ALL COUNTRIES
LOOK FOB PEACE
International Arbitration
Will Take Greater Part
in Preserving Peace and
Settling Difficulties than
War.
CHICAGO, 111.—Secretary of War
Dickinson, responding to the toast, “The
Progress of Peace" at a banquet given
by the Hamilton club in this city tonight,
called attention to the fact that man
kind was always hoping for the fulfill
ment of the prophecy that strong na
tions "shall beat th*ir swords igito plow
shares and their spears into pruning
hooks, nation shall not lift up sword
against nation, neither shall they learn
war any moro." 11© said that the time
and strengthening of the forces that
make for peace that its advocates are
boldly aggressive, knowing that they
hav© potentially that comes from the
quickened universal conscience of an en
lightened age. ” The present status, in
the progress of pence, he said, is the
product of centuries. International ar
bitration which entered upon a new era
about 1816, he said, ‘ has so progressed
In our time that no one can doubt that
it is the most powerful force now
working upon the nations for the tem
poral happiness of making. Internation
al arbitration, as we know it, Is no more
the product of the lajrt hundred years
than was the federal constitution of
1789 a product of that era. it is the
flower of our time.
Steps in Progress.
Secretary Dickinson cited various
steps In the progress of arbitration and
said “the formation of, our federal con
stitution creating for the first time a
court with full and final power to settle
all controversies between sovereign
states, was the greatest step ever taken
toward substitution of judicial procedure
for appeal to arms." Three separate
boards of arbitration were created under
the Jay treaty of 1794, he said, which
contained provisions for adjusting by
arbitration three questions which threat
ened to involve us in war with Great
Britain. A general reaction prevailed in
all civilized countries, after the over
throw of Napoleon, against barbarous
methods of settling disputes. “Peace
Ideas,” h e , said, “were fostered and pro
moted In every way. Peace societies and
peace congresses constantly stirred the
conscience of the world.”
United States Treaties.
Speaking of the various treaties made
by the United States declaring this
country in favor of arbitrable settlement
of international disputes, he said, that
the treaty of 1848 between the United
States and Mexico provided that the two
nations would in the future adjust their
disagreements by pacific negotiations
and by arbitration. The sena.te commit
tee on foreign relations Tn a resolution
reported to the senate in 1851 declared
fhstt it was desirable to secure In
treaties a provision for arbitration. The
years 1854, 1872, 1874 and 1888 found
similar resolutions introduced.
Most Influential Treaty.
“The treaty which profoundly
influence the ida.R of the world,” con
tinued Mr. Dickinson, “was that of
Washington in 1871, which provided for
four arbitrations. Tn 1868 during the
preliminary negotiations, Mr. Adams as
sured Lord Russell that there was ‘no
fair and equitable form of conventional
arbitrament’ to which America would be
willing to submit.” The secretary of
war said that Lord Russell was accred
ited in the beginning as saying that
England would not be disgraced forever
if a foreign power were left to arbitrate
whether an English secretary of state
has been diligent or negligent in the dis
charge of his duties. “Mr. Adams rose
again to a great height and saved the
treaty by getting his colleagues to make
an extrajudicial but effective declara
tion that certain claims ought to be ex
cluded from consideration, Mr. Adams
declaring that he wou.i be assuming a
great responsibility, but that he did not
so do as an arbitrator representing his
own country, but representing all na
tions.
Achievement Great.
“These long, painful, hut successful
negotiations,” continued the war secre
tary, “during which so many irritating
questions arose, which resulted in the
end of such a great achievement, fully
attest the Axed purpose of both nations
to use every effort to avoid conflict of
arms. The next in Importance were the
arbitration held in Paris In 1893 in the
fur seal case,'and the arbitral tribunal,
which decided the Alaskan boundary dis
pute.”
“National Honor.”
Taking up the declarations that had
been made that certain questions can
not be settled by arbitration, he said:
“Although it has often "been said that
questions of national honor cannot he
submitted to arbitration, experience has
shown that the term 'National Honor’
Is variable and In -some degree shadowy,
and that many questions which, under a
former rode, would have been cata
logued under 'National Honor,’ which
have been submitted and settled in this
way, even though at the outset, as was
said by Lord Russell in regard to the
Alabaam claims, such a submission was
thought to be incompatible with nation
al dignity.”
First Hague Conference.
Mr. Dickinson discussed the great
work and the outcome of the first Hague
eonference, which, he sard, aws by far
the most notable e\*ent In the history of
the world, which was attended by all
governments having dlplimattc repfesen
tatlves In St. Petersburg. The pope,
while omitted from the conference, ex
pressed his sympathy with the move
ment in a letter to the Queen of Nether
lands. Twenty-six nations participated,
represented by 100 members. The first
convention was “for the peaceful adl
histment of International differences."
The signatory powers to the conventions
agreed to use their best effort* to Insure

