UNITED STATES IS READY TO JOIN IN ANY PEACE PLAN El.11 (Continued from' Pair One.) GUILTY OP MURDER IN FIRST DEGREE JS WfllTE VERDICT r "''(Continued from Par One.) bt Herman Rosenthal lasted sixteen day while Harry H. Thaw'a first trial occupied forty-tvo days. The Jury, which wai out only on hour and twenty-five minutes, made v compact not to reveal the nature of the deliberations. The young denttat preserved his non chalant demeanor, not only while fao ln; the Jury to learn his fate but after he was led fcack to the Tombs prison. Throughout the trial he seemed un moved by any human feeling- as he recited the details of his deliberate attempts to kill Mr. Peck with the bacilli of various diseases, of his final resort to poison, of his murder of Mrs. Peck by administering disease germs and his attempts to kill his wife's aunt by placing ground glnss and germs In her food. He heard the verdict with out displaying other emotion than re lief that the order was over. When he had given his pedigree to the clerk of the court and had been taken to the Tombs he wa allowed to exercise, lie marched up and down a corridor Whistling "Iji Paloma." Warren W. Waite, of Grand Rapids, the dentist's father, and Frank and Clyde Wo He, his brother, were in the court room when the verdlot wms returned.- Prank Waits led his father from the room without having spoken to the convicted man. Clara Peck Waits, the dentist's wife, whom ha admitted he might have killed had she Inherited her father's fortune, heard the verdict In one of the room adjoining the court room. "Ood' will be done," was her only comment. Percy Peck, son of the murdered man, heard the verdict without giving evidence of any emotion. It was re ported that Peck had said to Assistant District Attorney Brothers, the prose cutor, when the trial began: "I realise the Importance of keep Ing any apparent desire for vengeance on my part out of this case, but I want ito ask you Just this one favor; give me a seat In the court room from the beginning of the trial to the end where I can keep my eye on that man and so, moment by moment. watch the hope fading from hi face. Few persons In the court room if any doubted that the verdict would be guilty. The opinion of his alienists that he was a "moral embeclle" was swept aside by the assertions of the state's alienists that ha was sane and knew the nature and consequences of .'its crime and by the charge of Justice flhearn that "moral Imbecility "had no place In the law. United fttates In 1114 produced paper valued at $384,8515,875. There were 1,289 marriages In Paris, Prance, In December last. great a flood, spread far and wide to eyery quarter of the globe, ha of neoesslty engulfed many a fair province of right that lie very near to us.-- Our Own right nation. the liberties, the privilege, and the property of our people have been pro foundly affected. ' Wvs.ro not mere disconnected lookers-on. The longer the war lasts, the more deeply do w become concerned that It should be brought to an and and the world be permitted to resume it normal life and course again. And when It doe oome to an end we shall be a much ooneened a the. nation at war to aee peace assume an apct of perma nence, ' give promise of day from which the anxiety of uncertainty shall be lifted, bring some assurance that peace and war shall always hereafter be reckoned part of the common In terest of mankind. "We are partici pants, whether w would or not. In the life of the world. The interests of all nation are our own also. We are partners with the rest. What af fect mankind 1 Inevitably our affair a well a the affair of the nation of Europe and of Asia. Cams Suddenly "On observation on 'the cause of the present war we are at liberty to make and to make- It may throw some light forward tippn the future, as well a backward upon the past. It Is plain that Uil war could have come only a It did, suddenly and out of secret counsel, without warning to the world, without discussion, without any of the deliberate movements of counsel with which It would seem mat ural to approach so stupendous i oontest. It Is probable that It had been foreseen Just what would happen. Just what alliances would be formed, Jm4 what forces arrayed against one an other, those who brought the great contest on would have been glad to substitute conference for force. If we ourselves had been afforded some op portunity to appraise the belligerent of the attitude which It would be our duty to take, of the policies and prac Uces against which we would feel bound to use all our moral and eco nomlo strength, and In certain circum stances even our physical strength also, our own contribution to the coun sel which might have averted the struggle would have been considered worth weighing and regarding. "And the lesson which the shock of being taken by surprise In a matter so deeply vital to all the nattona of the world has made poignantly clear Is that the peace of the world must henceforth depend upon a new and more wholesome diplomacy. Only when the great natlona of the world have reached some sort of agreement as to what they hold to be funda mental to their common Interest and a to some feasible method of acting In concert when any nation or group of nations seeks to disturb those fun damental things, can we feel that civilisation 1 at