“14” machines, with head letter, ex

in November, and with the new mod
el “8” recently purchased gives us
the finest composing room equip

ous future.

| France, and later was annexed to
the Russian expeditionary forces,
where he served thruout the cam
paign. He speaks Russian, German,
French and Spanish fluently, and has
traveled in practically every civilized
country on the face of the globe.
From Seward he will go to Juneau,
Ketchikan, and thence to New York,
via Seattle. Next year he expects
to lour Europe'in the interest of his
company, and will again visit Alaska
within the next few years.
Machines were placed in Nome,
Dawson, Fairbanks, Seward and pos
sibly Sitka while on his trip.

LAWYERS OF WORLD CALL
FOR PROGRAM OF PEACE
STOCKHOLM, Oct. 20.—Interna
tonal good will, peace and increased
cooperation are reflected in the
proposals and decisions of the in
ternational Law Associations Con
gress held here recently, • attended
by 400 delegates representing 20
different countries. One of the most
important recommendations of the
congress calls for a more’ humane
treatment of. prisoners of war, pro
tecting them under international law,
preventing exploitation by forced
labor, and providing for control of
their treatment by* a neutral power.
The aerial defense committee of
the congress worked out the sub
mitted a bill for a new law stipu
lating legitimate objects for attack
by air forces, and forbidding all
aerial warfare with the object of
terrorizing the civil population. Sir
John Fisher-Williams, of England
called upon all law experts in the
world for a thorough revision of
international law in the interests of
peace in order to form a new basis
for international intercourse. A
committee was appointed by the
congress to work out these princi
ples.
New and strict laws preventing
unfair international commercial com
petition and granting equal rights
and privileges for foreign merchants
in the courts of all countries, a
permanent international civil court
for commercial arbitration, and strict
rules defining the apportioning of
liabilities and risks in trans-oceanic
commercial transactions, were some
other problems brought under discus
sion for definite solution within the
near future.
