part in the work of the council has Just
arrived here from The Hague. She said
to representative of the Associated
Press:

the peace conference. l have already
won notable support in Austria, but it is
to the great country beyond the sea that
we look to as the mighty propagandsts
OF peace. I deplOre, as do so many
Americans themselves, the necessity OF
appealing to arms last year. But we are
not peace at any price people We be-
heVe righteous call to arms is still a
necessity of the age, but it is impossible
for me to believe there will he any future
great resort to arms among civilized peo-
pie. After the splendid awakening of
the cZar and with the Anglo-Saxons in
the van of the peace movement, nothing
in that direction is impossible.''
