Petrograd, April 20.—The Russian Grand Dukes, who have just formally turned ' over their ‘“appanages” or official grants, to the new government, have made a great financial sacrifice by .this renunciation. The grand ducal estates surrendered aggregate more than 20,000,000 acres, including thousands of prosperous farms and many thriving towns and villages, The annual income from these estates is estimated at over 25,000,000 rubles. The “imperial appanages,” before the serfs were liberated, controlled over 800,000 agricultural laborers. Emperor Paul I. set aside these vast estates for the benefit of the grand | dukes because he forsaw the mecessity | of making the imperial family finan- cially independent of the reigning emperor. Grand dukes who have at | various times incurred the displeasure of the emperor and have exiled them- selves, have always continued to re- ceive their share of the appanages, with which the emperor was power- less to interfere. KAISER'S AUTO SOLD. London, April 20.—An automobile which was built in Germany for the use of Emperor William and which had been sent to London just before the war to be fitted with an English body, has just been sold for $35,000 to a Danish shipowner. The car has been in the hands of the bodybuilders ever since it was finished and was ordered sold by the courts to satisfy their charges. It is called by English experts the most luxurious automobile ever built, and' the price paid for it at auction is believed to be a record for a car for personal use. RUN-DOWN WOMEN We Have a Remedy That Will Cost You Nothing If It Does Not Help You, New Britain women will please real- ize that we mean just what we say in the above heading. Letters like the following prove the efficlency of Vinol in such cases:— “For the benefit of the other tired women, I want to say that I keep house for seven in my family. I be- came run-down, all played out, I did not seem to have any life in me and looked badly. I read so much about Vinol I decided to try it and I must say it helped me in every way. It built me up so I felt like a new wo- man, and my friends said they could see a great change in me.” Mrs. John M. Waldron, Saratoga Springs, N. Y.

Usher Philadelphia, April 20.—America must champion the right to be con- ' sulted and considered in shaping in- ternational law, declared Professor Roland G. Usher, of Washington Uni- of St. Louis, in an address merica’s Obligation as the De- fender of International Right,” at the annual meeting here today of the | American Academy of Political and Social Science. “International Law as observed in practice,” he asserted, “‘consists of the privileges which the six BEuropean powers mutually extend to each other and of the obligations which they recognize as binding between them- selves and, in addition, of all such privileges and immunities as they voluntarily extend to the other so- called nations and of the concessions which they exact from ‘them. “There can be no great doubt that the result of this system is to define American rights and Americans obli- gations in the terms of European in- terests, and to place the decision in the hands of the six European pow- ers acting in concert. We have in i practice enjoyed such privileges as they have granted, We have, with objections more or less violent and with protestations more or less loud, been compelled in the past to accept | their version of our obligations to- | ward them. Specific rights at sea, | such as are at present in question, we have commonly enjoyed, though we have never been in a position to exact or defend them. Must Have New SyQt-:m. “I must emphasize the inexpediency of resistance to the fundamental deci- | sions of the great powers. They are i too definitely at one on the main pro- portions of the international situation, and, when united,’ are too over- whelmingly powerful for us to think of successful resistance. So long as this is the system .and so long as the great European powers unite to sup- port it, we must acquiesce in its exist- ence. “I would impeach the system itself. The international right America must champion is the right to be consulted, the' right to be considered in shaping the basic and fundamental elements in the international problem, the right to insist that the international horizon shall be so broadened as to include not only the affairs of Europe but those of Africa, Asia and America. The obligation of America in defense of international rights as I see it, is to insist that the definition of inter- national right shall be international in scope and international in purpose. “The priciple itself is the vital thing; that the United States is a nec- essary element of the international community to be consulted in all af- fallrs of significance. This fact we ‘must maintain and this fact we must defend.” A ‘“supernational code” of princi- ples to make peace self-enforcing was outlined by Dr. §. H. Patten of the University of Pennsylvania, as a sub- stitute for any attempt to impose reace by force. Dr. Patten was discussing “Ameri- ca’'s relation to the world conflict” and presenting arguments in favor of peace without force. Defining the code