North Shore people who pass 
through the Salem depot frequently 
on their trips to and from Bostou 
during the coming summer will be 
pleased at the changes which the 
Boston & Maine railroad has made in 
the station during the past few weeks. 
For a long time the barnlike structure 
Was an eyesore for Salem people as 
well as everyone who had to go 
through it or change cars there The

walls and put in windows where for 
years past wintry winds have blown 
through.

Many municipalities in this vicinity 
are troubled by the problem of the 
expense for oiling roads the coming 
summer: ‘The pricé-o1 the ol used 
in laying the dust on highways has

the city government is discussing the 
advisability of using calcium chloride 
on the roads instead of oil. Manchester 
made use of the calcium compound a

BROTHERHOOD MEETING 
SPEAKER TELLS PLAN OF LEAGUE TO 
ENFORCE PEACE AFTER WAR. 
J. Mott Hallowell, former assistant 
attorney general of Massachusetts, 
spoke at the Manchester Brotherhood 
in the Baptist church vestry on Mon- 
day evening. Mr. Hallowell is chair- 
man of the executive committee of 
the Massachusetts branch of the 
League to Enforce Peace (emphasis 
on the enforce by request). He said 
that the league was formed on June 
17, 1915, in Independencemialigun 
Philadelphia, but that the Massachu- 
setts branch: had been in existence 
for only a few months. Ex-President 
Taft is the president of the American 
branch of the league. The list of 
state vice-presidents includes Gover- 
nor McCall and ex-Governor Walsh, 
as well as leading men in all walks of 
life. The objects of the league were 
explained by Mr. Hallowell, who af- 
terwards answered questions. regard- 
ing its probable workings. 
“If you are connecting us in your 
mind with Henry Ford or any of his 
projects, get that idea out of your 
head, ” he said. “If you think we 
are attempting to do anything regard- 
ing the present war, get that idea out 
of your head also. Our object is to 
create an international machinery 
which will come into being at the end 
of the war to prevent the reoccur- 
rence of another war like the present 
one. We hope to do this by the crea- 
tion of an international court and the 
development of international law. 
The league takes no stand on ‘pre- 
paredness;’ tnat is left to the individ- 
ual members. We have such near 
pacifists as President Garfield of Wil- 
liams college and such ardent advo- 
cates of preparedness as for example 
Adjutant-General Cole. Personally [ 
an in favor of immediate and ade- 
quate preparedness by the increase of 
our army and navy, particularly the 
lattery: 
Mr. Hallowell said that for the last 
twenty years every nation in Europe 
had been trying to outdo the other in 
the maintenance of a hugh armament. 
This had led finally to excessive tax- 
ation and the demand that the arma- 
ment be put to some use. “Must the 
United States follow the program of 
the European nations in prepared- 
ness?” he asked. “We think there is 
another way to settle differences be- 
tween nations than at the cannon’s 
mouth. We think that it can be done 
by establishing international courts.” 
Mr. Hallowell said that The Hague 
Tribunal was not a court. “It is 
no better than a fifth cousin to a 
court,” he said.
