I'VE. the members Of the Young Mems
Christian Association OF Yale Univers-

1000 members. believe war Is the worst
method OF attempting 20 settle inter-

pleasure that resolutions fnvoring the
arbitration OF differences between the
United States and Great Brttnin have
been passed by both houses OF Con-
gress and the house OF commons. We
therefore, desire to press the advisable

method OF arbitration for the settle

between the governments OF both coun-

diplomatic agencies"

the foundation of his rapidly acquired

the foundation of his rapidly acquired
fortune.
The idea of marriage presents itself
to the mind of almost every young
Frenchman among the working class,
who, having been given all education
and an occupation, is expected to
shift for himself, as a means of raising
capital. He has been carefully nur-
tured in the belief that it is the duty
of women to supply him with the sin
ews of war when he puts check on
the gambols of youth and decides to
enter upon the serious business of
life.
If he were then to marry a portion
less girl he would put himself and all
his family out of countenance. The
world with one accord would call him
an imbecile. The French talk great
deal about sentiment, but they are
swayed by it far less than are the blum
ter peoples of the rough Germanic
stock. Sentiment, however, in this
order of ideas must not be COMPOUNDED
with passion. Of the latter the French
have plenty and to spare. When
they feel that they can safely allow
their sentiment to expand, it does so
in a manner that is perfectly edifying,
but they will run no risk in the matter.
The courage of the man, who, although
needy, will take a wife poorer than
himself, trusting to hard work and
providence to make the future bright,
they look upon as the courage of the
fool; and yet the dominating races of
the world are mainly the progeny of
such fools If the French nation is
doomed to be absorbed by other ma
tons, it will be by their excessive cul-
tivation of the wisdom that provides
for the future. Much might be said
about the part filed in creation by the
improvident animal, but this subject
would lead me too far.
