Storm In Peace Congress.

New York Times 100 years ago today, September 29, 1912:
Loud Protests Greet Condemnation of Italian Aviators.
    GENEVA Sept. 28.— Another stormy scene marked the concluding session today of the International Peace Congress. The uproar was caused by a speech by Dr. Gobat in which the President of the International Bureau of Peace characterised the Italian airmen who have been operating in Tripoli during the war as "brigands of the air."
    Loud cries of protest were raised in the audience and the speaker was compelled to stop for several minutes.
    The granting of complete autonomy to Alsace-Lorraine as one of the federated German States would in the opinion of the French and German delegates to the Peace Conference, be a decided step toward better relations between France and Germany. They presented a resolution to this effect and it was adopted by acclamation by the Congress.
