the achievements of the leggue dur-
ing each 12 months. Thrcd of these
have been published and atiourth is

In acknowledging gratefully “the
signal honor conferred upon me by
the committee of Judges and the
generous reward that comes with
that honor.” Dr. Levermore said he
felt "deeply conscious of the binding
obligation which such an honor
places upon the recipient."
"The experience that culminates
this evening," Dr. LevermOle allied.
"constitutes for me both a crown
and a. challenge. It calls to contin-
ued service in the ranks. among
those who are ever marching tow-,
ard universal international canolier-
aiion for the common welfare and
for the maintenance of peace with
justice under law."
Both Parties Supported Ideal. —
Lia-operation with other nations
in the days of the two Hague con—-
ferences. Dr. Levermore asserted.
“was equally acceptable to both of
our great parties. Such Democrats
as Judge Parker. William Jennings
Bryan, George Gray and John Baa-
sctt Moore supported if. Among Re-
publicans it was powerfully promot-
ed from 4he seats of the mighty by
Presidents McKinley. Roosevelt and
Taft. by Andrew \V. \Vliitc. John
Ray. Joseph H. Choate. and. last but
not least. Elihu Root. '
"Unfortunately since that time
that.eariler happy accord has been-
broken." he said. “this beautiful
ideal-has been onvelopedin unlovely
disguises of partisan ambitions and
rivalries and cnvenorqedby personal
animositlcs. Dnt'~ beneath these
alien wrappings the spirit yet lives."
The peace award winner paid tri-
bute to former Presidents Wilson
and Harding. saying, ,"it seems to
me that all these statesmen have
been responding. some more con-
spicuously than'others. to under-
lying and controlling forces of can
tripetul international gravitation to-
ward bet'ter Democratic unity.
“Théso are the forces which made
The Hague conferences possible and
which made our entrance into the
great war finally inevitable. These
are the forces which are do? by day

When Mr. Leverinore concluded
his address. Melville E. Stone. New

meeting. read to Mr. Levermore theJ
following telegram from Mr. Bolt:
"Will you please convey sin-
cere condolences to the au of
the American peace award winning
plan and tell him I meant well. But
what with the overwhelming pub-
licity which will be his portion. to
say nothing of the hundreds of ac.
commoduting persons who will tell
him how to spend the money. I
envy him. The only enlightening
experience I see ahead of him is

that laboring under the delusion
that he is a free born American
citizen he may have his personal
motives investigated by a Senate
committee." -
Dig At Moses.
Introducing Miss Lupe. Chairman
Stone said that Miss Lane is a re-
markable woman and had earned
the respect of every member of the
policy committee and "of’ Senator
Moses of New: Hampshire.”
Miss Lane said she wished to an-
nounce that approximately 15 plan
representing some of the more not
accepted for the prize will be pub-
lished in the near future.
This publication. she said. will be
made by the American peace award
with the consent of the authors. and
any profit accruing will be divided
among the 15.
.Mr. Bolt had requested. 5110 con-
tinued, that friends of the plan make
it clear to the public that the Amer-
ican peace award is not in politics.
"It remained." she declared. "for
an investigating committee of the
United States Senate to suggest that
the award was a. political device."
Another request. according to Miss
Lape of Mr. Bok's was that “if this
Senate investigation is intended to
interfere with the referendum now
going forward. will the friends of
the winning plan see to it that the
purpose is not accomplished?"
