 MT. Bryan's Address.
 fika all travellers who have visited other lands I return with delight to the land of my birth, more proud of its people with more confidence in its government and grateful to the kind Providence that cast my lot in the United States My national pride has been increased because of the abund- ant evidence I have seen of the al- truistic interest taken by Americans in the people of other countries. No other nation can show such a record of benevolence and disinterested friend ship. My love for our government has been ouickened as I have visited cas- ties and towers, and peered into dark dungeons, and am glad that our nation. profiting by the experience ot the past and yet unhampered by tradt' tions and unfettered by caste, has been permitted to form anew center ot civilization on new soil and erect here < A government of the people, by the people and for the people. l return more deeply impressed than ever before with the responsibility which rest' upon our nation as an examplar among the nations and more solicitous that we, avoiding the causes which nave lee other nations to decay, may present higher ideal than has ever before beel embodied in a national life ana carr! human progress to higher plane than 1t has before reached
 I desire, moreover, to acknowledge indebtedness to the American otflelal who have everywhere shown us al possible courtesy and kindness.
 do not know that I can better shov my appreciation of the welcome ac corded me by countrymen than to sub init some suggestions drawn from ob servations during the past year. / Japanese educator, addressing m through an interpreter said; ! wis -- you would find the worst thing in Japal and tell us about it so that We ma correct it." I commended the gener- ous spirit which he manifested but as sured him that had not visited Japal in search of faults and blemlshes bu rather that might find the best thing in Japan and take them home for tn benefit of my own people. Each natio can give lessons to every other an while our nation is in position to mak the largest contribution as l believe to the education of the world it ough to remain in the attitude of q pupil an be ever ready to profit by the experi ence of others
 The first message that I bring fror the old world is a message of peace The cause of arbitration is making res progress in spite of the fact that tn nations most prominent in the es tablishment of The Hague tribuna have themselves been engaged in wal since that court was organized. The1 is a percepuole growth in sentiment flavor of the settlement of the inter national disputes by peaceful mean
