LANSING URGES WORLD COURT TO MAINTAIN PEACE Pleads for Codified. International Laws in Address Before Bar Association.

(Br iMocUtod Press) BOSTON, Mats., Sept. 5. Secretary Lansing, before the American Bar association hare today In hit first public speech since returning from the peace conference gave a warning that the theory of Internationalism, of "MundanlBm," which received great Impetus during the war, constituted a grave danger to world order, but expressed his conviction that democratic nationalism as sanctioned by the peace conference would Burvlve as 'the basis of enclety. Secretary Lansing urged strongly the establishment of an International court as modeled by The Hague convention, and founded In the principle of strict legal Justice, for the settlement of disputes between states, and the codification of International law Into an exact system. He paid tribute to The Hague convention of 1907. Fears Diplomatic) Anarchy. Without an international court and oodlfled laws Secretary Lansing pre dicted a return to diplomatic anarchy, since "nations today are Influenced more by selfishness than by an altruistic sentiment of justice." He gave darning that "we should not deceive ourselves by assuming that the policies of other governments are founded on unselfishness or on a constant purpose to be just even though the consequences be contrary lo their immediate Interests." "Let us then with as little delay as possible," said he, "establish an International tribunal or tribunals of Justice with The Hague court as a foundation; let us provide an easier, a cheaper and a better procedure than bow exists; and let us draft a simple pud concise body of legal principles to 'be applied to the questions to be adjudicated." Speaking of the plans of the Peace Conference to place on trial In a judicial court, the former Emperor, Mr. Lansing recalled that it was the commissioners of the United States who fctood opposed to such trial, although ''it was recognized that he had committed a grpat moral crime, an unpardonable offense against humanity." The stand of the American commissioners, he said, was based on the conviction that there was no provision of written Dr unwritten law for the definition aiid punishment of crimes against hunhanity. In conclusion Mr. Lansing reiterated that "natioitalism must be maintained at all hazards," and that, "it Is equally Imperative that within the nation individualism fcnust not be supplanted by classism." True peace between nations would come, he sai, only when the conduct of nations toward one another was governed by jUst law3 ,and when they submitted their controversies to an impartial Judiciary, which would decide them according to the immutable principles of justice.

NATIONALISM CALLS FOR LEAGUE MEMBERSHIP, PRESIDENT DECLARES

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 5. Speaking today at a Chamber of Commerce luncheon here President Wilson said that this nation could not obtain the full measure of nationalism witnout fulfilling its part in the family of na tions. Thn greatest nationalist, the presi dent said, is the man who wanted his nation to be a nation, and a great nation, he added, was that which penetrated the heart of its duty among the nations of the world." m . The luncheon was held at a noxei roof garden and all of the 1,700 plates were taken. The president and Mrs. Wilson were received with cheers and rebel yells and there was more cheering when he arose to Bpeak. The president was Introduced by Mayor Kiel, a Republican. He said that in honor of the visit, "politics have been suspended for this whole day long." The crowd gave three cheers for "the benefactor of the world," proposed by one of the diners. The president said he was glad to see politics adjourned "because politics had nothing to do with the great issue before the country." Those who objected, Mr. Wilson said, should now show how else the peace can be guaranteed. "Let them BhouvV eh said, "that they are not absolutely contemptible quitters If they don't see this game through." The Industrial Interests of the United States, said the president, reached far into European affairs. If the nation only "minded its own business," he said, "it soon would have no other business," and would be isolated politically as well as Industrially.

Robert Thornton, horse trainer, is also the trainer of a "gang" of pet pigs which did some especially human things in very pig-like ways.

The noon parade was clean, spirited and of very good length. Long lines of people spanned Main street throughout its extent. The line of side shows with the circus presents some especially unique exhibitions such as Cheerful Nettie, who is happy even though she doesn't eat much and weighs 696 pounds.
