sided. Mrs. Lucia Ames Mead of Boston,
spoke on Five Dangerous Fallacies," she
said In part
THE world surely will see during this
century an international police but rival
navies and armies are doomed. These
monstrous anachronisms of civilization
must be turned into beneficient- messengers
of commerce"
In explaining the attitude of business
men on this subject, Marcus NJ Marks,
Clothiers of New York, said
"The merchants of the world have done
much indirectly to bring about the i'm
proved relations between the various ma
tions. Let them now help finance the
peace movements and add unselfsh prac-
teal cooperation in great cause.
'The terrible power OF destruction now
possible through modern war agencies and
the still undeveloped air warships, force
upon all men the absurdity of settling in
ternational difficulties by mutual annihila-
ton.
''The idealists may at last be Joined by
hard headed men OF affairs whose daily
cry is for results. Business men all want
peace"

, ''The complexion of the American student
body is assuming an entirely new char
acter At the University of Wisconsin the
number of foreign students has risen from
seven in 1899 to ninety-siX in 1909. l believe
that we shall find partial solution of this
problem in the work of the association of
cosmopolitan clubs
This association is composed of inter
teen leading universities. We are affili-
ated with the Corda Fratres OF Europe.
We have national nights when students
from different nations describe the history
and institutions of their fatherlands The
day is not far distant when we shall have
branch societies in every civilized country
in the world. when student can travel to
what large university he will and yet be
sure of meeting sympathetic friends and Of
finding men filled with similar high ideals
of the brotherhood of man. 1t will swell
and strengthen the ever increasing ranks
OF those who are seeking to bring into
reality the millennium of Tennyson, when
The war drum throbs longer
And the battle flags are furled,
