and could be induced to take q hand
in it. Even in this day, when Chris.

and give them a great victory and

ancestors they nattcr God by telling
Him how great and strong He is,

The War and Religions.

This article appeared in The Mil
waukee Leader of September Is,
1914, and was written by X. A..
Dague. For the good of society at
large it was circularized at the sug-
gestion of W. W. Jones, a Socialist,
of Harrison, Ark:
There has recently been published
| in Europe and America a prophecy
of the late Count Tolstoi. He pre-
dicted the dethronement of all kings,
the collapse of capitalism, the coming
of democratic governments. He
said that for centuries the Christian
church, so.called, had been the prop
and support Of tyrants and war
! lords. He predicted that as result
of the war the present paganzed
church doctrines would be altered
and improved, Theology would be
changed from monotheism Tor a be-
lief in a personal anthropromorphc
Cod to pantheism or a belief that
the universe in its totality is God.
Scholarly students of the history
of religions assert the monothelstlc
God idea or conception originated
in the brains Of ignorant savagcs OF
the early ages Of the world. The
chief OF the tribe was he who had
the most physical strength and had
the largest number Of scalps dang
ling 20 his belt, He ruled his sub
iects most tyrannically, He killed
those who disobeyed him. To as
suagc his wrath and gain iayors
from him, his subjects prostratcd
themselves before him; they prayed
to him, implored and Aattered him;
they gave him presents and made
many sacrifices TO him,
The lightning and thunder and
cclpscs and earthquakes caused
these untutor2d children Of nature
TO believe that there was big spirit
chief or king in the sky and that he
was often angry. They prostratcd
themselves before the invisible chlcI.
tain, PRAYED aud cntrcatcd and sup
picatcd him, and brought him "thc
fruits of the field and the iatljugs of
the flock and offered sacrifices unto
him. They believed that for doing
these things their god assisted them
in capturing food and in lighting
battles. Moses frequently killed
doves and lambs and buIlocks and
offered burnt offerings to Jehovah,
and the Bible says the incense OF the
burning acsh ascc0dcd into Heaven,
that God smcIIcd the sweet SAVIOR
thereof and his fierce anger was
often appcascl and he was some
times induced to do things which he
had sworn in his wrath he would
not do.

When House Votes On

CLARKANO UNDERWOOD VOTED
Against Administration Policy
Wilson's Power Plainly
Demonstrated.
VICTORY SEEMS CERTAIN NOW

Washington. March 27.-Presi-
dent Wilson to-day won the opening
skirmish of the greatest legislative
battle of his administration when
the House, over bitter protests from
recognized leaders and an almost
solid minority opposition, adopted a
special rule for Che consideration Of
the bill repeating the free tolls pro-
vision of the Panama canal act.
Speaker Clark, Democratic Leader
Underwood, Republican Leader
Mann and Progressive Leader Mar
dock, headed those lined up against
the administration.
Two votes demonstrated the Pres
ident's commanding influence with
his party in Congress. On the first
test, motion to end debate and
precluded amendment to the rule,
carried by a vote of 207 to 176; the
rule itself was adopted by 200 to
172.
The balloting was preceded by AN
hour of impassioned speech-making,
in which Speaker Clark, Represen-
tative Underwood, Representative
Fitzgerald and other Democratic
leaders voted against the motion to
cut off debate.
The Kentucky delegation voted
as follows:
Barkley, Stanley, Johnson,
Sherley, Rouse, Cantrill, Fields.
No-Helm. Langley, Powers and
Thomas.
All of the Indiana delegation vot-
ed in favor of the rule.

the passage of the repeal bill itself
on Tuesday or Wednesday by a
majority of more than 100. Several
of the twenty hours allotted for de-
bate had been consumed when the
House adjourned.
The Presidents triumph is con-
sidered more notable by the rank
and file of all parties, because of the
unusual alignment of forces within
the Democratic ranks. Two men

In proposing the new society, the

bantam Throne.
A SHORT REIGN is PREDICTED

Berlin. March 2S.--Europe has
found amusement in The financial
embarrassment of Prince William of
WED, who was forced to arrange all
the preliminaries of his ascent to
the throne of Albania on credit.
Not until the last moment before
his departure from Berlin did the
young monarch-elect succeed in get
ting any of the $l.000,000 loan
which had been arranged by the
Powers. ...--.. .
The result was that he was unable
to meet the bill of $3.50 for moving
his personal effects and furniture to
the palace at DuraZZo. The ship
ment was entrusted to the German
agent of the Austrian State Rail-
ways, who finally obtained orders
from Vienna to send the bills for
transportation to the Austrian for
eign Office.
Austria also paid the railway
ar S anu llOltl blilo VI liit INV
monarch on his round of state visits
to the capitals of Europe and fur
nished the steamer to take him TO
DuraZZo. The gorgeous uniform
which the prince designed for his
state entry was turned out by the
Austrian court tailor, and the AL
bantam notables, who came to the
princes German home at Neuwied
to offer to him the crown, borrowed
in Vienna the money for the first
payment on that necessary piece of
royal equipment.
The crown consists of circle of
gold set with turquoises, above
which are six intersecting arches of
gold. supporting at the apex the
white star of Skanderbeg." Skan-
derbeg was the Albanian national
hero and last defender of Christian
and national interests in the Bal
kans against the invading Moslems.
He spent his boyhood as a Turk
ish captive and embraced Moham-
mechanism. but finally escaped to Al
bania, organized an Instruction
and established an Albanian princi-
pality which he successfully de-
Tended against both Turks and Ven
etians for twenty-five years during
the Fifteen Century. Prince Will

Victor. born May 10. 1913, will. ii
is announced, be renamed Skander-
beg and ultimately become Skan-
derbeg II. of Albania, should the
kingdom continue its precarious eX-
istence until that time.
Good judges of Balkan conditions
here assign an existence of not
more than ten years to the new.
kingdom. and the German foreign
Office is convinced that William may
even lose his life within that period.
