CONGRESS
MEETS IN boston
The First Formal Meeting of the
Congress Held In Famous
fremont Temple.
The OPENING ADDRESS WAS MADE
BY EDWIN D. MEAD, OF BOSTON,
He said Oar own Republic Had
Yielded to the Termination to
Make Herself IL Great Naval Pow
cr aud Try TO Command Respect
by Force,

Boston, Oct. 4.--The first formal
business meeting OF the thirteenth in
ternational peace congress was called
to order In fremont temple. Three
deiiberatiVe sessions, at which the
delegates are expected to enter into a
free discussion of the subjects looking
toward the general attainment of
peace, which the congress has as.
sembled to consider, win continue
through Friday. An opening address
by Edwin d. Mead, Of Boston, was the
first In the order for the days meet
ing.
Mr., Mead reviewed the connection
Of fremont temple with the peace
movement. especially in 1899, when
the principal American meetings were
held there to promote interest In The
Hague conference.
Mr.. Meal continued:
We do not forget, to be sure-none
remember so constantly-that our own
republic, from which it was, indeed,
your right not to expect it, has yielded
in these days to the temptation to
make herself also a great naval pow
or, and INDUCED the hoary Old ambi-
tons of commanding respect by force
instead of ideas and the Deighborly
hand. We acknowledge the justice of
your warnings and reproaches. We do
not resent them; we thank you for
them. If in the great temptations OF
our opulence and power some are In
danger of forgetfulness and falthless-
ness, may the presence of so many OF
/ you here from nations whose burdens
and dangers are so much greater than
ours. and who need the support of
| every influence of ours upon the right
side and not the wrong side. help to
call us back to IL great national
ideals and better selves. You have a
