Delegates to the World Court Congress burst into wild applause today when Dr. John Wesley Hill, of New York, in an im promptu speech, pointed dramatically to a huge American flag above his head nnd shouted: "Any English - America, German American, Krench - American or any other hyphenated American who does Tiot support that flag in the present situation Is unworthy of the citizen ship ho owns." An orchestra In an alcove began the strains of "The Star-Spangled Banner," and the audience rose and joined in tinging the song. Mny wept aloud. Dr. villi's declaration was not made at a regular session of the congress, but at a dinner given by the business men of Cleveland to the delegates of the congress. The congress has for bidden comment on the war situation (luring its meetings. Committee to Draft Court Plana. John Hays Hammond, chairman of the congress, today announced a com mission of delegates to draw up a definite plan for a "world court of Justice." Its members are: James Brown Scott, Washington jurist: Theo dore Marburg, Baltimore; Henry Lane Wilson, of Spokane, Wash., ex - Am bassador to Mexico; Balnbridge Colby, New York attorney; Judge D. D. Woodmansee. Cincinnati; Professor Jeremiah W. Jenks. New York. Mr. Hammond, by the ruling of the congress, also is a member of the com mission. Henry Lane Wilson. Judge D. D. Woodmansee and William Dudley Foulke were the principal speakers at toniahfs session. Mr. Wilson gave his attention to the limitations and possibilities of a world court. "The court must be a tribunal of spontaneous appeal," he said, "and be hind every decree should live the pow ers of the united signatory nations in the form of an irresistible police power, or of an International bant which is a more terrible weapon than fleets and armies. Federation Thought Foreshadowed. "A world court should be interna tional tn its attributes. The unhappy consequences following the interfer enc of this Government in Mexico should serve as a warning. It fre quently happens that governments, from policy, caution' or timidity, turn deaf ears to the Just complaints of their nationals abroad. Shall such na tionals have no recourse? Here lies an undoubted sphere for a world court." Mr. Foulke declared that "The de velopment of our National constitution and Judiciary foreshadows in its gen eral features the development of some coming federation of the United States of Europe or the world." He pointed out the gradual union of mankind, in first small and then large uita, through family, clan, tribe, city and nation, and finally the empire, or treat federated republic Alliance Recorded Significant. "Next," he said, "will come the world 1 empire or recteratlon. It was at the outbreak of this war that the world found a number of great powers in alliance. It is at its conclusion that we hope for a league of the powerful nations which will have for its purpose the maintenance of permanent peace.'' "If a court such as we propose had existed a year ago," said Judge Wood manz. Austria never would have made the demands she did on Serbia. Aus tria's normal rights would have been quickly determined.' Today she and other nations would not be in the throes of war and Austria herself would not be faced with the possibility of extinction as a nation." Tomorrow is the last day of the con gress. The final meeting will be held In the evening and John Mitchell will be the principal speaker. IDAHO LUMBERMAN VICTIM Hobert F. Xeitzel Drowns Trjinjr to Ford Swollen Stream. BOISE, Idaho, May 13.

PEACE PLANS STIR HEARTS Importance of Kindergarten Work and of Parental Co-operation in .Religious and Public School Training Is TJrged. (Continued From First Prte. burdened by sorrow and want and fac ing conditions more terrible than can be described the hearts of American mothers are touched with a sympathy that has shown by deeds how heartfelt it is. "And in giving the mtaerial help, the mother heart of America has recog nized no antagonism of race or nature, but has eagerly, generously, met the needs of mothers and children, without distinction or difference. Aid Given Belgium. "The National board sent out an ap peal for money and clothing In Septem ber, 1914. With the money given, flour and condensed milk were purchased. Co-operating with the Belgian relief commission, much help was given to the sufferers In Belgium by the con gress. "Scarcely a week has passed that re quests have not been received to unite with some movement to bring about peace. The executive board instructed the secretary to write to President Wil son expressing confidence that at the earliest moment possible he will use the influence of the United States to mediate, and aid in adjusting the dif ferences. The board took this course in the belief that It is the function of the Government to do this and that it Is the desire of the government to do it. and that the President has inside infor matlon and will know when mediation Is feasible. Meantime, the many move ments to promote peace are assurances of universal desire for It. The "principles which lie at the foun dation of world peace" were outlined in the report as follows: Love God and Neighbor Vraed. - "Love God and love of neighbor must become the animating force of govern ments as well as citizens. "Greed for more territory, power, love of rule, personal and national ag grandizement are the underlying causes of war. Too great power vested in a few who are not accountable to the people has been a contributing cause. "The laom of the war that should sink into the hearts of fathers