May 6, before the Jiobel prise committee which award- m him the peace prise far his euc* flfbsoful efforts in ending the war be- fyeen Russia and Japan. The grsat where the lecture was delivered filled to the doors, many distin- sh«d persons being in the audience, and Colonel Roosevelt's words were heartily applauded. His lecture fol- I It is with peculiar pleasure that I •tand here today to express the deep appreciation I feel of the high honor conferred upon me by the presenta­ tion of the Nobel, peace prise. The Cold medal which formed part of the prize 1 shall always keep, and 1 sball iMiid it on to my children as a precious ke'.rloom. The sum of money provided «M pal* of the prise by the wise gen­ erosity of the illustrious founder of this world-famous prize system, I did Hot, under the peculiar circumstances Of the case, feel at liberty to keep. I think ft eminently Just and proper that in most cases the recipient of the prize Should keep for his own use the prise In it* entirety. But in this «ase; wltHe I did ntft act officially as president pf the United States, it was nevertheless only because I was pres­ ident that I was enabled to act at all; and I. felt that the money must be considered as having been given me In trust for the United States. I there­ fore used it as a nucleus for a founda­ tion to forward the' cause of indus­ trial peace, as being well within the general purpose of your committee; CW tn our complex industrial civiliza­ tion of today the peace of righteous­ ness and Justice, the only kind of peace worth _ having, is at least as V^cessary in the industrial world as It in among nations. There Is at -Safest as much need to curb the cruel «ad arrogance of part of the worM of capital, to curb the cruel greed and violence of part of the world of labor, as to check a cruel Ml unhealthy militarism In lnterna- relationshlps. | nation, and keenly of Its ho» or and interest. I mk othe*'nations to do only what I should ha glad to tee my own nation do. • * Treaties efArbitratlon. The advance can be made uonf several lines. First of all there caa be treaties of arbitration. There ar* af course* states so backward that a civilized community ought not to en­ ter into an arbitration treaty with them, at least until we have gone much further than at present in se» curing some kind of international po» lice action. .But all really civliksdw >. communities should have effective ar­ bitration treaties among themselves,. I believe that these treaties can cover almost all questions liable to arise be* tween such nations. If they are drawn with the explicit agreement that each contracting party will respeot the oth­ er's territory and absolute sovereignty within that territory, and the equally explicit agreement that (aside from the very rare cases where the nation's honor is vitally concerned) al! other possible subjects of controversy will be submitted to arbitration. Such e treaty should insure psaee until one party deliberately violated it Of course, as yet there is no adequate safeguard against such deliberate vio­ lation, but the establishment of a sufficient number of these treaties would go a long way towards creating a world opinion which would 'finally find expression in the provision of methods to forbid or pvsWi any si^eli WELCOME ' When Peace May Be Evtl.'< We must ever bear in mini that the great end in view Is. righteousness, lattice as between man and man, na tk>n and nation, the chance to lead ourlivea on a somewhat higher level, with a broader spirit of brotherly good will one for another. Peace is gen­ erally good in itself, but it In aever the highest good unless It comes as the handmaid of righteousness; and it fcecOmes a very evil thing if it serves "merely as a'mask for cowardice and aflotb, or aa an instrument to further tike aads of despotism or anarchy. We despise and abhor the bti|lly, the tpawler, the oppressor, -whether in private or public life; but we despise BO less the coward and the voluptu­ ary. No man Is worth calling a man Who will not fight rather than submit to infamy or see those that are dear to him suffer wrong. No nation de- aervea to exist if it permits itself to loae the stern and virile virtues; and this without regard to whether the lots 1B due to the growth of a heart- leas and all-absorbing commercialism, to prolonged indulgence in luxury and •oft effortless ease, or to the deifica­ tion of a warped and twisted senti­ mentality. Moreover and above all, let us re- t .member that "words count onljr when rfhey give expression to deeds or are *to be translated into them. The lead- , «aa§ of the Red Terror prattled of faace while they steeped their hands In the bjouii of the Innocent; and many £ tyrant has called it peace when he has scourged honest protest lato silence. Our words must be Judged by our deeds; and in striving tor a lofty ideal, we must use prac­ tical methods; and If we cannot at­ tain all at one leap, we must advance towards it step by step, reasonably content so long as we do actually aaake some progress in the right di­ rection. Now, having freely admitted the limitations to our work, and the qual­ ifications to be borne in mind, I feel that I have the right to have my words taken seriously when I point out where, in my Judgment, great