His lordship then spoke on the sit
uation in the east. He said that in
the past year the European concert
had not prevented Gil eece from going
to war; but had succeeded in preserv-
ing the peace of Europe. Had the
concert eXerted all of it's force to
prevent Greece from going to war the
responsibility might have rested up
on it of erasing Greece from the map"
In concluding Salisbury said. The
one hope we have CT preventing a
competition of ornaments among
European powers ending in a terrible
effort for mutual destruction, fatal /. ,
civilization, is that the powers m~y
gradually be brought to act together
in a friendly spirit as to all questions
that may arise and at last that they
shall be welded into some internal
construction which will give the world
as the result of their strength long
unfettered commerce, prosperous
trade and continual peace.

moro heartily than Mr.. Peterson
over these same stories, either but
sometimes there is 4 tender vein 10
them. At the little Wisconsin home,
the old folks are very religious, and
from time immemorial there has been
family prayer, and grace before meals,
without skip. Within that atmos-
phere Mir, Peterson attained mans
