twelve months hence of Hun
dred Years of Peace among the
English speaking peoples of the

clining TO participate officially in

be nationwide. There is no
State which has not its committee
at work. Bins are before the Leg
islatures of many States. provid-
ing for official recognition of the
committee and for an appropria-
ton OF public funds. At Wash
ington the celebration will be ma
tional. At Niagara frontier and
Detroit it viii be international.
At San Francisco the world wide
celebrations will reach their fit
ting climax in a week specially
set apart for the commemoration
of a hundred years of peace.

the war between the United
States and Great Britain was de-
clared 10 be ended. News travelled
slowly, and there was some fight

But John quincy Adams. whose
signature was appended to the
treaty expressed the hope that
the twentieth century might find
the peace made by it yet unbrok-
en-. His prophetic wish has been
abundantly granted. We do we'll
to keep the festival. II was Feb