of principles he proposed, he said: “All decisions should be made by popular vote. The western world claims to be democratic and yet in no nation is democracy trusted. Should declarations of war be de- layed until ratified by popular vote, they would not occur. “Home rule must accompany pop- viar suffrage to prevent national ma- jorities from oppressing minorities. The antagonisnis of race, culture, re- ligion and language could thus be avoided. Freedom of the seas. The ocean is a common heritage that should be in the control of no nation or group. If England extends her blockade of Germany 100 miles from the German coast, Germany should be allowed an equal area about England to es- tablish her submarine blockade, and we should claim the same zone for our coast defense. But other parts of the oceans should be open to all on equal terms. “No nation should be allowed to enact export taxes on raw material. The natural advantagés are so un- equally distributed that a virtual slavery can be maintained if some world necessity were controlled by one nation or if a group of nations should conspire’ to control world commerce. “A fair distribution of tropical areas among commercial nations. All na- tions need a tropical region to com- plement their home trade. There is ten times the quantity of tropical land to meet this condition. Cuba could supply the sugar of the world and either Java or Brazil' its coffee or spices. Nations now monopolize land they will never use. When land hunger ceases a potent cause of war will be removed.” To these principles Dr. Patten added fair dealing toward all peoples, tho righting of wrongs before the en- forcement of claims, even though the claims be just, and the practice of toleration and recognition of liberty in world decisions. “The world needs not a dictator but some nation that lives up to the super standard and thus shows the posibility of a peaceful progress,” de- clared Dr. Patten. ‘“‘Should America become such a people, avoiding the degradation that suspicion and hatred engender we would have a host ef imitators.” “The ILeague to Enforce scems an organization to 1 harmony and doubtless this is the Iearnen wish of the promoters.

Who can tell what millions of men and billions of money will be needed to impress our standards on the world?” Hopes for World Fedcration. The “grand alliance” between the United States and the democracies of Europe against autocratic aggression as practiced by Germany gives rise to the hope that the war will lead to a federation of the world, in the opinion of Walter Lippmann of New York, associate editor of the “New Repub- lic,” expressed in an address on “Amerlca’s Relations to the World Conflict.” “I know it saunds a little old- fashioned to use that phrase, the federation of the world,” ‘said Mr. Lippmann, “because we have used it so long in empty rhetoric. But no other idea is big enough to describe the alliance. It is, no longer an offensive-defensive military agreement amang diplomats. It is growing into a union of peoples detérmined to end forever that intriguing, adventurous nationalism which has torn the world for three centuries, “The war is dissolving into a stu- pendous revolution. A few months ago we still argued about the Bagdad corridor, strategic frontiers, colonies. These were the stakes of the diplo- mats’ war. The whole prospective is changed today by the revolution in Russia and the intervention of America. The scale of values is trans- formed, for the democracies age un- loosed. “We are at war to defeat the Ger- man government, to destroy its pres- tige, to deny its conquests, and to throw it back at last into the arms of the German people, marked and dis- credited as the author of their miserigs. It is for them to make the final settlement with it, “We can win nothing from this war RHEUMATISM Physician Believes a Genuine Rem- edy for the Disease Has Been Found. Rheuma, the wonderful rheumatism remedy sold by Clark & Brainerd Co. and all druggists, gives quicker and more lasting relief than other reme- dies costing many times as much. Rheuma passes the. deadly poison- ous secretions into the bowels and kidneys, from which they are quickly thrown off in a natural, healthy way. Read what a reputable physiclan says about Rheuma: “I have made a most careful investigation of the formula employed in the manufacture of Rheuma, and I heartily recom- mend it as a remedy for all forms of rheumatism. I find Rheuma far in ad- vance of the methods generally em- ployed in the treatment of rheuma- tism, and altogether different in com- position from the remedies usually prescribed.”—Dr. Lyons. This .should give any sufferer from | rheumatism confidence to try Rheuma. in Two Months unless it culminates in’ a union of liberal peoples pledged to co-operate in the settlement of all outstanding questions, sworn to turn against the aggressor, determined to erect a larger and more modern system of interna- tional law upon a federation of the world. - That is what we are fighting for at this moment, on the ocean, in the shipyard and in the factory; later, perhaps in France and Belgium, ulti- mately at the council of peace.” OBJECT TO U.
