~, might be the peacemaker of the

THAT statement is one OF the

wish he would go TO our mills at
Pittshurg and ask the thousands OF

'Thezo has been all sorts of talk
about armament. I have heard
it III country in Europe and
have ne 10 hate it as the devil
hate holy water No government in
The world IS going to propose any
such thing Al The Hague conference
or anywhere else What probably Will
he preached Is Il halt in this mad
haste to increase armaments and still
again Increase them in a nonsenslcai
degree.

'hll wish To say is that We are
drawins arguments from unexpected
sources I have often heard that
there 5honld be universal peace be-
cause man was made in the image Of
Gcd but this Is the first time | have
heard - argued that peace should re-
salt from his being made in the i'm
age Of an ape"
New York, April ) In a letter 10
Andrew Carnegie. which was read ut
The peace conference. President
Roosevelt said:
Our representatives. will go to the
second peace conference at The
Hague instructed TO help i'll every
practicable way 10 bring some steps
. nearer completion, the great work
which The first conference began. II
is idle TO expect that a task SO ire
nendous can be settled by one or two
conferences 1t is possible that
: the conference can go only short
distance further in the right dlrec-
ton. Yet | believe it can make real
progress on the road toward inter-
national Justice, peace and fair deal
ing.
One Of the questions, although to
NV mind not one of the greatest I'M
portan.e. will be that of the limita-
ton of ornaments. The United
states has regular army so small as
10 be infinitely small when compared
to that Of any other first class power.
