HROPHETIC and striking utterances on
- the possibilities of a league of nations
4 made by two great Americans years
ago just have come to light What William
NJ Evarts thought OF such a plan as far
back as 1889 was set down by William "
Rowe, long associated with the le firm Of
Eyarts, Choate q Beaman. How Joseph H.
Choate looked upon the Idea and his COM

Gently as August, 1907 was also set down by
Mr.. Rowe These notes of two memorable
conversations have been transcribed by Mr..
Powe and are presented to the public for
the first time through THE New YORK
HERALD.
To realize fully the significance of these
two striking opinions one must recall the
public service or the two great men who
gave them William NJ. Evarts served as
Attorney General of the United States; as
Secretary of State; was Senator from New,
York: counsel before the Geneva Tribunal in
the Alabama case; of counsel in the i'm
parchment trial OF President Andrew john
son and counsel before the Electoral Com
mission in the Hayes-Tilden case.
JOSEPH H. Choate served as Ambassador

American delegation at the second Peace
Conference at The Hague and, with Mr..
Evarts, for more than n generation was
