TALMAGE NOT SURPRISED
Great Minister Didn't Marvel 4
Scepticism of journalistic Race

One Of the greatest trials of the
newspaper profession is that its mem
bers are compelled to see more of
the shame Of the world than in any
other profession. Through every news
paper office, day after day, all the
wickedness of the world, church bick-
erings. and all the mistakes that want
to be corrected, all the dull speakers
that want to be thought eloquent, all
the meanness that wants to get its
wares noticed gratis in the editorial
columns in order to save the tax CT
advertising; all the cracked brain
philosophers whose stories are as long
as their hair and as gloomy as their
finger nails in mourning because be-
reft Of soap, all the bores who come
to stay a few minutes but stay hours:
through all the editorial and report
orial room all the follies and shame
of the world are seen day by day and
the temptation is to believe neither
God, nor man, nor woman. 1t is no
surprise to tell me that in this pro-
fession there are so many skeptical
men. only wonder that journalists
believe anything-Talmage.

WAITS OF WARFARE
New York Harbor Presents Strange
Sight as The Sea of Dead
Ships

The Sargossa Sea, so long the pleas
fng haunt of the more fantastic Of
beSt-seller novelists, has loosed its
mornings, drifted away from the fate
ful slow whirlpool of the Indian Ocean,
and cast anchor in New York harbor
Here at least is a curious collection
of shipping, caught in this back-wa-
ter Of international war, which might
coneeivably pass itself off as being
nearly related to the mythical argo-
sizes OF the Sea of Dead Ships. The
New York Press explains:
From Ellis Island to Tottenville,
IN the Upper Bay, there is to be seen
to-day sight not equaled anywhere
in the world. In this greatest port
of this greatest neutral Nation lie
strings Of ships flying the flags Of
all the countries now graphing to the
death of Europe They are so close
together that the proverbial biscuit
could be tossed almost from one to
the other. so close that scowls and
hard words are communicated easily
enough by the crews. Yet they lie in
amity; the mantle of this Nation COW
erS all alike
II is a striking illustration of the
part this country is playing-and we
trust may continue to play-in this
great war drama. Our Nd in combat
is given to no nation; our hospitality
IS extended TO ALL
Here are British tramps and Ger
man liners, Russian emigrant ships
and French freighters, Austrian hook
erS and many others, their ensigns
all futtering. Some may grow weary
of inaction, perhaps, and slip out past
Sandy Hook, to brave the dangers Of
destruction or capture. How many
will be afoat a year from now?
