THIRD PEACE CONGRESS
HAS Been Decided upon

The Hague, Sept. 21.-The sixth
plenary sitting of the peace conference
yesterday attracted an unusually large
audience. The members of the inter-
national chronological and dairy con-
crosses, which were meeting here were
present.
In the course of the discussion re-
garding the establishment of an inter-
national prize court, Senior Esteva, of
Mexico, announced that the Mexican
delegation would now vote in favor of
the proposition, as the MODIFICATION
permitting a country interested in a
case to have its own judge on the tri-
ounal largely does away with the OBJ
Jectlonable features of the earlier prop
osltlon, which, he said, contravened
the principle of the equality of ma
IONS. Senior Esteva added that while
Mexico would support the proposition
10 establish prize court, she did not
withdraw her opinion, repeatedly ex-
pressed, against the project to estab-
nSn an International court of perma
nent arbitration, if based on principle
contrary to the equality of the states.
Inc proposition to establish an in
'ernatlonal prize court was ultimately
approved, Brazil alone casting vote
against it. Russia, Japan, Siam,

The prevailing opinion. as expressed

N tbe lack of preparation by all the

ra. especially striking in the case of
the American delegation, which was
snnnosed to have come here in CON-
nIpte accord with the Latin American
countries
This accord, however. neither exist
ID nor had it been reached during
the conference. Indeed, what is to be
dreaded, he declared. is that the chief
result of the conference will be grow

ruse the United States OF having neg

working in accord with Great Britain
and Germany, thinking that union
with these powers would be sufficient
to carry out any project, while the
facts proved to the contrary, as in the
case of the permanent court OF arbi-
tratiOn, which was victory for Bra
iii over the compact formed between
America, Great Britain and Germany.
1t is generally remarked that the
United States should have come to the
defense with the certainty of having
the support of all the Latin American
countries.

Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1907-11-15

During the last quarter of century
there has been the greatest activity in
archaeological research which received
an extraordinary impetus from DR..
Schiemann's discoveries. Nor has the
interest aroused been confined to eX-
perts. Though the people generally have
paid little attention to methods and de-
tails, they have been glad to learn of
the results and have applauded the
scholarship and the industry that have
brought them about. They have rec
ognized, too, that in addition to schol-
arship and industry money was neces-
sary for unraveling the mysteries OF
buried cities but the suggestion that
furnishing the money provides a most
attractive career for rich young men
was reserved for Prof. George y. Oh
colt, of Columbia University. He
grows eloquent over the thought. What,
he asks, have the gayeties Of society,
what has fishing or hunting, golfing or
automobiling to offer comparable to the
keen excitement of watching and direct
ing hundred workers as they lay bare
an ancient city which human eyes have
not seen in two millenniums? AS for
the opportunities to make important
discoveries. he shows that they still
abound There are chances upon
chances i'll Southern Europe, and Asia
is a specially inviting field. Ameri-
cans can work there on the same terms
as Europeans. They will not be at
disadvantage, as they might be in Eu-
rope, with the competition of the ma
tiveS; they will have oriental strange
ness to lure them on and the spice of
adventure. Many an ancient Asiatic
city is awaiting the golden touch that
will unlock the door Of hidden wonders,
and would mean that American wealth
might give the means and American
scholarship reap the glory" AS we
read of the enormous waste of time
and money by young men of wealth, or
become cognizant Of it in other ways, it
seems as if such an appeal should have
some effect. There is an opportunity to
promote highly valuable work for all
mankind to lead a useful life, to awak
en- q new interest in life, to share in
the scholars glory. The rich young
men should think it over.
