International Disputes.

Mohonk Lake. N. Y, May 1G.--
In an address at the Lake Mohonk
Conference on International Arbi-
tration here tonight. DR.. Charles
~. Eliot, president emeritus Of
Harvard University, stated that
there was no truth in the idea that
the present huge armaments would
throw any nation into bankruptcy,
and that even if 1t We're true ma
tions would sti fight for their in
dependence and territory.
The subject OF DR. Eliots address
was How to Root Out the Causes
pf War" According to his theory,
wars OF the future can only be avert
ed by popular education, public
works OF conservancy, the progress
VI ihlti iHdtiuliui law, Vi tNOHUiifc
and industrial legislation, the ac-
ceptance Of the open door policy
and the gradual adoption OF the
ljudisial settlements Of International
disputes.
.s'sAn active cause OF war in
Europe, Asia ana Africa during the
nineteenth century and the opening
OF the twentieth has been the oppo-
sition Of the powers to the uniaca-
tion of peoples by nationality" said
DR.. Eliot. The on y way to root
out this cause OF war is to persuade
publiciste, governors and voters in
all the strong nations that the sen
timent of nationality is supremely
potent. indestruotible and right
Iful."
