LONDON. September d. - \ curious
view of the position of the German en-
peror as a potential leader of a world
peace movement is put forward by Al
fred II. Fried, a Nobel peace prize win
ner. in his book. THE German Emperor
and the Peace of the World just pub.
lished.
Mr.. Fried devotes much space to analy-
sis of the theories Of Norman Angell-who
provides a preface to the book-but the
main interest lies in what Mr.. Fried calls
"a book of hope. He dates the con-
version of the emperor TO the idea of be-
coming paciticator from the year Of
the Anglo-German arbitration treaty.
Baron rEstournelles de Constant, who
was at kiel with the emperor and king
Edward VII at the time. wrote 10 Mr.
Fried:
The honor of having brought about
the Angio-German treaty belongs to King
Edward who takes his role of peace
maker most seriously, and to the kaiser.
The emperor likes to hold idealists up I'D
ridcule, but he agrees with them SO far
as to begin to recognize the work of The
Hague court. He has been caught by the
idea, and it will soon absorb him.
Incidents Cited.
Mr.. Fried advances many instances OF
the emperor's subsequent speeches and
actions in support of his contention. He
quotes Herr Won Holstein for years the
soul of the Berlin foreign Office as say
ing:
THE chief thing is to demonstrate the
falsty OF the insidious idea that each
ship adds to the might of the German EN-
p!re when it only obliges Great Britain,
not to mention France. to lay down two
vessels more
Mr.. Fried's conclusion is that the world
is on the eve of another striking denfon-
stration OF the versatility Of the kaiser.
Recognizes the Problem. :,
'He could accelerate the great mave-
ment of our time" says Mr.. Fried. ;?He
has already recognized the problem, and
he sees the possibility OF its solution and
the necessity. He is hndered only by the
men who surround him.
The hour will come when the emperor
will throw off his letters. when We viii
perceive that 1t is now time to carry, out
the promise he gave when he said:' I
only wish that European peace lay in my
hands. ! should certainly take care Il
should never be disturbed"

WRECKERS TEAR DOWN
ANCIENT TRINITY SPIRE.

The high. slate-covered steeple which
fer Al years has stood az silent guard,
towering nearly 200 feet above the side
walk. over old Trinity Methodist
church. corner Trinity avenue and
Whitehall street. crumbled into the
dust today
Wreckers engaged in tearing down
the old church. to make way for
modern business building, this morning
attacked the old steeple. A section
about 80 feet long was sawed off, and q
big automobile truck hitched to a long
cable rope quickly demolished the old
landmark. All the steople, and all Of
the building over which it stood watch,
win be gone in another day or two.
Removing the steeple was a difficult
task. but the modern auto truck un-
known in 1871 when the steeple was
constructed, solved the problem. Until
workmen climbed the high spire with
saw and Ratchet with which to tear it
down it's interior had not been visited
by human beings since the last nail
was driven in It's construction in the
fall Of 1871.
But while man had contented himself
during these long years at gazing to its
top from vantage points for blocks
around, birds and insects had built
their homes and increased their tribes
within H. For when the auto truck had
done its work today and the suns rays
had penetrated the long dark cham
bers many odd homes of the teathcred
folk were discovered.
