One Cent a WordJL I ' T 7 - .. "Father of His Country" Was Great Advocate of Prepar edness But no Glorifier of Militarism, Instructor Says Addressing Students of Pennsylvania University. Philadelphia, Pa., Feb'. 22. George Washington, after a ' century and a quarter still remains the pole star of American foreign 'policy, declared Ja cob Gould Schurman, President of Cornell 'University, to-day in an ad dress before the University of Penn sylvania, which suspended its regular academic functions for exercises in celebration of Washington's birthday. Dr. Schurman recalled how Wash ington attended commencement at the University of Pennsylvania in May, 1775 then known as the College of Philadelphia in company with the other members of the Second Conti nental Congress. Toward the conclu sion, of his address,' Dr. Schurman, after having discussed Washington's pre-eminence as a soldier, and states man, his Americanism and his insist ence on American rights, said: ' "How inspiriting is the 'example of Washington to Americans to-day! Once more a great European power men aces our rights. We are forbidden to sail our ships or to travel where we wijl on the high seas under penalty of being sunk without warning by sub marines. The German government draws lines across the ocean, which is free to all, and says to America: 'Thus far shalt thou come but no far ther. Now we recognize the restric tionsof a legitimate blockade and the penalties "of jcarrying contraband; these are fixed by hie law, of nations. But apart from these limitations Am erican ships and American passengers have a right to go where they will on all the seven seas. "Are there any who weakly advise us, to forego our rights in deference to the German challenge? Would Germany, I ask, forego her rights if in her place America without any war rant of law had set aside a vast tract of ocean for ruinous depredations on the commerce of neutrals and ruth less-attack on the lives of non-com-- batants? Could any great nation sur vive, ought any great nation to sur vive, which cr"avenly yields its rights at the summons of the aggressor? The same law which guarantees pur rights to territorial -waters authorizes us to saif freely on the high seas. If bel ligerents are permitted tov exclude us from the oceans, why should they not also appropriate our territorial waters or even march their armies across our frontiers ?V The surrender of one national right weakens and imperils every other. Come what may our na tion toust defend its rights. And with united hearts and resolute determina tion the American people stand behind President Wilson; and they will not tolerate either the paralysis of Amer ican shipping, or, the murder . or Amer ican citizens." ;. . ; v . ' w"There is a third feature of Wash ington's a statesmanship wmtu; is c necialiyr Instructive '-at the present time,'? Dr. Schurman' also pointed out. I.mean his advocacy of military pre paredness and his general attitude to the iquestions of peace , and war.: 'Though Washington was a great general and fought a victorious war for national independence he was no glorifier of militarism. . On-the oth er hand he rwas equally removed from pacifisms He regarded war as one of the inevitable features of national existence. Listen to the, wise words he addressed to Congress in his first speech after re-election: , " 'I cannot recommend to your no- f measures for the fulfillment of pur duties to the xrest of the world, without again pressing upon you the necessity of placing ourselves in a con dition of complete defence, and of ex acting from them the fulfilment of their duties towards us. The United. States ought not to indulge a persua sion,' that, contrary to the, order of hu man .events, Jhey will ever keep at a distance those painful appeals to arms, with which the history of every oth er nation abounds. There is a rank due to the United States among na tions, which will be withheld, if not absolutely lost, by1 the reputation of weakness. If we desire to avoid in sult, we must be able to repel it; if we desire to secure peace, one of the most powerful instruments . or our rising prosperity, it must be known that we are at all times ready for war. "In this passage you have Wash-j ington's ,whole' philosophy of peaces war, and preparedness. Nothing truer or wiser has ever. been written, and , Washington's words are as true and wise and ; applicable to-day ,as they were when he uttered' them in 179 3 . ' Undoubtedly there have been many changes in the century and a quarter that has since elapsed. Com munications by sea and -land have greatly improved, ' intercourse with foreign countries has increased, inter national relations have ben multiplied. Buthuman nature is substantially un changed, and national ambitions and rivalries, stimulated by greater prizes, are more intense and perhaps more explosive than ever before. What ever be the future prospects fo the hu man race, we have not; yet reached .that stage of rational and moral de velopment in which justice, righteous ness,, and public law can dispense with)' sanctions bf physical force. ' Vlt is a painful situation for Ameri ca,; dedicated as she is to peaceful in dustry, dembcratic government,' and the promotion of the general welfare. War is a contradiction of these high aims. , Yet there is no gainsaying" the truth of Washington's words: If we want to secure peace we must be' at all times ready for war.' Indeed the saying is truer now than ever before. For war to-day is conducted on such a colossal scale, and makes use of such a ,vast and multiform organization of economic and industrial as well as military instrumentalities, that a na tion unprepared to defend itself might easily be subjugated before it had time to organize its resources and bring its armies into" action. Could Wash ington, therefore, speak. to us to-day he would more fervently than ever im plore his countrymen to provide an adequate national army,, to prescribe universal military training for our young men, and to organize thorough ly in time of peace all the economic, industrial, and military forces which in time of war would be necessary for the defence of the nation. 'I want to 1 consider, ' in the last place, Washington's conception of the relation of the United States to oth er nations in any form of league or alliance or concert,, or (if you prefer the more modern language) in any kind of international organization. "Washington described the policy of his administration in a letter which he wrote to Gouveneur Morris Ui De cember, 1795. 