The death Of Rev. DR.. Lewis Eiehel-

and was consequently in. the 57th year Of

College. Carlisle, Pennsylvania, in the fall
Of 1926, he studied theology at Gettys-
burg, and upon the receipt Of his license
as minister in the Evangelical Lutheran
church, in October, 1928, accepted call
to the pastorate of the congregation in this
place and entered upon its duties the Sc
cond Sunday in that year. Five years af-
forwards he resigned, and opened an insti-
tute Of learning for young ladies, we'll
known as Angerona Seminary, bnt he still
retained charge Of three churches in the

RRAsoNs FOR THE PEACE OF VILLAFRAN-
oA.-The Paris Moniteus Of the 9th pub
fishes a long article explaining the reasons
which caused the Emperor to conclude peace
The following is summary
1.-The Emperor Of Austria hid promised
to grant concession on a large scale to We
META, but requiring as condition, sine quo
non, the return of the Archdukes The
Emperor Napoleon accepted these conditions
It. is easy to conceive that if after the con
clusion Of peace, the destinies Of Italy had
been entrusted to men who had more al
heart the future Of their common fatherland
than little partial successes, the aim Of their
endeavors would have been to develop and
not obstruct the consequences Of the treaty
Of Villafranca, and Venetia would have
been placed in the same position as Luxem-
bourg with Holland.
t'The Archduke will not be established
by foreign forces, but that portion Of the
treaty of Villafranca not having been car
ried out, Austria will fad herself freed from
all engagements taken in favor of Venetia
Instead Of policy Of reconciliation ane
peace, defiance and hatred will be seen tt
reappear, which will entail fresh misfor-
tune. Much, it would appear is expected
from the Congress which we hail with al
our best wishes, but we strongly doubt tina
the Congress would obtain better conditions
for Italy. It would not be right to ash
from the great powers important concessions
without offering equitable compensations. -
War would be the only way to resolve the
difficulty but Italy must be aware that ont
Power alone makes war for an idea, and tina
is France-and France has accomplished
her mission.
