<p class="inline">The Superintendent of the International Bureau is hereby authorized, subject to the approval of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Belgium, to use, during the current fiscal year, such sums, appropriated for the past year, as may not have been then used. These sums shall, the case arising, go to form reserve fund for the payment of contingent expenses. The said reserve shall in no case exceed 25,000 francs. The surplus will, perhaps, render it possible to reduce the price of subscription to the Bulletin, without increasing the number of copies guaranteed by the contracting States; this surplus may also serve to meet the expense that would be occasioned by the addition of a new language to those enumerated in article 1.</p>
<p class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize10">This last measure shall not be carried out without the unanimous consent of the States and Colonies belonging to the Union.</p>

<p class="firstIndent1 fontsize10">A hundred years have passed since the Government which our<sidenote><p class="firstIndent1 fontsize8">Preamble.</p></sidenote> forefathers founded was formally organized. At noon on the thirtieth day of April, seventeen hundred and eighty-nine, in the city of New York, and in the presence of an assemblage of the heroic men whose patriotic devotion had led the Colonies to victory and independence, George Washington took the oath of office as Chief Magistrate of the newborn Republic. This impressive act was preceded, at nine o’clock in the morning, in all the churches of the city, by prayer for God’s blessing on the Government and its first President.</p>
<p class="firstIndent1 fontsize10">The centennial of this illustrious event in our history has been declared a general holiday by act of Congress, to the end that the<sidenote><p class="firstIndent1 fontsize8">Vol. 25, p. 980.</p></sidenote> people of the whole country may join in commemorative exercises appropriate to the day.</p>
<p class="firstIndent1 fontsize10">In order that the joy of the occasion may be associated with a deep thankfulness in the minds of the people for all our blessings in the past, and a devout supplication to God for them gracious continuance in the future, the representatives of the religious creeds, both Christian and Hebrew, have memorialized the Government to designate an hour for prayer and thanksgiving on that day.</p>
