He expressed this idea recently in his Nobel peace prize address before the University of Christiania. Mr, Branting divided last years peace prize with Christian L, Lange, of Norway. According to the terms of the Nobel Foundation, the winner must deliver an address be- fore the University of Chiistlanta on the subject of pewce, For ycars I'remie: Dranting has been closely identified with the labor movement as represented by the In- ternational unions, and of late years he has proved an implacalle foe of bolzhevism in the ranks of labor, In his spcech he stressed the importance of the role that enlightened labor could play as peacemaker. He de- ciared that the lcague of nations was new weak hecause of “the absence of President Wilson's own country as well as that of the great defeated powers, Germany and Russia,” add- ing that the limitations and short- comings of the league must be elim- dnated if our civilization s to endure.

Its huge membership is a power to be reckoned with, and the propaganda against war is being incessantly car- rled on among these masses. The situation may soon be such that when the question is asked: “Who has done most for the cause of peace in the epirit of Alfred Nobel, the reply will be: ‘The Amsterdam Internationale.” Mr. Branting closed his ad- dress with this quotation from James Dryce: “If the peoples do not try to annihilate war, then the war will an- nihilate them.” ORLANDO DECLINES Fx-Premier Refuses to Continue Work of Forming New Cabinet, Fearing It ‘Will Be Short-Lived. Rome, July 24.—(By Assoclated Press.)—Former Premier Orlando, after an hour's consultation with King Victor Emmanuel, today, is reported to have refused to form a cabinet to succeed that of Premier Facta, which resigned last week. Signor Orlanro, who has been dis- cuesing the situation with all the izaders of the various constitntional groups of the chamber, is said to have declared himseclf against the forma- tion of a short-lived cabinet, as a rainistry of uncertain tenure, he point- ed out, would find it impossible to do anything worth while toward the pa- cification of the country—Italy's su- preme need of the moment. After the consultation, the king called Signors De Nicola and Tittoni, presidents respectively of the cham- bzrs of deputies and the senate, for renewed consultations. Sanskrit is the language of the an- cient Hindus, and is regarded as the speech nearest to that spoken by the Aryan race, from which de- veloped all the white peoeple of today.
