Peace Conference Aired
At University Banquet


A noted assembly gathered in the red
room OF the New Willard Hotel last
night at a banquet given under the
auspices Of the George Washington
University to Prof. James Brown Scott
in recognition of his distinguished ser
vices as technical delegate Of the United
States TO the second peace conference
of the Central American republics.
Commissioner Henry b. T. Macfarland
acted as toastmaster.
In his Introductory remarks the Dis
trIct Commissioner complimented Prof.
scott on the work he had done and add
cd that he was proud that university
in Washington could be represented at
50 important conference by such a
man as Mr.. Scott Mr.. Macfarland
proposed a toast TO President Roose-
welt before calling upon Prof Scott.
Purpose of Conference.
The guest of honor told of the pur-
pose Of the conference just ended and
gave it as his belief that in view Of me
success which attended the one just
closed that another would be held with
even more far-reaching results some
time IN the near future he spoke OF
the many difficulties which were over
come and Of the generosity shown by
tie delegates from each or the repub-
lies represented when It came to ac-
ceding to certain points in the nine
treaties which were signed He also
expressed the hope that each country
would raufy the treaties made.
Mr.. Scott said, IN part:
ii II.
brought about the most successful peace
conference just concluded IL appears
that il was initiated by President
Roosevelt. although the idea OF a con-
ference as an international institution
Is due 10 tho Gar of Russia. II is.
therefore. nor too much 20 say that the
United States and Russia were Jointly
interested In the conference in a pc
culiar way beyond all others. and in The
success OF the conference they undoCf =
edly have just cause for satisfaction.
Harmonize Views.
The purpose OF a conference Is to
reconcile divergent views and. by con-
CiliatiOn and renun-dation, II necessary,
20 produce substantial agreement This
often Means that progressive measures
are discarded for more moderate for
muiae. just as the advance guard Of an
army halts that the laggard may catch
up; FOR the purpose IS not to secure
the assent or the few, but 10 bind the
many and Il is better 10 make haste
slowly than by an excessive zeal 10
mske no progress. The result OF a con-
ference. therefore. is often strangely at
variance with the program.
While recognizing the possibility OF
war. the conference set itself seriously
TO devise measures whereby interna-
uOnal difficulties might be settled be-
fore nations would rush into war led
astray by passion or temporary inter
est, or drift slowly but surely into a
state OF actual nistility."
Prof. Scott then SPOKE Of the inegtI-
mable value OF the work accomplished
by the conference. and the advisabiIity

you and for these who respect your
mission, to create IN the minds and
hearts OF the people of Central Amer
lea a determination that the wise con-
clusions you have reached shall be car
ried out for the peace and prosperity OF
Central America"
If this were done. the Secretary as
sured the delegates amid cheers, moth
ing could prevent the onward march of
the Latin republics toward the goal at
tained by the sister republics Of Mex
leo and the United States. In all their
endeavors he assured them Of the as
sistanCe of these two nations.
Creel Pictures Prosperity.
The sentiment contained in the Secre-
tary's speech was echoed by Ambassa-
dor Creel. who expressed the hope that
In view Of this conference the people Of
Central America would now begin to
eXpend for railroads and other improve
ments the money formerly used in war
fare. Railroads. the ambassador said,
he regarded as the most potent factor
in civilization He complimented Andrew
Carnegie and Secretary Root for the
work they had accomplished along the
promotion Of peace, and at his sugges-
ton a toast was offered the two dis
tinguished guests.
Vice President Fairbanks referred. In
opening. 20 the era Of peace he believed
to be dawning. and spoke by way Of
comparison Of the Portsmouth confer
ence, and that at The Hague. ''The
Hague did not accomplish all that we
hoped. but IT accomplished much. but 1t
has been left 10 you TO accomplish
more than the conference at The
Hague" said Mr.. Fairbanks.
What you have done Is ar indlca-
tIon OF the coming peace and prosperity
among Central American states and II
is an example before the world. 1t is
evidence OF the fact that evolution is
more potent than revolution"

HEBREWS QUIT CUSTOMS
IN OPENING PARIS TEMPLE

PARIS. Dec. IA remarkable and
unique Israelite ceremony has been car
RED out in Paris at the Sunday open
ing Of the Temple or the Israehte LIB
eral Union in the Rue Copernic. The
event was all the more notable since
sunday ceremonies among European
Hebrews are very rare. All the notabili-
ties OF Judaism IN Paris gathered 10
support Rabbi Louis G. Levi. the found
c. Of the Liberal Union.
The musical part Of the ceremony was
supplied by choirs OF young girls. who
sang hymns and psalms, accompanied
by harps and other stringed instruments.
Another innovation was that the pray
ers were recited in French. instead Of
Hebrew.

OF a third one, which, Ee Eslid. must de-
pend upon the positive results Of the
second and the probability Of further
progress IN the third. Mr.. Scott empna-
sized the fact that the conferences
which have been held have been neld
for the furtherance Of peace. and said
that unless the republics adhere TO the
articles OF their agreements the meet
ings have been failures.
In conclusion. Prof. Scott said:
I'VE ar prepared to answer the ques-
ton whether the second international
peace conference was Ia reality "a peace
conference. and whether II deserves a
successor. It was international because
the nations Of the world were repre-
sented. The first conference invited
but a fraction Of the worlds sovereign
ties; the present conference invited
forty-six na.ions, and forty-fOur at
tended. It was a peace conference be-
cause It's great measures sought, Dy
preventing a recourse 70 aims, not Onlt
TO preserve, but 20 establish peace.
81 submit, therefore, that the second
International peace conference Justihed
not only its name, but its calling; That
IL was worthy Of It's great predecessor, ,
that its meeting has benefited the world
and given mankind a hope for the fu-
ture. and that therefore. 1t deserves a
successor"
President Needhanl, Of George Wash
ingtOn, followed Prof. Scott with a
brief address. He COM 'lmented Mr..
Scott on his work and expressed the
desire that he be chosen by the United
States to represent this country at the
next conference, IL such a meeting
should be called.
The other speakers OF the evening
were. Ambassador James Bryce, Of
Great Britain; DR.. r. S. Woodward,
president Of the Carnegie Institute;
Senator Flint OF California; Judge Nor
row, Of the circuit court Of appeals Of
California. and Bishop O'COnnen, OF the
Catholic University.
