NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, STONE ASSERTS OUR RIGHT TO HALT WAR Compares Possible Offense to Way We Have Been Offended | | | i a St. peutral which the effects of the European war, particu- larly the right of the United to initiate a movement for peace weas asserted here night before the league to enforce peace by Sen- | ator Stone, chairman of the senate ! foreign relations committee. 1: | Louis, Dec, 15.—The right of has suffered from States. last “Since the war, has almost from the beginning, resulted m contnuing of- | fensive attacks on the rights and dig- nity of this sovereignty flicting incalculable injury to our na- tional interests—all of which we have | borne with patience because of our “friendship for the nations involved,” | eaid Senator Stone, “it seems to me | that after enduring these attacks and suffering these losses for two and a half years, with no end yet in sight, we have a right, without regard to any question of sympathy or hu- manity, but solely on our own ac- count and to safeguard our own terests, to approach the combatants & a mutual friend and open nego- | tlations with a view to the re-estab- | and in in- nearly in- | lishment of normal international con- | ditions. | “Our relations to the combat are | such, interests are so in- | volved, that I think we have a right té ~speak—a right so-clear as to en- | title us to speak without asking and | without just offense. We wourld not ! speak impertinently as Intermeddlers | ‘but as a friend who suffered griev- ously and innocently from the ruth- less acts of war.” Hints at Later Developments. The senator, declared he wished it distinctly understood that he spoke on his own personal responsibility, but said he later might speak ‘in another forum’” on whether any neu- tral or group of neutrals should “at- | tempt any affirmative action to end the present war.” He said he would not discuss the wisdom or unwisdom of an approach of the belligerents | With peace proposals but merely of | “the propriety of the right,” and | pointed out that distinguished men | in this country, and in the warring countries have warned that such a | movement would not only be futile but offensive. * | “I am not disposed,” he added, “to | accept without questioning either the | sccuracy of these statements or the | soundness of the reasons on which | they are predicated. Two families | with a feud between them might, so | long as they kept the peace and ob- | served the law, resent any effort of | an outsider to harmonize them; but | If they should break forth into open | war, so as to disturb the general | peace and visit universal harm upon | the whole neighborhood, the law- ‘abiding members of the community would have a right to call a halt | without being gullty of impertinence: | Why should not the same rule apply, | morally and legally, ‘to the family | of natlons?” ! Our Pride Grossly Offended. i The United States, the senator said, | has suffered from acts committed | “which “have been grossly offensive to our national pride and hurtful beyond estimate to our national interests.” He Instanced censorship of the mails, ships seized or sunk on the high seas, peaceful commerce with neutrals in- terrupted or interdicted, and Ameri- and our i To The Sunny GULF COAST Alon'g the sunny shores of the Gulf of Mezico, on the coasts of Florida and the southern states are some of the | world’s finest winter resorts.

Dress Clothes and Accessories For Xmas Dress Clothes are so important that they are sometimes consid- ered too important. The need of perfection in fit, in style, in tail- oring is so imperative, many men think these clothes must be made-to-measure. It isn’t necessary; it isn’t even the best way to get them right; and it’s certainly the most ex- pensive way. This store can fit any man in dress clothes: do it ight.

Yes, theré have times when our peace was prekerved only by the clear vision, the steady hand, the res- olute heart of one man.

Clark and Brainerd Co., and all druggists sell Rheuma on a no-cure- no-pay basis for not more than 50c a bottle, and after you take a half teaspoonful once a day for two days you should know that at last you have obtained a.remedy that will conquer rheumatism. For over five years throughout America Rheuma has been prescribed by broad-minded physicians and has released thousands from agony, pain and despair. MEDICINE WILL END | ator Stone concluded, “that a neutral | nation, suffering on so large a scale . the evils of war, is obligated from any | just point of view to stand helplessly aloof, denied all right to offer ev a suggestion until invited to speak. On the contrary I hold that whenever a nation, or any group of neutral | nations, becomes the unoffending vic- | tim of any wars, it or they, acting singly or in concert, can as of right| make representations to the nations | at war to discuss the questions at is- sue and strive for a basis upon which honorable peace may be restored to the world. Consequences of Offense. “If you ask what the neutral nation or nations might do if their approachment should be resented as offensive, I answer that that would be a question for after consideration. The question is not difficult Varfous things might be done or all to an- swer. if any belligerents persisted in a course which might be regarded as not only offensive to, but hurtful to the neutral nations offering their friendly services. I do not now care to go to the length of indicating what might be done. “My purpose in venturing upon this theme is solely to combat the notion that in the circumstances of this war neutral nations cannot proper! even in the most friendly terminate a struggle disas only to the nations engaged in it, but enormously hurtful to the whole world, until such outside intervention has been invited.

LIBRARY THIRD GREATEST IN WORLD More Than 28,000 \folumes Con- tributed in Past Year Washington, Dec, 15.—Gifts from many sources have brought more than 28,000 volumes to the library of con- gress during the year, and comprised more than one-fourth of the additions to its shelves. Retaining its place as the third greatest library in the worlad, and the greatest in the western world, the library now contains 2,451,974 books, 154,200 maps and charts, 770,248 volumes and pieces of music and 392,905 prints. For large additions to the Chinese, Japanese and Korean collections the library acknowledges debt to Dr. Wal- ter T. Swingle of the bureau of plant industry, who visited the Far East in 1915 and purchased on behalf of the library a total of 5,892 volumes, in- books printed from blocks; Chinese historical and descriptive warks covering the period of first contact with Europeans; early Chinese 'dictionaries and encyclope- di; Chinese works on natural h and pharmacopoelas; geograph the writings of Confucius and the works of famous schalars; and a good copy of the oldest Japanese | printed work extant, probably dating from the beginning of the thirteenth century; and a large collection of the writings of Kaibara, the Benjamin Franklin of Japan. 2 The Lincoln documents which have heen presented to the library are of ex- ceptional interest. These consist of the orlginal draft of Lincoln’s second inaugural address, and his two drafts of the Gettysburg address presented by Clarence L. Hay, who had them from his father, the late John Hay; and a memorandum as to the improb- ability of his re-election, presented by Miss Helen Nicolay.
