Reception Given by Federatonists to Notable Com
pany-Officers Will Be Elected To-day-Ad-
dress by Ambassador Bryce Tonight

Octagon House, famous as the tempo
rary White House in the days following
the British occupation Of Washington
and later the residence Of William Ogle
Tayloe, was the scene of the reception
last night by the American Federation
ot Arts. the American Institute Of Archi-
tects, the Archaeological Institute OF
America. and the American Academy in
Rome to the visiting delegates Of the
second annual convention Of the Ameri-
can Federation Of Arts.
From until II o'clock the visiting del.
egates were made welcome by the resi-
dent federationists Of Washington. The
American Beauty roses and syringa. The
spacious old-fashioned garden in the rear
was Illuminated, and the throng OF
guests circulated informally over the
place.
The reception committee included
President Charles H. Hutchinson, Miss
Leila Mechlin, F. D. Millet. Marvin F.
Scaife. Glenn Brown. chairman Of the
convention committee; A. ]. Parsons,
Walker, Mr.. and Mrs. Mitchell Carroll.
DIR. Joseph H. Hoppin. Mrs. r. S. Wood
ward, and Mrs. Martin A. Knapp.
Preceding the reception the hemicycle
Of the Corcoran Gallery Of Art had been
thrown open for the inspection by the
delegates Of the assembled exhibitions Of
the travelling display of the National
Sculpture Society and the National So
ciety Of Mural Painters.
Spseches in Afternoon.
Five prominent speakers addressed the
afternoon session in the red parlor Of the
New Willard. They were dorado Taft,
the noted sculptor; John w. Alexander.
president of the National Academy Of
Design: C. Grant La Fargo. former presi-
dent of the Architectural League Of
New York; Huger Elliott, director of the
Rhode Island Academy of Design, and
George Pierce Baker. professor Of dra-
matte literature at Harvard University.
dorado Taft's lecture was beautifully
illustrated with stereopticon views. His
subject, the relation OF sculpture to the
landscape, dwelt upon the value Of works
of art in bronze and marble as an embel-
lishment to the general views Of cities
and parks. Mr.. Taft departed from the
usual custom Of art lecturers in WASH
ington. He mentioned only to praise in
unmeasured terms the marvellous St.
Gauden's bronze in the Adams plot at
Rock Creek Cemetery and urged upon
the delegates that, as duty, they should
make the pilgrimage to that spot.
John w. Alexander's subject, THE
art outlook gave that distinguished
critic an opportunity to express most
optimistic sentiments regarding the de-
velopment of the cause Of art and artis-
tic design. The art appreciation Of the
American people is growing, according
to Mr. Alexander He believes the

first authoritative statement explaining
the scope Of the draft Here It is:
''The department has completed q drafi
OF a general arbitration treaty which
has been approved by the President and
will be submitted to the French and
British ambassadors as formula upor
which this government is now willing te
enter into negotiations. using this tenta-
tive draft as a basis"
The draft submitted by Secretary Knoz
is merely intended as a working basis
for the negotiations, and there are many
practical questions which will have to be
settled before the treaties assume per.
manent form.
President Chief Force.
The negotiations toward these arbitra-
ton conventions are to be credited d.
rectly to President Taft, who believes
that all questions in controversy can be
arbitrated without detriment to the ma
tional honor or dignity Of the United
States He also feels that the negotia-
ton Of such comprehensive arbitration
treaties as are proposed between this
country and Great Britain and this coun-
try and France will be a long step to-
ward worldwide peace and will operate
indirectly toward the reduction Of arma-
ment.
Several weeks ago Sir Adward Grey.
minister OF foreign affairs Of Great
Britain, made a speech in the House OF
Commons. in which he said that the pro-
posals for the negotiation Of such a
treaty between Great Britain and the
United States would be welcomed by the
British government
France has also advised Secretary Knox
of it's friendly attitude toward the arbi-
tration proposal.
When these treaties are completed 1t
is expected that similar ones will be
arranged with other countries, although
no definite proposals have been made by
any other foreign governments. Secre-
tary Knox hopes to have the treaties with
England and France signed in time to
submit to the Senate at the present spe-
cial session Of Congress.
The statement Of the Secretary Of State
indicates that the prerogatives of the
Senate will not be infringed upon by the
new convention. Under the proposed con-
vention. however. all disputes will be ar
bitrated or settled by direct negotiation,
and the Senate will not have an oppor-
tunity of passing upon the propriety of
arbitrating the dispute. The Senate, how
ever. will retain its power to approve
the statement Of the questions at issue.

Talks on Pageantry.
"Pageantry'' was George Pierce
Bakers subject. He discussed the rea-
sons for the development in America
Of an interest in proper pageantry after
| the fashion in Europe.
1T has been pointed out by Euro
peans," said Mr.. Baker. that America.
| with a history covering a much shorter
period than that OF European and Asiatic
nations. has not the opportunity for the
development Of pageantry to the extent
which it is possible in Europe. There is
an answer to this. Failing to have the
history covering a period which is preg-
nant with possibilities for the depicting
OF great historic events through the pub
lie pageant. America must take q more
original trend. We must develop a page
antry Of our own.
The wonderful things Of American in
dustry and American progress and Amer
lean originality Of thought, action. and
invention may be presented in a form Of
pageantry that can equal and may surpass
any OF the numerous stated and special
pageants of the Old World.
Huger Elliott discussed the relationship
between the handicrafts and the fine arts.
He said that the artistic handicrafts like
the designing of tapestries, wall papers,
draperies, and metal work Of various
kinds were so closely akin to the fine
arts. sculpture and painting. that in the
perfection of the former must be ac-
knowledged the intimate relationship with
the latter.

to-day includes lectures by Irving X.

Right Hon. James Bryce. the Brit
ish Ambassador, and ]. ]. Jusserand, the

Other disputes which are not re-
garded as properly subject 10 arbitra-
ton are to be submitted to a commits
sion of inquiry to be composed of mem
bers Of the permanent court of The