'My policy', he says, 'has been, and will continue to be, while I have the honor to remain in the administration of the government, to be upon friendly terms with, but independent of, all the nations of the earth; to hare in the broils of none; to fulfill our own engagements; to supply the wants and. be carried for them all; being thoroughly convinced that it is our policy and interest to do so. V The same rule of conduct in re gard to foreign nations he commends as a permanent policy in the 'Farewell Address.' Let us extend our commer cial relations with them, but have as little political connection as possible. Here is the classic passage: " 'Europe has a set of primary in terests, which to us have none, or a very remote relation. Hence she must be engaged in frequent contro versies, the causes of which are essen tially foreign to our concerns. Hence therefore it must be unwise in us to implicate ourselves, by, artificial ties in the ordinary vicissitudes of her pol itics, or the ordinary combinations and collisions of her friendships, or enmities. " 'Our detached and distant situa tion invites and enables us to pursue a different course. .. " 'Why . forego the advantages of so peculiar a situation? ' Why quit our own to stand upon foreign ground ? Why, by interweaving our destiny with that of any part of Eurbpe, entangle .our peace and prosperity in the toils of European ambition, rivalship, in terest, humor, dr caprice? " 'Tis our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any por tion o'f the foreign world.' "This passage is not encouraging to the advocates of .international organi zations to compel peace among the na tions. And if not by physical com pulsion, at any rate by the pressure of public bpinion we Americans should, and I think do, all devoutly f desire to see peace - permanently established in the world.. It must be repogniaed that insthe last half century thet-Viations of the earth have come into closervre lations with one another than ever be fore, that the welfare of eaclris much more Intimately bound up with the welfare of all than in any preceding period in the ' histpiw of the: world, and ;that the preservation of . universal peace is a matter , of individual ' con cern to-each member of the' family of nations, .-America, Jfor tJnstah5,-' being profoundly affected and, it may well be. endangered by .w&fs1' :inr Europe, Asia or ainca. , . 1 . . ,. "This - is a . change brought about by historical -. evdlutibn. which, of course .could not have foreseen. :The tremendous problem created by it has not yet been solved. And though, I profoundly sympathize with the ob- ect of the proposed leagues and con certs to enforce or establish univer sal peace I am unable to convince my self that any method hitherto propos ed of accomplishing that result will be found ,either feasible in Itself or desirable for adoption by the United States. ) 1 "Perhaps some progress might be made if we focused attention on the fact that every nation besides being exclusive sovereign over its own ter ritory and. territorial waters has also joint and equal authority with every other nation on the high seas, which, as ' we say, are therefore free to all. On that actual juridicial basis it seems to me possible,' and indeed probable that an international structure might be reared for bringing together the nations of the world and jcommission ing those with nayies jointly to main tain the freedom 'of the seas and to Restrain and punish any -belligerent who -Infringed on the rights of neu trals or violated the established prin ciples of maritime international law. In other words, , if you want to pre vent war, naval1 internationalism is the most hopeful form of' attacking the problem and that for the reason that every nation shares with all others joint and" equal sovereignty over, the high seas." "But this suggestion of international naval co-operation for the mainten ance of the freedom of he seas and the (integrity of the maritime' law of nations, so far from disposing me to criticize Washington's policy of. ab stention from participation' in Euro pean politics, only strengthens and confirms my approval and admiration bf it. It is still true that America las no interest in the European bal ahce of poweror noyconcern with the dynastic, racial ana religious strug gles or. with the territorial ambitions and other rivalries which lead foreign countries to attack one another. Eu rope has a complex of political inter ests, which have only a remote rela tion to America. And it would- cer tainly be most unwise for us gratui tously to implicate ourselves in 'the ordinary combinations and collisions of her friendships, or enmities.' Our geographical location, our national in terests, and our history and traditions still admonish us to follow the advice of Washington. Why, indeed, should we to-day any more than in Washingr ton's time 'entangle our peace and prosperity in the toils of European ambition, rivalship, interest, humor, or caprice' ?"

The war tax for 384 companies at -the neigh boring city of Turin amounted to $5, 000,000. Of this sum an autemobile company, alone paid $1,250,000. While many ' companies appear to have endeavored to aodge the war-t tax, it has been strictly applied.

Osborn of New Ha ven, chairman of the board of parole, clashed before the committee on judi ciary yesterday when there was dis cussion of a bill which defines the powers and duties of the board of pa role, which Mr. Alcorn is interested in having enacted into law. Mr. Alcorn' declared that the star chamber methods of the board of pa- role left them under suspicion. He 'declared, that secrecy in the working of the board had resulted In favorit ism for those of wealthy and political connections. It ' developed that there had been considerable - correspondence between the,' two men relative' to the' records of the meetings of the board ,of parole of the state prison. 'Alcorn asked to have the board notify him of cases in which the board was about to tak&. action. j He cited the burning of a barn in Bloomfield, by a released convict, as an evidence that the board's methods were not now what they should, be. The incendiary had threatened, while in- prison, to burn the barn when he was released, and being released be fore the expiration of Wis, minimum sentence, he had. returned to. Bloom field, without the knowledge of the townspeople. - Persons familiar with the situation profesed to hear in the acrimonious discussion an echo of the', case of Wil liam F. Walker, the New Britain bank wrecker, who was paroled without the knowledge of the state's attorney. . Mr. . Osborn declared that the pur pose of prosecuting attorneys in gen eral not particularly Mr. Alcorn was to continue to pYosecute and for that reason, he did not believe that Mr. Alcorn's request that he be given the records or the board should be grant ed.
