Not Officially Explained.

There is discussion but no official
explanation of why twp of the names
most generally mentioned in the early
speculation as to the probable per-
sonne1 of the peace delegation do not
appear on the list Elihu Root. former
Secretary of State, and Louis Brandeis,
associate justice of the Supreme Court,
were considered in well Informed
quarters almost certain to be
chosen. Recently it has been said
that Mr. Root did not care to under
take the mission and that Justice
Brandeis would not be able to leave
the country because of his work in
the court.
No further announcement of the
Presidents plans was made. He ex-
poets to sail the Gay after he ad-
dresses the new session of Congress,
and the address probably will be de-
livered either Monday or Tuesday.
On his ship, the transport George
Washington, will go the peace dele
cation and its army of experts and
clerical assistants.
In order to avoid confusion and to
save trouble, the War Trade Board

Recorded in Civilization HISTORY.

to the conclusion that further efforts
to subdue the colonies were useless,
and a motion was made in the house
or commons against continuing the
war in America. The king was soon
given power by an enabling bill to
make peace or truce with America
thus the peace of Paris. which termi-
mated the revolutionary war, was
signed on September 8, 1888, between
Great Britain, the United States,
Spain and France.
The preamble to this provisional
Stephens, deserves special notice, for
it sets forth great truth, which all
statesmen would do well to study. and
presents moral lesson which forms
a fitting conclusion to this chapter,
closing, as it does, a brief outline
sovereign right of local self-govern-
ment on this continent
Text Of Preamble.
The preamble referred to is in these
words: q
'tWhereas reciprocal advantages
and mutual convenience have been
found by experience to form the only
permanent foundation for peace and
friendship between states, it is agreed
to form the articles of the proposed
treaty On SuCl principles OF liberal
equity and reciprocity as that" ETC.
In announcing the settlement of the
preliminaries of this first great An
glo-American peace conference, John
Adams wrote, 1--WE have been indus
trious. having been at it forenoon
afternoon and evening since my ar
rival" and Benjamin Franklin added
I'VE hope the terms we have secured
will be satisfactory, though to secure
our main points we may have yielded
too much in favor of royalists.''
Holland was the first country to
acknowledge the independence of the
United States. in 1882: Sweden, in
February, 1888; Denmark in the same
month: Spain in March and Russia
in July.
And thus the republic of the United
States Of America became an inde-
pendent power among the nations of
the earth, and today the most potent
factor in giving freedom to the down
trodden and suffering people of the
eastern hemisphere.

accordance with this advice, John
Adams. Benjamin Franklin, John Jay
