Secretary Langtry.

Special Correspondence OF The Star.
TOLEDO. February 3.-Cpon arriving
here late last night. A. L. Langtry, sec
rotary OF the American Bowling Con-
gress. said that he thought the 1913 entry
list would not exceed that of Chicago last
year. when 800 five-man teams entered.
He figured that Toledo would just about
pass the 50O-mark for the big tourna-
ment. Last year Chicago alone entered
80 teams. Toledo will have 40 teams.
Langtry estimates the prize money at
about $4,000 for the big event. Entries

TIME Treaty of Tien-- tsin,
concluded So years ago. will
probably loom large in the
history of the time to come, very
much larger than it does to-day,
1t was about the year 1917 Cthe
year of the great RefoTmatioD
that China began to be vaguely
known to Europeans. The Jesuits
appeared among the Celestials
about 1925. and in 1880 the Eng
fish figure among the Foreign
Devils" The Englishman is moth
ing if not commercial and,
thinking that he saw good thing
in opium, began a quarrel with
the Chinaman over that drug that
lasted for years; of which, so far
as the honor of England is con-
cerned, the least said the better
In 1857 took place the war be-
tween England and China, which
ended with the total destruction
Of the Chinese fleet by Commo-
dores Elliot and Seymour and the
perpetual establishment of John
Bull in the island of Hongkong.
The Treaty of TEN tsin, which
clinched the war of 1857. created
a new departure on the part of
the quaint and ancient people of
the Flowery Kingdom. Among its
provisions were: The establish
ment of ambassadorships at both
courts, a larger freedom of trade,
the liberation of the Christian re-
ligion, a revision of the tariff. and
the guarantee that the term bar
barian" should no longer be ap-
piled to Europeans.
With this Treaty of -tsin
begins Modern China. But a lit

elapsed-an insignificant period
in the evolution of a great ma

We should rather ascribe the
incident to the personality Of the
soldier, whose hand was arrested
by the expostulation of his own
better nature. Viewed from that
point, it becomes significant of
the growth of moral sentiment,
which, in the end, will Danish war
altogether Perhaps that merciful
Confederate at Gettysburg was, in
a sense, faithless to his cause.
Who can say that, if the shot had
been fired, the result of the strug-
gle might not have been different?
The fall of a leader has lost many
a battle. Very likely if that act
of mercy had been witnessed by
the commander of the Alabama
regiment he would have cut the
conscientious soldier down with
his sword as a recreant from
duty!
Yet the man who spared the
that he was glad that he could not
press the trigger, and every gem
erous mind approves his act and
his sentiment.
In former days, when most bat
ties were fought hand to hand and
foot to foot, the Juror CERTA-
MINIS FURY of the fight had no
such Interruptions. Moral senti-
ment counted for little on the bat
tleheld. There was no time for it
to assert itself, even if it existed
then as widely as it exists to-day.
The dreadful scenes of slaughter
that attended Caesars campaigns
in Gaul. and the sacks of cities in
the Thirty Years War, would be
impossible now among civilized
people.
Education Will Bring Peace.
When a modern soldier, secure
in his position, sights along his
gun at an enemy, his mind is in
state for reflection upon the ma
ture and consequences of his in
tended act of slaughter and the
mere fact that he can strike at a
distance and unseen may restrain
him, as it did in this case, from
striking at all. He balances his
public duty against his personal
conscience, and unless the former
overwhelmingly appeals to him,
the latter may prevail. If he can
see a chance for mercy he viii
exercise it.
All this shows plainly the direc-
ton which the advocates of uni
versal peace land we are all such
advocates, though we may differ
in our ideas about methods)
should take in order to bring
about the result they aim at. 1t is
the direction of EDUCATION. A
gun in the hands of a conscien-
tious soldier is a moral force for
peace, and so is a powerful bat
tie fleet in the hands of a great,
civilized nation.

course upon his weakness or his
faults. Make fun of them. Point
out his little eccentricities of
manner or speech, and if you can
enlist the assistance Of some
friend in this, all the better A
young girl can stand anything but
ridicule
She will defy you and marry
drunkard or a gambler, or a man
with a hectic past, but she viii
quail before the knowledge that
people laugh at a man for eating
peas with his knife, or using bad
grammar or being a rube.
Another effective way of break
ing off an undesirable match is to
send the girl away on a trip, or
TO make a good long visit. Pro
pinquity is responsible for more
marriages than anything else. At
the love time Of life a girl is sure
to imagine that she cherishes a
deathless passion for any good
looking man who happens to be in
sight. but get her away from him
and his spell is broken.
Cured Girl s Infatuation,
She sees other men. She gets
a new standard Of comparison.
with the almost invartable result
that in six months she wouldn't
look at the man that she thought
she was so crazy to marry. It's a
case of counter irritation, and it
works out as well in love as it
does in medicine.
Still another way 10 deal with
the situation is TO quit theorizing
and preaching about it, and give
the girl a living picture of the
way the marriage she proposes TO
make would work out in real life.
I once knew a wise father who
followed this course.
His daughter. a dainty, cult
waited girl who had been reared
amidst the most refined surround
ings thought she was in love
with a handsome Young man who
was himself coarse and vulgar.
and came from a family far be-
low the girls in social status.

Surely. Here are few simple

His Own Better Nature.

No doubt some persons would
see, in the resistless impulse that
restrained that shot, a mystic in
fluence which, for some providen-
tial purpose, paralyzed the finger
that was curved to press the trig-
ger; but such ideas belong to the
days when the Olympian gods
were believed to guide the spear
of Achilles or to throw a mantle
of invisibility about Hector.

NNE or the most slgnlncant
~ revelations of the mind of
the soldier in battle that
have ever seen is in a letter from
Confederate soldier to General
J. L, Chamberlain. which the gen
oral quotes in his dramatic story
4 the awful battle of Gettysburg
in HEARST'S MAGAZINE for
June.
The letter is too long to be in
serted in this brief article. but
you should read it in full, and in
connection with the vivid picture
Of the scenes of that heroic con-
test (the mightiest battle ever
fought on American SOLD, in order
to understand its significance.
Impossible to Pull Trigger.
The incident to which the let
ter refers occurred during the
struggle among the rocks for the
possession of the famous Round
Tops" The writer, who was
member of an Alabama regiment,
had placed himself in a secure po-
sition between two rocks, where,
unseen himself he had a clear
view Of the nearby Federal lines,
and particularly Of General Cham
berlain, whose rank he recognized
nv his 1tpiforD,
He knew the importance of
picking off officers, and he drew
a bead on General Chamberlain,
resting his gun on a rock to get a
sure aim. But, as he was about
to pull the trigger, a sudden
qualm arrested him, and he did
not fire Then he grew ashamed
Of his weakness and drew a bead
a second time.
Il had you, perfectly certain.
But that same queer something
shut right down on me.1 couldn't
pull the trigger and l gave it up
that is, your life"
There are plenty of stories of
the blind madness and of the I'M
natural calm that, at different
times, possess the soldier in bat
tie, making him, in one case,
shoot and thrust and strike al
most without volition. and, in the
other case, perform similar acts
with the cold. unsympathetic pre-
cision of a machine; but it is rare,
outside of fiction, to hear of an
incident like this, where con-
science asserts its rights
