ‘basis of mutual respect and. under- standing. 3 Wants Peace Makers. “You gentlemen and all of your pro- fession have it in your power, as have no others, to foster that respect and understanding between tWe nations. Practically everybody reads some daily or weekly paper. A few read hound books. A mere handful studies history. On you and on your fellows throughout the English speaking world the burden is laid.

BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNB VILLA LIKED CAR HE AND HE TELLS AMERICAN REASONS | Newspapers in every section of the country were just recounting the re- markable experiences of Fred G.| Hugo of Eagle Pass, Tex., who was kidnapped by Gen. Villa, held for $10,000 and then mysteriously re- leased on condition that he “would keep his mouth shut,” when a Detroit: motor car manufacturer's representa: | tive arrived in Eagle Pass to consult! his local dealer. One of the first’ per, sons the Detrotyer met was Hugo himself. He found him at the deal- er’s place of business making inquiries about the delivery of a new car. “You see,” said Hugo, “Villa liked my car so well that he decided to keep it. I've got to have another.” And as Hugo’s promise to the ban- did general required him only to keep secret the time, place and conditions under which he was released, He con- sented to narrete some of the hith- erto unpublished details of his unus-| ual episode. Villa and his band has finished looting the town of Musquiz, hands largely is the making of the in-| ternational relations of the tuture. ‘rhe hope of mankind that the last great war has been fought could be turned by you either to cruel mock- ery or advance toward realization. “With all the earnestness at my command I beg you in the name of: all who like myself are devoting their lives to the furtherance of the cause of international peace to enroll vol- untarily in the army of the interna- tional peace makers. Try with all your skill and arts to make the na- tions realize their common essential humanity. Let them see each other as they are, grouplings of plain» sim- ple people who love and hate and fear and live and die very much in the same way in all the countries whose civilization is based on Eu- ‘ope. “Get them to see that that civiliza- tion is indissolubly linked at its foun- dation. with the Christian ethic—other civilizalions were not and are not, but ours is.and assumes in all its customs "r conventions a fair distribution of effective Christianity among the peo- ple. Get your readers to realize how civilization has been advanced by the genius of the few whose -life. works} have benefitted the many without re- gard for the few whose life works have benefited the many without re- gard to national frontiers. Stand Together. “Rich and ‘precious .is our. heritage, but we hold: only: a ‘life rent in’ our possession, .: It belongs to our children and to theirs-and ‘to: the unnumbered generations ‘of the. future. “If you.and we stand firm together the heritage will be safe, even though the world we have’ known should crumble “around ‘us, but if the un- speakable horror of conflict should arise between us the heritage will be; destroyed. You who mould the pub- lic thought are the most influential of the world trustees. I beg you more consciously and more accurately day by day and year by year to serve the trust and preserve the heritage of ordered freedom and human liberty.” HITS AT OIL LEASES Ancient Document Casts Doubt on Their Validity. Present Owners May Lose Billions of Dollare’ Worth of Land In Texas, ‘Washington.—Doubt is thrown upon the validity of ‘title to thousands of oil leases in the state of Texas by an- clent documents brought to the atten- ESCAPED IN Coahuila, Mexico, when they visited the ranch of ‘which he is manager, Hugo said. At the point of a revol- ver, Villa and five of his generals forced him to take the wheel of his touring car and drive them away. The federal army was in close pursuit and the bandits considered it advisable to give up their horses. “It was a rough haul,” said Hugo. “There were practically no roads; the ruts were deep, sand heavy and hills hard to climb. But through it all the car performed beautifully. I could see that Villa and the others were admiring ‘her. “Finally Villa said no other car had ever made that trip and wanted to know what the Dodge Brothers car sold for. I told him, $1,185, f. 0 D. Detroit, which made it about $1,310 in Eagle Pass, to which Villa replied that this was a very moderate price for such a car. and that he had made automobile trips in Mexico, but at no time had he been driven in a car that got along quite as well as this one.” lowing Htigation Tefween and Texas tuvel fed River ¢ Unless the docu iments now. atthe disposal of Attorney General Palmer: Oklahoma are dec yy the Supreme: court to be in pplicable, more than a worth of ofl Texas m s out of the lands in control of their present holders and become the property of the first “lease Jumper” who files upon them.

In his latest novel Rupert Hughes, famous novelist, playwright, sociolo- gist, and historian, asks in the title, “What’s the World Coming To?’ And so Major Hughes was asked to an- swer the question himself, which he, does in the following interview. see BY LORRY’ A. JACOBS. N. E. A. Staff Correspondent. New York, July 22.—Are people any better or any worse than they. ever were? Does the future hold hope or dark despair? These were the questions I. asked Rupert Hughes and he proceeded to answer them in characteristic Hughes style in one full, swoop. “Darned if, I: know!” said he. “But I have certain ideas on the subject.

It hasn’t changed much except for the telephone, the telegraph, ‘the airplane, fast transit and other convenicnces— all; of which bring about other incon- veniences. - Human nature’ changed ‘at’ all. “The world isn’t any. better ‘than it: ever was. Nor is it any:worse, Men, aren’t any more devilish’ than they ever: were, nor. are they any ‘nearer to being angels. “Pick me out any saint, or any fiend, or any average person and I will guar- antee to find his match in any other country or period of -which we have read. “In the twentieth. century before Christ men were complaining. of the same evils they protest today and were just as pure and kind of heart. They had strikes and panics; decadence, progress, remorse, ruthléssness, pity, tyranny and benevolence. “Tam a sort of optimistic pessimist.
