NEW YORK, April 17. The first ses sion of tho National Peace and Arbitra tion .Congress ended tonight after a thrco days' session, with two largo ban quets, one nt tho Hotel Astor and tho other at tho Waldorf-Astoria The ovent of greatest interest was tho dec oration of Androw Carnegie with tho cross of the Legion of Honor by tho French government, represented by Baron D 'Estourncllcs do Constant, in appreciation of his work for pcaco and tho gift of tho palace ut Tho Hague. Carnegie, who is prcsidcut of tho con- jross, tonight gave out a statement as 'o the result. Although not so desig nated, tho statoment constitutes a reply fo some suggestions contained in a let tor which. President Roosevelt addressed to tho congress on tho opening day. Carncgio quotes these statements as "obligations" and answers them as fol lows: "Our peace conference has brought three objections clearly before us. First, that nations cannot submit all questions to arbitration. "Tho answer is: Six of them have recently done bo by treaty Denmark and tho Netherlands, Chile and Argen tine, Norway and Sweden. "Second, that juslf is higher than peace. Can't Judgo Own Caso "Answer: The first principle of nat ural justica forbids mon to be judges when thoy nro parties to the issue. All law rests on this throughout tho civil ized world. Were a judge to sit on a asc in which ho was secretly interested ho would at once be dishonorably expcll sd from office. If auy civilian refused a submit a disputo with a noighbor to disinterested parties and insisted up on being his own judge ho would vio late tho first principle of justice. If ho resorted to forco in defense of his right to judge he would be dishonored as a breaker of the law. Thus peace with justico i secured tnXnigh arbitra tion, out never ay ono ot me parties jitting as judge. "Third, it is neither peace nor jus tice, but righteousness, ihat shall exalt a nation. What Is Just IsN Right "Answer: Righteousness is simply doing what is right. What is just is al ways right; what is unjust is always wrong. It being the first principle of justico that men shall not bo thoir own judges, to refuse to submit to a judgo or arbitrator is unjust, hence not right, for the essence of righteousness is justice. Men who place justice or righteousness abovo peaco, practically proclaim that thoy will commit an injus tice and discard righteousness by consti tuting themsolves solo judges of their 9wn cause, in violation of law, justice ind right. Tho demand that interested parties sit in judgment is wickedness that dogrades a nation." About six hundred guosts were pres ent at the Waldorf dinner. Seth Low announced messages from the kings of Norway and Italy, the president of Switzerland and tho Nobel pcaco com mission. William J.

"You say you havo not been given citizenship, Tho president has rocom mended that citizenship bo given, but there have been congressional difficul ties with reference to this matter.

You havo,tho writ of habeas cor pus, trial by jury, and when you nro in n1 foreign country tho snmo flag pro tects you.
