FOR WORLDS PEACE
INTER-PA UNION BE-
 GINS WORK.
0aIAp.te. Are Welcomed To Berlin By Prince Won Buelaw And Telegram Is Sent To The
 ErnmerOr.

Berlin. Sept, 17-The Inter-Parlia- pantarv Union met today in the cham her of the Reichstag to discuss 'Vnew the peace of the world and now 10 maintain it through arbitration.
 Frederick Passey who with Randolph creemer. of England, founded the Union, twenty years ago. sat on the platform next to the German Chancel- for. Prince Von Buelow. MT. Passey who is S6 years old, still has before his eyes the vision of legislation that shall represent the wisdom and beneVo- lence of the world.
 In addition to the Chancellor, nearly all the members of the Prussian ana Iuperial cabinets were in the minis terial seats, while behind them upon the platform David J. Hill. the Ameri- can Ambassador. and Nicholas Murray Butler President of Columbia Univer- sity were among the distinguished strangers.
 Herr Eckhoff. Chairman of the Ger man delegation called the meeting to order He proposed that Prince Heinrich schoenaich- -Caroiath be elect ed President. and this motion was car- ried unanimously.
 Prince Won Buelow made the well coming speech in behalf of the gov ernment He spoke in French and said that the delegates would find sym pathetic appreciation of their aims and Achievements in Germany and that the government was at one with them in the end for which they were striving The only difference of opinion was in regard to which road should be fol- lowed.
 we in Germany are taking a vital part in the consideration of the ques- tion which which you are occupied" :" said he. 'I allow myself to call to your attention that we proposed at the second Hague peace conference the prize court agreement and that we sup ported the plan for permanent court of arbitration and signed the protocol recommending this. Our cooperation is won in advance for all measures which, by unalterable laws. makes secure the rights of humanity"
 A love of peace, Prince Von Buelow said. did not signify lack of love for the Fatherland. True patriotism was the avoidance of conflict by resisting damaging. interruptions and unhealthy resentments which often merged into blind hatred and deceptive ambition.
 "Germany has been taught in the school of hard experience for three centuries. and she was and must be. strong enough to defend her territory,

her dignity and her importance" he continued. She has not misused her strength and would not do so. The German people long for peaca found ca on right and justice, and having Kept that peace for many years, they sire.
 T and all my countrymen." Pr;nce Von Buelow continued, unite Tn wish ing that your labors be fruitful for all peoples '''
 Representative Richard Bartboldt President of the American group of delegates. was selected one of the vice presidents of the union.
 The members of the union today sent a telegram to Emperor William in which they said: ''The 800 members or the er-Parliamentary Union per init themselves to offer to the empire their respectful homage and at the same time to thank your majesty for the energetic words uttered recently in favor of the maintenance in the future Of the peace of the world"
 Count Albert Apponyi, one of the Hungarian delegates, delivered an eulogy on Randolph Creener. after which the Congress passed a resolution recommending that the various dele gates designate committees to examine the questions to be deliberated at the third Hague peace conference. A re- cess until tomorrow was then taken.
