FOR WORLD PEACE

oh 'VtkEb U L0NL
To the peopleof the United States.
One hundred years ago today thel
was signed at Client, in Flanders. tn
treaty of peace between Great Britain
and the United States, which marke
the close of what has happily prove
TO be the last war between English
speaking peoples of the cath. Toda.
the city of Client is at the very cente
of the terrible conflict that RACES il
Europe. The American Peace Cente
nary Committee cannot permit thl
anniversary to pass without invitin!
the thoughtful attention of THEN. fe.
low citizens to the contrast presen'e;
by the century-long period of peac
which Englist-speaking peoples hav'
enjoyed among themselves on the on,
hand, and the appalling destruction o
lie, property and great monuments .
civilization which the European wa
involves on the other. 1t had been ou'
confident hope that the example which
the English-speaking peoples have Sc
in their relations with each oth2l
would be followed by the other grea
nations of the earth IN their severa
international relations. 1t had beer
peaceful and friendly cooperation
which each Of these peoples manifest;
toward the people of the United States
would also mark their dealings wifi
one another. info 'tunately this was
not to be, and we are sorrowfully call.
ed upon to mark our centenary ce.e-
bration in the midst of the most ter
rible and destructive war that history
records.
Even at such time, we must avoW
once more our emphatic faith in the
supremacy of justice over force, Of
law over might. We rejoice in the
peaceful relations of hundred years
among all English-speaking peoples,
and particularly in the undefended
and unfortified line, nearly four thouS-
and miles in length, which divides the
territory of the United States from
that of the Dominion of Canada. The
mutual trust. forbearance and help
fu.ness which make that undefended
boundary link and not barrier be-
tween two peoples, we offer as an eX-
ample to our warning brothers across
the sea.
1t had been our purpose. when our
Committee was organized in 1910. TO
plan for great celebration Of the
centenary anniversary by various me-
thodS which have now. because of the
terrible war which Is still CONFUSING
Europe and disturbing the whole
world, become impracticab,e until the
close Of the conflict.

crepe chiffon. chiffon cloth. and black
