DE CONSTANT CANNOT COME.
He Will Not Be Present at Boston Peac,
 Congress

Paris. Sept. 17.-Baron DEstournelIes de Constant. the deputy who was the most prominent figure in the peace movement which led to the British and French cordial understanding writes to the Associated Press that he deeply regrets his inability to attend the Peace Congress at Boston, owing to the ap- preaching French elections, in which he Is candidate for reelection to the Senate.
 The Baron adds:
 T had hoped at Boston to publicly recognize the grand and decisive ser vices rendered to the cause of inter- national arbitration by the United States and particularly by President Roosevelt. Better than any one, I know that the court at The Hague stood de- serted. abandoned and ridiculed until the day when he had the courage. gen erosity and foresight to save 1t. That act alone has entitled him to the thanks, for his pacific and liberal spirit, of all Europe"
