MEN AND THINGS.

by diplomatic negotiations settle the
question Of these judgeshfps in the near
future.
These are the questions relating 20
arbitration and 70 the peaceful settle
ment OF international difference; but a
great deal has also been accomplished
in other directions. especially in we'll
meant efforts 10 make future war more
humane. II would take up too much OF
your time TO specify the more than thirty
conventions concluded at The Hague. and
as a great step forward I VIII mention
only the one which provides that no IN
fortified cities. towns. and villages shall
ever be bonbarded by an enemy, which.
in my humble judgment makes the for
tificatiOn Of coast lines almost unneces-
sary. L means that by foTtifying they
would Cnly invite the FIRE OF the enemy.
while they would be left perfectly safe
and immune II they remained unfortifed.
Very few have an adequate idea OF
the intricaCies OF the questions which
were discussed ar The Hague and while
some people wondered why the confer
ence should last so long. il is the greater
wonder that il accomplished so much IN
50 little time. There were fOrty-six na-
tions represented. each with its peculiar
interests and claims. and in my judg-
ment It is due only TO the growing senti-
ment OF the people In favor Of arbitration
and peace which made agreement possible
