INVITATION
is ACCEPTED
Extended by the Russian
Government
TO THE UNITED STATES
For an International Peace Congress at
The Hague, to Settle Compiler
tons Arising from the Re
cent War.
TO THE UNITED STATES

Washington. Oct. 16.-The state de-
partment las made public the invitations
|of the Russian government to a second
conference at The Hague, and the presi-
dents response. These take the shape
OF two memoranda, one dated September
10, being an unsigned memorandum de-
livered BY Baron Rosen to the president
lat Oyster Bay, and the other a memoran-
dun dated October 49, also unsigned,
delivered by the president to Baron
Rosen in Washington. The first memoir
andum is a mere recital of the opportune-
ness Of another conference with the pro-
mise to submit detailed program by
Russia when the congress meets. The
presidents memorandum is a hearty ac-
lceptance of the invitation, and directs
lattention to the fact that his previous
circulars to the powers appear to be
precisely in line with the Russian pa
ipers. The last memorandum was de-
livered TO Baron Rosen Thursday night
for transmission to st. Petersburg.
The following is in part the presidents
memorandum in response:
The president most gladly welcomes
the offer of his imperial majesty to
lagain take upon himself the initiation
| of the steps requisite TO con enc a Sc
cond international peace conference as
THE necessary sequence to the first con-
ference, brought about through his ma
liesty's efforts, and in view Of tie COR
| dial responses to the presidents sugges-
ton Of October, 1904, he doubts not that
the project viii meet with complete ac-
ception and that the result will be to
bring the nations of the earth still more
closely together in their common en-
deavor to advance the ends of peace. As
respects the further statement of his
excellencv's memorandum of September
us, that, as the late war has given rise
/ 10 number of questions which are of
the greatest importance and closely re-
| lated to the acts of the first conference
the plenipotentiaries of Russia, at the
future meeting, vii lay before the con-
ference a detailed program, which could
serve as a starting point for its delibera-
tions, the president finds it in conson-
lance with the indications of his circular
of October 2f, 1904, touching the ques-
tons to come before d second conference
| for discussion and the importance of
completing the work Of the first con-
ference By ample exchange of views, and,
lit is to be hoped, full concord upon the
broad questions especially relegated by
the final act Of The Hague to the con-
sideration of a future conference.

While the Rosemary Hall school was

used to bny their tennis shoes from a

through woods and fields, there was great
demand for that kind Of shoes.

went to buy more shoes, but were told
by the storekeeper that he didn't keep
that Kind any more. They asked him
why not and he replied

the most absurd accounts of the number
of eggs and amount milk consumed by

Of milk and six eggs cooked not too

coffee for tea, but the progress of the
