Yet withal there are many things to deplore, notwithstanding all the progress made, all the knowledge gained, yet nations still persist in fighting each other, and refusing negotiations of peace, therefore one cannot help thinking there is still much to be done before the dawn of the Millennial day. There certainly is in the outlook from our point of view a better prospect for uniting forces for any great than ever before, and this is hopeful. One of the good points made by President Roosevelt in his recent address to a delegation of Trades Unionists was, "You must remember that arbitration You must also considisn't everything. er conciliation." When the second Hague conference convenes, which will be called by President Roosevelt it is said, as soon as the Eastern war ends, the measures taken will not only extend the use of arbitration world-moveme- nt but consider the nature of conciliation. Another measure to be proposed is "The formation of a World's Advisory Congress composed of delegates of all the nations to meet every two or three years to consider international questions and .to international laws." is This a very large subject, but it is one of the most intense interest, and women have considered this question of internationalism ever since, if not before the great International Council of Women was organized in Washington in 1888. It is to the writer a very fascinating subject. Some women have grasped a few of the elements of this subject of internationalism, and many more might if they would give some attention to it. We are apt to talk of the betterment of the whole world, and we try to teach patriotism to the children iu the schools, and to the grown up people in the various organizations, and it don't require a very great degree of college education or learning to intermaster the subject of world-wid- e nationalism; a little geography, history, psychology, some every-dalogic and a desire for justice for all mankind would he necessary, to be sure, but the vast amount of good that has been accomplished already by the international societies among women proves what great results might come from similar movements of both men and women. The Peace and Arbitration International Congress is perhaps the best illustration we have to offer at the present time, and the Peace meetings held under the auspices of the National and International cil are helping to educate the people in this one important line of internationalism, and this spirit will eventually come to be a power for good against the evils that prevail in the world. rec-comme- nd y EDITORIAL NOTES.
