I'm the month of June, the Emperor

President Roosevelt for a conference

possible for the two powers to deter.

powers by virtue of which they could.

Prominent Speakers in Attendance Outside
0rder...Reso|utions Adopted.

Mount Lebanon. N. Y. Aug. 81
The peace convention called by the
Shakers was held here, today. Some
of the speakers. who were not men,
bers of the society, were Walter S.

Bar Association; William Barnes. ST..
of Albany, Rev. James E. Gregg of
Pittsfield, Mass. and Rabbi Chas.
F1eischer of Cambridge. Mass.
Two hundred persons We're present
to listen to the speeches. having for
their keynote universal peace. Broth
er Henry Nichols presided and made
the opening address. He alluded to
the interest the Shakers had always
taken in tie efforts for universal peace
The following resolution was adopt :.
ed by the convention:
Whereas we believe that all wars are
equally barbarous and equally unneccssa-
ry, their deSolatinE cruelty effectng
nothing for the cause of justice or human
liberty, and to be regarded only as a re-
turn to primitive savagery, therefore,
Resolved. That the widespread and
growing interest in the cause of interna-
tiOnal arbitration proves it to be not q
dream of theorists and Missionaries, but a
rational. practical way of settling all dis
putcs and the hope of the world for hui
name civilization.
Resolved. That the interests of human
ity require the reduction of the arma-
ments of nations on land and sea and in
the greater enlightenment of our day,
when the nations have come to recognize.
moral element as entering into their
relations with each other. such reduction
can be made to the limit necessary for
an international police force.
Resolved. That in disarmament and the
consequent reduction of taxation which
now falls so heavily on the producing
classes would be found remedy for
many of the industrial disturbances which
are mcnacing our whole social system.
Resolved, That the establishment of the
great waterways of commerce as neutral
zones so far as international traffic is
concerned is entirely practicable and that
by this the injury to the trade of ma
tions. through war. would be reduced to
q minimum and the interests of civili-
cation fostered.