and mothers and teachers are the neofl for teaching children the Golden Rule applied to life. "Another lesson is to resist persist ently every effort to bring militarism into the United States." , The report decried bills presented In several Legislatures .to make military training compulsory for school boys. These measures were characterized "sowing the seeds of war." Mrs. Schoff touched upon the many departments of work and of their re ? Am: - quirements ana when she spoke of the need for an endowment fund to meet the necessities of home education work, the delegates "sat up and took notice" even fore than before, and the minute the president finished the Se attle delegation, with Mrs. Peter Bet tinger as spokesman, arose and said: Let s start the fund right now." ?rrrs. James O'Leary, another enthusiastic Seattle spirit, orrered to pass the hat. Verbal and written pledges came in with a rush and the fund was started with J582, Inside of less time than it takes to tell. Missouri made the banner pledge, $50. Massachusettes, California. Oregon and a few others promised $25. Mrs. H. N. Rowell and the California delegation arrived a few minutes be fore noon. They had taken a round about way from Oakland to Ogden in order to be present. Mrs. Rowell gave an Interesting report of her states work. Mrs. Milton P. Higgtns in hter report said: "Consecrated lives mean consecrated pocketbooks. The most worth-while thing in the world Is 'to start something good that will live after you." Denver Plan Described. Colorado's report, given by Mrs. Fred Dick, teemed with interest, and she as requested to give a special confer ence to local orkers. The ork done by the Denver omen in the playgrounds and among the "little mothers" was a strong feature suggesting new lines nt thought for other circles. "We don't tfclk reform," said Mrs. Dick, "our work is all constructive. The great attendance at the dancehalls is said to be caused because the young people have no place to go." That Is a reflec tion on our homelife." That kindergartens will be in full force in the public schools within five years was the prediction of Miss Flor ence Ward, of Washington State Col lege. Pullman. Miss Ward gave a rousing address and scattered wit among her words of wisdom in a fash ion that made her audience glad she had been asked to appear. Mrs. Orville T. Bright, of Chicago, advocated thorough kindergatern training for girls as the .best prep aration for motherhood. She, too, urged the Northwest to awaken to the Im portance of establishing first-class kindergartens. Plea Made for Kindergarten. Miss Bessie Locke, of New York, who represented the National Bureau of Kducation, declared that, in Oregon there are 29,000 children who should be in kindergartens. Reformatories and prisons may claim many of these, she said, if they were not places in proper environment. Kindergartens are a vital factor in education and ought to be a part of the public school system, said Miss Locke. As a practical aid to mothers who wished to attend the convention. Miss Elizabeth K. Matthews, a trained kindergartener, conducted a demonstra. tion of the good of the work. In the story hour room, she took charge of ths tts between 4 and 6 years of agre, allowing their mothers to attend the convention. W. C. Pvarce, of Chicago, who is in charge of the department of Parent As sociations in the Churches, made his plea for religious training and the need of co-operation of the parents with the teachers. He ' declared that the Sunday school, the church and the school could not succeed with the child if the parents did not help. He urged classes for parent-educating. His ad dress was full of excellent suggestions, but it remained for the question. "What are your man's Ideas on the subject of peace- ' to arouse him to his strongest assertions.

Mr. Pearce urged the mothers to take a stand in the matter of text books and have the names of great Inventors "played up" as conspicuously as have the warriors of the past been featured. Several bouquets of flowers were presented to Mrs. Schoff and the other visiting officers. Probably the flowers most appreciated by the National president were the Irish Blegane roses, the gift of Frank Plummer Barnes, grandson of O. M. Plummer, a member of the Portland Parent-Teacher Asso ciation's executive board. The eugenic test held in the Parents Educational Bureau was a revelation to many of the visitors. Nearly 20 bright, bonny, healthy "goolng" babies were examined and scored and the nurses and physicians in attendance ex plained the work to the visitors. Everyone was delighted with the dem onstration. One of the delegates re marked, "Your Oregon babies are as wonderful and beautiful as your Port land roses." Food Display . Made. The display of "foods that children should not eat" was arranged by Dr. Mae Cardwell, chairman of the state hygiene committee. The exhibit took place immediately after luncheon and was open to out-of-town delegates. Many took notes and said they would tell of the work in their home cities". Emphasis on the importance of form ing "fathers' circles" was made by Mrs. W. E. Evans, of Meridian, Idaho. Mrs. Nichols, of Bolse,-also reported for the same state. She gave credit for suc cess in the organization to the devotion of the National president. Mrs. E. C Beach, of Washington, told of Seattle's having held baby tests for 25,000 babies and of Tacoma's great work in mother ing the Boys' Parental School. Oregon Report Blade. Mrs. R. H. Tate and Mrs. Aristine Felts reported briefly for Oregon.
