the arbitration of the boundary dispute with Great Britain, served as Minister to Eng land, was president of the third international conference at Rio de Janeiro in 1906, and was a member of the Hague Court of Arbitration. Secretary of State Knox attracted the attention of the world not only b his pro posal for the neutralization of the anchurian railways, which was declined by Russia and Japan, but also by the proposition that the Jurisdiction and character of the Prize Court provided for by one of the conventions of the Second Peace Conference at the Hague be enlarged so that it may become a perma nent international court sitting for the adju dication of controversies arising in ace as well as in war. If this excellent p n were adopted by the powers, two beneﬁcent re sults could be accomplished. In the ﬁrst place, the International Prize Court, the treaty for which the powers refused to ratif on technical grounds, will be establishe, technical objections no longer standing in the way. In the second place, the other court oontem lated by the Second Peace Confer ence, t e Court of Arbitral Justice, will be constituted, the same jud es sitting in both

courts. An account of t e pro'ect will be found in American ournal of nternational Law, v. 4, pp. 163-6 Jan. 1910).
