PEACE DAY.
Today is Peace Day.

| Today is Peace Day.
May 18, 1899, the first peace con
fernce" was opened at the Hague,
Since that time the movement for uni
versal peace has made great strides
and has been taken dp in some form,
to some extent, by every civilized na-
ton of the world.
The latest method o. promoting ire
cause of peace is th~olgl Instructions

Edmond, Okla, May IA, 1912
May 18th is Peace Day. 1t was or
this day in 1899 that the first peace
conference was opened at The Hague,
We are all aware of the great strides
| the universal peace movement has
made since then. A permanent court
of arbitration has been established; a
world parliment meets every eight
years at The Hague; capitol in
whic hto carry on these activities has
been erected-it is known as the Pal
ace of Peace Now when nations fall
out they look to The Hague instead of
to arms to settle the difficulty.
And why not? Here in the United
States we have forty-eight states, sep
arate and distinct for the most par,
Often they do not agree, but we have
no armed frontier, neither do we rush
to war to settle our difficulties. We
have courts in which we have suffi-
/ cient confidence on which we rely to
adjust our disputes after the cause has
been joined The British Dominions
have several governments of like char
Iacter-Canada, Australia New leland
and South Africa, and the very
strength of the Germa nempire is be-
cause the states of which it is compos-
ed no longer fight each other.
The reason ] now address You is to
request tha tat such time in the near
future you point out in your valuable
publication the significance of Peace
Day and what has already been accom-
plished by the universal peace move

of the second conference.-the of 1907
that to attain universal peace senti-

que was the result. 1t is confidently be-
lieyed that il war is presented in its
proper form to the mind of the youth
of all nations that by the time the
fourth conference meets in 1923 that
a war between civilized states will be
almost as impossible as war between
Oklahoma and Kansas. For when war
is once stripped of its glamour and
false ideals it will cease to exist.
