CHICAGO, April 9.-Secretary of
War Dickinson, responding to the
toast, "The Progress of Peace" at a
banquet given by the Hamilton club
in this city tonight called attention to
the fact that mankind was always
hoping for the fulfillment of the
prophecy that strong nations Shall
beat their swords into plowshares,
and their spears into pruning hooks,
nation shall not lift up sword against
nation, neither shall they learn war
any more. He said that the time
was not far distant but there has
been such development and strength
ening of the forces that make for
peace that its advocates are boldly
aggressive, knowing that they haze
the potentiality that comes from the
quckened, universal conscience of an
enlightened age The present
status, in the progress of peace. he
said, is the product Of centuries. In
ternatlonal arbitration, which enter
ed upon a new era about 1915, he
said, has SO progressed in our time
that no one can doubt that it is the
most powerful force now working
upon the nations for the temporal
happiness of mankind. International
arbitration, as we know it, is no more
the product of the last hundred years
than was the federal constitution in
1888 a product of that era. 1t is the
flower of our time"
Secretary Dickinson cited various
steps in the progress of arbitration
and said "the formation of our fed
eral constitution, creating for the
first time a court with full and final
power to settle all controversies be-
tween sovereign states, was the great
est step ever taken toward substitu-
ton of judicial procedure for appeal
to arms" Three separate boards of
arbitration were created under the
Jay treaty of 1894, he said, which
contained provisions for adjusting by
arbitration three questions which
threatened to involve us in war with
Great Britain. A general reaction
prevailed in all civilized countries
after the overthrow of Napoleon
against barbarous methods of settling
disputes. peace IDEAS" he said
were fostered and promoted in ever.
way. Peace societies and peace con
crosses constantly stirred the con
seience of the world"
Speaking of the various treatie
made by the United States declaring
this country in favor of arbitabl
settlement of International disputes
he said that the treaty Of 1S4S be
tween the United States and Mexic
provided that the two nations woul
in the future adjust their disagree
ments by pacific negotiations and b
arbitration. The senate committee o
foreign relations in a resolution re
ported to the senate in 1851 declare
that it was desirable to secure |
treaties a provision for arbitration

Adams assured Lord Russell that
there was mo fair and equitable form
of conventional arbitrament' to which
America would be willing to submit
The secretary of war said that Lord

not be disgraced forever If foreign

whether an English secretary of state

that he would be assuming a great re-

so as an arbitrator representing his
own country, but as representing all
nations.
"These long painful but successful
negotiations, continued the war Sec

of both nations to use every effort to

Taking up the declarations that
had been made that certain questions
cannot be settled by arbitration, he
said: Although it has often been
said that questions of national honor
cannot be submitted to arbitration,

some degree shadowy, and that many
