CALLING PEACE CONFERENCE
The Presidents Invitation Sent to Sig
natory Powers of Hague Treaty.

Acting Secretary Adee today dispatched a
communication, which is likely to be noted
in the worlds history, looking to a recon-
vention of The Hague conference. 1t is an
invitation from the President of the United
States to the signatory powers of the orig
inal Hague treaty to come together again
for the purpose of broadening and strength
ening the original convention, and es-
pecially to consider means to further ameli-
crate the horrors of modern warfare and
to conserve and extend the rights of neu-
trail commerce on the high seas.
In addition to the signatory powers the
invitation goes forward to four of the South
and Central American republics, which
have signified an earnest desire to adhere to
The Hague treaty, but which have SO far
been prevented from doing so by the sim
gular omission of general clause usual in
such treaties, allowing powers to adhere to
the articles of the treaty upon their own
application.
The note is directed to the United States
ambassadors and ministers abroad, with in
structions to sound the governments to
which they are accredited and to extend
President Roosevelt's invitation In such
terms as they see fit. While the President
has in his invitation suggested The Hague
as a proper meeting place for the confer
ence it is said that that suggestion Is not
final, but that the majority of the powers
must determine that as well as the date of
the meeting.

TOKYO NOT FULLY INFORMED.
Only Information in Hand in Brie1
Telegrams.

TOKYO, October %, 10 a.m.-The details
of the sinking of the British trawler Crane
in the North by the Russian second
Pacific squadron are not known in Tokyo
and popular and official judgment is await
ing fuller knowledge. The only informa-
ton received came in few brief kilograms
conflicting between attack and accident
Jill Is the only newspaper commenting on
the incident 1t first discusses and then
dismisses it absurd even for Russia,
which has shown want of wisdom and dis
erection several times" The suggestions are
made that the crews of the squadron desire
a preteXt for their recall from the hazard
Gus oriental cruise, or that Russia desires
to save her face by involving Great Britain.
Then the paper proceeds:
'The most likely explanation of the out
rageous action of the squadron is found in
the fact that some days ago, owing to a
rumor that Japanese vessels laden with eX-
plosives had been reported in the Danish
strait, the Danish authorities sent an es-
cort with the Russian squadron to prevent
any violation of Danish neutrality. We
know nothing of the supposed dispatch of
our ships to that quarter, but II is likely
that the Russian ships. apprehending at
tack by the Japanese, out of excessive fear
mstook the trawlers for Japanese vessels
sinking mines, anG attacked them without
making any inquiry.
