HOW BARTHOLDT WON.
Says He ResOrted to the American
Game of Bluff.

New York, June Representative
Bartholdt, founder and president of the
American group in the congress on In
ternational Arbitration explained brief
ly the formation of the group. The in
terparliamentary union will hold its
next meeting in st. Louis in Septem-
Der and Mr.. Bartholdt said that when
in Vienna last year he extended the in
vitation for this meeting, he did so en-
tirely without authority.
L had to fall back on the great
American game of bluff he said, 'and
fortunately the bluff was not called.
The delegates from Denmark VINO had
presented an official invitation from
their parliament and a written guaran-
tee from their government of a large
entertainment fund gracefully with
drew COpenba gen and the conference
decided unanimously to hold this years
meeting in the United States. But
while the delegates were cheering

plant on my hands, and do not exact

United States, by steamer, by rail or
other conveyance
Might and day I saw nothing but
that elephant until [ called on Presi-
dent Roosevelt, whom 1 felt like hug
ging when he readily consented to
help make good by calm gattention
to the Importance of the impending
conference in his next message to con-
gress. You know he has kept his
word; then came the organization of
the American group and the passage
by congress of my joint resolution eX-
tending an official invitation to the
European parliamentarians cOmpos-
ing the members of the union, and
making an Appropriation of $500 900 TO
defray the expenses incident to the
conference. Consequently the visit of
several hundred of the most dis
tinguished legislators of the world is
now an assured fact
There is no question that all other
nations look with hope and expectancy
to the United States. They feel how
political institutions if the American
government would take the lead in this
question and call, for instance, a. sec
Ond congress similar to that al The
Hague, with view to the negotiation
of arbitration treaties between the diff
ferent countries and to the renewal of
the discussion of the reduction of
ornaments. This. indeed, will be the
proposition of the American group at
the St. Louis conference and a concur
rent resolution is already pending in
congress requesting the president to
If emanating from the United States,
the acceptance of the invitation to the
other powers will be almost certain, and
especially if by the adoption of this
American proposition at St. Louis the
members of the supplementary union
will use their influence with their resDec-
tive governments in this direction. Then
then greatest OF all steps forward Will
have been taken. Law and justice will
be substituted for brute force in internal
tional relations, as it was done long ago
in civilized society, and all mankind will
rejoice in this crowning glory of modos
civilization"
A resolution is now pending in congress
authorizing the president to call such
convention.
