C, Nov. 12— A renewed appeal for adherence by the United States to the World Court and broad participation by this country in friendly efforts to maintain peace was made by Pres- ident Hoover in his Armistice Day address yesterday before the An- nual Conference and Good-Will Congress of the Werld Alliance for International Friendship through| Ahurches. The President pointed out that various treaties were being worked out for the settlement of difficul- tis among nations. S “In the development of methods for pacific settlement, great hopz lies in the ever extending body of principles of International Law on| which settlements are based,” said the President. “The Worla Court is now strongly established and its permanence is assured. From it there is steadily growing a body of precedents and decisions. International laws are in formulation which we should have a part, not only for our own inter- est but for the advancement of peace.” The President referred to the United States’ proposal of making foodstuffs immune on the high seas in case of war and said this was made not only for a humani- tarian purpose but because it would make nations depending on over- seas for food less anxious to build) large navies. “The purpose of our government is to cooperate with others in the use of friendly offices in an effort to maintain peace,” said the Presi- dent, and he added that one of the major frictions among great naval powers has been competition of naval construction, but that this has been eliminated by the adop- tion of the London Naval treaty. L o e PRINCE TAKEN -FOR RIDE; OFF ON DO-X TRP Ship to Take Off on An-| other Leg Toward U. S. Friday CALSHOT, England, Nov. 12— After giving the Prince of Wales a half-hour flight in the DO-X, Dr. Dornier said the giant plane would leave Priday for Bordeaux enroute to the United States. The huge ship took off from the waters of the bay with the Princey of Wales sitting in one of the win- dows. The ship swung across the harbor toward the Isle of Wight and dropped back after a large circle. The Prince of Wales was shown through the ship and was obviously pleased. The Prince shook. hands with Dr. Dornier, Frau Dornier’ and congratulated Commander Chris- tiensen.

COLEMAN DU BPONT WILMINGTON, Delaware, Nov. 12—T. Coleman du Pont, one of the prominent members of the du Pont family, and long identified with the National and State Re- publican Party, died at his home here Tuesday from throat affection which was of long standing. RETIRED AT 37 T. Coleman du Pont emerged after two years from retirement, into which he had gone at the age of 37, to achieve his greatest business |and financial success. Although a member of the fa- mous Delaware family that has been accumulating wealth from its equaly famous powder works since the beginning of the 19th century, he had notbing to do with the powder industry until after he had won success and fortune in other lines. Educated as an engineer, Mr. du Pont when a young man was especially interested in coal mining and upon completing his course at Massachusetts Institute of Tech- nology entered the employ of the Central Coal .and Iron Company at Central City, Ky. Eventually, became President of the company. In 1893 he turned to the steel |industry as General Manager of the Johnson Steel Company at Johnstown, Pa. He remained with that company until 1900, meanwhile launching into the street railway business with the purchase of the lines in Johnstown, of which he| became President. Other railway properties were acquired in New York, New Jersey and Ala- bama. In Mining Industry ‘When he severed his connections with the Johnson Steel Company, Mr. du Pont returned to the min- ing industry as President of var- fous coal and iron companies in Kentucky. Having amassed what he regarded as a sufficient fortune when he reached his 37th birth- day anniversary, he retired from tactive business and went to live 'az Wilmington, Del., the home of his ancestors and of the great du Pont powder industry. Two years later upon the death of Eugene du Pont, whd had been head of E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Company, his brother had de- cided to sell the property. It was then that' T. Coleman du Pont was persuaded to come out of his re- tirement and assume the manage- ment of the company. The du Ponts at that time controlled sev- eral other gompanies similarly en- |gaged. of the DO-X which will be pow- ered by British motors. ican order is also possible. i The Dornier Company is now! building two planes similar to the DO-X for Italy.

These were consolidated into one company, which was called the E. du Pont de Nemours Powder Company with Coleman du Pont as President and General Manager. The business of the new organiza- tion grew apace, so fast in fact, that in five years it was referred to as one of the leading “trusts” of the country.

Search Before Snowfall Pilot Eckmann says it is im- perative that search of the terri- tory adjacent to Lucy Island be ‘made immediately, before snow falls which would cover traces of wreckage in case Renahan came down on land. Pilot Renahan’s plane was last seen passing over Lucy Island. Pilot Eckmann says he has cov- ered 3,000 miles in his search by plane from Seattle but has only scratched the country. Although Eckmann is basing at Prince Rupert, he bel*sves the search must be conducted in Alas- kan waters in the future.
