he said. but not less pre-eminently devot-

referring to the enormous sacrifice made
during the civil war and the devotion Of
Americans TO arbitration. But the ques-
tion he was urging upon the delegates, he
said. was one Of right, justice and pro-
gress for the whole world, and this all
Americans felt deeply. Nor could the &C
ceptance Of the American proposal injure
any nation. on the contrary, it would
| strengthen all.
The head Of the American delegation
concluded with an eloquent appeal to the

The American delegation is much graf

not anticipate a practical issue at this
time The maximum success possible was
a fun and free opportunity Of placing
the American view on record and OF con-

This result which at one time appeared
impossible. owing 70 the almost INSOFAR
