SIGNIFICANCE OF AMERICAN PARTICIPATICN ROME, May 15.—Ex-Prime Minister bi has contributed a noteworthy article on the peace conference to the Nuovia Antologia. He says he consid- ers the tation to the United State to participate in the conference a | of the first importance, especiall South American States are not inv The appearance of North America in the councils of Europe is a precedent which will be followed by the interven- | tion of the United States in all Euro- | pean questions. The chief interest in the article cen- ters in the record of a conversation the writer had with M. Gambetta in Pari: August 30, 1877. Gambetta then feared a coup d'etat, and Signor Crispi re marked to him that the army and | clergy constituted dangers for the re- public. M. Gambetta agreed, and de- clared the only remedy would be uni- versal disarmament. As Signor Crispl was about to visit Prince Bismarck at Gastern, M. Gambetta commissioned him to discuss the delicate question of disarmament with the Chancellor. The latter declared disarmament was pr: tically impossible. He added: *‘Words have not yet been found to express the of armament or disarmament. Military institutions vary in each coun- try, and when you have put all your armies on a peace footing you will not be able to say different netions are in equal conditions for defense and of- fense. Let us leave the matter to peace socleties.” Signor Crispi’s conclusion is scarcely more optimistic than was Prince Bis- marck’'s. The conference at The Hagu he writes, avoids but does not eliminate reasons for a quarrel, and neglects without destroying the germs of war and revolution. may be delayed, whenever nations think fit. but one way of lasting safely, namely, the substitution of united states for di- vided states. Thus alone can centuries of rancor, animosity, eyvy and preju- dice be canceled by sisterly work and | civil progress fraught with happine: for the race, which has hitherto been poisoned by barbarous lust of conquest. | ARCHBISHOP IRELAND, FAVORS DISARMAMENT NEW YORK, May Journal from Pa Ireland gave the following statement to the Journal correspondent to-day in an- swer to a request for his views on the coming peace conferenc A cable to the “All civilized nations favor the unde lying principles of The Hague confe All intelligent men recognize that national differences should be tied upon an intellectual basis, whenever yossible.
