busy he was, he always managed to 

 spare time to see even the lowliest of 

 them, and his hearty help and advice is 

 gratefully acknowledged by journalists 

 not only in Holland but throughout 

 Europe. The bust is the result of the 

 desire of the Dutch journalists to com- 

 memorate the memory of their great 

 confrere. It is peculiarly fitting that it 

 should be placed in the Temple of 

 Peace, which his strenuous efforts to 

 bring about international goodwill have 

 so largely helped to build. That the 

 memorial should be from those of his 

 own craft will gratify journalists 

 throughout the world. 



are pictured in coloured glass the an- 

 cient horrors of war — the frenzied spear- 

 man, the blood-stained sword that 

 spares not venerable age, the terrified 

 young mother with her children, " the 

 gatewav wrenched asunder," the looted 

 treasured, the piled-up corpses ; and far 

 above companion window panels of 

 Terror and Death. 



THE GREAT HALL OF JUSTICE. 



From surveying the stairway one 

 passes along the beautiful bright cor-

 the sculptured Valhalla of the heroes 

 of Peace are a Jurist, a constitutional 

 Monarch, a Labour leader and a Jour- 

 nalist. 



THE GRAND STAIRCASE. 



You pass the main entrance by the 

 beautifully-wrought-iron door and are 

 faced at once by the grand marble stair- 

 case leading up to the floor above. It 

 is lit up by a group of stained glass 

 windows, showing Peace supreme shed- 

 ding rays of golden light on Art and 

 Science,' Land and Sea, Industry and 

 Commerce, while away to left and right 



and turns naturally to the right until 

 one enters the great Court of Justice. 

 This is the largest hall in the entire 

 building. It is about 74 ft. long by 

 about 41 ft. broad, and rises to the
