UNIVERSAL PEACE
SUBJECT Of TALK
Patriotic Program in Honor of
George Washington Given
at University.

The annual patriotic program IN honor
or the birth of George Washington, given
at the University Of Utah yesterday fore
noon, was the most elaborate Of the many
programs that have been previously given
at that institution. The musical numbers
were espe ciaSy appropriate and pleasing,
and the address of the day. given by Pro-
lessor n, I. Porter, was perhaps the best
one ever heard at the university IN com
memoTaton OF the great general and
statesman.
The program was opened with a seIeo-
uOn by the university choir, and Rev.
Louis ), Bowerman pronounced the invO-
cation, The violin selections Of Willard
e. Wethe were magnlficenty rendered,
and the hearty applause which followed
compelled the violinist to respond several
times.
The address OF Professor Porter was -
principal feature Of the day. He spoke
upon Universal Peace" In the course Of
his remarks he said: I'VE all know George
Washington as the general and states
man, but perhaps few Of US realize that
ne was the greatest advocate for peace
that ever lived. As soon as the war for
Independence was over Washington came
TO the front as an advocate for peace, not
only TO the colonies Of which he had been
elected President, but peace 10 the world
at large. Although he is not generally
given the honor, IL was through his eff
forts that The Hague tribunal was
formed and through which today we have
been relieved of so much bloodshed.
In times past, the navies and armies
OF the world were designed principally for
the protection of a country against the
attacks Of a foe. Today the armies and
navies are intended mainly for the pro-
lection Of industry and commerce"
At the completion Of the address. Mrs.
Fred G. Clarke Of ogden rendered several
vocal solos.
The program over, papers were passed
about the room upon which all those be-
heving that all matters Of difference be-
tween governments should be left to The
Hague tribunal were asked TO sign. The
papers, containing several hundred names
were collected and will be sent to the
National Peace convention as an express
sion Of the sentiments Of the people OF
Utah.

UNFAVORABLE REPLY
