S. DIPLOMATS TOOK LEAD iU By WILLIAM ATHERTON DU PUY WASHINGTON, Aug, 31. That the world had almost arranged a method of preventing war when the present great calamity In Europe broke forth is a fact that has Just been brought to light here The President's message In answer to the Pope brings the world one step nearer that concert of nations that was then on ' the verge of becoming a reality and adds a peculiar Interest to the possibilities that were missed because nations acted too slowly. That group of International statesmen of which James Brown Scott, secretary of the American delegation to the last Hague con ference; Elihu Root and Nicholas Murray Butler, are members, now reveals that which came so near happening. In another six months, they say, the Supreme Court of the World might have been a reality. In another year there is little question that it would have been in operation. The na tions wero in tho very process of setting it up. They had missed one great op portunity seven years earlier when this, the salvation of tlft world, was kept from be coming a reality because of tho dissenting voice of one hot-headed Latin-American pro- -vtestor an obscure individual who may al most be held responsible for all the slaugh ter, that has followed. 1 'The story of tho methods through which irtpUhe vvqrld had about come to agreement ai PK to tiie machinery to use In transacting Its common business and the failure of its setting up will some day become one of the recognized tragic failures of history. The story may here be told as a sort ot introduction to thoke agencies toward which the times are tending and which will prob ably be tho means of the co-ordination of nations after the war. London believes that a great battle is In prospect on the west front. This opinion is based partly ori the fact that General Maurice, director of the British military operations, frankly declares that tho "evening of a great battle" Is com ing and partly on past experience. A comparative lull has existed along tho British line for more than a week, and In the past this condition of affairs has always preceded tho launching of a new offensive by Field Marshal Halg. On tho Italian front Cadorna's troops have gained ground on the northern slopes of Monte San Gabrlcle, the strong Austrian position in the Gorlzia sector. Itomo reports 635 additional prisoners taken in yesterday's fighting. BRITISH REPULSE FOE'S RAW ON ARRAS FRONT LONDON, Aug. 31. After a long period of comparative inac tivity along the lower end of the Arras front, the Germans suddenly assaulted the British positions around Arloux, but were driven back, the War Office reported today. The attack was made in a heavy mist, which has accompanied the intermittent rainstorms on tho western front during the last few days. Elsewhere along the British front In France and West Flanders the rain and fog have held up tho operations ot the British, Belgian and Portuguese armies.

President Wlloon's reply to Tope Benedict stands ns the Joint answer of nil the Allies, Lord Robert Cecil, Minister of Blockade, Indicated today "President Wilson's noto was a magnifi cent uttcrnnce," Lord Cecil declared. "I don't thlnlt It can bo Improved upon It may mako It unnecessary for the Allies to reply now. The question has not jet been decided. "We entirely agree that the real criminal Is tho German military forces and the German Goornment, but It may turn out thnt the German people were the accessory after the fact." As to the economic league of Allies after the war, agreed upon at tho Paris con ference and seemingly attacked by Presi dent Wilson In his references to "no sel fish and exclusive economic leagues" after the war. tho Blockade Minister said Kng land still supported the league plan. Properly understood, ho explained, it was purely a defensive measure. The Al lies never proposed dismemberment of Aus tria for tho purpose of punishing that na tion. They proposed, he said, only libera tion of subject nations. ft. i NATIONS AT FIRST RELUCTANT The nations of the world, when they met In their Initial conference at The Hague In 1809, were reluctant to pledge themselves ' to any considerable degree of co-operation, according to James Brown Scott, who Is probably the nation's best authority on those conferences. They went no further than to set forth a possible method of establishing a court of arbitration. Years passed and no nation volunteered to refer any disagree- h Went to 'this court, which existed only on paper. It might never have received any grist for Us mill If America had not taken 't sthe lead and if Theodore Roosevelt had not 5,w asslenerl in it nfrtnin nnflrnt ritantltpq that existed between the United States and other imnuns. rnese cases gavo it actual me. Other nations followed suit, and this court j " of arbitration later settled nearly a score ,. of International disputes. h ' Those wIra RtntnRmen In Amwlcn vahn had j been looking to a satisfactory working out f a method of settling international nrgu- ', ments knew that arbitration was only a makeshift. They knew that the history of civilization showed that men first fought because of their disagreements, .then arbi trated them, and finally referred them to a competent and permanent court. Such a court was obviously the proved means, In the course of world events, of settling dis putes. America saw that nations should go as far as had Individuals in establishing the machinery for adjusting difficulties. So' when the American delegation was leaving for the second Hague conference In 1807, EUhu Root, then Secretary of State, instructed that delegation that it should fight from start to finish for a permanent court of arbitral justice a Supreme Court of the World. Joseph H. Choate was the head of that mission and James Brown Bcott, who now reviews tho situation, was its secretary. The Americans fought through the long months th'at followed for the one thing the establishment of this court of nations. It convinced every delegates of very nation preneait that this was the solu tion of the great problem. UNANIMOUS FOR PEACE COURT In the end the forty-four nations repre sented at the second Hague conference Voted unanimously for the establishment of such a court. Thn t,nlutlnn of the riddle of ; the ages seemed almost accomplished. That vnmg was almost a reality which is to result tter the Bpllling of oceans of blood in the years that have since Intervened. There were infinite details to be arranged, however, Jn getting the court Into actual operation. One ot these details had to do Good Day for the Sox ATHLETICS All. It. II. O.
