Washington, March lit seems
that the Worlds Peace society consid-
ers knotty questions involved in the
Ochiltree' bismarck iinhroglio. The
basic principle of this society, since
nations always make peace
after war, is that the order
OF events should be changed, and peace
made in the first instance. The exist.
ing treaty between Mexico and the
United States provides for arbitration
in case of any future difference be-
tween the two republics. Meanwhile
congress bushes itself IN providing ves-
sells of war that maritime cities may he
secure in case of assaults by mon
strous iron clads of Europe. A distin-
guished member of the committee ON
naval affairs says that the vessels pro-
posed 10 be built will be no matches
for the heavy impenetrable floating
masses of steel and more wonderful
guns which.either of the great powers
of Europe might safely anchor In New
York or Boston harbor. Even the
