Distinguished Diplomats and Statesmen, Gather to
Discuss Disarmament and Worldwide
Arbitration.

Chicago.-Every civilized country on
the globe was represented In the sec.
ond National Peace Congress, which
began here Monday. The gathering
was the greatest of its kind ever held
in America, and brought to Chicago
some $4,000 persons who are jealous
workers in the cause of worldwide
peace. Among these were eminent
statesmen and diplomats of this and
other nations. Unfortunately, official
duties prevented both President Taft,
the honorary president, and Secretary
Of Val Dickinson, the president of the
congress, from being present.
On Sunday there were special serv-
ices in most of the Chicago churches,
peace meetings under the auspices of
socialist and labor organizations, and
a large mass meeting which was ad-
dressed by President Schurman of
Cornell university, Rev. Jenkins Lloyd
Jones and DR.. Emil @. Hirsch of Chi
cago.

limit Monday when the first session
was called to order by Robert Treat
Paine Of Boston, the presiding officer,

clubs had been asked to appoint dele

weeks ago before the Hamilton club,

formally welcomed by Gov. Charles s..
Deneen for the state, Mayor Fred A.
Busse for the city and Rev. A. Eugene
Bartlett, chairman of the reception
committee. The secretary then read a
brief letter from President Taft, in
which the chief executive heartily
commended the aims of the congress.
