1t was very rainy day-one of those
days when the rain comes down with
no effort whatever, as if from long and

remembering the strengthening words

The lady who waited on Spriggs, the

tossed it upon a plate which she
caused to slide about seven feet along
the counter and pause at the proper
place. 1t was neatly done, and per-

afternoon, and the chairman William

siasm by an eloquent and spirited ad

followed by an address by DR.. Benja-
min F. Trueblood, secretary of the
American Peace Society, on "The Pres
ent Position of the Peace Movement"
What Has. Been Accomplished.
DR.. Trueblood said in part:
Let me sketch in the barest out
lines what has already been accom-
plished. The Interpretation will take
care of itself.
Il. The men and women, now a
great host, who believe that the day
is past when blind brute force should
direct the policies of nations and pre-
side at the settlement of their diff
ferences, are now thoroughly organ
lied A hundred years ago there was
not a society in existence organized
to promote appeal to the forum of
reason and right in the adjustment of
international controversies. To-day
there are more than 500, nearly
every important nation having
its group of peace organizations. Their
constituents are numbered by tens of
thousands, from every rank and class
in -philanthropists. men of
trade and commerce, educators and
jurists, workingmen, statesmen, rulers
even.
1.-THE organized peace party has its
international Peace bureau at Berne,
Switzerland, binding all its sections
into one world body. 1t has its Inter
national Peace congress which has
held II meetings in 20 years-con-
crosses over which statesmen now feel
1t an honor to preside and which are
welcomed by kings and presidents
with warmth of interest and gen.
erousness of hospitality scarcely ac-
corded to any other organizations. 1t
has it's great national congresses in
many countries, like this present one,
and that In Carnegie hall, New York,
two years ago; and its special confer
ence like that at Mohonk lake. 1t has
its unsurpassed banquets and festi-
walls, like that given to the Seven
teenth International Peace congress
by the British government in London
last July, and those recently given by
the Peace society of the city of New
York.
Triumph Of Arbitration.
III. The position which the peace
movement has reached is no less dis
tinctly determined by the practical at
tainments of arbitration. We are, this
year celebrating what is really the
one hundredth, anniversary of the birth
of our movement, for 1t was in 1909
that David L. Dodge, Christian mer-
chant of New York city, wrote the
pamphlet which brought the move

wouldn't it be rather nice" said
Mrs. Dimpleton, ito have fire in the
fire-place?"
First rate" replied Dimpleton.
"I'll go down and get some wood"
He descended into the cellar, and
in a moment returned with his arms
full. He got a newspaper and pro-
ceeded to make up the fire.
Are you sure that will burn?'
asked Mrs. Dimpleton, who was
watching him.
"Of course it will burn. If there's
one thing | can do, it is to make a
fire. Match"
Better not put so much wood on.
You have too much. 1t won't light"
"Ha! Perhaps you know it all.
Well see."
He got match from the neighbor-
ing table, struck it, and applied it
to the end of the paper. The paper
fiared up, few desultory flames
licked their way around the wood, died

GREAT CONGRESS OF PEACE
WORKERS HELD In CHICAGO
Thousands of the Opponents of Warfare Including Many
Distinguished Diplomats and Statesmen, Gather to
Discuss Disarmament and Worldwide
Arbitration.

Il Chicago Every civilized country on
che globe was represented in the Sec
nd Nationa& Peace Congress, which
began here Monday. The gathering
was the greatest of it's kind ever held
Nm America and brought to Chicago
Nome $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 War Dickinson, the president of the
3congress. from being present.
On Sunday there were special serv-
tees In most of the Chicago churches,
peace meetings under the auspices of
socialist and labor organizations, and
large mass meeting which was ad-
dressed by President Schurman of
Cornell university, Rev. Jenkins Lloyd
Jones and DR.. Emil G. Hirsch of Chi
cago.
Welcome to the Congress.
Orchestra hall was filled to the
AAhiit 4uOhudy WHICH, tuc uISI oSSSlOu
was called to order by Robert Treat
Paine of Boston, the presiding officer,
for governors, mayors and hundreds of
clubs had been asked to appoint dele
gates, and most of them had re-
sponded. President Dickinson's ad-
dress, the same he delivered several
weeks ago before the Hamilton club,
was read, and the congress was then
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.
Miss Anna B. Eckstein of Boston
next was introduced to the meeting
and read World Petition to the
Third Hague Conference" This was
