True Christianity.

The Circle Magazine contains o
symposium, contributed by 200 or
more ministers OF New York city, on
the duty OF the church to the strug.
CLING poor. A majority Of the minis.
tiers believe that the mission Of the
church Is purely spiritual; the minori.
ty holds that the church cannot &C.
complish Its spiritual mission unless
material conditions are right.
Strange as It may seem, the more lib.
eral the creed Of the ministers, the
more emphatic their declarations that
the church must minister TO the
struggling poor.
The symposium resulted from the
difference of treatment by New York
churches during the past winter Of
the unemployed In that city. Some
churches treated the unemployed as
disturbers Of the peace and closed
their doors to them. Others sheltered
and fed them. Still others went 80
far as to endeavor to find employment
for them. In his contribution one
liberal minister says that ~ the
church fall to make this world what
1t should be, 1t has no right to under.

London, Dec 29.-G015 P. M.)-The
American note of protest against the
British treatment of American ships
and insisting upon an early improve
ment came as a complete surprise to
the British public, If not to the gov
eminent officers, as there had been
virtually no intimation that any fric-
ton had arisen between the two gov
ernments.
The placards posted by the evening
papers were given over exclusively 20
the American note and the papers
gave it the largest headlines they,
have given any news during the past
month. Consequently, the British peo-
pie regard this as one of the most i'm
portant occurrences of the whole war.
Nothing of the kind since President
Cleveland's Venezuelan message has
produced such a sensation.

The Evidence

The county officers who have been
trying to learn what became of Hill
man after he left his home on the
night of the 21st believe that he was
attacked because Of his activity in
making liquor seizures. The evidence
presented at the hearing was purely
circumstantial. Taking the witness
stand in his own behalf, Nadeau en-
tered a general denial of the assault
charge, and attempted to prove an
abb.
Testimony that Nadeau was in Is
land Falls about the time Hillman
was last seen was given by James
Kallerhan. after the defendant had
declared he was not here that night
Kallerhan said that he had recognized
Nadeau at the hearing as a man whom
he saw in a team in this town with
another man on the night in ques-
ton. The witness added that he saw
Nadeau three different times between
7.30 and s o'clock. In his direct testi-
mony Nadeau denied that he assault
ed Hillman, and declared that he had
no knowledge of the missing mans
whereabouts He testified that blood
found on a knife was from deer that
he had dressed. His son and daugh-
ter corrobcrated his statement about
the knife.

Many Months
PROBABLE ACTION

London, Dec. 90, 90 p. M.-The note
of the washington government to
Great Britain protesting against the
detention of American cargoes by
British warships has not as yet reach
ed tile British foreign Office, although
a synopsis OF it has been published
in London with the permission of the
British Press Bureau which has show
ed no disposition to conceal the Amer
lean grievances in this direction.
The American stand has caused lit
tie surprise in official circles, as ne
gotiations extending over several
months between ambassador PaSe and
Foreign Secretary Grey have centered
about the determination of the ulti-
mate destination of the American car
goes in question, the present protest
summarizes all the grievances of the
United States in this connection.

Speaking on the subject of Public
Works." Frank OHara of the Catholic
University of America declared it is the
duty of those charged with the eXpendi-
ture of the public money for labor to
study the conditions OF the labor mar
ket Even where the cost of executing
public work is slightly higher in indus

found that in the end it is true economy
to furnish the workers of nation with
a steady opportunity to earn living
rather than to furnish them with t3ts-'

Miss Juliet Stewart Poyntz of Boston
said that caprice on the part of women
who refuse to wear last years dresses
and hats makes 1t impossible for manu-
facturers to provide steady employment
for the workers because they never
know what kind to make until the last

Legislation that would make employ

employees at all seasons was advocated
by Irene Osgood Andrews Of New York.

