President Kellogg Deliver Strong Addresses ' Montreal. Sept. I; Premier Bor den opened the annual meeting ; of the American Bar Association today witn an address welcoming the-most distinguished body' of men ever gath ered in Canada. The leading jurists of the Uuited States are hcjre, almost without exception, and besides' them there are some of the. most prominent members of the bar" in Canada, Eng land and France. : - , The session of the Bar Association this morning was devoted to tne ad dress of welcome by the Canadian Prime Minister, the" annual address of the president of the; association; de livered by Frank B. Kellogg, of St. Paul, Minn., the nomination and elec tion of new members, the reports oT officers and similar routine. Lord Haldane's Address . s The Rt. Hon. Richard Burdon Hal dane, Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain, delivered the annual address his subject being "Higher National ity a Study in Law and Ethics," and he ' held the attention of his . hearers until the end of his speech, which was only a little under ten thousand words long. ' - The Lord Chancellor began, by em phasizing the fact that the United States Canada and Great Britain to gether form, a unique group because of the common inheritance of tradi tions, surroundings . and ; ideals, and particularly 'in the region bf jurispniT dence. He declared rthat lawyers are called on- in days that lie in front trt moald jninionand encourage thfr cad'ons of - this -group to develop and- recognize a, reliaqfeichaxacxer -mi iBo obligatipjiKe-y-ftSUrae toward each other. He -eonsMered-that-;-there are relations possible, within-such .a grotip that are not possible, for . nations more isolated; and: lacking identity of history and v spirit Canada., Great Britain and the - United . States, -with common language, common interests, common ends, -resemble a single socie ty, which might develop a foundation for internationat faith of a kind new in the history '. of the world. The Endish visitor urged lawyers to as sist in the freshening of the conven tional atmosphere whicli surrounds men in miblic ltfe-bT omitting no op portunity to thinkf Tightfully. and to contribute to the1 fashioning of a more honeful and resolute kind of public opinion. It was the chance of laying before the audience at the American Bar Association -I atVi Montreal this thought that induced , him to obtain remission from .King George 'V to visit this meeting. Continuing, Xord Haldane presented the following message from King George V: . - "I have givetf':.my Lord Chancellor nermission to, cross, the seas, so that he mav address the meeting at .ion treal. I have, asked him to convey from me to that great meeting of the lawyers of the United States and of Canada my best wishes for. its suc cess. I entertain'the hope that the deliberations of the distinguished men of both countries s who are to assem ble at Montreal may add yet further! tn the esteem and good will which the neople of the United States and ; of Canada and: the : United Kingdom have for each other." - - The sneaker - then , pointed to -the power of lawyers in creating and de-' vc loping law-, as well as changing it, a power more exereised out of - the legislature than within it. He spoke of the influence i of lawyers in the new world in .public affairs, which, he said, was very striking to the ob-' server. He Tiibtedr froni President Wilson, as follows: '.'The' country must find lawyers, of the right sort rnd the old spirit-to advise it. or it must stumble through a very chaos of '"Und exppriment, It never needed lawyers who are also statesmen more ban it needs them-now: needs them in its courts. An . its Legislatures, in its seats of executive' authority; lay yers who can think in the terms .of sooietv Itself.!..-' r. , ', - Iord Haldane 'then dwelt at some lensrth upon the-difference between formulated lawr whether civil or crim inal; the moral rules enjoined by pri vate conscience and the spirit-of tie mmunity. for-which the English have no name, but which the Ger mans call "Sittlichkeit." and which he denned as the system of habitual or customary conduct; ethical - rather 'nan legal, which-embraces all those ?''hations of the citizens which ' It I?, "bad form" or. "not the thing"Jto nisreard, the social penalty, . or 'jich is being "cut" or looked -on askance. He pointed out that -without snob restraint thete could be no tol erable social life - jand said that.. it as this instinctire, sense of what to o and what not to do in daily lifs anl behavior that was the source -of liberty and ease, and that this In v'"(ltlVe sense -of obligation was the cnief foundation of society. He de r,oed "Sittlichkeit as those prin ciples of conduct-which regulate peo Ja m their relations -'to each , other, and which have become matter - of '!it and second "natilre at the stage ?l tl'Iture reached, arid of. which uK'refore we are not ',. explicitly con scious.