ad­ vance can be made in the cause of in­ ternational peace. I speak as a prac­ tical man, and whatever I now advo­ cate I actually tried to do when I was for the time being the head of a great Violation.,.' . • ' Work of Higfif Tribunal. , j Secondly, there is the further da* velopment of The Hague tribunal,; of the work of the conferences and courts at The .Hague. It has been well said that the first Hague conference framed a Magna Charta for the na­ tions; it aet before us an ideal which t:ina27 is- real­ ized, and toward* the full realisation of which we can all steadily strive. The second conference made further progress; the third should da. yet more. Meanwhile the American' gov­ ernment has more than once tenta­ tively suggested methods for com­ pleting the court of arbitral justice, constituted at the second Hague con­ ference, and for rendering it effective. It is earnestly to be hoped thai tbc various governments of Europe, work­ ing with those of America and of Asia, shall set themselves seriou^y to the task of devising some method which shall accomplish this result; If I may venture the suggestion, It would be well for the statesmen of the world, In planning for the erection of this world court, to study what has been done in the United States by tha Supreme court. -1 cannot help think­ ing that the Constitution of the United States, notably in tha establishment of the Supremo court and la tha methods R'topted for securing peace and good relations among and be­ tween the different states, offers oar- tain valuable analogies to what should be striven tor in order to secure, through The Hague oourts and confer­ ences, a spesie* of world federation for International peace and justice.' i' 'V'Unduo Growth,of Armaments.; l ift the third place, something Bhotfid ibe done «s soon as possible to cheek the growth of. armaments, especially naval armaments, by international agreement. No one power could pr should, act by itself; for It Is eminent­ ly undesirable, from the standpoint jof the peace of righteousness, that a power "which Teally does believe jta peace should place itself at the mercy of some rival which may at bottom have no such belief and no Intention of acting on it But, granted sin­ cerity of purpose, the great powers Of the world should find no Insurmount­ able difficulty in reaching an agn ment which would put an end to present costly and growing extra gance of expenditure on naval ments. Finally, It would be a master strode If those gr«M powers honestly bent on peace would form a league of peaoe, not only to keep the peace among themselves, but to prevent, by force if necessary, its being broken by others. The supreme difficulty in connection with developing the peaee work of The Hague arises from the lack of any executive power, of any police power to enforce the decree of the court= In any community of any alase tha au­ thority of the courts rests upon actual or potential force; on the existence of a police, or on the knowledge that the able-bodied men of the country are both leady and willing to see that the decrees of Judicial and legislative bodies are put into effect. In new and wild communities where there Is vio­ lence, an honest man must protect himself; and until other means of se­ curing his safety are devised, It is both foolish and wicked to persuade him to surrender his arms while the men who are dangerous to the com­ munity retain theirs. He should not renounce the right to protect himself by his cste efforts until -the comsta- nlty U so organised that it can effec­ tively relieve the individual of the duty of ^putting down violence. So it is with nations. Each . nation must keep well prepared to defend itself un­ til the establishment of some form of International police power, com po­ tent and willing to prevent vioienca as between nations. f « sr«'V" - $300,000 to Send Youths to America. , Lord Mountstephen's generous de­ cision to allot a sum of about three luindred thousand dollars for. emi­ grating young children to Canada, and 4evote the income resulting to that jpurpose, is' likely to have important Results In empire building.

Nature has evidently provided them with special nerves that are af­ fected by changes In the -weight and moisture of the atmosphere, to which all storms are due. Those little crea­ tures, .he bees, are peculiarly accu­ rate weather harbingers, but how far ahead the bee may be able to look Is an open question. A keen observer, by looking at them in the early morning, during the work­ ing season, will soon be able to form an opinion as to what the day will be. and that almost to a certainty, for they will sometimes appear sluggish and in­ active, although the morning Is very bright and showing every appearance of a dear day, but the sun soon be­ comes clouded, and rain follows. And again, the morning may be dull and cloudy, and sometimes rain may be falling; still the bees may be ob­ served going out in considerable num­ bers, and aa sure as this la aeen t^e day becomes bright and fstr.~ " I , " A n d f t w e t t s e ( t F ^ * * " " i : ' Learn wisdom from tha fblltea of Mikado's Daughter la Wadded. ,• Tokyo. -- Princess Nobuko Fumi- no-Miya, the third surviving daugh­ ter of the emperor of Japan, was married today to Prince Asaka.
