~—BAFOUR PONTS D WAY TO WASON __ PEACE WOR He Can Mature Plans for League of Nations as War Goes On. WASHINGTON, Jan. -England ‘has pointed the way to President , Wilson for continuing his work to- ward a lasting peace, according to oMicial belief here to-day. In the supplementary communtea- tion forwarded to this Government = from Lord Balfour, officials have drawn the following conclusions: © f.d@ much toward evolving some plan for an international pre- ventive force to limit future wi and by intimation has conveyed the suggestion that he pursue this course, While the President ts working out this plan and ¢vlning sympathy for it HH one of the prime requisites for emeral peace discussion, the Ententy will fight on in an effort to crush, p08 at least weaken, the military power and prestige of her enemies, Balfour lays paramount imy on the necessity ance for halting future “aggressors. “He says that while ~ ‘territorial readjustments sought by gi the Entente Powers might allay w future danger somewhat, they would * provide “no sufficient security” “'"igainst recurrence of war. Balfour's communication is held to be suggestion that President Wilson's sphere of activity, for the present at jeast, should be limited to laying the groundwork for some such inter- national force. Balfour admits the difficulty in ac- complishing these aims, but declares a durable peace possible only in their fulfillment, fortified by joint action of civilized nations to enforce peace, once it is attained. The President recently described to some friends his ideas on the subject by saying he favored an international “peace patrol” of sufficient strength to say “no” when war threatened and “to show the would-be aggressor that the ‘no’ carried a bite with it.” It is gaid the President continues to hold ¥ this opinion. LONDON, Jan. 18.—Press and pub- ‘Ne to-day unanimously applauded Foreign Minister Balfour's note to America.

RRRETE of their Seventy-second Battalion, Col. Peers Davidson. For the past ten months Col, Davidson has been at the front, but, invallded home, he has just passed through New York on his way to Canada, His father, Sir Charl tlee of Canada, T am almost afraid to tell you so much about Col. Davidson, For the “peace terms” which formed the basis of our conference at the, Waldorf- Astoria included the cast iron clause that I should not talk about him if he talked about his notable regiment. So 1 can only tell you that he looks the} modern, modest, non-pyrotechnical soldier, very straight, not an ounce overweight, with calm, cool, complete- ly trustworthy blue eyes and @ mouth that can smile with winning courtesy or set Itself like this ——. If anybody | , wants to know about the medals and other distinctions which I am willing |! to wager Col. Davidson possesses, that curious person will have to ask some- body else besides the Colonel. STORY OF MEETING FIRST GAS ATTACK IN HISTORY. “Please tell me about the Royal Highlanders,” I began, after a case of mistaken identity had been set- tled. A rash morning paper assigned Col, Davidson to the Gordon Highland- ers, and he did not smile winningly over that error! “You are a Cana- dian. How is it that you have held f@ command in the best-known and most picturesque of Scottish re; ments?” “Because Canada has sent out three battalions that have affiliated with the Royal Highlanders,” he promptly explained, “We thought we should be glad to link ourselves to that regiment of splendid tradi- tions, Canadians have added to those traditions. “The Thirteenth Battalion of the Canadian Royal Highlanders was the first sent to Europe. And It was this battalion which was stationed at the terrible ‘north corner’ of the second battle of Ypres in 1915. In this battle and at this particular sec tion of the firing line the Germans made their first attack with gas. It was an abominable and utterly new method of warfare, and the men upon whom It was launched were ut- terly without protection against it, Masks came later. Yet the Cana-| diana stood like rocks. They did not yield a foot, They died. ‘The fatal- itles in that battalion were terrific, but the across-seas Royal Highla ers lived up to the fighting tr tion of their sponsor regiment.” 1 thought of a description some one had given me of the effects of “gassing”: “The men don't die at| once, but the inside of their bodies is burned out for twenty-four hours.” And 1 was proud that those who, with all of human courage, endured this torture in the first fresh agony of it had the right, continentally speaking, to call themselves Amer!- cans. “You know the original regiment of Royal Highlanders was founded in 1735,"" Col, Davidson continued, “They es Davidson, was formerly Chief Jus-| relieved one night by the original Royal High talion of nders, who for the first-time met the overseas Highlanders in active service, Of course there could be no cheering or demonstration, use we were fifty from the enemy's lines n knew that the bit of history.

Davidson answered question of mine, “this war ts their history they never had just the same strain to endure, It's the business of holding firm, carrying on, sticking In the trenches and taking what the enemy sends without half the chance you want to return it to him.

Davidson ended with slow, sig- nifleant emphasis. “Then the new ones want, more than anything else, anded.