last in a war of Jus tifying It existence and claiming to b finally established, t It I clear that nation -must in tie future be governed by the same high code of Donor that w demand of in dividual "We must Indeed, In the very am breath with which we avow this con viction admit that w have ourselves upon occasion In the past been of fender against th law of diplomacy which w thus forecast, but our con vlctlon 1 not the less clear, but rathe th more clear, on that account, im this war ha accomplished nothing else for th benefit of the world, It ha at least disclosed a great moral necessity and set forward the think ing of the statesmen of the world by a whole age. . Repeated utterance of the leading eta teamen of most of the great nation now engaged In war have mad It plain that their thought has come to this, that the principle of public right must henceforth take precedence over th individual inter est of particular nation, and that th nation of the world must In some way band themselves together to see that that right prevails as against any sort of selfish aggression; that henceforth alliance must not be sst up against alliance, understanding against understanding, but that there must be a common agreement for a common object, and that at the heart of that common object must He the Inviolable right of peoples and of mankind. The nation of the world have become each other's neighbors. It Is to their Interest that they should understand each other. In order that they may understand each other, it 1 imperative that they should agree to co-operate In a common cause, and that they should so act that the guid ing principle of that common cause shall be even handed and Impartial Justice. Thought of America. "This is undoubtedly the thought of America, . This Is what we ourselves will say when there comes proper occasion to say- It. . In the dealing of nations with one another arbitrary force must be rejected and we must move forward to the thought f the modern world, the thought of which peace Is the very atmosphere. That thought constitutes a chief part of th passionate conviction of Ameri ca. "We believe these fundamental things: First, that every people has a right to choose the sovereignty un der which they ehall live. Like other nations, we have ourselves no doubt once and again offended against that principle when for a little while con trolled by selfish passion, as our franker historians have been honor able enough to admit; but it has be come more and more our rule of life and action. Second, that the small states of the world have a right to enjoy the same respect for their sov elgnty and for their territorial in-. tegrity that great and powerful na tions expect and insist upon. And third, that the world has a right to be free from every disturbance of Its peace that ha its origin in aggression and disregard of the rights of people and nations. 1 - "So sincerely do we believe In these things that I am sure that I speak the mind and wish of the people of America whe'n I say that the United States Is willing to become a partner In any feasible association of nation formed in order to realise those ob jects and make them secure against violation. "There Is nothing that the United "Monarch of A 11 1 Surv ey No! No ! That bold statement did not origi nate with us. Neither is it our attitude. But we do want a share of your business, and in exchange for it we will give our best in effort to please you, in courtesy, and above all, in Drug Store efficiency.

We are willing, on the contrary, to limit ourselves along with them to a prescribed course of duty and respect pr the right of others which will check any selfish passion of our own, aa it will check any ag gressive Impulse of theirs. "If it should ever be our privilege to suggest or Initiate a movement for peace among the nations now at war, I am sure that the people of the United States would wish their gov ernment to move along these lines: First, such a settlement with regard to their own immediate Interests as the belligerents may agree upon. We have nothing material of any kind to ask for ourselves and are quite aware that we are In no sense or degree parties to the present quarrel. Our interest 1 only in peace and It fu ture guarantees. Second, an univer sal association of the nations to main tain the inviolate security of the highway of the seas for the common and unhindered use of all the nations of the world and to yrevent any war begun either contrary to treaty coven ants or without warning and full sub mission of the cause to the opinion of the world a virtual guarantee Of territorial integrity and political in dependence. v ' "But I did not come here let me repeat, to discus a program. I came only to avow a creed and give ex pression to the confidence I feel that the world is even now upon the eve common force will be brought Into ex istence which ehall safeguard right as the first .and most fundamental Inter est of alt peoples and all governments, when coercion shall be summoned not to the service of political ambition or selfish hostility, but to the service of a common order, a common Justice and a common peace. Ood grant that the dawn of that day of frank deal ing and of settled peace, concord and co-operation may be near at hand." FOUND NOT GUtLTT. WASHINGTON, May S7. Charle O.
