THAT MESSAGE OF COINCIDENCE.
DR.. Mary Wood-Allen, editor of the
| New Crusade, and an influential men,
| Der Of the Peace union, was asked a
few days ago about the letter of con-
dolence sent to the queen regent She
said:
II myself was not at the peace con-
praSq racanflU ha1d In Nauy VorIr Prov,
! which the message was sent, but my
! son was there, and from him know
| that the document in question contain
| ed no statements or insinUations re-
| f1ecting upon the administration or in
! any way doing violence to the fourth
| injunction Of the seven rules of har-
| mony, viz: Dedicate your thought and
| use your influence to develop the ma

| criticise without purpose the admins

''The sympathy expressed for the
| queen regent in her sore trials" con-
| tinued DR.. Wood-Allen. must receive
| the quick response of every mother
and true woman. for no one is so dull
as to think, for an instant, that the
queen is to blame for the war or the
barbarities incident to the Cuban in
surrection."
What, then. do you think called
forth the vigorous criticism?"
why, L think the sum and sub
stance Of the matter was this: The
union expressed sympathy for the sor-
rows Of the queen regent and explain
ed the purpose Of the society, namely,
the settlement of all international diff
f1culty by arbitration. This could cas-
lily be twisted by the Spanish papers
into a sweeping denunclation Of not
only American methods of settling the
C111N of1lf Nv hut oil nP tha
Of the war. AS a matter Of fact, the
first of the seven rules Of harmony
would compel the Peace union to sup
port the administration in it's Cuban
interference"
well, what Is this Peace union any
way? What does it do, where does 1t
live, and what does one have to be or
do to attain membership" was the
bouquet of questions thrown at the
speaker.
In reply the doctor brought out an
attractive booklet of just four pages

ing its color, design and so forth: on
the third were the seven rules Of har-
mony, and on the fourth was the fol-
lowing statement of the ethics of the
Universal Peace union.
The longing for universal peace and

by arbitration instead of fighting grows
