He did not indicate in his address the probable time of his issuance of the call, but it can be stated that he will not await the conclusion of peace between Japan and Russia, both signatories to The Hague convention, before issning his call. * It is his present intention in abouat six weeks to bring the matter to the attention of the nations-of the world with a view to ascertaining their desires as to the time and place of holding the second 'confercnce. These preliminary inquirles will be made through the department of state. As soon thereafter as the replies re- ceived shall warrant the president will issue his formal call for the confer- ence, which probably will,be early in the coming year. e R R o RoR R RoR R RN - RoX R K] PURE FOOD CONGRESS.
