SENSATIONAL METHOD
 OF MAKING AREESTE

Paris, Aug 1s.-Two detectives dress-| ed in rags made a sensational arresf in Paris the other morning. Informa4 ton had been lodged with the pelice that clandestine betting went on tn a| restaurant The two detectives one pf them carrying a large guitar, stood outside the resturant. Both had good voices, and they collected quite Tod of money from people who went iF' and out to bet or to be paid their wini nings.
 At a moment when through the oper' door of the restaurant they seen the pr0a prietor collecting betting papers and putting money in a bag to be handel over to an agent who was waiting fcA 1t, the detectives made a rush into th < resturant and secured the restaurant. keeper, the money. and the betting pad perS
 The restaurant-kesper shouted fU4 help, and two policemen entered and arrested the detectives, who had sont9 difficulty in proving their identity. bol cause the police would not let them pui their hQnds into their pockets--rAarin that there were revolvers there.

by horde of harpies who serve their own base ends at the expense of the peoples patriotism. Considers the army contrators, who during the AmeRi can Civil War, grew rich by cheating the Federal government. Recall the round robin" letter in the Spanish Am erican War, which Mir Roosevelt him self signed. Remember the army sup ply scandals which within the past de- cade have aroused respectively Great Britian, France and Russia. It would seem as if all the evils of graft find wartime a propitious season for growth.
 The worst as well as the best in hu- man nature Is evoked by the voice of Mars. A distinguished cavalry general in the Confederate army once told me how war dulls the finest sentiments of charge" said he. T have seen men rades, because the lust of battle was ering Is notoriously exhibited on the battle fields.
 After all, war is beside the point. It proves nothing concerning the real is- sue. War merely demonstrates which of the contending nations has the stronger fighting force. Therefore war is not the embodiment of justice: in- stead 1t represents the principle that might makes right" The ordinary war is quite like the childhood sItua- ton wherein the bully says. when out

ment of worthier pursuits. The use fulness of mankind. as we'll as the como mon prosperity of the race. is promoted by peace and not by war. Consider for an instant the treasures of art and literature and history that have been lost to mankind through ravages of war.
 Some one raises the question, "But cultivate the other noble virtues?' Let us consider. For a week past the prln- cipal headlines in the daily papers have been devoted to the reopened inquest at Annapolis into the death by violence of a lieutenant of the United States Marine Corps. The testimony has thrown a flood of light upon the char acter and conduct of some of these "ofiicers and gentlemen" who supposed ly represent military traditions at their best. Here we find drunkenness. brutal ity. snobbishness. open neglect of the plainest military duties, and still gray CT offences If we are to accept these conditions as at all typical. or are to attach any significance to the many divorces and scandals reported from military circles, we are bound to say that the morals and virtues of the mil litary class are below those of the or dinary day laborer.
 Under the cover of the turmoil of war all kinds of these passions emerge into activity. That heriosm, self denial and patriotism are often evoked by war no one can deny: yet even the noblest of wars are used as a cloak

Common Sense Of Humanity Should Haue Banished War Blight

conviction in favor of international peace has begun to find lodgment in the breasts of plain people, who have always furnished the food for powder. Theirs are the homes that are deso- lated by the cruel science which spends lives as 1t spends lead. After having furnished the soldiers for all wars, the plain people are also called upon to pay the cost of the same. although they are rarely consulted as to whether or not a war should be entered upon. deepened resentment against the awful burdens which wah lays upon the workingman is growing in the minds of the proletariat.
 This is the day of brotherhood. All races are dreaming of the unity of mankind. That the old bitterness. mis- understandings and prejudices should give way to concord and fraternity Is the desire of nations. But 1t is sim ply impossible that anything at all resembling a day of universal broth erhood should dawn while the first concern of great nations Is the main tenance of huge armies and navies.

Terse Comments Upon the Christian Endeav0R Topic for August & "Why
 War should Be Abolished"
 xsa ii. 2-4S Matt V, 28-4S.
BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS.

The hysteria of England over a pos- sible German invasion. the terrific bur den of military taxation in Germany. still heavier load borne by the people of Japan, the recent overthrow of the French ministry during @ military de- bate. the riots in Spain against the Moroccan war, the sQuabbling between small South American countries over a boundary dispute. all are contem- poraneous arguments drawn from the daily newspaper against the madness of militarism. One does not have to go to ancient treaties to perceive the hurt of the war spirit. It is before the eyes of whosoever would look. The amazing thing is that the common sense of humanity has not long since banished the blight of war.
 The tide of peace sentiment is stead sly rising all around the world. Of that there can be no doubt. Instead of being the passion of the choice few meN and women of refined snlrit. the

 Why should men who are individual ly friendly collectively try to murder one another? The units in the armies of the North and South during the six ties entertained no personal grudges. When opportunity offered they swapp- ed tobacco and coffee and exchanged surreptitious visits. Yet grim war ar rayed these friends and brothers against each other in deadly strife. Do the laws of the sancity of life become abrogated when applied to masses of men.
 / It takes more force of character, and a higher order of constructive statesmanship. to prevent an interna- tional war than to conduct it.
 No. normal person can watch a wheat field burn without a pang for the waste involved. Nor can he look upon mnli- tary service. which decimates some of the great nations of their finest youth during the most important period of life. without feeling that war Is huge economic blunder. It removes young men from the productive call ings It impairs their taste for domes- tic life. It disorts their ideals of clti- zenship and of character. Military service is not a normal existence. That Is why gross evils have always sprung

The spirit which lies behind war must be altered ere war itself can be abolished. Selhshness. pride. greed must give way to nobler traits in the human breast ere the clash of arms be forever stilled. Which Is but another way of saying that universal peace can come only in the wake of the coverign- ty of the Prince of Peace.
