It Was stated that-the report could not yet be- given but as itmust first--be submitted to 'Super visor, Oast at 'Norfolk, Va; It is known, however, that the report has been completed by the inspectors Hand as stated above there is" a 'strong public rumor thaf the decision is favorable to the Southport. - v ' It will be remembered that the col lision, between the Southlort and the Mercur v occurred , several weeks ago about fifteen miles below the city.

From, time to" time news articles in reference to thi3 society have appear ed in the columns ofs The Dispatch. To these may be interestingly added the-followjng editorial from the Wash ington Post: - V "The fact that both Presid'ent Taft and Secretary Knox are giving their full support to the movement to bring about the settlement of international disputes without resort to arms should give bone and sinewv to the newly or ganized American Societyfor the Ju dicial Settlement of International Dis putes. The purpose . of .this body. ; is -to spread' the international peace movement, and. follows the general lines laid down by Secretary Knox in his identic circular note, dated Octo ber 18, 1909, urging the powers, to invest , the international U prize , court with the jurisdiction' and functions of a court of arbitral justice. "The 'object of te society should receive general support, 'of course.- It has been argued that there is no more , reason vhy nations should go to war than there is for citizens to take the law into their; own handst and slaugh ter "each other in the streets. And, as the President says, an international peace court is the best way. of bring-" ins about disarmament. : ; " "While this ideal is being achieved, however, there is but one way to pre serve peace, and that is to have a big navy and a strong army. This nation should always' be prepared for war on land- and sea, thereby insuring respect- fril observance of American rights and inspiring other nations' to cultivate peaceful delations'; with us."
