Will Hold Together.

The action of the committee was also
determined in large measure by a let
ter from H. S. Perris, the secretary of
the British committee for the celebra-
ton, in which he stated, in effect, that
the British committee, while it had
held no meeting since the declaration
of war, intended "to hold the organi-
cation together, in the hope that these
evil days will soon pass. and we can
then take up afresh the work for the
celebration" This letter made it clear
that the celebration. if undertaken at
this time and on the proposed imposing
scale, must proceed without the CO.
operation of Great Britain-that the
United States must celebrate the ami
versary alone. -.---
1t is learned there were other con-
siderations: it was felt that it would be
a mistake to ask the public generously
to contribute to funds to be expended
in banquets street parades. musical
festivals, fireworks. receptions and the
customary round of official and social
functions. at a time when vast num-
bers of people are facing starvation
in more than one country in Europe.

to Be Dropped.

1t has been definitely decided to post
pone the Washington celebration of the
centenary of the Anglo-American
peace, scheduled for 1914-1915, to a
later date, the anniversary of the
Rush Bagot agreement, April %. 1917.
being suggested as an appropriate an
niversary. By this exchange of notes
the disarmament of the great lakes,
forming large part of the boundary
between the United States and the Do
minfon of Canada, was effected, and
has since been maintained. The ami
versary of this important international
event Is regarded as even more signifi-
cant of the friendly relations existing
between the two countries than the
signing of the treaty of Client Christ
mas eve, 1914, which put an end to the
war of 1872
me postponement of the celebration
originated in the adoption of the fol-
lowing resolution by the executive
committee of the committee of one
hundred, which was appointed by the
board OF Commissioners of the District
OF Columbia. to have charge of the cele-
bration at the NATIONAL Capital:
Resolved, That in the opinion of the
executive committee of the Washing
ton committee of one hundred to cele-
brate the centenary of Anglo-American
peace, the celebration of the hundred
years of peace should be postponed I'M
der the existing circumstances until a
niversary of the Rush-Bagot agreement

Might Be Embarrassing.

1t is pointed out that there are
many reasons which make the present
celebration of the centenary of Anglo
American peace inappropriate in WASH
ington, even though parts of the origi-
nal program may be carried out else
where. The President has adopted the
policy of a strict neutrality as between
the belligerents in the war which is
devastating Europe. and the official
demonstration of our friendly feelings
as a nation toward one of these bellig-
erents would be difficult and embar-
RAISING in view of that policy, and
especially inasmuch as Washington is
the diplomatic center of the nation.
All the belligerents have their diplo-
matte representatives here. and many
of them would of necessity be COM
PEELED to absent themselves, thus rob-
bling the occasion of a most impressive
feature, as originally planned; for 1t
was intended to emphasize in all ap-
propriate ways. not merely the fact of
century of peace with Great Britain,
but an unbroken peace with all Eu-
rope, Spain alone excepted. since the
United States became a nation.

Postponement Agreed To.

This resolution was sent to each
member of the committee of one hun
dred with request for an expression
of opinion on the subject The replies
received unanimously approved of the
suggested postponement.
A second circular letter has therefore
been sent to the members of the COM
mittee announcing this fact, and stat
ing that in view of the unanimous
judgment of it's members so ascer-
tanned no meeting of the committee of
one hundred will be called to ratify
the action of the executive committee.
In taking this action, however, the
Washington committee expresses the
belief that in any event the date of
the signing of the treaty of Client
should not pass unnoticed, and that the
educational and religious features of
the program of the American commit
tee, with headquarters at New York,
should be carried into effect in all their
details. The treaty of Client was sign
ed at the little city of Client Christmas
eve. December "a. 1914. and the COM
mittee therefore particularly recon-
mends that there should be held in all
the churches of Washington a service
of praise and Thanksgiving in COM
memoratfon of the anniversary of the
signing of this treaty, exactly 100 years
ago Christmas eve, December "a, 1914.

Stamp Issue Held Up.

It was, it is understood. largely for
these reasons that Postmaster General
Burleson decided not to issue the spe-
cial postage stamps. in two and five
cent denominations. which were de-
signed, engraved and printed in COM
memoration of the anniversary. The
issue of these stamps at this time. the
committee thinks, would certainly have
been misconstrued in Europe. 1t would.
moreover, have appeared as a terrible
travesty of fact. inasmuch as the
stamps bear across their face. in large
black letters, the legend "1814-Peace
|-1914" These two dates found a
large part of the world engaged in the
two greatest wars the world has ever
known. the Napoleonic wars being the
only wars, prior to the present strug-
gle, which even approached 1T in OK
tent, in expenditure and in bloodshed.
1t is believed that the attitude of
Postmaster General Burleson repre-
scented the general attitude of the ad-
ministration. The decision to postpone
the celebration to more opportune
of Commissioners of the District of
Columbia, to which the committee of
one hundred owes it's existence, and
of which 1t vas therefore officially rep
reSentatiVe.
