COMMERCE AND WAR.
Rev. ]. T. Mcfarland Says That
Trade May Cause Trouble.

IF there is to be no future war be-
tween England and America, and I am
inclined to believe there will not be, 1t
will not be because the two are OF
Anglo-Saxon blood" said Rev. ]. T. Nc
Farland in a sermon at the First NJ. E
church Sunday morning upon the theme
Man Reconciliation to Man Through
Christianity"
There must be-" he continued, "a
stronger bond than that. Some of the
greatest wars in the worlds history
have been between peoples having a
national kinship. The opening of every
province for trade is putting the friend
ship of the nations of the world today
to a severe test. If there is to be a
great war I guarantee that that war
will come as a result of commercial
rivalry. Culture does not form the basis
of harmony between nations. Literature
and art win snap in an instant
any strain is put upon them
What is the principle which tends
toward social qualification? That dis
migrating principle is ~self-interest:
that is the SOU of the whole competi-
ton and strife in the commercial world.
But on the other hand the principle OF
Christianity is love: not self-interest.
but s~elf-sacrihce. Every man becomes
the servant of his fellows. And when
Christ came into the world in the arena
of strife and pickering, he said to every
man that he hould not look into his
own things but into those of others. II
is the tendency of Christianity to recon
cile the antipathy nations, the
hatred in social relations, and the strifes
of individuals"

UNIFORM CLAUSES.
Chairman Of Insurance Committee
Makes His Report

New York. Aug. 1S.-F. c.. Moore.
chairman of the conference committee
named by the national board OF fire un-
derwriters, and seven other prominent
insurance bodies to formulate q uni
form set of policy clauses and forms for
use throughout the United States. has
just issued his report.
Eleven clauses of uniform wording
nave been devised by The COMMITTEES at
the sessions which were attended By
representatives of the national board.
England exchange, the New York state
fire underwriters association, the mid
die department, the Southeast Tariff
association, the Western union, The
Philadelphia Underwriters association,
and the New York Fire Insurance ex-
change. The forms recommended fer
adoption by these bodies comprise the
following: Telephone, lighting, cold
storage (two alternate clauses@, aver
age. reduced rate average. rent. cleo
tricity, lumber. clear space, mill yard
lumber, and sprinkler clauses.
The uniform lightning clause recon-
minded precludes all possibility of
claim for electrical damage to dyna-
mos, wiring OF other electrical appli-
ances, in order that the ordinary light
ming clause attached to policies covering
buildings containing dynamos and other
electrical appliances should not subject
the companies to claim for a loss which
was not contemplated.
The conference committee found the
conditions of the situation with regard
to cold storage manifold
The committee therefore thought its
duty as to cold storage twofold: (a)
That of preparing a clause which
should especially except any claim for
consequential damage. although this
damage would probably be excepted I'M
der the standard policy without any
special clause or notice: (b) a clause
assuming the consequential damage.
for which a charge should be made, this
charge or rate to be determined by the
rating organization, like the New York
| fire insurance exchange or others.
1t is probable a p will assume
the additional hazard for an additional
premium
These uniform clauses are now pro-
mu1gated by reason Of an authorize
ton of the national board of fire un-
derwrfters, which gave the conference
| committee fun power at its annual
| meeting last Nav.
