Prof. David Starr Jordan, chancel
Tor OF Leland Stanford university and

tel I.aSalle.

The best guess as 10 the date the
war will end, In my opinion, Is that
made by Lloyds, which fixes 1t as
April /. There Is no more appropri-
ate date than All Fools day.
I'VE ought not to hope for peace
based on the humiliation OF any ma
ton, A treaty made when one nation
is triumphant and the other Is humil-
lated cannot be lasting. We desire
a peace that will last forever
"One word OF advice to you peace
societies. II is proper that you should
adopt resolutions In favor OF peace
and mediation, hat | solemnly charge
you not TO address those resolutions
to President Wilson.
"The president cannot make any
overtures to the warriug nations or
renew HIS offer OF mediation or arbi-
tration as long as an alien army re-
mains in Belgium. He cannot make a
single further move for peace or me-
diation until he is sure the conditions
are such that success OF his effort is
possible.
Meantime we must remain neutral.
We cannot be anti-German, anti-Rus-
sian, anti-French, anti-British or anti.
Austrian.
This Is a land where hatred dies,
and ours the flag under which race
hostility cannot exist"
