ALL ID BE THERE
UNITED STATES TO ISSUE CALL FOR UNIVERSAL consER-
 NATION CONFERENCE.
BE HELD AT HE HAGUE IN SEPTEMBER
The international Gathering Will Be Called at the Suggestion of Dele gates to North American Conference --It Is Hoped That 45 Nations Will Confer-This Nation to Lead.

Washington, Feb. 21.--So thorough ly impressed Is President Roosevelt with the necessity of conservation of the natural resources of tae world that he has directed Secretary of State Bacon, at the suggestion of the North American Conservation confer ence in session here to extead a for participate in an international confer. ence to deal with this important prob lem to be held at The Hague next September.
 The announcement of the proposed international gathering was made by President Roosevelt following lunch. con which he Friday gave in honor of the commissioners from this coun. try, Canada and Mexico, who are in attendance upon the North American conservation congress. In addition Ambassador Bryce of Great Britain, Senator Knox and others were pres ent. Senator Knox, who is to be sec retary of state in MT. Taits cabinet, is in hearty sympathy with the idea of worlds conference.
 All of the 45 nations represented at The Hague peace conference will be invited to participate.
 In an official statement g: out at the White Ho1se Friday n.ght 1t was announced that the conference dele gates representing the United States, Mexico and Canada upon having ex. changed views and considered the in formation supplied from their respect. i've countries, is convinced of the i'm portance of the movement for the conservation of natural resources on the continent of North America and believes that it is of such a nature and of such general oitance, that it should become worldwide in It's scope, and therefore suggested to the president that all nations should be invited to join in a conference on the subject of world resources and their inventory, conservation and wise utili. zation. Anticipating the interest which would naturally be aroused in other countries by the present conference, the president himself saw the prob ability that it would be a percursor of world conference. By an aide memoire of the sixth of January last the principal governments were infor mally sounded to ascertain whether they would look with favor upon an invitation to send delegates to such a conference. The responses have SC far been uniformly favorable.
 It is believed that all nations in vited will accept the invitation with the same degree of cordiality with which Canada and Mexico accepted the invitation to participate in the North American conference. It wal learned Friday that at least two for eign powers felt keenly disappointed because they were not invited tc meet with the North American con ference and they have suggested the advisability of an international con ference through correspondence and through their diplomatic representa- tives.
 Inasmuch as the initial movement has been taken by President Roose welt, the engineering of the matter will be left to this government.

Washineton's Greatness.

After mentioning the great good in actual results, accomplished by many technical professions, Judge Taft con sidered in extent the profession of the law, which, he said. lis in a wide sense the profession of government
 He saLd that lawyers often were se- lected to carry on governmental work, because the executive faculty was a very marked attribute of the modern lawyer. While he realized that there were defects and weaknesses in the profession of the law, he regarded It as the most important in its relation to political government. In conclu- sion he said. National exigency seems to call forth the men peculiarly fitted to meet the requirements of the situation. Such were Lincoln and Grant during the great civil war. Such was Washington in the revolution, the anniversary of whose birthday this university appropriately makes Its Com mencement Day. He was not a law yer or a doctor, or minister. He was a leader of men. His pure. disinterest ed patriotism. his freedom from small jealousies, his marvellous common sense, his indomitable perseverance and patience, and his serenity and calm under the most trying circum stances. gave him the victory--a vic tory which could be traced not to bril- liant genius or professional training but to that which, of all things, is the most to be pursued and desired-tc his high character as man."
