RESIDENT ROOSEVELT,

age as Miss Jane Adams for


man as the heroic ideal, has
recently set his seal of approval on the
peace movement by acceding to the re-
quest of the Interparliamentary union
that he invite the reassembling of The
Hague conference.
1t is five years ago there was held the
epoCh-making Hague conference, where
came together g company of 100 men in
the interests Of universal peace feder-
alton. Mr.. Edward Everett Hale, an
American enthusiast in the movement
towards bringing about world peace,
speaks Of that 'assemblage of men in
this manner: "The best informed hun
dred men, and, on the whole, the hundred
men least prejudjCed, who have ever
sat down to one pulp since the world
began"
The cars proposal for q peace con-
ference was communicated to the for
eign representatives in St. Petersburg
August "a, 1898, in circular commonly
known as the cars irencon. Response
was ready, and seemingly sympathetic,
on the part of all the governments, and
promise given that delegates would be
sent to represent the several nations. 1t
was decided that some quiet place be
chosen for the meeting, not great polit-
tcal center, and The Hague was selected
by the car as fulfilling the require
merts. In getting out the invitations
tor this meeting poor Netherlands had
to deal with delicate questions that be-
set every would-be hostess, had to hesi-
tate as to whether this guest would

in his address at the seventh annual con-
ference on international arbitration
(held at Lake Mohonk, New York;, de-
clares: "The necessity of permanent
peace is now established, not only among
fdealists, but among all intelligent men
and women engaged in the active work
of daily life. Especially is it desirable
that the great producers of food, who
answer the prayers for bread of half
the world, with the bankers the mer-
chants, the manufacturers, the educa-
tors, and all others who control the
great industries of the nation, unite in
that practical direction of its affairs
which shall compel universal permanent
peace. The Lake Mohonk conference

FINLAND.

Jemtlands poster, newspaper pub
lished in northern Sweden, has re-
ceived interesting private news from
St. Petersburg with regard to the
arrest of Gen. Schaumann, the father
of Eugen Schaulnann, who killed
Governor Bobril<off. According to this
version the excuse for the arrest of
the old gentleman was, that when his
house was searched after the tragedy
drawing Of the senatorial chamber
and surroundings was found in a
book belonging to General Schau-
mann. This was explained to the
effect that father and son had CO.
operated in planning the assassina-
ton. General Schaumann protested
most energetically, stating that the
drawing did not belong to him, that
he had had nothing to do with it's
origin, and that he had not even seen
it until it was placed before his eyes
by the police. But the authorities
used the document as evidence of his
completely in the assassination, and
he was summarily transported to
Peter and P;lul's citadel in St. Peters,
burg. There he would have Ian
guished until delivered by a welcome
death if the Russian government had
not gradually come to the conclusion
that all possible clemency must be
practiced in order to stem the mighty
tide of discomfort which is rising in
all parts of Russia, and especially in
Finland 1,,hora pripca 0hOlaDskv on
tered upon his duties as governor
general with Il conciliatory program
which is firmly backed by the Rus
sian government. 1t has leaked out
that the ill-starred drawing had been
put into the book by the police in
order that the authorities might have
some excuse for arresting the owner
of the book. Now General Schau
mann will have a formal hearing at
Abo. But the examination will take
place behind closed DOORS No re-
porters will be admitted, and no news
paper will be allowed to report the
proceedings. The trial will be sum-
mary, and the whole matter may be
disposed of in a single day. General
Schaumann is also said to be charged
with another crime. It is stated that
among his papers was found a plan
for organizing volunteer sharp
shooters association embracing the
whole of Finland, and that the Rus
sian authorities looked upon this as
a dangerous and reasonable move
ment.

other counties has some form Of IL

several of them allow nonresidents to

only for hunting certain kinds of

1000 members in attendance. Forty
years ago there was held at Geneva,
Switzerland, an international convoca-
ton OF European states whose object
was the lessening of needless suffering
OF soldiers in war. This Geneva con-
vention provided for the neutrality OF
the members and building of the medical
departments on battle fields. A few
years later, in 1872, the Geneva Tri-
bunal' tribunal of arbitration. settled
the case of the Alabama claims and
adopted rules important in the history
of international law. The Norwegian
storthing or parliament was the first off,
DIAL body to organize an international
peace union. Recently local and gen.
eral peace societies in various countries
have continued and very considerably
advanced the peace agitation"- If one
may use such a paradoxical term.
Three years prior to The Hague con-
ference an International peace congress
was held at Buda-Pesth. Succeeding

behalf Of arbitration and peace.
It seems curious that greedy Russia
should be the country most prominent
in universal peace propaganda. We all
know of the present cars call for The
Hague conference, but some of our read
ers may not be acquainted with similar
action on the part of predecessor of the
car, Alexander I. of Russia. This
Alexander instituted many reforms in
the domain over which he ruled, and
few years before his death became
greatly interested in the formation of a
and peace. In 1915, aided by Austria
and Prussia, he formed the Holy Al
| lance" the text of which was presently
/ signed by all the other European SOW
ereigns save those of Rome and Eng
land. The holy alliance and the insti-
gator Of it, like The Hague conference
and its imperial suggestor, has been
the subject of much cynical remark, the
motive of Russias head in each case
considered not one of unalloyed altru-
ism. Doubters say Alexander and the
co-signers of the holy alliance, living at
the time of the fall of the French royal
ty, of Napoleon's successes and failure,
instituted the alliance for the purpose
OF perpetuating existing dynasties; that
Car Nicholas II. had in The Hague con-
ference scheme of limited ornaments
an object that was primarily to bring
benefit to his own nation, Russia being
absorbed in gigantic development plans
that would be seriously impeded by war
Be this as it may, motives mixed o. un-
mixed, as some one says the progress OF
the world has often been through en-
lightened serf-intcrest, and Russia's
name will be associated in history WITH
the inauguration of movements towards
the goal Of universal peace.

can republic, but England would allow
no special Boer representative, so
that no Partially be shown, neither the
South African republic nor the Orange
Free State received invitations; the
Bulgarian Representative, to please the
Porte, had to sit with the delegation

South America; Europe, the United

were finally the elect granted invita-

In May, 1899, in '"The House in the

Ten sessions were held and three COM
mittees made reports. The first COM
mittee, which dealt with the limitation
of ornaments and the humanizing OF
warfare, was not able to present very
successful work, it not having been
found practicable to adopt any disarma-
ment proposition, and such a wide differ
| ence of opinion showing itself anent the
question of prohibiting the use of va
rious inventions in warfare. The Sec
pnd committee had for consideration
the protection Of sea hospital service
under the Red Cross flag, the extending
Of the Geneva convention of 1864 to
maratime warfare, and the treaties pre-
pared by this committee stood for
marked progress in the humanizing of
warfare, and they alone are thought to
have justified the holding of the con-
gress. The third committee had for con-
sideration the very important question
of international arbitration, and 1.-THE
convention for the peaceful adjustment
of international differences" was signed
and ratified by all the powers repre-
,ented at the conference. Mr.. Edwin A.
Start, in summing up The Hague meet
ing, declares that congress, with all

1886 barrels of ''fat herring" was

outside of Nordland. What is called
the North Sea drift-net fishing

be back before the fall of 1905, mas
much as the Norwegians may need
it by that time for some scientific
undertaking. The department Of war
has answered that if the ship is rent

must be commanded either by Capt
Otto Sverdrup or by some other Nor
