A WCRLL'S CONGRESS.

No attempt has ever been made to get
together any congress representing the
highest intelligence OF the various ma
tions OF the world. The nearest ap-
proach to this was the peace conference
at The Hague. The failure OF that body
was caused by the fact that IL was Sc
lected to represent political and personal
interests. IL will be interesting 10 note
first worlds congress I'm which oil ma
tions shall he represented by men of the
highest integrity and intellectual caliber.
The difficulties In effecting such a gath
ering are almost insurmountable, but The
Cosmopolitan Magazine Is making the ef-
fort with "a full recognition of the. end
less obstacles TO be overcome. In the
March number. The Cosmopolitan's plan
Is briefly outlined. Its agents in Europe
and elsewhere are carefully maturing lists
OF the ablest men OF each country con-
sidered with reference-First, To their
sincerity. Second. Their earnestness.
Third. Clear thinking, that is. ability
10 see the truth. Fourth. Broad expert
ence in affairs.
These names are five times as great In
number as the candidates to be eventually
selected' Upon these the opinions OF lead
ing men in other countries will be Sc
cured. so that the final selection will rep
resent n consensus of opinion by the lead
ing men OF the world OF thought The
Cosmopolitan is also endeavorinR TO Sc
cure by contribution a fund OF a quarter
OF n million dollars Ia provide for the ex-
penscse of the first worlds congress.
