| Ra IMMA. Ms STORY OF BRYAN'S EFFORTS NTO PROMOTE WORLD PEACE ‘AS REVIEWED BY HIMSELF Thirty-Four Nations Have Signed Arbitration Treaties as Outlined by Secretary—Teuton Allies Have Never Entered Into Pacts. By Harry Wilson Walker. (Written at request of Mr. Bryan and revised and edited by him.) ‘The grandeur of Rome was in its military system and severe laws. conquests, which left a trail of blood end from Asia to the Atlantic, have been translated into every tongue and taught in every school. Tolstoy, the great teacher of humanity, the philosopher and student of man, early realized that there was a greater cause for man than con- Quest by the sword; that there was a greater theme than the shedding of blood and establishment of empi: than those which described great change from the Roman days of blood and iron he refers to the great peasant writer, Bondaref, and his far-reaching Influence through the simple words he sent forth and which were Mfe, a more noble ambition and a greater power for good. How strange and odd it would have seemed to the educated Romans of the middle of the first century had any one told them that the obscure, confused and often unintelligible let- ters addressed by a wandering Jew to Bis friends and pupils would have a hundred, a thousand, a hundred thou- sand times more readets, more cir- culation, and more influence over people, than all the poems, odes, ole- gies, and elegant epistles of the au- thors of that age! and yet, that ls what has happened, he wrote. WANTED ONLY TO MAKE HU- MANITY BETTER. ‘Tolstoy's referen to the great work of Bondaref shows he belisves that the most lasting and widespread word is that which appeals to the best In man and that the most rev- erenced act is that which makes bu- manity better one to the other. Tolstoy believed in progress, but not the progréss which appealed to the Roman statesman or the modern statesman — with them conquest means progress, with them war is Just; to arouse the martial spirit in youth’ is an ambition that shauid be cultivated, for by war alone can all disputes between nations be seiitec. To them “God is on the side that ans the heaviest cannon,” and to sal to peaceful methods is to show kness and to lose advantage, Even tn the glorious age of Greece, which has indelibly engraved Itself upon all civilized nations, war was the only method of settling disputes, ond the peotry and drama of that un- equalled time was cast aside blood might be shed. To-day Europe ts dominated by the same fecling. ‘The so-called civiliza- tion of 2,000 years was set aside in a @ay that men might satisfy their lust for one another's blood, and to- day and for many days Europe has been a slaughter house to an extent never before known in the world’s his- tory. BRYAN APPEARS A8 ADVOCATE OF PEACE. Amid this terrible condition the United Btates stands reverenced by the world, for from the United States has come a new policy that is destined, like the words of Bondaref, to set a wider and deeper example and become « @reater Influence over the passions and ambitions of men than all the great writings and poems and dramas that deal with war combined. It was ten years ago that William Jennings Bryan first gave voice to the doctrine of peace, which is now em- bodied in thirty treaties negotiated by him as Secretary of State. The Com- moner of Feb, 17, 1905, contained the following from his pen: “It is time for the leading nations to join together in proffering their good offices for the settlement of the war In the east. There must be mediation some time, why not now? Russia can not hope to retake Port Arthur in years, if at all, and Japan will find war more expensive and more hazardous the farther her army marches inland, There has been kill- ing enough on both sides to satisfy that absurd sense of honor which re- quires bloodshed. time when the Christian nations were Radway’s Pills For Constipation Constipation is dangerous.

Such a system would make war a remote possibility.” ADVOCATED ARBITRATION OF | ALL DISPUTES. A second editorial appeared | February 24, 1905, a week inter, and presented the idea more at length: =| “It is possible to provide for the impartial investigation of any Inter- national dispute, leaving the final/ submission to arbitration. The President might be authorized to enter into an agreement to submit any and every international dispute to The Hague court for tnvestiga- ;tion, When the court reports upon the facts and presents the real issue! between the parties, then the parties can decide intelligently whether it in- volves a proper question for arbl- tration or affects the integrity and |honor of either nation, Such an in-| | vestigation would, In most cases, re- move tho misunderstanding and jbring about a reconciliation, and | public opinion would exert a power: | ferences which might be found to| exist. * * * If such a plan had! |proval of the President-elect, CIRCLE DRAWN : Sree IIT a ECAR me yi yee ang ¥ x EVENING WORLD, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 9, 1916."

When Pr nt Taft was prepar- ing the tredties with Great Britain and France Mr. Bryan called upon him and presented his peace plan and urged that it be embodied in each treaty, The President w: with the plan and called in tary of State, who likewise expressed approval. During the same visit to ‘ashington Mr. Bryan called upon {James Bryce, the British Ambassa- dor, and laid the plan before him. The plan in part was embodied in those treaties. The Senate did not object to this part of the treaties, but the objection which prevented céen- firmation was made to another pro- | vision. Shortly after this, when visit- ing Lincoln, Nob., President Taft gave ‘eat credit in his speech to Mr, ryan for having suggested this fea- | ture in the treaties.

Even these doubters and scoffers were compelled to think again when, a few months later, in the fall,of 1905, at Tokio, Mr. Bryan, addressing a large and distinguished Japanese au- dience, spoke In favor of an interna- tional peace, The great impression that this speech made upon the Ja- Panese was reflected on the people here, besides attracting wide atten- tion in Europe. The next presentation of the plan was at the Peace Congress in Lon- don, July, 1906, Twenty-six nations were represented at thie Congress. Mr, Bryan received an invitation to the Peace Congress while he was in Norway, before reaching Great Britain, When be arrived in London he laid his plan before Lord Wear- | dale, from whom the invitation was received, and whom Mr. Bryan i met two years before when ‘a Peace Congress was beld in the States, | Lord Weardale at once indorsed :he plan effective and valuable support.
