The Hague, Aug. 20.—The capital of the Netherlands has put on holiday attire in honor of the great international peace congress which opened today.
The American Peace Society is represented at the meeting by a distinguished delegation headed by Dr. David Starr Jordan, president of Leland Stanford University.
At the conclusion of the sessions the latter part of next week the delegates will participate in the elaborate ceremonies attending the dedication of the Palace of Peace, which is to be the permanent home of the international arbitration tribunal. Andrew Carnegie, who donated the money for the erection of the building, will be present at the dedication.
The week following the dedication of the Palace of Peace will be given over to the seventeenth conference of the Interparliamentary Union. This organization, which was founded in 1887, aims to perform the same functions in the way of international parliamentary action as The Hague tribunal is now performing for the executive branches of the governments of the world. Its membership is confined to actual members of the legislative bodies of the various nations.
