Chief of Police Thomas Martin met Illinois state police at the bridge In advance of tho trucks and. attempted to persuade them to continue the transportation to Washingon, but this they declined to do on the grounds the trucks and automobiles were privately owned and tho police were only escorting them. When 'the trucks arrived, Lieut. John Hamilton, of the Indiana state police, hurriedly began an escort of his own and ho led the entire lino through Vinconnes and on to Wash ington without bringing them to a stop.

Lastly, she adds, disarmament must and can succeed, because the peace machinery of tho league of nations, world court, Kellogg pact, etc.. .is adequate to settle all disputes peace fully, If nations co-operate whole heartedly to make it effective.

She believes that Japan would have not attempted Its military coup If America had belonged to the league of nations, slnco Japan lives by trade, and tho United States is its beat customer, buying 4G per cent of Japanese exports. As it is tho world does not know where America will stand on tho league In time of crisis, and militarists aro tempted to tako a chance, she said, Miss Brnnnan states that America has in the Japanese-Chinese crisis given invaluable help in restoring peace .through invocation of tho Kellogg pact, an act which has been endorsed by 55 countries in the league of -nations. Tl; assembly of tho league demanded the with drawal of the Japanese troops from Shanghai, ond tho leaguo has thus shown Itself to be an effective Instru ment for focussing tho world demand for peace. Miss Brnnnan states that tho aboli tion of all aggresslvo weapons Is within reach, a movement proposed by tho Italian delegation at the dis armament conference and endorsed by the American, except os to battle ships, which the Navy department wishes to retain, and it would mean that all nations do 'away, now with preparations for poison gas and germ warfare, with military aircraft, bat tleships,' submarines, heavy artillery and tanks.
