FOES OF WAR ADOPT
STRONG RESOLUTIONS.
(Continued from Page 1).
fathers because they were always sub
ject to encroachments of their pow
erful neighbors.
If you bear these historical facts
mind you will easily understand,
whv we believe that we must keep our
army and navy at full strength and
a high state of efficiency. Tt is
one of the most difficult problems for
the student of history to regard the
affairs of foreign nations with that
fine sympathetic insight, which en
ables him to understand the feelings
nations and men differing in edu
cations, habits and principles from
himself.
Every nation follows more or less
distinctive traditions of thought. They
all declare that thev are the most
peaceful nation of the world, but they
only believe this of themselves and
not of others, because they are often
ignornnt of the disposition, purposes
and qualities of other people. There
fore one must 1udge nations like in
dividuals bv their nets and not ac
cording to prejudices.
In the hundred years that have
passed since we became a nation in
arms we oniv went to war when it
was absolutely necessary for the pur
pose of the unification of Germany
This object was worth fighting for
and could not be obtained by peaceful
means. If our neighbors had let
Germany unite without Interfering,
we would have had no war at all
And since we are a united nation, we
never went to war. We wish to mind
our own business and not to be dls
turbed in it. We are happy and con
tented and are therefore no menace
to neighboring nations. But our
geographical situation and the lessons
we learned from an eventful history
have taught us to believe that George
Washington's words still hold good,
who. as vou all know, said: "To be
prepared for war is one of the most
effectual means of preserving peace."
Onlv twice during the last forty
years did our soldiers have to fight.
On one occasion they fought shoulder
to shoulder with the troops of the
United States for the cause of civiliza
tion in China. This expedition can
not be called a war, neither can one
use this expression when we speak of
the rebellion in South West Africa,
which had to be subdued. Moreover
in both cases which I mentioned the
national army was not sent to war.
Our troops in China and Africa were
composed of volunteers. It was not
even possible to enlist the great num
ber of officers and soldiers who de
sired to Join the flag.
I often hear our Emperor spoken of
in this country as a war Lord. You
must, however, not forget, that al
though he has reigned for 21 vears at
the head of the strongest army of
the world he never made a war. Our
armaments are intended to preserve
peace for our own people and so far
as possible to prevent war from
breaking out in other parts of the
world where we have interests to pro
tect.
Onlv a short time ago the Balkan
question brought Europe to the verge
of war. Peace was preserved chiefly
on account of the fact, that the whole
power of Germany was thrown on the
scale of peace. Consequently all war
like tendencies vanished which had
sprung up h/re and there. Such good
work Germany has again and again
during the last 40 years done for tile
cause of peace. The success of this
work would, however, be compro
mised, If the efficiency of the German
armaments could be called in ques
tion.
Let me close mv address, ladies and
gentlemen, by thanking vou for your
kind attention.
Secretary Ballinger's Address.
Mr. Ballmger spoke in part as fol
lows:
'Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentle
men:
'•I am commissioned by the presi
dent of the United States to bear to
vou tidings of good will and encour
agement in your praiseworthy efforts
for universal peace.
'"The first president of the United
States wrote this message of peace:
'Observe good faith and justice
towards all nations, cultivate
peace and harmony with all. Re
ligion and morality enjoin this
counsel. It will be worthy of a
free, enlightened, and, at no dis
tant period, a great nation, to give
to mankind the magnanimous and
too often novel example of a peo
people always guided by exalted
justice and benevolence.'
"This doctrine by its continual reit
eration during the history of this re
public has acquired almost the force
and sanctity of law.
'Let us ever remember,' said Pres
ident McKinley, 'that our interest is
in concord, not conflict that our true
glory rests in the triumphs of peace,
not those of war.'
Universal Peace Not Utopian.
"The hope for universal peace is
hardly Utopian under possible condi
tions, it is eminently practicable,
hence to learn these possibffe condi
tions and how to establish them is the
purpose for which our conference is
held and your efforts so earnestly
put forth.
"Again, if your work is to have its
just rewavd, the ancient ideals and es
timates of men must be changed they
must not be martial they must arise
out of the victories of peace.
"Now and then there breaks forth
a great conflagration which the agen
cies of men seem powerless to arrest
and which only dies out after consum
ing everything combustible in its path
way so it seems to have been with
the passions of men, that they at
times become so inflamed that they
are quenched only by exhaustion
through war.
A World Peace Formula.
"The peace of the world must seem
to he dependent (1) upon the citizen
ship of the nations being of that char
acter which would insure the creation
of just laws and their enforcement
(2) upon a type of international citi
zenship which would insure the crea
tion of just international laws, and a
substantial tribunal for their enforce
ment.
"It seems to me that any formula
which neglects these elements must
fall short of preventing the evils
aimed at."
Horse Takes Postmaster Home.
Waterloo, April 80.—Postmaster W.
M. Sindlinger was stricken with apo
plexy on the way home from the post
office yesterday afternoon. A faithful
horse he drove for years conveyed him
safely home and was found waiting in
front of the house when members of
the family discovered him in an un
conscious condition.
OTTUlltWA OOTJKEEE
WILL CUT OUT 2
LOCAL 0 TRAINS
NOS. 18 AND 11 WILL BE DISCON­
TINUED MAY 23, BUT NEW
SERVICE IS PROMISED.
While the changes in ihe Burling
ton time card which are scheduled to
become effective May 23 will alter
traveling conditions all over the trunk
lines of the road, the new card will
be marked by the absence of two
trains which will be especially felt in
Ottumwa. These are numbers 18 and
11, put on several months ago by M.
M. Reno, division passenger agent, at
the request of the Ottumwa Commer
cial association. The trains were to
run as an experiment, to accommo
date shoppers in Albia and points this
side, who wished to do their trading
in Ottumwa No 18 running early in
the morning from Albia to Ottumwa,
and No. 11, which used to arrive here
at 10 p. m., from Burlington, being
extended to Albia to accommodate the
business visitors on their return. The
trains have not proved to be self sus
taining and will be taken off May
23.
The change will not work an entire
loss on Ottumwa business houses, as
a new east bound passenger. No. 16,
now a mail train, will at the same
time beginning running regularly on
a later scnedulo, leaving Chariton
about 7 o'clock, Albia about 7:30 and
arriving in Ottumwa near 9 a. m. By
this train Ottumwa gets service from
the larger towns west and also a
first class daylight train to Chicago,
arriving the big city at 4:30 p. m.
