government of tho Unitjed States,

American.

Mr. Bryco's Reply
Prom San Francisco, on the eve of
sailing for Japan, on May 3, 1913,
Mr. Bryce sent the following re
sponse: ioHOwral0 .Henry B' F' Macfar
nd,Wsh,ington' D- C. Mr. Dear
Mr. Macfarland: Will you bo good
enough to convey my sincere thanks
to the gentlemen who have signed
the letter which you have handed to
me, many of them my personal
friends and all of them men whose
good opinion I value highly.
"I am deeply touched by the kind
feeling which prompted it, and by
tho warm terms in which it is
couched, and I am especially gratified
by the reference to the interest which
my wife has taken in all that contri
butes to the welfaro of Washington.
Whoever lives in your city can not
but feel the charm of its umbrageous
streets, and bo struck by the splen
did possibilities which it offers in re-
?tPeK, ?Lthe dIgnity and harmony of
its buildincs. and nf th t,q,. "l .
wVlV1? t0 "s surroundings
What I havo been able to do towards
;MhBin5rinte5BBt In th0 adornment
of the city and preservation for pub
lic enjoyment of the beautiful woods
and valleys that environ it has beon
little enough; I wiah it could hale
been more. But it has been willing
ly done, and I am glad to tMni V?8!

THE NEXT HAGUE CONFERENCE
In I1?7,,01 the ereat interest
aroused by Mr. Bryan's proposal f0
a world's peace and the drawing near
of the next Hague conference? it is
well to recall tho fact that the last
conference adopted certain recora
mendations for the purpose of mak
ing provision for the work of the an
proaching session. Unless steps are
taken speedily to give effect to these
recommendations, tho work of tho
conference may be so imperilled by
reason of unpreparedness that its as
sembly may be postponed indefi
nitely. The final resolution of thnt ..
ference, as set forth in the Blue"
Book (miscellaneous 1, 1908) was
as follows:
"Tho conference recommends to
tho powers -the assembly of a third
peace conference, which might be
held within a period corresponding
to that which has elapsed since the
preceding conference, at a date to be
fixed by common agreement between
tho powers, and it calls their atten
tion to the necessity of preparing the
programme of this third conferenco
a sufficient time in advance to insure
its deliberations being conducted
with the necessary authority and ex
pedition. In order to attain this
object the conference considers that
it would be very desirable that, some
two years before the probable date
of the meeting, a preparatory com
mittee should be charged by the
governments with the task of col
lecting the various proposals to be
submitted to the conference, of as
certaining what subjects are ripe for
emooaiment in an international regu
lation, and of preparing a programmo
which the governments should de
cide upon in sufficient time to enable
it to be carefully examined by the
countries Interested. This committee
should further bo Intrusted with tho
task of proposing a system of organi
zation and procedure for tho con
ference itself."
