held in Brussels-a 'peace conference that attracted less
attention' and. accomplished less specific, and visible: re
sults, yet that was not unimportant, and whose delibera

the world.
The chief work of the Brussels
formulate a model .arbitration treaty, and a plan for a
" permanent peace congress, to be submitted to the Hague
" conference on its reconvention. i . v - 4'
One of the most active delegates to this Brussels con

last 12 years representative in congress from Missouri,
1 : -ional pgaceegi-jature, affirming
he expressed President Roosevelt
American people were now desirous of joining in such a
plan, and saying, however.-that if other nations did not
join in the adoption of some such measure for the pres
ervaftonf the world's peace the United States would
construct the greatest of the world's navies and display
military and particularly naval power in proportion to
its wealth and resources. - Mr. Bartholdt aaid in part:
'J "European governments have choice between joining
the United States in a union or witnessing the growth of
. a naval power in America calculated to make the lovers
of peace there and elsewhere tremble at the possible
fcrostitutkm of this power to evil ends by ambitious men.
Nothing can prevent the development of a great navy in
America except the early creation 'and rapid growth in
power and' prestige of a 'parliament

THE PLAY
Truet thla man Brady for novlty I
He never yet haa allied hia name with
a dramatic . article that didn't fairly
scintillate -with newness. . And In 'The
Pit.? presented tha first time in Portland
last night at the Msrqusm. he has sur.
psased them all. It Is as near "tha,
areat American dramaaa w may hope
to gat. No roan Is acquainted with a
stronger atory of modern, metropolitan
Ufa and no maa want to see a better
Play.. ' '" ' '.' '
- Not that ' the ' piece waa written by
Brady: oh. no. It ia a 'dramatiaatlon by
Channing pollock of Frank Norrls' popu
lar novel. - But In every acene and
eyllsble, It aeemed to me.' there waa tha
reflection of a producers "master hand
and that waa Brady's. , '' -
Th curtain ia raised on tha foyer
of th ..Auditorium In Chicago during
tha grand opera aeaaon. Snatchek from
th masters ar aung by people who
really know' how to alng. Tha audience
la expectant desirous. There enters
Curtis . Jsdwlq, stockbroker and busi
ness man, who determines to win Laura
Dearborn, because we suspect some
one alae wanta her. Ha plays shrewd
gam, thia Jadwln. And ha wlna the
girl, before the third act begins. It is a
delightful love atory, but love I -its
least dramatic feature. Jadwln, the
first thing w know, is'besd over heela
in the Stock market and neglecting this
wife; and there Is one quiet little
ollmax a trifle greater than the others,
because It rings true, when . the. wife
exclaims, with a wealth of ' pat hoe.'
"Success!" at the cost of her unhappl
neae her neglect . '
.It Is at this time that a rival lover
of forme -year becomes a eerlous ele
ment In tha drama. Ha nrgea an elop
nut : He haa already represented the
husband - aa a worm-ilka creature and
she la Juat a trifle too willing to re
spond to hia appeal. . She puts on bei

broker's office and tha mighty moB

attempts to win the 'day by buying fat
beyond hia . resources, even after his

scenes in the play. In . fact and each ot
them, .la of more intereat than ita pr

the ' book. ' is Intensely dramatic, but at
