This line, calculated to fatten the
part of any vaudeville performer, be-
came diplomatically serious In the ex-
treme. Under McKinley a "Joint
Commission" was appointed to con-
sider twelve topics in dispute between
the British Empire and the American
Republic. One of the twelve was the
Alaskan boundary. The representa-
tives cf the Empire refused to come
to terms on any of the others until

was a Commission equally divided be-

It turned out. after all, that Roose-
velt did not do the arbitrating be-
tween Germany and Venezuela. The
Hague Court was in existence. It
needed business. Roosevelt had al-
ready given it Its first case. That
was a dispute between the United
States and Mexico in the year 1902
over “The Pious Fund of the Cali-
fornias.” It amounted to a claim
against Mexico Uy certain American
Roman Catholic bishops. The Hague

1902. Its purpose was indicated both
by Roosevelt and by Hay. Roosevelt

Great Britain bowed to the applause

from the most distinguished of French

summing up Roosevelt's greatest con-
tributions to realistic Pacifism, said:
"President Roosevelt has given four
striking lessons to Europe: first, in
having brought before the Arbitra-

States over the Pious Fund claims.

conflict between Russia and Japan

Because Roosevelt was so ready to i
use garrisons and lawr-courts to pro- j
tect the Japanese in California, it be- i
gan to be thought in Japan that the
United States feared Japan. There-
fore in November the United States
fleet started for Japan. It was Roose- i
velt's greatest service to peace. Ho :

I a thing which, by comparison, was a j

j ing between two spent duellists. He in-
