Working for World Peace

The Federal Council of Churches, repre- senting many millions of American Protestants and practically all principal Protestant bodies, has created standing commission on international peace, the members of which are now being selected. It is the councils purpose to lead in com stituting a common body that can, if oc- casion arises, bring the power of Chris tianitv to bear to defeat such politicians as may be inclined against arbitration treaties between the United States, Great Britain, France and any other countries. In order to be stronger and wider in scope the council is to ask councils or Great Britain and Germany to become part of it's commission. Co-ordinateo with the commission will be the ministers and prominent laymen of all three counu- tries named Acting upon the suggestion of pr. Henry Wade Rogers of Yale, who is an officer of the council, appeal is made to organizations of young people in all churches to array themselves in favor Of President Tafts peace treaties. Appeal Is also made to educators in all three countries to assist in training young peo-
 fIe to regard war with the horror it
 merits. The council is, with a full under
 standing on all sides, to be a league for
 peace, backing the whole plan, and CO.,
 operating with all influences represented
 by the Lake Mohonl1 conference, the Car
 negie Foundation, and other agencies.

ing Lippincott's body and revolver
he had bought three days before on n
table within a few inches Of his hand.
A wound near the right temple showed
where the b..llet had entered.
Deputy McKeever said the only motiv e
he could give for suicide was that Mr.
Lippincott had been u sufferer from
stomach trouble.
Coroner Ford told the jury that DR..
Remig. one of his physicians had reported
that the revolver had been held within
an inch Of Mr.. Lippincotts head when
the shot was fired. This. the Coroner said.

The matter awaits the return of Sagan's
brother, the Duke of Valencay, who il
now on yachting trip in the Red Sea.
When the final arrangements for the
investiture have been completed the
Count kanitz, being named the feudal
tutor for the boy, will take the oath Of
fidelity to the Grand Duke of Silesia, who
is, in fact, the King Of Prussia and German
Emperor. The boy will remain French.
De Sagan complained that the trouble
about the duchy arose from cabal
against him at the Berlin court, where
an endeavor was made to pursuade the
Kaiser to refuse to sign the investiturc.
1t is for this reason, he says. that he ac-
cePted the arrangement of transferring g

Mainon. the Anglo Egyptian journalist.

are alleged to have secured important
documents in connection with the Bagdad
Railway and affairs in Morocco and sold
them to Germany. The men are accused
of espionage.
The proceedings were private. but the
evening papers say the Magistrate showed
some twenty documents which h&0 been
seized at the house OF Maimon. Rouet
asserted that he supplied only four OF
these documents, all OF which concerned
the Ba gdad Railway.
II this be true 1t shows that Maimon
had other sources from which he obtained
State papers. The question as 10 what
documents have been copied in the For
eign Office is arOusing great anxiety.
The Government is evidently making an
effort to create the impression that they
are limited to Asia Minor and Persian
railway matters.
This il confirmed by two leakages
which have already been traced. namely.
the publication in London OF the Russo
German agreement after the meeting at
Potsdam OF Emperor William and the
Gear and the publication by tho Temps
ON February 2 OF messages between France
and Turkey while they we're negotiating
in regard to French railway concessions
in Anatolia and Albania. II is denied
that Rouet could possibly have had ac-
cess 10 the Spanish secret treaty Of 1904.

origin. He has declared that he is Brit
