of International Law.
The Only Question is That of
Practicability.

SARATOGA, ". Y, Aug 20.-Nearly
five thousand people assembled today
To listen to the address Of Lord Chief
Justice Russell, OF England. on "In-
ternational Arbitration" before the
American Bar association. IL was
one % the most distinguished audi
ences that ever gathered here. Lord
Russell gave sketch Of the growth
and progress Of the movement for in
ternational arbitration in this coun-
try and Europe, which he very
strongly indorsed, but pointed out that
IL lacked much of having reached the
point Of actual efficiency. He de-
clared il would not cover the whole
field Of international controversy un-
I'll tho great powers OF the world in
league bid the mselves coerce recall
citrant nations. He expressed doubt
whether in any case permanent
tribunal would be practical or desir.
able. The interests involved to the
community were so enormous aud
the forces Of national sympathy. pride
and prejudice so searching that he
doubted whether such tribu-
nsl could long retain control
and confidence. With war as
the final arbitrator, nations
would not put forward trivial
ciaima With IittIe risk atfeptipy
arbitration there would be grea,
temptation TO do so. There was.
however. one influence which might
always be legitimatoly exercised by
the powers In the interest of peace
meditation.
