A league of nations will very much reduce the probability of war.” Thie afternoon Mr. Taft addressed 1500 members of the chamber.

A cablegram informing him of the Peruvian_apology was received today by Mr. Ruiz, according to his state- ment, from the Chilean minister of foreign affairs. The message, the consul asserted, authorized him to announced that the Peruvian officials admitted that in making public reports of outbreaks against their citizens in Iquique and Antofagasta, Chile, they had acted on miseinforation. This was furnished, he said, by the Peruvian consul at Tquique, whose authority had been cancelled for. this reason by the Chil- ean_government, The apolosy sent from Lima, M: Ruiz-added, was wholly satisfactory to ihe Chilean officials and “brought tho misunderstanding to an end” The consul-general stated that a series of messages received from San- tiago today denied reports of anti- Peruvian demonstrations in Chile. The cablegrams further announced, he eaid, that the dismissal of the Peru- vian envoy at Iquique “had proyoked in Peru a certain acitation that deter- mined my government to nuthorize its consuls in Peru to return home if the circumstances_Jjustified.” Despite a border dispute between the two countries, MF. Ruiz declared that Chile had “the utmost sympa- thy” for Peru and had taken steps to watch the frontier so as to prevent Pe- ruvian revolutionists from receiving arms or ammunition from compatriots residing in Chile. Ilis government, he added, had taken active measures to assist Peru in maintiigag & steble government. BELIEVES IN RELAXATION FROM WAR SACRIFICES Augusta, Maine, Nov. 26 —Harold M. Sewall of Bath, today resigned the chairmanship of the Maine Committes on Public Safety, telling the governor in his letter of resignation that he be- lieved under existing conditions the people of the state would prefer the rormal agencies of peace rather than his committee for the work of recon- struction after the war, Mr. Sewall said that he advanced this opinion at 2 meeting of representatives of state ouncils of defense and committees of public safety in Washington a short time ago. The generous response from the public to appeals for support of the different activities of the commit- toes was given, he believed, because of the stress of war, and that existed no longer. Therefore, if the commit- tees were continued at all, they should have the power of federal authority behind them. “The conference,” continued Mr. Se- wall's letter, “did not adopt this view and voted that the committee should continue but should be in closer con- tact with the federal government than heretofore. “Since my return to the state I am more confirmed in the opinion T ex- pressed at the conference. Recon- struction is a work of peace, and I Delieve our people are entitled to re- laxation from the work and sacrifices wsked of them by war committees which have no statutory basis.” AMERICAN PEACE DELEGATES Paris, Nov. 36.—(By The A.

Steamship comranies are unable to determine when steerage passenger transportation will be re- sumed. Meanwhile it is highly prob- able that these prospectve emigrants will leave interior states for the sea- board, expecting early departure, thus incurring wholesale exploitation and creating dangerous social prob- lems. “T respectfully urge official an- nouncement that no emigrant pass- ports will be issued for ccrtain defin- ite period and publication of same through foreign language press.” CHARGED WITH ENDEAVOR TO OBTAIN LIBERTY MOTOR PLANS Chicago, Nov, 26.—Letters intercept. ed by the federal anthorities led to the arrest today of Ira J.
