a big mass meeting was held under the
auspices of the Sunday Evening Club.
The congress will last for three days.
The, following is the text of letter
written by President Taft to Secre-
tary Royal L. Melendy of the National
Peace Congress, and which was read
a. the opening of that body today;
My Dear Sir.I greatly regret that
I am unable to attend the coming Ma
tional Peace Conference at Chicago and
there to express my earnest sympathy
with the object of the assembling of
so many distinguished men in the in
terest of world peace. That progress
has been made in the matter of peace
everywhere by international action and
by the pressure of the peoples of the
earth, anyone who has examined that
record must admit 1t is true that
ornaments go on increasing in cost.
but it Is also true that the burdens
presented by this competition in arlna-
ment are growing heavier and heavier,
and the problems for solution con-
sistent with their increase become more
and more difficult.
THE possibilities of war now arising
come chiefly from Responsibilities OF
government. and in those countries
where stability OF internal control is
lacking. The United States has con-
tributed to peace by assisting countries
weak in respect to their internal gov
eminent so as to strengthen in them
the cause of law and order. This re-
lation of guardian and ward between
nations and countries in my judgment
helps along the cause of international
peace and indicates progress in civili-
cation.
The policy of the United States in
avoiding war under all circumstances,
except those plainly inconsistent with
honor or its highest welfare, has been
made so clear to the world as hardly
to need statement at my hands, I can
only say that so far as my legitimate
influence extends, while at the head of
this government, it will always be eX-
erted in the full favor of peace. not
only as between this country and other
countries. but as between our sister
nations.
VERY sincerely yours.

somehow he would go through. Something

He fastened a pommcl thong about his body

the red stains on his coat and hands and stood
in his holster and pointed to the desk. Trem

in few minutes the correspondent saw the
first of his story flashed away to Toxic. Then
he took chair and sat down to watch the work.
Intent upon his business, the operator

and he meant to show them that he could
profit by their careless instruction. The fat,
stubby Manchu pony protested vigorously
at the grueling he gave it; but there was no
compassion in him for self or beast. His back
ached, his head swan, and there was pain