DANIELS SPEAKS AT. HARTFORD. ' r'-V; ;AU Urges That The Government: Should Own Its Armorplate Factory. Hartford, Conn-, Sept 1. Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels came here today to ,' speak at the Connec ticut State fair. He urged that the governments should own its armor plate ' factory.: ' "We are-lip against the- same thing in' armor- plate ss we were with - Sun powder, and", guns, when v we -started making them for. ourselves,"- he said. ?tprbitajat,ipri(we-jchareed for. .tfurecoods, land' now the prices, are J coming down gradually.. "we should, Jiave an armor plate, factory and;"make at least-a part of the armor we need. Then we will be able to get armor at a reasonable figure." : Secretary Daniels discussed legisla tion at considerable length. He said: . "The, body of laws must grow to keep pace with human invention and progress. Congress-at this session will put-a law on the statute books to make impersonating another over the telephone a crime. ..Such a law was - not dreamed of - until the tele phone was invented, and not until the 'woii ..''used the telephone to try to influence legislation." "Nobody thought of. an effective law to prevent lobbying until lobbying be came a festering sore, The increase of laws is.. due either to our complex life, or to the need to restrain greed br evil. The fewer the laws, that will carry out the decrees of Jefferson and Lincoln the better. But in our day the-cry of 'Let us alone' has come generally from men who were mono polizing th,e milk and cream." SAM L, ROGERS WANTS JOB ' -V ' BWHMBM In Washington Conferring With.

Actual Delivery Is Intended ASSAILS GOTTOH EXCHANGES New York Exchange and Its "Para- ' . site'r $te New Orleans Ex f f :' change Characterized as . : c . - Gambling Institutions. :Wshingt6n '.- Sept. A 1. Senator Clarke addressed the Senate today on his 'amendment - to impose 'a tax f on tradmg in v,cott3on where no actual de livery:was intiidfd. He declared that the -iew ifprk cotton , exchange arid lt8paraslie(,tHh9 New Orleans Ex change, were 'no morfc than gambling instftiittonsV and that those who speculated In coton upon their floors were engaged in a wholly, selfish and illegal business. "New York" he said was, "the . chief offender, and New Orleans exhange only a minor, affair." The New York exhange he argued controlled tne prices -oil cotton for the whole , world. "I think the New York exchange," said the Senator, "is wholly bad, and has no right to exist. It is a gambling institution and it is regarded by everybody who goes there to .trade." Senator Clarke declared that gambl ing in" argicultural products had been; condemned by the platform adopted at the Baltimore convention and that the Democratic - party in Congress must take steps in conformity with that declaration of principle. He said the actual deliveries of cotton on -the New York Cotton Exchange were only half of one . per cent of .the sales. Senator Smith of South Carolina answering Senator. Clarke, declared that under the -amendment proposed the , cotton producer would indirectly Eay the . tax.- He argued in support or is own'-bilL making it mandatory for every - contract for- cotton to . specify the grade" to be delivered. .He assert? ed that -under nresent contracts, with JLhcu27. different grades of cotton trie purchaser .never Knew, wnat sort ne Will: get: untiK delitery' is made. - If trie': contract', provided for delivery pf a' specified, grade, no , man would dare go short on the cotton exchange, the Senator said. Senator Thompson wanted to know if - Senator Clarke would not be will ing :td; Include all other agricultural products , In ' the amendment "I, ant perfectly willing," replied the Arkansas Senator, "but I am not fami liar, : with, the others as I am with cotton." c . Senator .Williams suggested that speculation in other products was not carried on under the same conditions as In cotton. - Senator 'Ransdell objected to the designation of the New Orleans cotton exchange as "a parasite of the New York exchange." He declared that the rules- and " regulations were entirely different, the dominating groups were different,: and that the New Orleans exchange has an actual commercial settlemenb-of Its "differences" rather than an arbitrary settlement by an ex change committee. . Senator Clarke said he referred to the-New v Orleans exchange as a '"parasite", ; only with ,the idea that it could nor itself control or dominate the ' cotton' ' : market. "Our - business there; La-' just as fairly conducted as it can" be, and we have no connection with New York" . said Senator Rans dell. -'"New Orleans, is strictly a spot cotton, market." "The government grades of cotton were inimidlately adopted by the New Orleans exchange; they have not been adopted by New York. The ' New Orleans exchange is doing all it can i; to back up the government in its control of cotton grades.' Senator Clarke said he belieyed the proposed -tax- 'on cotton futures would in' the end break up the trading in futures, . He thought that for a time it would bring in a substantial revenue for the government but that ultimate ly future trading would . greatly de crease. "-. '. - . - - ' Senator.

It was urged that an en deavor should be-made, to so construct aeroplanes that they could be' capsiz ed. 1 Pegoud undertook to demonstrate that the- ordinary aeroplane, not. fitted with any special device was possess ed of much greater stability than was generally believed, and experts are of the opinion - that he succeeded bril liantly. - AMERICANS DEFEAT GERMANS In First of International i Series - of Sender Yacht Races ' ' Marble Head, Mass., Sept. 1.
