GRUBER DEPLORES WARS
Gives Praise to Taft for His
Peace Policies.

An address dealing with war was made
last night by Abraham Gruber before the
Peoples Forum at Pilgrim Church, Madison
avenue and i2lst street He said the ma
ton could have no greater enemy than the
man who extolled war preached its neces-
sity and made II a subject OF the peoples
mind. In the so-called civilized countries
Of Europe. there were more men under arms
than ever before. Sixty per cent Of the
revenue Of the United States was devoted TO
preparation for anticipated wars and pay
ing the obligations OF the Civil and Spanish
wars Continuing, Mr.. Gruber said:
The nations OF the earth, in preparing
for war, are day but spenders Of man 3
hard earned wage. They are as far away
from the right mission OF men as evil is
from good. If, when war is declared, the
kings and the male members Of their fam
flies and the presidents and their children
were compelled TO march in the front rank
in every battle, wars would cease.
The future historian, when writing OF the
administration Of President Taft, will give
versal peace, place as high as that OF
Washington and Lincoln. II they were in
spired, so is he.
with the end OF wars would come a
proper settlement Of most Of our social and
economic troubles. Much Of the hunger.
tion would be gone forever II the money,
time. physical and mental energy now de-
voted TO the purposes OF war were devoted
to education, q far better wage 10 the
Workingman and the help and care OF the
large army of unfortunate but good, people
who inhabit the earth. Man dressed In
soldiers clothes has wickedly covered the
image Of God.

SEES END OF BOTH PARTIES
.ndividualists and Socialists
Next, Says DR.. Sears.

The days of the Republican party are
numbered. the Democrats az a political
factor are doomed. and within five years
there will be only two contesting organiza-
tions, the Socialists and the Individualists
and In the end the last named will triumph
and the great social problems in the United
States will be adjusted, according TO a
prophecy made by DR.. Julia Seton Sears
IN debate with Sol" Fieldman. n Social
ist leader. at the Republic Theatre last
night.
DR.. Sears is the founder and pastor OF
the New Thought Church and president OF
the New Thought School OF New York and
Boston, and I'm the arguments for better
ment OF social conditions she stood firmly
by capitalism. although she contended that
It was not the system itself, but the selfish
manipulation OF the system, that was re-
sponsible for the existing problems which
the Socialists would seek to rectify by de-
stroying the indiyidualism OF tho laborer.
The desired results will be brought about,
she said, only through the intenslfication OF
the individual and the application OF prac-
teal business methods to the present In
dustrial system.
Mr. F1eldman differed materially In his
Views, and could not be convinced that
there was any way other than the unquali-
fed and complete abolition OF capitalism
to free the people from the so-called yoke
OF oppression. ......

CARNEGIE AND CONSCIENCE
Rabbi Draws Lesson from Iron
Masters Testimony.

In q sermon on The Conscience, the
Statute and the Judge" the Rev. Samuel
Schuman. rabbi Of Temple Bethel. Fifth
avenue and 18th street. referred yesterday
morning 10 Andrew Carnegies testimony
before the Stanley committee, SAYING:
Here was one Of the ablest men in the
world, because Of his great worldly sue
cess and keen mentality. as shown in his
books and speeches. and here was one OF
the most distinguished men because Of the
matchless munificence Of his philanthropy,
practically telling the whole nation. as a
jury, SO fer as ] can understand from the
substance of his testimony, the following
things: For twenty years a law existed
and he knew nothing Of its application TO
the business In which he was interested.
because his lawyers had not informed him
and judges had not yet interpreted IL by
decisions which have recently become in
formation for the American people. Again,
he practically told us that not much can
be relied upon or expected from the indi-
vidual conscience in matters of business
az long as the law does not speak, and that
man should get as much as possible for
his wares, and in any manner whatever;
that for self-seeking there are no limits
except the autocratic and mechanical limi
tations imposed by the necessity OF trades.
DR.. schulman is opposed to the recall of
the judiciary. He said:
The Judge performs the most sacred
function in the nations life, in his con-
scientiousness. AS strictly upright judge
he represents the Individual conscience,
and In the application Of the statute 10 a
concrete case he represents the conscience
OF the nation Nothing is so dangerous 10
nations life as TO impair his indepen-
dence There is, therefore. no greater dan
ger 10 the American institution than the
hercsy which has grown Up, and WHICH
the decision OF a judge a fraction Of the
peorle may petition for his recall

WAR CHIEFS IN LIVELY ROW
General Ainsworth Resents Staff
Interference in Bureaus.

Washington. Jan. if.-There are signs
OF war within the War Department.
Chiefs OF bureaus are making the criti-
cism that the general stan is not confin-
ing itself TO the duties for which II was
organized and is interfering with the bu-
reaus. Complaints have been made TO
Representatives and Senators. and there
is a possibility than an investigation may
be undertaken by a Congressional COM
mittee This depends largely on the sue
cess OF the Efforts OF Secretary Stimson.
who is working TO remove the causes OF
friction.
At the head Of the opposing ranks are
the two army doctors who have risen 10
the rank OF major general and occupy the
most important places at the head OF the
army instration-General Wood. chief
OF stan. and General Ainsworth, adJutant
general
one phase OF the situation showing the
sentiment Of the bureau chiefs toward
the general staff Is expressed by General
Ainsworth In a memorandum to the chief
OF stan. who called on him for informa-
tion as TO the number OF officers required
should Congress enact pending legislation
which provides for a general staff corps
formed by a consolidation of the adjutant
generals department the inspector gem
erals department and the present general
staff
General Ainsworth refers indirectly to
the interference by the general stan with
other stan corps, and says. in effect, that
half the officers now allowed for the gem
eral stan could return to the commands.

THE PARCELS POST
Profit in It on Rural Mail Routes,
Saws Official.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE establish
ment of parcels post delivery along rural
mail routes should not be delayed any
longer, in the opinion OF p. V. de Graw
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General. as
expressed in his annual report, submitted
to-day 10 Postmaster General Hitchcock.
Every consideration Of practicability,
business expediency and good administra-
tion." he says, "favors the plan as being
probable source OF large revenue and
great public accommodation"
Mr. de Graw bases his recommendation
for a parcels post on the ground that the
expenditure for rural service Is increas-
ing much more rapidly than the receipts,
and the parcels post. he says, would pro-
vide much additional revenue. During the
last year the rural mail receipts were
$3.50. 600. while the expenditures were
S37,130,o00. For the present year there
has been appropriated s42,790,000, while 1t
is expected that there will not be any ap-
preciable increase in receipts. This loss
will become greater each year. he says,
unless parcels post is established to
help.
There are at present more than 900, 900
miles OF rural mail routes. and the aver
age mileage a day for each carrier IS
24.19 miles. During the last year 577
routes were added, making the present
total 41.656.
More than $4,000. 900 letters and parcels
were received at the Dead Letter Office
during the year, the daily receipts aver
aging 4i,500 pieces. an increase over the
previous year OF s per cent

retained as a Presidential candidate and
also allow him TO file as candidate for
