Leon Bourgeois, we'll | advanced in years of service at The Hague conferences in the interests of peace, had with him Larnaude, dean of i the faculty of law at the Pahis School | of Law. Orlando, Italy's vivid prime | minister and an eminent jurist as well, | had Senator Scialoja as his colleague | in expressing the mind of the govern ! ment at Rome; while aBron Makino, Japanese foreign minister, and Wis count Chinda, her ambassador at Lon don, contributed the keen and quiet opinion of the far eastern country.
 Though these five powers were each represented by two members on the commission, its deliberations were not dominated by their views. There also sat down to the table Hymans, the Belgian foreign minister; Senator PessOa, of Brazil; V. K. Wellington Koo, China's minister at Washington; Kramarz. prime minister of the CZecho-Slovak republic; Venizelos, prime minister of Greece; Dmowski, president of the Polish National com mittee; Jayne Batalha Refs, Portu- guese minister to Petrograd; Dia- mandy, minister plenipotentiary of Ru- mania, and Vesnitch, Serbian minister at Paris.
 They included representative of the east, South America, and the oldest and the newest state of Europe. This striking group of statesmen, so keenly interested that they presented an un- broken record of attendance at the meetings, contributed to the discus sions force and vision which rivaled that of the greater powers.

Every day, as the commission made progress through the draft, there was laid at each place a revised copy indicating
 just what had been accomplished on the day before If there were amend ] ments to be proposed by any member, he saw to it that they were typewrit- ten and distributed so that each Of his
 colleagues might examine their merits in advance.
