Great Factor in Solution of International Disputes CHICAGO June I do not believe the man tells me that trade relations and business exigency prevent future wars among the civilized nations It is intellect that will stop them and intellect alone Education makes for peace more than all the business in the world Ambassador Jules of France made this statement to-night at a banquet given in his honor at the Chicago Club at he had listened to a eulogistic toast praising him for his services in conducting the negotiations that led xip to the treaty which ended the Spanish-American war M Cambon discussed many interesting subjects principal among which were his horror of war and the best means of ing It I disclosing any State he continued when I say that my ences among the diplomats of many lands has strengthened the belief I have always held that arbitration boards not swayed by business or sentiment but by intellect alone must of a surety bring about a peaceful solution of the most difficult questions The educational advantages that America possesses and that are constantly leading her along the path of intellect must make her a great factor in the con- servation of the peace of the world I leave for France on a vacation next and will then present a report to my Government advocating the further combination of the branches of the Alliance with American universities The time has come when the two great republics of the world should know each other better I still find among your people the idea that Paris is France You must get that im- pression out of your heads We prefer to turn some of the tide of the American student travel to Europe away from man and toward our own I do not depreciate the wonderful educational advantages of Germany but we want Americans to realize that for the artistic the philosophical and the natural they must turn to France M Cambon will leave here to-morrow on a trip Ste Marie and from there return to Washington WANTS UNIVERSAL PEACE Edward
