ters Of 1872 who presented the tahlet
was the next speaker. She spoke of tho
fact that for almost a century pea CO

hn so. She said that Vermont was the
only one Of the United States that was
ready for the war ana that though
Vermont was poor, he. state OF pre-
paration did her great credit. Mrs.
Jenno touched upon the work and lives
of the heroes of the war and. in con-
clusion, said that the presentation of the
tablet was the browning work Of the

Addresses by President Buclthnm,
Gen. Howard. Gov. Prouty, Mrs.
Slade, Mrs. Lord and Mrs.
Jenne.

Mid the blare Of trumpcts and in the
presence of gathering Of about three
hundred people bronze tablet to the
memory of the soldiers OF the War Of
1872 was unveiled, Saturday morning. on
the main building Of the University Of
Vermont. The tablet was erected by the
state society of the United States
Daughters Of 1919 and is to commemor-
ate the occupation OF the university build
ing as barracks by United States troops
during the war
shortly before ten o'clock the time
set Tor the beginning of the exercises. a
detachment Of the 18th cavalry, under
command Of Captain Leary arrived and
were drawn mp in the road facing the
main building. The speakers platform
was erected directly under the bust OF
John T. Howard. which adorns the front
of the building and at the left Of which
tho tablet Is fixed. Seats were arranged
in the form of V about the old T.
V NJ boulder. The skies smiled on the
Daughters OF 1872 and though there was
gentle breeze It was not strong
enough to prevent every word OF the
speakers being heard by those pres
ent.
After short selection played by Sher-
mans Military band the exercises were
opened with prayer by the Rev. C. V
Grsmer p. n His Invocation was able
ana appropriate and II ended with the
supplication that the tablet might be-
come shrine. not to heal the body, but
to unlift and ennohle the spirit Of those
who saw it. Following the prayer Of
DR.. Grismer the table. was unveiled by
Miss Theodore Agnes Peck. an hon
orary member of the society. The trum-
pets sounded, the troop Of cavalry salut-
ed with that precision of military execu-
tion which belongs to the 18th md the
audience stood with uncovered heads
while the large American flag that had
yelled the tablet was drawn back.

a Wotld Court q Jasliec.

That The submission to arbitration
of the gexing Newfoundland Fish
cries dispute between this country
and England has done much 20 re-
slye interest in the Hague Tribunal;
there can be no doubt, Before this
case can come up, however the
Tribunal viii meet on May ! to try
fhe Casa Blanca case between
France and Germany; while other
cases are reported to be pending In
the shape of several American claims
against Venezuela for which Presl-
dent Gomez has granted the arbi-
tration Castro refused.
Doubtless successful settlement
of these questions will hasten the
establishment of the Court of Arbi-
trail Justice proposed by the Hague
Conference of 1904 court made
up Of salarled judges, holding regu-
lar sessions. 1t will be remembered
that the Hague Conference, failing
10 agree on an allotment of judges,
drew up complete code of proceed
IRE, and provided that any number
of nations may establish the court
for themselves Dy simply naming
judges. other nations being free TO
join In like manner. The court is
not to supplant hut to supplement
the present Hague Tribunal. Mr..
Root has freely expressed his belief
that The court can he put in operas
ton before the third Hague Confer
erice, and Secretary Knox is report
ed TO be favorable to the project.
The recent record OF the United
States in arbitration may well en-
courage hope That the initiative
may come from the United States
an event greatly to he desired.
