house, but the Sunday sessions have
been very much crowded and this time
II had been decided TO secure the use
of the Auditorium, that building having
been offered free of charge by Its own
err. Elder Osmond Buchanan. IL was
thought that the building would pro-
vide ample room for those in attend
ance The conference from the stand
point of attendance. however, proved TO
be a record breaker and at the Sunday
afternoon session the Auditorium was
seated 10 its full capacity while the
session of the NJ. I. A. In the evening
furnished an attendance of over 800.
During the conference, reports were
heard from the stake heads of several

that growth and development were con-
tinuing in those lines of Church work.
Brief remarks were also made by MEM
bcrs OF the stake presidency, and IT
was manifest that the stake as a whole
was IN a healthy condition, The re-
mainder of the time was occupied by
the visiting churchmcn and their words

II Is we'll for the public TO know that

that every piece of paper money that

The placing Of the letter is by the fol-

An Imaginary Crisis.

II is a deplorable fact that for the past
year or so there have been rumors that
viii not down that the relations between
England and Germany are strained. What
cause can there be for such continued
reports. unless II be a systematic plan
Of the London lingo press to get more
appropriations from the ministry for d
still larger navy? Or IS 1t really a fact
that the statesmen of both OF these coun-
tries have failed TO grasp opportunities
for removing misconceptions?
Between German and British aspirations
there ought not to be. nor is there. an
inevitable antagonism. The keen rivalry
in commerce. If anything. Is good and
inspiring for both countries 1t involves
no political asperity. So it must be the
statesmen. either English or German. who
are actually responsible for the alleged
estrangement There is none between the
two ruling houses. They are very nearly
related and very friendly. It is not the
merchants or traders, for they work TO
mutual advantage. Then it must be,
as stated, politics. More than that. Tn,
happily for both countries, a rancorous
press has done its utmost to inname ma
tional anlmosties-in this instance moth
ing less than a crime
But. in spite Of all this jingoism. there
is one great asset of peace Despite
these infammatory mischief mongers. the
overwhelming mass of the British and
Germans alike have nothing but the
friendliest Of feelings FOR each other.
Germany is a great military power on
land. with interests mainly European.
England is a great naval power. with in
terests mainly non-European. In all this
there is no conflict of interests. England s
European policy is simple enough. It's
main object IS to try to preserve a GER
tain balance of power. There are some
Englishmen who. no doubt, are affrighted
by the vision of Germany bestridIng
Europe like a Colossus This is phan-
tastical Strong. powerful, and efficient
as Germany is, Russia. on one side, and
France. on the other. are factors that can
not be ignored even by the biggest power.
For all their strong and, if YOU
please, inherited belief in the gospel of
force, the Germans are far too clear
headed to indulge in day dreams Of
ACKNOWLEDGMENT impossible OF realization.
Hence. cool survey of the state Of
Europe reveals nothing which really pro-
hibits cordial understanding between
England and Germany.
What British opinion is most sensitive
about is that Germany has naval ambi-
tons. To an island power with vast pos
sessions in every quarter of the globe. a
big navy is a necessity. More than that:
it is even the first necessity of its ma
