'The President ali pointed out the necessity for maintaining a large navy as a, preventive , of war, He said. "We are not engaged in 'war with anybody. I wish we could .be. assurd that we never would be. by the adop. tlon of some treaties "that 1 negotiated with England and Wanre In order to make them fashionable the world over. We never can dispense with an army and with a navy unill every nation can bp. assured that there U some method of determining International controver. fUa by pearenblH means. , "Now, my proposal Is that we have a coprt. suttlelently powerful anil made so ty agreement between alienations lno which any nation ,uggrleved may call any other nation and bave a hearing nnd a Judgment and nn execution of that Judgment according to Interna tional law.

OAMRRIMiK HWIINOS, P.I., Oct. 26. Be- foru crowds from nearby towns and a great company brought here by the Polish National Alliance of America the formal exercises arranged'' for the I'e'dl cation of the new Polish College, said to be the first of so ambitious a plan In'the I 'nltecl States, took place to-day. Th) fact that the country's President was to be the guest of honor nnd chief speaker of the day had been long announced, and early arrivals came In nil morning by Haiti and farm team and automo bile. President Tuft, In his mUlress ut the dedication, told his nudlenie that If such an Institution as they were now wel mining Into life wcie to have the effect of separating Into an isolated commit, nlty the Poles who come to this country or prereuilng them fium lejirnlnit tho English language and minimizing their seiiM .of loyally to Hie Com riimeiu and lie land of their adoption, then it might he ('iiieatlonul "how far tbose of us who r not Poles anil whoi-'e, ..III st Interest tF that of tin. connti at laifje," shouM i ni iMii ;i t-- iih effort "IJxperlrncB has shuwii,". i'srlalm.e'1' 'he President. "Hint the free' air of merlcsi i n ines a natural tendenc on the pari of those who come to live I with tta and ''enjoy our Institutions to learn tbe language, to 'amalgamate with other peoples and to take an ac tive interest In the polltkn of tho country." Many a family nf foreigners, he raid, found that its children (prickly picked up the English, speech, and if It would preserve 'Its' ow;h 'language; this must be insisted on by family discipline, The President referred at some length to the former hind of Poland tying without natural boundaries In the centre of Europe, to bo divided among three countries having moie stnble governments; hut forgetful of gratitude due the Polpa for once saving Europe. The territory In lis greatest length exceeded, 700 miles, he declared. It had had a landed, nobility and a peasant class, nnd there seemed to have been no burgher or middle class engaged In business a.s middlemen. This function' was iM'Tformed by (lermans and for eigners who lived in thd cities. The' government control was in a Diet of the landed aristocracy. Tho Diet se lected the King. "The Jealousy and dissension umong thp nobles, tempted other Govprnments, to propose candidates," said the Presi dent, "for the sovereignty nf Poland, and there were a number of such can didates elected. The rivalry that the elections engendered and the presence tliatj It seemed to invite of large co horts for each candidate contributed to the turbulent scenes that attended every election." That these things had made possible the partition of the ancient kingdom the speaker said he was cfivlnced, "and their .strength as the cause of the mlstorttmes In the history of Poland cannot be escaped." "It is Indeed a sad commentary on the' gratitude of peoples anil nations," said the President later, "to read the history of John Sobleskl, the greatest of the Polish kings, and note how the fate of Europe' h'ung Uon the imitest that he with his comparatively small force carried on successfully against the hordes of warriors that islam and the tirand Turk were enabled to thro.v across the Austrian and Polish bound aries. "The te'nder letters which Sobleskl wrote to bin wife describing the vic tory at Vienna gleam like sunlight In the history of Europe. And when In later years In nn effort to rescue his country Thaddcus Kosciusko won an other battle, which, however, was fruit less Jn 'its1 remtlts,- we. are rejoiced In studying his character to find the same knightly chivalry. "And It furnishes exquisite pleasure to an American," exclaimed the speaker, "to kuqw that Kos,elnsko. und another allinr, Pole! Pulaski, were attracted to this country to aid In Its struggle for liberty and Independence In the war of the. Kevolutioh; that Pulaski. gave up his life for his adopted country, and tliat his ushes now Wat In the soil of the nation thai he helped and sacrificed all to create.

As to artlstldtcontrlbntlon by Poland to America as well as to Europe the President sald: "Thn (rent body , of our people are of English descent and they have Inherited that tendency to take their pleasures sadly which was characteristic of the Puritans" and Indeed of all Englishmen. The I'ole.s'.'n're'Celts, or rather they iir.i Slavs, and like the Celts they have the philosophy of getting pleasure out if life that the Puritan descended Ameri can may profitably acquire. They are artists In, every sense. . "Chopin and the llsl of composer f nni sure I may be excused from attempt ing to pronounce huve furnished to the world an evidence of the Polish love of ha'nrlony-.- Polish artists and poets all confirm the love of beauty. They prop erly claim- as one of ihelr nation the great philosopher and astronomer who set our Ideas right with reference to the .universe, Copernicus, and finally, of re. cent years, the novelist who palnti history Into his stories, Slenklewler.."
