To Abolish Fear of War.

I'VE must be free to live without the
continual fear of war. Things must
be so settled by this war that nations
will feel themselves safe.
England, France and Russia are re-

which means the fate of the world. 1T
may take a long time TO destroy Prus-

Louis Gutenberg, chairman of the
committee on arrangements, introduced
William r. GUIDE, former president of
the Chamber of Commerce, who pre-
sided. The first speaker was Justice
Ashley NJ. Gould of the Supreme Court
of the District of Columbia, who dur

Justice Could said it was somewhat
odd for citizens of the District of Co

people of the states until Congress IN