LETTER IN HERALD
LOCATED MAN
FOR HIS WIFE
Ensign Robins, of the Salvation
Army, who received a letter from
Mrs. W. Duncan of Hull, England, sev
eral days ago which was published
in The Herald Thursday, inquiring
of the whereabouts of her husband,
whom she lost track of In Augusta
some time ago, has learned of the
whereabouts of Mr. Duncan, through
the publication of the letter in The
Herald.
Mr. E. S. Johnson, secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce, read the let
ter in The Herald and recollected hav
ing assisted Duncan to get a job here.
Duncan, however, would not take It
and went to Charlotte, where he now
is. This Information will he furnish

The death is announced of Then
Patrick, the infant son of Mr. and

Saturday afternoon at 6 o’clock, at
the family residence on Greene street
The deceased was 15 months old, and
passed away after an illness of two
weeks.

the pacific settlement of International
differences.
“All the power* represented at the
conference,” he said, “signed It. They
govern nine-tenths of the world,” repre
senting a population of 1,400,000,000 out
of the total of 1,600,000,000 of the earth's
inhabitants.
America's Proposition.
“As Amricans, whose government has
always been in the advanced guard con
tending for human itari n .n principles,”
continued the secretary, “we take a
laudable pride in tne fact that the Uni
ted States proposed to our sister repub
lic of Mexico to submit to The Hague
tribunal the pious fund controversy, the
first case brought under its authority.
That Japan and Russia, two of the
signal powers, plunged into war without
restorting to The Hague tribunal,
no ground for serious concern as to the
future of arbitration. No ne but a
dreamer ever expected all war to be
ablished. It was manifest that there
was no place for arbitration between
Russia and Japan.’
All Powers Meet.
Speaking of The Hague conference of
1907, which was called by the czar of
Russia upon the Initiative of President
Roosevelt, the secretary of war said It.
was participated in by forty-four sov
ereigns and w'as the first general con
ference of practloally all the powers of
the world. At this conference thirteen
conventions, four declarations and three
wishes were adopted. Mr. Dickinson dis
cussed the recent conventions, one of
which wns that signed in February, 1909,
at London by delegates of ten of the
principal maritime powers of the world,
which wns for the regulating of warfare
at «ea. A distinct triumph for the cause
of international arbitration, continued
the war secretary, was gained when
France and Germany agreed to submit
to The Hague the question arising ont
of the Casablanca affair. The questions
involved were more or less of what Is
termed “national honor.” A special
agreement was signed by the United
States and Great Britain on January
27, 1909, submitting to arbitration to The
Plague the controversy as to the North
Atlantic coast (or northeastern) fish
eries.
Public Sentiment Growing.
“There can be no disarmament until
the greater powers agree upon a system
of concurred action,” said Mr. Dlckin
son, in concluding. “TThe tide of public
sentiment all over the world is setting
strongly in this direction. Looking to
the progress in peace measures of the
last hundred, and especially the last
twenty years, the hope may well be en
tertained that, disarmament will become
a reality, and that the people may en
joy not only the blessings of fleace, but
the blessings of peace without the
crushing burden of preparedness for
war."

Lots that you’d pay SIOO for now, will doubtless be worth S2OO

Within two years’ time, in all probability, the Twin City Power

be a very quick rise in the prices of all Augusta properties.
Don’t wait until the prices go up! Do YOUR buying now. You
might as well profit by the misfortune of the Irish American Invest
