Ex-President Cleveland wrote: The
members and friends Of the Society OF

upon an undertaking SO practical and
so noble as the effort they are now
making to secure an abandonment OF
war as a means for the settlement OF
international differences. and Il there
is any substance 10 the claim that our
institutions and the traits that charac-

be IN the lead IN any movement in the
interests Of peace"
Ex-PreSideut HarrisOn's letter SAYS
For myself and much more for the
