UNITED STATES PEACE CENTER

WASHINGTON. d. c., oct. 1.-THE
president has decided on the advice of
Secretary Hay, to take no action to-
ward calling a second conference of
The Hague peace congress until after
the close of the war between Russia
and Japan. When it finally is called it
in Washington instead of at The
Hague
The president promised the delegates
TO the nterparliamentary union that
he would issue the invitations for the
congress lat an early date" but he
has since concluded that the present
is not an opportune time for sec
ond step toward international arbi-
tration. Japan and Russia We're two
of the principal signers to the first
Hague convention. Both are opposed to
a call for a second congress now on
the ground that it might lead to an
attempt at intervention. For the same
reason England and France, allies of
the warning powers. are opposed to
any action by the president while the
war is on. Unofficial inquiries by
American diplomats at other European
capitals convinced Mr.. Hay that invi-
tations to a peace congress would not
now be received with favor.
If Mr.. Roosevelt is in the White
House when the war ends he will at
once open negotiations with the ma
tionS to secure their views as to the
time and place for holding the con-
gresS. These preliminaries, it now is
stated. may take a year. On account
of the expense involved in entertaining
the congress. it will not be forced on
The Hague. If the government of the
Netherlands extends an invitation. the
congress doubtless will be held there.
but otherwise it may meet in Switzer-
land or some other small European
country. or in Washington If a senti-
ment favorable to the American capi-
tai is developed, congress will be asked
to appropriate a fund with which to
entertain the delegates.

or with a frill ar the wrist, as may be
liked.
The sleeve consists OF the fitted foun-
