LET Us HAVE PEACE.
Prominent ChicagOans Start a Move
ment for International Arbitration

Prominent ChicagOans Start "A Move
ment for international Arbitration.
CHICAGO. Feb. GA committee of
prominent citizens has issued a call to
all parts of the country for expressions OF
opinion on the proposition to establish a
permanent board of arbitration for the
settlement of difficulties between this
country and England. After calling at
tention to the recent war rumors the call
continues:
We suggest and propose that the
people of all cities and towns OF the
union, at their meetings to celebrate the
birth of Washington. or at special meet
ings called for the purpose on the sun
day afternoon next following, or
in the meetings of their societies, clubs,
churches, social, religious, or CONNER
cial, organizations nearest in time to
Whashington's birthday, shall embody
their views, each assemblage in its own
way, on the following questions:
First-Do we wish the governments OF
the United States and Great Britain, by
formal treaty, to establish arbitration as
the method of concluding all differences,
which may fail of settlement by diplo-
macy, between the two powers?
Second-What is our opinion of war as
a mode of deciding controversies between
the United States and Great Britain?
DR.. William c. Gray, SO Dearborn
street, Chicago, and VIM. h. Dodge, IL
Cliff street. New York, will receive the
proceedings, which should be sent in
duplicate, and arrange them for trans
mission 10 the president of the United
States and queen of England.
We request our newspapers, religious
and secular if this proposal shall APP
pear to them to be good; and
wise, to give ii their sanction. and urge
the people in all parts of the union to
consecrate this celebration of the birth
of Washington to this cause, by taking
appro pirate action on that day, or upon
convenient occasions clustering around
