BURDENS TO NATIONS
Wants General Treaties of Arbi-
tration Negotiated Between
All Nations Referring to
Hague All DIf-
fiCultleS.

Lake Mohonk, n. Y, May 2f.-Re-
lterating the declaration of the Brit
ish foreign secretary that the increas-
ed armaments of the nations which
prompted the call of the first Hague
conference had become a satire upon
civilization, the Lake Mohonk con-
ference on international arbitration
today unanimously adopted the fol-
lowing platform at it's fifteenth an
nual conference.
The fifteenth annual Lake Mo-
honk conference on International ar
oitraton meeting on the tenth ami
Versary of the opening of the first
Hague conference reviews with pro-
round satisfaction the signal advance
of the cause of International Justice
during the decade. a program unex-
ampled In any previous meeting in
history. The memorial achievements
OF this period are at once an inspira-
tion and an imperative call to re-
newed efforts
1--WE urge upon our government
which has been so conspicuously and
so honorably identified with the pro-
grtssive policies with Hague prompt
acton toward perfecting the import
ant measures there inaugurated and
the complete development OF the sys-
tenn of arbitration. We especially
urge its early initiative on the estab-
lishment of the International court OF
arbitrai justice
I'VE further urge the negotiation of
general treaty of arbitration be-
tween al; nations and look forward
with Increasing hope to the day when
treaties of arbitration shall provide
for the reference to the Hague OF all
international differences not settled
by regular diplomatic negotiations.
"The clear logic of the Hague con-
centions prescribes the Limitation and
gradual reduction of machinery of
war by the nations parties TO these
conventions prior to the development
Of the instrumentalities of law and
justice for the settlement of interna-
tipDal differences
'The great armaments of the ma
tons whose intolerable burdens
prompted the call to the first Hague
conference have during the decade
increased so portentiously as to have
nov become, as recently declared, by
the fcregn secretary a satire upon civ
i'izaiion. They fill the world with an
n
mospher is unfavorable to the sys-
tenn of arbitration and their drain
upon the resources of the people has
become so exhausing as TO menace all
national treasures and dsastrously
check the social advances which the
interests Of humanity demand.
1T is the opinion of this conference
that the time has arrived for carry
ing into effect the strongly expressed
desire of the two peace conferences
at the Hague that governments ex-
anime the possibility of agreement
as to the limitation of armed forces
by land and sea and of war budgets
and addresses that the service to the
serious handling of this serious ques-
ton.
Accordingly, we ask our govern
ment to consider whether the pc
culiar position which il occupies
among the nations does not afford il
special opportunity TO lead the way
toward making these welghty deela-
rations basis Of public and cencert-
ed action" ="

During the last two session OF the

From the Investigations SO fe-

just where the bulk of the losses will

been squandered.

Wilbur Wright, standing with leT"'

his gaze in effort TO catch sight of
the areoplane when it should rise
again above the, skyline. Secords
seemed minutes, and as the inter-
vale became seemingly alarming,
great beads of sweat stood uInn his
brow. and his agitation was evident.
Suddenly the speck came in sight
over the di.'ant hill. A cry swept
over the watching crowd.
There it is" everybody said. ard
gave sigh of relief.
On it came, growing with the sec-
onds. 1t grew and grew, until at
last almost every detail was VISIBLE.
Before you knew it, they were home
again over the drill ground, tiyirg
low. At height of perhaps twenty
feet it swung round again to the
southwark. and landed easily far
down the field. The task was done.
and in triumph.
