enlightenment is Indispensable every pro-
vision for world panel or court, or jury
must be adjusted 10 meet needs and diili-
culues which are peculiar 10 the present
problem. While many theorists and men of
one idea are speaking and writing with
enthusiasm on this colossal question there
are other men, in whom knowledge has
been Joined with sound experience. who are
slowly patiently and courageously working
out the plans by which real court OF ma
tions may he brought into operation. It
will be many years before the success Of
international peace is assured but 1t Is
something to live in year that is seeing
its start and greatest progress.
At the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church
DR.. John Henry Joweu referred to "the
appalling condition Of Tripoi to-day As
an example Of the curse of war, from
which the advocates of peace were trying
10 rid the world. Armament and the pre-

nations arc given at coronations and great
celebrations over leaders of science and
literature and art were denounced by Or.
Jowott. who pointed directly TO the trouble
between England and Germany.
There arc broodng iealousies," said Or.
Jowett. (which even at the best Of times

and unclcan passion. the bunting of dis
cernment and a perverted sense Of honor

GUS. All Of this can he seen at work i'm the
relations Of England and Germany At the

Look TO President Taft.
Meanwhile there is a bright Hight in
the troubled sky, and the fountain of that

From him have come proposals by which
the reign Of passion and the consequent
perils Of feverish judgment and precipi-
tate action will be greatly lessened The
PROPOSALS are concerned with the rcla-
tions Of the United States to Great Britain,
and they provide that all differences here
after between these nations which IT is
not possible to adjust by diplomacy and
which arc susceptible Of decision by the
application of the principles Of law and
equity shall he submitted TO a permanent
court of arbitration. These proposals
register a mighty step forward into the
light, and / am firmly convinced that II
they are approved I'm the ages 10 come thcS
will constitute no small part Of the ma
tional glory of this country

upon the problem of universal peace. The
action Of Russia i'm refusing TO honor pass
ports presented by Americans, thus break

the fact that treaties alone will not insure
,ucace among the nations.

ferred TO during the celebration Of the
