Chicago.—The sessions of the sec-
ond National Peace Congress, which
opened in Orchestra hall Monday aft-
ernoon,' attracted to Chicago many
thousand earnest enemies of war,
among them being many distinguished
statesmen, diplomats and political
economists. President Taft is the
honorary president of the congress,
and Secretary of War Jacob M. Dick-
inson is its active president, but neith-
er of these gentlemen was able to
be present, owing to their official du-
ties. However, there was no lack of
eminent men to preside over the ses-
sions.
As a preliminary to the congress,
special peace services were held in
many Chicago churches Sunday morn-
ing, peace meetings arranged by labor
and socialist organizations were held
in the afternoon, and in the ewening
there was a big mass meeting, at
which addresses were delivered by
Rev. Jenkin Lloyd Jones and . Rev.
Emil G. Hirsch, both of Chicago, and
President Jacob Gould Schurman of
Cornell university:
Welcome to the Congress.
Orchestra hall was filled to the
limit Monday when the first session
was called to order by Robert Treat
Paine of Boston, the presiding officer,
for governors, mayors and hundreds of
clubs had been asked to appoint dele-
gates, and most of-them had re-
sponded. President Dickison’s ad-
dress, the same he delivered several
weeks ago before the Hamilton club,
was read, and the congress was then
formally welcomed by Gov. Charles S.
1Deneen for the state, Mayor Fred A.
Busse for the city and Rev. A. Eugene
^Bartlett, chairman of the reception-
committee. The secretary then read
a brief letter from President Taft, In
which the 'Chief executive heartily
commended the aims of the congress.
Miss Anna B. Egkstein of Boston
next was introduced to the meeting
and read a “World Petition to the
Third Hague Conference.” This was
followed by an address by Dr. Benja-

was set up, and made the court the . I \|||

“Another step of still greater mo-
ment was taken by the second Hague

Triumph of Arbitration*
*11. The position which the peace
movement has reached is no less dis-
tinctly determined by the practical at-
tainments of arbitration. We are this
year celebrating what is really the
one hundredth-anniversary of the birth
of our movement, for It was in 1809
that David L. Dodge, a Christian mer-
chant of New York city, wrote the
pamphlet which brought the move-
ment into being, and led six years
later to the organization In his parlor
in New York of the first Peace society
m the world. There had then been
no arbitrations between nations in our
modern sense of the word ‘nations.’ In
the 100 years since 1809 mor«
than 250 important controversies have
been settled by this means, not to
mention an even greater number of
less important cases, the settlemeht
of which involved the principle of ar-
bitration. Within the past 20 years so
rapid has been the triumph of arbi-
tration that more than 100 interna-
tional differences have been disposed
of by this means, or between five and
six a year for the whole 20 years
Arbitration is no longer an experi-
ment. It is the settled practice of the
nations. A score of disputes to-day go
naturally to arbitration where One
gives rise even to talk of war.
The Hague Conferences.
“III. In order to determine further
the advanced position which the
peace -movement has attained on its
practical side, the two Hague confer-
ences and what they have ac-
complished must be t&kep into ac-
count. It is still the habit of some per-'
■^sons to speak disparagingly of these
great gatherings and their results.
Some do it because they are satisfied
with nothing short of immediate per-
fection; others because they wish the
whole movement for the abolition of
war to fail. Othere do it purely from
ignorance.

ences really done toward bringing
