MESSAGE FROM THE QUAKERS


Philadelphia, Dec. 2s,--The com
mittee appointed by the American
Friends peace conference to prepare
n message to President Roosevelt
yesterday mailed a copy Of the adj
dress to the white house. The fol-
lowing is an excerpt from the ad-
dress: eve have observed with en-
enlargement and satisfaction the
passage in thy message to congress
in which the declarations are made
that the true end Of every great and
free people should be self-rcspecting
peace that this nation most ear
nestly desires sincere and cordial
friendship with all Others and that
more and more the civilized peoples
are realizing the wicked folly of war,
and are attaining that condition of
just and intelligent regard for the
rights of others which viii in the end
make worldwide peace possible We
earnestly desire that these senti-
ments, so true and timely, may grow
and prevail, and that during thy adj
ministration the public opinion in
behalf Of rational methods for set
Ting international differences may
be fostered and all possible steps be
taken to make such methods practi-
cal and effective"
