Oct. 1..- international . still in the swashbuckler stage," asserts Prof. George if. Stratton of the department of psychology of the l"ni- \ersity of California in a brochure prepared for the American Association fur international Conciliation. Writ- ing under the title "The Double Stan- dard in Regard to Fighting," the psychologist maintains that there is a standard of high honor observed by individuals, and a far lower standard which nations keep. In part he writes: Violence, lying and hribery, that occur only among individuals with- out the pale, arc found anions- the established means of intercourse with honored nations. Men who would not think of assayltrng an- other to gain an end?who'would indeed suffer great loss and be proud to suffer it rather than ob- tain their rights by such a method ?feel that a nation should ever be ready to sesert its claim by blows. International life is still in the swashbuckler stage. Each people is belted and booted and spurred with l -d shoutings that this alone is the way to peace. The higher, standards are not something mere- ly of the future. They have al- ready brought it to pass that a permanent and impartial tribunal is available In ail cases of inter- national dispute. And their work will go on until there is also avail- able nn impartial military force to protect the single nation from ag- gression. OAKLAND. Oct. 19. ?Emilie Etienne alleged that she had been persuaded to purchase 4,000, shares of January ml stock for $1,180 and 1.000 shares of July- oil stock for $290 on representations that both companies had been sold to English capitalists, in a suit for damages which she filed today. De- fendants in the action were Alfred G. Wilkes, Herman Layer, Thomas Wilkes and Harry S. Korean, doing business as th<> Wilkes-Kergan company. The plaintiff said she owned 10,000 shares of the January Oil company stock, which she purchased in 1910, and that shortly afterward she was told that the two companies were to be sold to an English company. Alfred G. Wilkes, she was told, had gone to England to put through the sale. Representations were said to have been made at the time that holders of January oil stock would be paid a bonus of $1 a share and that July oil holders would have 75 cents a share distributed after the sale. Later, she complained, she found out J that the sale had not been made, hence I the suit for damages. Leaders of the iransbay smart set, rvho are prominent at social functions in the transbay cities. 48 Sole Oakland aJ^Fa{& _/*£_> _F *Mt mf& S ° lC ° akland Agents for %jQ *" Forsythe &J a___n I I H'jHT I IT Revillon Tailored Waists Freres Furs Ciay, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Sts., Oakland Children's KNIT UNDERWEAR.

Professor of Psychology Com=ments on Curious ConditionsBERK ELI".'!. Oct. 1..- international. still in the swashbuckler stage,"

asserts Prof. George if. Stratton of thedepartment of psychology of the l"ni-\ersity of California in a brochureprepared for the American Associationfur international Conciliation. Writ-ing under the title "The Double Stan-dard in Regard to Fighting," thepsychologist maintains that there is astandard of high honor observed byindividuals, and a far lower standardwhich nations keep. In part he writes:

Violence, lying and hribery, thatoccur only among individuals with-out the pale, arc found anions- theestablished means of intercoursewith honored nations. Men whowould not think of assayltrng an-other to gain an end?who'wouldindeed suffer great loss and beproud to suffer it rather than ob-tain their rights by such a method?feel that a nation should ever beready to sesert its claim by blows.

International life is still in theswashbuckler stage. Each peopleis belted and booted and spurredwith l°l-d shoutings that this aloneis the way to peace. The higher,standards are not something mere-ly of the future. They have al-ready brought it to pass that apermanent and impartial tribunalis available In ail cases of inter-national dispute. And their workwill go on until there is also avail-able nn impartial military force toprotect the single nation from ag-gression.

OAKLAND. Oct. 19.?Emilie Etiennealleged that she had been persuaded topurchase 4,000, shares of January mlstock for $1,180 and 1.000 shares of July-

oil stock for $290 on representationsthat both companies had been sold toEnglish capitalists, in a suit fordamages which she filed today. De-fendants in the action were Alfred G.Wilkes, Herman Layer, Thomas Wilkesand Harry S. Korean, doing business asth<> Wilkes-Kergan company.

The plaintiff said she owned 10,000shares of the January Oil companystock, which she purchased in 1910, andthat shortly afterward she was toldthat the two companies were to be soldto an English company. Alfred G.Wilkes, she was told, had gone toEngland to put through the sale.

Representations were said to havebeen made at the time that holders ofJanuary oil stock would be paid abonus of $1 a share and that July oilholders would have 75 cents a sharedistributed after the sale.

Later, she complained, she found out

J that the sale had not been made, henceI the suit for damages.
