PROF. STENCIL DEFENDS WAR.
Sentiment Of a German Delegate 10 The Coming
Peace Conference.

Berlin, April S.-Prof. Stengel. one of
the German delegates 10 the coming
peace conference at The Hague has
just published an article which is strik-
ingly at variance with the ideal that he
was nominated to discuss. His view is
that eternal peace ought in no wise to
be the aim of culture. The assertion
that war is opposed to civilization, art,
science and industry is utterly wrong.
1t is not the intellectual achievements
OF a nation that decide its fate, but its
belligerent strength.
War" says Prof. Stengel, "is an edu-
cational necessity. IL has its mission in
the promotion Of culture. The agita-
tion of the friends of peace is a per-
nicfous sentiment, and its fantastic ef-
forts are no more valuable than the
Utopian schemes Of Thomas Moore and
Edward Bellamy."
For this reason, Prof. Stengel says,
no peace conference, even at the sug-
gestion of the Gar. will be able 10 give
eternal peace:" on the contrary, such
meetings harbor some danger, as they
may tend more clearly TO reveal con-
flicting interests.
Ii is not known whether the article
was written prior or subsequent TO
Prof. Stengefs appointment.

The Property Was Attached In a Suit TO
Recover $500 Due For Rent
SOME ARTICLES WERE REPLEvINED.
Court Decides The Property Is In The Hands Of
Sheriff and Must Remain There Until
Su is Disposed OF.

Judge Stiness today refused the pray
er of the complainanSs in the equity
case Of B. Thomas Potter ct al. against
Anna Il. Greenleaf ct al, for an in
junction to restrain the sale Of certain
personal property mortgaged and the
further prosecuting of certain suits at
law by the respondents. The complain
ants let certain premises to Anna E.
Greenleaf and others and 1t was agreed
that all the articles put on the prem
ises by the lessee (Greenlea) should be
pledged TO the complainants for the
payment of rent. According 10 the
statements of Mr.. Potter the rent was
not paid, and when there was $500 due,
the property was attached. 1t was
then found that the personal property
had been mortgaged and the mortga-
gee applied TO the court for leave TO
sell the property mortgaged. Harriet
Stearns, who claimed 10 own part of
the property replevined the articles
she claimed. The bill sought to fore
close the equity of redemption In the
pledge and George Al. Huddy, Jr., who
represented the complainants urged
that everything else in the nature Of
claim must await the settlement Of tho
rent claim.
II. A. McKenney who represented tho
mortgagee claimed that the complain
ants having taken advantage of their
remedy at law and attached the prop
erty for rent, the property was now
in the hands OF the sheriff and not in
the possession of them under the pledge.
Mr.. .Huddy said the sheriff's keeper had
surrendered the property 10 them. The
court thought this did not make any
difference. that the property was still
in the hands OF the sheriff and must
remain there until the suit was dis
posed of. MIR. Huddy said his clients
were willing 10 take the property with
out sale OF they could get rid of the
equity Of redemption.
Judge Stiness did not see that an
inunctfon could do any good as the
application for the sale OF the prop
erty under the mortgage was made un.
der the statute all the court could do
by the injunction was to restrain a de-
csion.

firmed by the Appellate Court.
