preliminary meeting at Berne, before

of delegates and orators were chosen
by both nations.
The programme of the conference
contained only questions that were con-
sidered likely of realization, also
protest against excitations of the
Chauvinists Gingoes), and a means to
put a stop to such agitation and to
alternate their danger. But the main
thing was to take steps to get both
governments to make halt in the in

to consider difficulties in a friendly
manner by arbitration.
All this-between such arch-enemies
appears almost too altruistic. So far
nothing has been accomplished, but if
the congress results in establishing a
better state of mind between these two

Record for Bible Distribution.

Many instructive facts were COM
municated by the secretary OF the
British and Foreign Bible Society, at
the annual meeting OF the society in
London. Never in any previous year
has the society sent out so many copies
of Holy Scripture to the ends OF the
earth.
The languages and dialects into
which the Bible is translated now num-
Der $50, and during the year ten new
versions have been added The So
ciety's issues OF the Scriptures now
reach the huge total of 7,Soq,562 copies,
made up of 936,346 Bibles, 1,266,oIo
New Testaments, and 5000, eo7 smaller
portions. In China, last year, for
every two English books the society
sold it disposed of three in Chinese
the bulk of these being single gospels.
The total expenditure for the year
was s26o.3I2, and the total receipts
e267,667.
The society is now circulating in
Africa Scriptures in liz languages in
digenous to that continent, and nine
teen complete Bibles in the languages
of Africa have been produced. Sir
w. Lee Warner, one of the delegates,
emphasized the religious character of
the peoples of India, saying that though
their religion lacked morality the Eng
lish had much to learn from the Hin
doc in gentleness and patience under
suffering.

Ponderous Personaees
SOCR RATES
By GEORGE FITCH,
Author of cat Good Old siwaaA.~

Socrates was a crank who lived about
$500 years ago when the climate was
exceedingly unhealthy for cranks. The
coroner's verdict on Socrates was that
he died of too many ideas.
Socrates lived in Greece, which was
about the only country worth living in

consisted at that time of athletics,
and music, but instead Of plying him.
self to business and producing his
share of marble statues, he fritted
away his time studying geometry. as
tronomy, Latin. and the other fads. He
then married Xantippe, and soon aft
erwards began to spend all his time
on the street corners under the pre-
tense of discussing important subjects.
But those who knew Xantippes tenn
per and her skill in hurting the fat
iron laughed coarsely at this excuse.
Socrates was Hoplite for a while
when young man, but soon recov-
cred or was released or failed of cleo
tion-depending on what ''Hoplite"
was. Then he threw himself into the
teaching of philosophy and spent the
rest of his life searching the dark and
unfathomed chasrns in the human I'M
Outstanding of those days. His meth
cd of teaching was to loaf on the
street corner until he got a crowd and
then get his admirers to ask him ques-
tions. Survivors of the free silver
campaign of 80 viii remember how
easy 1t is to do the quesuoner and the

Fleet in Pacific.

1t is the duty OF the army and navy
to be prepared for war at all times.
This explains the strong military and
naval sentiment in favor of transfer
ing battleships to the Pacific Presi-
dent Wilson does not think the pres
ent status of our controversy with
Japan requires such a movement; in
fact, he believes prospect for a peace
full settlement might be endangered.
Much may be said for this view.
The truth is that the United States
should not await signs of trouble be-
fore disposing its feet to the best
strategical advantage. 1t has been for
years apparent that the United States
need fear no attack from Europe. All
students of international affairs agree
that the Pacific will be the theater of
the great commercial and political
rivalries OF the future.
The Atlantic battleship feet has
has been kept in the Atlantic because
navy yards and shore stations ade-
quate for It's maintenance are located
on the Atlantic Coast. The two Pa
cifc Coast navy yards are not adequate
for the support OF large force. But
they might easily have been made so
in the FIVE years that have elapsed
since the Atlantic Fleets cruise to the
Pacific proved a potent influence for
peace Nothing of this kind has been
done The Mare Island Navy Yard re-
mains comparatively inaccessible. No
preparations have been made for &C
commodations OF great feet after the
Panama Canal is opened, when sound
policy will demand that the feet spend
a part OF each year in each ocean.
Without questioning Japan's good
faith every patriotic citizen doubtless
would feel a little easier now if the
battleship feet were in the Pacific.
But the risk of exciting Japan by or
dering it there now would, possibly,
be dangerously great.
All this might have been foreseen
had the government any thoroughly
organized agency for considering it,
an agency for instance like the ma
tional council OF defense, which the
Democratic platform Endorsed, but
which a Democratic Senator prevented
being established by law. Such a
council headed by the President of the
United States and composed not only
of military and naval advisers, but
the chairman of the Appropriations,
Military and Naval Committees OF Con-
gress, would be charged with the de-
velopment of a comprehensive policy
OF national defense Such a council
would have had to consider the de-
fenseless condition of the Pacific. In
der the system which now exists the
military advisers did consider it and
recommended that the position of the
United States be strengthened, but
they suffered the handicap that their
opinion was purely professional and
therefore thrust aside by the higher
civilian powers immersed in domestic
prescriptions.
