RIVALRY Of RELIGIONS
PRIME CAUSE OF WAR
Dr.. Gilbert Reid Tells of Deli
cate Situations in the
Far East.
Collision between religions is primary

Collision between religions is a primary
cause of war. according to Dr. Gilbert
Reid, director of the international 1nsti-
tute of China. who delivered an address
yesterday afternoon at the Congressional
Club on Peace in the Far East
DR.. Reid declared that failure to Sc
cure world wide peace was to be found
first in collision between religions; sec
ondly, between races, and finally, between
nations. He said that the peace of the
world depended in large part upon the
establishment OF harmony and peace
in the far east
1T may seem strange that religion
should be the cause of discord or war.
Certainly religion at it's best brings no
such calamity. 1t is the natural mar
rowness of the adherents of different
religions, and the superstitious fears
which exist, that lead to hatreds, to dis
cords and to bloodshed. 1t may even be
true that the intensity of religious con-
viction may help forward the natural
tendency to discord. So far as China
IS concerned, you have an illuStra ton
of the great religions of the world meet
ing each other on the same territory.
Meeting Place of Religions.
beSldeS emma three religions, Con-
fucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, there
have been introduced into China Moham-
mechanism, the Greek Church, the diff
ferent orders Of the Roman Church and
the different sects of Professionalism and
the Hebrew religion. The danger from
differences over religion In China lies in
political competitions between their adj
herentS. to the chance for interference
from outside and the consequent war be-
tween nations"
Ra ciaI distinctions in the far east, how
ever. are even more liable TO produce a
conflict. the speaker said. There has been
in the minds of many of the so-called
yellow peril the danger to the white
race from combined attack by the
Chinese and Japanese But today this is
not to be feared. declared Dr. Reid.
Japan is in alliance with England, and
mas come to terms with Russia. Japan's
action in Korea and her policy in Man
churla make a union between China and
Japan out Of the question.
THE real possibility of war lies in the
danger OF conflict between the nations of
the far east themselves said Dr. Reid
Time for Peace Move.
THE unexpected announcement that
Russia, in Chinas time of weakness. is
unwilling to negotiate on a new treaty,
but contemplates war. is a sad mes
sage to lovers of peace. and is a Carl
cature on The Hague conferences Now
is the time for our government and peo-
pie to speak out for justice as well as
for peace.
Still more true is the question of our
proper attitude toward Japan. l am sure
there Is no danger of war with Japan, so
far as the primary object of the Japa-
nese is concerned. 1t depends on our
selves more than on them.
America is in a peculiar position in
being able to be a leader in the cause of
international peace"

DEATH T0D0G THIEF
FOR STEALING BREAD
Caught in the Act, Rogue Will
Pay Penalty for His
Crime.
ITO be asphyxiated by gas until dead.'

10 De aSplyX1ated by gas until dead
Doom has been pronounced on Dog
Stray, thief and vagabond, caught red
handed in his rogueries. The poundmas-
ter will be his executioner and even now
is making ready the poisonous fumes
which Dog Stray must breathe until his
last breath and mortal finish shall vindi-
cate the majesty of mans inexora BILE
law.
Dog Stray's fate has been sealed from
the beginning. No soothsayer's second
sight was needed to foretell his checkered
career and violent end. The vocation of
rascal was thrust upon him by the
very meanness of his origin, by the op-
preston of humanity upon plebeian ca
ninity, and by his own urgent need to
live while he lived. Food he had to have
abandoned
So Dog Stray stole to live, and per-
haps provided for a family, now desti-
tute and orphaned and deprived of the
breadwinner by his death. For bread
winning, by fair means or foul-and hon.
est ways never offered-was Dog Stray's
forte. 1t was also his fault, and in the
offending, repeated for long time with
impunity, came his undoing. He became
an habtual criminal, and as such he
must die.
Dog Stray, observed in his depredauons
in the neighborhood Of NJ and 9th streets
but escaping capture for the time,
changed his base of operations. and this
morning stole two loafs of bread from the
doorstep Of the house at 3O6 + street at
) O'Clock.
Is Caught Red-Handed.
The lookout" issued to the police after
his former detection in crime and escape,
has had the entire force on the watch
for him. He was seen in the very act
by Policeman Scriven of the sixth pre-
cinct, whose duty has him abroad when
the milkman and others whom neces-
sity of occupation makes early rsars-
are still asleep.
Dog Stray did not know that he had
been observed. Crowding the two loaves
of bread into his mouth, feat of dex-
terity and contortion that he has ac-
quired by practice. Dog Stray loped off
with his loot, and took himself to
Judiciary Square, not far away. Here he
settled himself. comfortably and peace
fully, oblivious of impending fate, TO en-
joy the fruits of his depravity.
The policeman stole upon him with
hushed tread. Every faculty engrossed
in satisfying the pangs of his hunger and
self-congratulation upon the success Of
his labors, Dog Stray was caught I'M
aWarcs.
He struggled dogfully. yelled and bit
at his captor and made it so difficult to
Subdue him that he nearly made good his
escape. But mankind was too much for
dogkind, and Dog Stray was prisoner.
He was sent TO the pound in the patrol
wagon of that institution. He dies Mon
day, before the setting of the sun.

The appearance at the Emergency Hos

knew of the whereabouts of the others.
This was the third escape of Florence
Carey from the House of the Good Shep-

DAN, MAN-K|LL|NC ZEBRA,
HAS RETURNED TO zOO|
Apparently He Has Undergone
a Change of Heart and Be-
come a Desirable Citizen.

Dan. the man-killing zebra, SO long
at the Bethesda experiment station OF the
Department of Agriculture, has gone
home to the Zoo. and apparently he has
experienced change of heart and re-
lapsed into n desirable citizen. This
change may be more apparent than real
SO the keepers at the Zoo are not taking
any chances: but he really seems to
have reformed.
Principal Keeper Blackburne ventured
to pet him. and Dan came to have his
head scratched and tried as we'll as he
could to intimate that he had really turn
ed over new leaf. From a desire to
make a meal off any human beings who
came near him and a willingness, to chew
through plate of boiler iron in the
process. this was very remarkable
change.
Changes at Bethesda.
The return of Dan to the Zoo was in
consequence of some changes that have
been made at Bethesda and the removal
OF part OF the stock to the new farm of
the Agricultural Department at Belts
vile, Md Dan was originally present
from Emperor MeneIik to President
Roosevelt, and was domiciled at the
Bethesda station while the breeding ex-
per1mentS were carried on that resulted
in producing the several Zebroid colts
that are now wards of the department.
The absence from home apparently
agreed with Dan, for he was weighed
the other day and turned the scales at
$50 pounds great size even for =
Gravey zebra, which is one of the lars-
est members of the family.
Whether this moral regeneration will
prove permanent the Zoo officials do not
KNOW, and Dan has not confided in any
one, though 1t is believed he will make
a confidant of Mr.. Blackburne If he does
of any one.
