"One of the greatest enemies Of the

THE most effective means Of destroying
the pests is TO spray the trees while the
insect is dormant. The materials most

HILL TALKS TO HISTORIANS
American Ambassador to Germany IL
Warmly Received at Ber-
lin Congress.

BERLIN, Aug. 6.-The International Con-
gress of Historical Sciences, whose annual
sessions have attracted scientists from all
parts of the world, is being held this year
from August to August II In the great
Philharmonic hall here. The governing
body selected DR.. David Jayne Hill, am
bassador Of the United States to Germany,
for the distinction Of delivering the open
ing address. Dr. Hill dealt in his lecture
with ''the ethical function Of the historian"
In closing he said:
The one constant factor in the historic
process is human nature, which is some
times governed by reason, but generally
moved by impulse. The business of the
historian, therefore, is not to make his
a scientific stamp foreign to its nature
but TO display the motives that have de-
termined the historic. process as it has
in reality been unfolded. II he is thus
faithful in his exposition of motive and
result, his work will have a far greater
scientific value than II he imports into
it principles and methods borrowed from
other sciences dealing with materials Of a
different nature. or products o. purely
intellectual abstraction, for the effect Of
this importation Is to impart to history
an appearance OF reasonableness that It
does not in reality possess.
Thus. from every point of view, We see
that the function of the historian Is not
to deal with uniformities and universal
formulas, but with the variations of hu-
man conduct and to measure its success
and its failure upon the scale OF rational
endeavors; for history Is the record of
mans efforts to solve the problems with
which his nature and his environment
confront him. 1t IS good for mankind TO
realize that, although living in universe
governed by law. as result of Its free
dom is has sometimes gone wrong, and
that without loyal adherence to great
principles. II may go wrong again. The
best antidote TO this eventually is true
science Of the past. But, whetheS II be
for good or for evil. men Of science,
dealing with the largest and most in
structive aspect of human development,
historians are bound by that scientific
conscience which Is the test. the badge
and the glory of their profession, TO un-
veil reality and to give meaning TO the
words. "Die Weltgeschichte list das
Weltgericht"
