Eloquent Tribute by a Frencbman

A cablegram from Paris saws that the
Thanksgiving eve banquet of the American
Club, in that city Wednesday night, at which
prominent Frenchmen and Americans were
guests, brought out a notable demonstra-
ton for a strong navy and at the same
time an eloquent tribute from Baron d'Es-
tournelles de Constant to the part the
United States is taking in the worlds af
fairs and particularly in the maintenance
of the worlds peace.
The speech of Baron d 'EstourneIles de
Constant was significant from the fact tina
he was a member of The Hague tribunal
He said the United States had within the
last three years given Europe remarka BILE
evidence of it's power in shaping events
which constitute the worlds advancement.
When The Hague tribunal had been al
most forgotten and Intentionally ignored.
President Roosevelt brought it back to life
by referring to 1t the Mexico-C lifornia ga SO
(the Plus claim. Statesmen of Europe con-
sidered this as a chimerical effort to re-
suscitate The Hague tribunal, but 1t speedi-
ly led to the submission of the most i'm
portant case of Great Britain Germany and
Italy, against Venezuela. The Hague court.
thus saved, made steady progress. the lat.
est result being the submission of the An
glo-R Russian crisis to arbitration
Baron d'Estournelles de. Constant after
graphically portraying the horrors of the
war In the far east. declared that the en-
Iightened policy of the United States gave
hopes that even that great tragedy will be
stopped.
He closed with toast to the success of
President Roosevelt's proposition for a Sec
ond meeting of The Hague conference The
speech, which was impromptu, was heartily
applauded
