Essential Features

The central feature of the plan is erec-
ton of suitable monuments in America
| and England and their respective depen-
dencies, identical in design and bearing
an identical inscription. 1t is proposed
that the foundation stones be laid by
the King of England and the President
of the United States and by their repre-
sentatives in the colonial possessions.
While this Is in progress it is proposed
that all work in both countries cease
for five minutes. All nations are to be
invited to send representatives to take
part in the ceremonies.
As a method for promoting peaceful
sentiments in all classes it is proposed
there be established in universities in
both countries, chairs of British Ameri-
can history. with provision for the inter-
change of professors.
There also are to be established travel
ing and other scholarships for the study
of history. Some of these are to be for
journalists, to permit them to study in
all English speaking countries.
Establishment of permanent frontier
monuments also is contemplated and there
will be provision for religious services
of thanksgiving and commemoratiop.

peace movement and the proposd cele-
bration.a
The delegates called upon Secretary
Bryan Immediately after their arrival
and was received by him In his offices
in the state department Mr.. Bryan spoke
a word with each as he shook hands and
later briefly addressed the delegates as
they gathered about him. He declared
that in the long continued peace between
the United States and Great Britain
there was a lesson for all nations and
this theme be elaborated later in his ad-
dress at the banquet Lord Weardale,
head of the British delegation, made in
brief response in behalf of the visitors.
Received by Clark
When the party arrived at the capitol
later the House of Representatives was
about to convene, but the delegates were
received by Speaker Cfark In his office.
He had them escorted to the House gal
iery where they remained until the brief
session ended A visit to the congressional
library occupied a brief space before a
visit to Vice President Marshall was
made.
Mr.. Marshall addressed his callers and
apparently what he had to say made la
deep impression upon the delegates There
were mods of approval and several of the
callers made audible comments, agreeing
with expressions of the vice president
Mr.. Marshall said he was convinced that
practically all differences between ma
dons are possible of settlement If submit
ted to the arbitrament of fair minded
men. Again Lord Weardale replied for
the assembled delegates.
A statement outlining the proposed plan
for the celebration in all English-speak-
ing countries of the peace centenary
was made public today by Andrew b.
Humphrey, secretary of the American
committee. This will be submitted to the
respective governments with the request
that it be approved and aid in carrying
it out be given.
