 New York, April 15.--At the peace meeting at Carnegie hall tflis evening Professor Hugo Munsterberg, who holds the chair of philosophy at liar yard university, called down upon his head the criticisms of Andrew Carne- gie by stating that conscriptlon was not looked upon as hardship in Ger- many. The professor used the argu- ment to impress the point he was dwelling on-that universal peace should be looked upon, not as a ma- terial, but as moral, matter.
 MT. Carnegie, in replying, called at tention to the, thousands of people who came to America to escape military service. and said that no one could make him believe that it was not this burden that caused by far the greater part of German emigration.
 The appearance of William J. Bryan, on the platform was a signal for loud calls for him, and he was forced to re- spond briefly to the demand for a speech.
 Baron D'Esteprnelles De Constant spoke as 8 representative of the French people, Germany was represented by Professor Munsterberg and Dr. Rich ard, Marten Martens spoke for Hol-l land, Sir Robert Ball and w. T. Stead for England, Sir Robert Cranston for Scotland, and Secretary Straus for America.
 Warned by President Roosevelt and Secretary of State Elihu Root that if success is to crown the efforts of those who are working for peace among the nations of the world their endeavors must be along practical lines; that they must not, by insisting upon the impos- sible, put off the day when the pos- sible can be accomplished, the nation al arbitration and peace conference, which is meeting in this city under the presidency of Andrew Carnegie, be- gan to-day it's real activities with two crowded sessions in Carnegie hall.
 Secretary Root warned his hearers not to expect too much at the second Hague conference. The president, in a letter to the congress, expressed the IGlope that the coming conference might result in the adoption of an interna- tional arbitration treaty. Secretary Root, after seconding this hope, declar- ed the United States thought it proper to urge again the discussion of the subject of the limitation of armament of the nations on land and sea, and the abolition of the practice of using force in the collection of debts owed by one nation to the citizens of an- other.
 MT. Carnegie, in an address to the congress, paid tribute to President Roosevelt and expressed the wish that | it might be possible that MT. Roose- welt should be the peacemaker of the future. He declared, however, that Emperor William is the man, among all men, who holds the peace of the na- tions in his power. In this connection Mr Carnegie said it was unjust to speak of the emperor as a menace to the peace of Europe, adding that in twenty years upon the throne the Ger man ruler had split no blood nor caus- ed an international war.
 At the afternoon session to-day the speakers were Secretary Root, Cow ernor Charles E, Hughes, of New York state; Mayor George B. McClel- Ian, of New York city, and Mr. Car negie. It was at the afternoon session also that the letter from President Roosevelt was presented and read.
 Tonight the speakers included Bar on D'Estournelles De Constant, mem Der of the French senate and head of the international conclliation commit tee, whose subject was With Ameri- can Help and Secretary Oscar s. straus, of the department of com merce and labor. who spoke upon the topic of "The Peace of Nations and Peace Within Natons"
 Baron Constant began his address in French, but soon changed to Eng lial. He said, in part:
 If The Hague conference practically generalizes arbitration, advises lemit- ation of armaments and paves the way for international conciliation, it's work will be a progress as well as the work of the first conference.
 This progress will be contested pre- cisely by the same men who try to op- pose it, but it will be a fact; and, not speaking of England and France, and of many other countries, when re- member all what has been done here