Possible Friction

The first impression of the public Is
that the note may create friction and
perhaps some unfriendly feeling, al
though the newspapers point out that
1t specifically states that the repre-
sensations were made in a friendly
spirit. The situation is comparable TO
that which arose at the time Of the
South African Uar, rsaen neutral shlss-
pers began to send cargoes intended
for the Transvaal Republic to the neu-
trei port of Delagoa Bay.
The Washington note had not reach
ed the foreign office this afternoon,
but it could not have been dealt with
had 1t arrived as Sir Edward Grey.
secretary for foreign affairs, who has
been away for the Christmas holi-
days, is not returning until tomorrow.
The War News
Even the war news was allotted a
secondary place to the note in the news
columns of the papers, although that
coming from the Russian front was
highly gratifying to the Allies. There
has been a slackening of the fight
ing in northern Poland between the
lower Vistula and Pilica river, where
the Russians have captured some
German trenches, prisoners and guns
an indication, n is believed here, that
the German frontal attack on the army
guarding Warsaw has been definitely
checked.
In southern Poland the Russians also
record some success, while in Galicia
they have apparently afflicted defeat
on the Austrians almost as serious as
suffered in Servia.
Since their latest offensive com
menced, the Russians have taken So
600 Austrian prisoners and captured
many guns, according TO the Rus
sian officials reports and if,as was es-
timated, Austria has between three and
four army corps on its re-entry into
Salicia it must have lost more than a
third of the number in killed, wounded
and prisoners. The state of the roads
which are feet deep in mud, has pre-
vented the Russians from making the
pursuit effectively as 1t might have
done could the Cossacks have found
a firm footing for their horses.
OF the lighting in the west the French
and German reports are in direct con-
fict. The French claim to have occu-
pied the village of st. Georges, which
is on the main road between Newport
and Bruges, and two miles from the for
mer town. On the other hand the Ger
man report says:
I'VE nave gained some ground near
Newport"
Heavy fighting also is taking place In
the Argonne and on the heights of the
Mouse. The French report apparently
refers to later events than those record
ed in Berlin, for Paris tells of the re-
capture of trench which the German
communication mentions as having been
captured by the Germans. The French
are investing Steinbach, in upper Alsace.
| News from Germany is coming in very
slowly, as cable communication between
England and Holland and Germany have
| been wrecked in many places.
With the close of the holidays the re-
cruiting boom has recommfnced in Eng
land. Large numbers enlised today.

England's Efforts

The British foreign office has con-
stantly reiterated it's regret at the de-
lay to American ships, and high off,
Gals have expressed a desire to ex-
pedite the examination of American
cargoes as speedily as possible under
the existing trying conditions.
The statement that the delaying of
cargoes by the British authorities is
held responsible for a certain depres-
sion in American trade has created
some surprise among British officials,
who today voiced the idea that Amer
leans holding such views must fail
to realize the wide and sweeping effect
upon American commerce of the dis
appearance of German merchant ships
from the sea, as we'll as other effects
of the war beyond the control of Great
Britain and her allies.

PRESIDENT WARNS SHIPPERS
AGAINST CONTRABAND-.HO
U. S. MIGHT SEEK REPRISALS

that one or two isolated cases would
embarrass all shipments.
Possible Reprisals
Some officials expressed the opinion
that one of the results of the present
agitation might be the enactment of leg
islation which would penalize the making
of fraudulent or dishonest manifests of
cargoes. In some quarters there was
talk of possible reprisals by the United
States in case the British feet did not
accord better treatment to American
cargoes.
One idea in congressional circles
was the possible enforcement of an
embargo against shipment to the AL
lies of products which the United
States considered legitimate aruelas
of trade, but which the British fleet
prevented from reaching Germany or
Austria.
In circles close to the White House
however, the belief was confidently ex-
pressed that none of these measures
would be necessary as Great Britain
understanding the seriousness of the
situation to American industries would
take steps TO afneiiOTdte the COnul-
tons against which this government
had protested.
State department officials would
venture no guess as to the size of the
damage claims being accumulated by
detentions of American cargoes, but
President Wilson himself predicted
that millions Of dollars in private in
IDENTITIES eventually would have &c
be paid by Great Britain if the cor
rectness of the American position rs
expressed in it's note were maintained
and he confidently believed it would
be as it was based on principles of in
ternational law hitherto generally ac-
cepted.
Sir Cecil Spring Rice, the British
ambassador, who received copy OF
the note at the same time that II
was sent to London to be transmitted
to Sir Edward Grey. the British for
eign secretary, declined to make any
comment on 1t.

statement as to the activities of the
navy in OBTAINING suspected cargoes
which will put these contraband troubles
in different light. The foreign office
has time and again expressed its regrets
that merchants in no way violating neu-
trality should suffer delay because their
shipments We're mixed with copper and
other articles declared to be contraband
which frequently have been fond hid
den under coal or other heavy cargoes.
But at the same time it takes the po-
sition that s-shipments at sea aud
other sharp practices have made careful
inspection imperative to the welfare of
the Allies. Frequently cargoes are so
loaded that an inspection makes neces-
sary complete shifting of virtually ev-
erything in the vessel
The statement that this protest of the
United States is thoroughly approved by
President Wilson has created much COM
ment here and also has added weight to
its effect, although there is some dispo-
sition In London to regard 1t to a GER
tain extent in the light of a protest
necessary 10 satisfy the insistent de-
smands of Congress. British officials
have expressed surprise at the disposi-
ton on the part of certain Americans
to blame Great Britain for being one of
the causes of the depression In cotton.
This is held by them to be due to over
production and not to any action on the
part of the British government.

the threat of the Turkish authorities
to imprison the boats crews, they
were informed that the Russian cruis-

an event, and, consequently no one
was made prisoner. No shots were

communications, Thaw devoted an
hour or more to his piano. The ref

late at night the strains of classical
selection can be heard issuing from
the reception room of the Clement

Thaw is particularly interested IN
the numerous letters he receives from

country Not a day goes by but scores
of such letters flow In. His mail is said
to be the bulkiest of any private citi-
