Ag the last twelve months.
The Peace Movement is just now
a notable celebration Of
he successful maintenance Of peace |
between the United States and |
Great Britain for a period of one
years. The centenary Of
the Treaty of Ghent, first conceiv-
ed as a peace jubilee will be held
in 1915, and its importance has al
ready far outrm the original plan.
English and American committees
of foremost citizens are working
out the details and the celebration
bids fair to be the consummation OF
international amity.
This coming summer the city Of
Ghent will have fitting ceremonies
in this connection at the exhibition
to be held there, while the opening
Of the Carnegie Palace Of Peace at
The Hague will be one Of the fea-
lures of the Dutch celebration Of
their centenary Of Independence.
As a propaganda the Peace
Movement is much better organized
at present than it was a year ago or
at an earlier period. The Ameri-
can Peace Society has been thor
oughly reorganized and state socie-
ties are rapidly increasing. The
fourth American Peace Congress
held in st. Louis, Mo, has just
closed. The New England States,
New York, New Jersey, the Central
West, the South Atlantic States
and the Pacific Coast are organic
ed into departments in charge OF
directors who have been very sue
cessful in organizing state and local
societies and in securing concerted
action.
The Delaware Peace Society in
cludes the name Of Judge George
Gray, and other men prominent in
the affairs Of the State and the Ma
ton.
| The work of the Carnegie En-
dowment for International Peace
is carried on not only in America
| but to a large extent in Europe
Again quoting Mr.. Myers, cts
three departments Of Intercours@
and Education, Economics and
History, and International Law in
tend 10 continue much Of THEN
work through granting aid to Other
organizations. Such assistance has
made possible much more effective
work on the part Of societies ii
making internationaliSm conscious
Next month at Brussels the un
ion will hold the second WorIC
Congress of international Associa
tions, an epoch-making event il
worldwide cooperation. The de
partment Of International Law la,
enlisted the savants Of the woriC

able in respect to the proposed
academy at The Hague"
