The list of contracts in this country for arms
and ammunition for European belgerents other than
Germany Austria and Turkey obtained by the Ger
man ambassador at Washington is amazing. And
perhaps it might be considerably enlarged Included
IN this list contracts for million rifles, three
hundred million cartridges, nine hundred six-inch
howitzers twelve million dollars worth of artillery
munitions fifteen hundred machine guns, fifty large
gnns TWO hundred armored and millions Of
pounds OF powder.
And this with little than FIVE months of
the war in Europe Shiplosds of these supplies have
been sent to Europe and ships are loading in all our
ports AS the war progresses the contracts will con-
tnue. America is concentrating the war. 1t is
not unlawful TO sell arms and ammunition to bel
ligerents to maintain devastating war, and yet we
enlarged the sale at the Mexican border and shut
out two eargoes of arms at Vera Cruz consigned to
the Mexican government.
All the munitions of contracted for go TO one
set of begerents. That seems an infraction of our
Command of the should not extin-
guish for US a moral and International duty. We
have no quarrel with any of the European nations,
and yet the source of supply for one alliance
s.gainst another. And We helping to prolong the
war which millions of people in this country have
prayed to be ended.

BIRTHDAY OF NOTED WOMEN
DECEMBER is
Catherine of Aragon chrstiane Becker
BY NARY MARSHALL.
DECEMBER IS
NTdROH, NHTI
Copyrighted 1914.

Chrisuane Amalie Luise Becker,
who was born December 10, 1777. was
one of the most charming German
actresses that ever lived. She was the
subject of the poet Goethe'e Flu
phrosyne."
Catherine of Aragon, the FIRST wife
OF Henry VII, was born December 10,
1885 She was the youngest child OF
Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain. who
is remembered to US Americans as
having helped Columbus by selling
her Jewels, and she was the mother OF
Mary Tudor, known as Bloody
Mary by her enemies.
Catherine was brought up with
great care and received an unusually
good education, under the direction OF
her gifted mother. When she was
still a child Henry VII. of England
began to negotiate for the marriage Of
Catherine to his eldest son Arthur,
and when she was sixteen years old
she was married to the young prince.
Owing TO their tender age, the mar
rage was never consummated and
Catherine was left child-widow
within a few months of her wedding
day. She was then in England, and
when her mother and father sent word
TO the English king to return Cathe-
rine with a large share of her mar
riage portion. the English king
started negotiations to marry Cath
crime to his younger son Henry, who
was six years younger than Cathe-
rine.

rHE PRoRLEM or ADULT 1LmTERAcN.


Although New York in the decade ending with the
census year showed a reduction of 50 per cent in
lllteraey among children the terate percentage of
the entire population remained the This is
the result of adult alien immigration and Dr. Finley,
State commissioner of education calls attention to the
public duty of educating men and women we'll as
children
To quiet the racial, religious. political and other
hatreds of generations which the unlettered alien
brings from Europe task that be best achieved
by teaching him read and write the language of his
home and it is a subject that every State should

The city of Newark has engaged in this work and the
city superintendent last annual report shows crafty
ing progress.
The literacy provision in the immigration bill be-
fore Congress, which is strongly opposed by the
ightened sentiment in the large centres OF popula
ton could not relieve American communities of the
duty of educating the alien, for, although be may
pass literacy test he will be fitted for cit
izenshp than if he illiterate. He will much
need schooling
The Goddess of Liberty in New York ha1bor holds
aloft her torch for all honest immigrants who come
to seek asylum in our republic, and national
policy should be that of welcome to all. For the
wealth and prosperity of country has been largely
built up by the millions who have come to us in the

TWO PROPOSED BRIDGES.

South Jersey is now realizing the necessity for a
bridge across the Delaware River at Camden
bridge at that point would add millions to the value
city and suburban property in Camden and adion-
ing counties and its benefits would be felt from Tren
ton to Cape May. Philadelphia Is great market
Tor South Jersey agricultural products and bridge
across the Delaware would be an immense advantage
10 farmers.
But to get bridge State aid will be necessary
Ye State has financed the inland waterway for South
Jersey, but the Legislature would not undertake TO
Anance Delaware River bridge by appropriations.
New Jersey wants two bridges, one across the
hudson and one to span the Delaware. The two
propositions go together. North Jersey counties
cannot expected to bond themselves heavily for
hudson bridge and sanction State appropriations for
n bridge for South Jersey counties.
But it is practicable to build both bridges by the
use of the credit of the State in financing the two
enterprises This could be done either by special
election or an amendment to the Constitution elm
mating the limit of 800 900 for State debt.
: New Jersey has bonded debt although all the
large counties and municipalities debts. As the
annual State appropriations unequal TO financing
large undertakings, the State must go without. In
rhe important matter Of bridge across the Hudson
il is doubtful IL the counties the Hudson can
ever shoulder the great cost The enterprise ia really
State undertaking and should have State aid.

foremost American pastors of the
orthodox stripe. No one more siren
uously or rigidly defended the doc
trines which characterized the So
called orthodox church than did Ly-
man Beecher He was especially
hostile 20 the teachings and doctrines
OF the Unitarians, which in his day
were a large and hourishing denom-
ination, especially in Massachusetts.
Mr. Beecher said that one of his
fathers intimate friends was Samuel
Hoar. who at one time Was deemed
q lawyer worthy to rank with Jere-
miah Mason, Daniel Webster and
Rufus Choate. Two of Judge Hoar's
sons gained national fame, one of
them. lockwood Hoar, having served
as attorney general in President
Grants cabinet, and the other for
thirty years as United States Senator
from Massachusetts.
Upon ono point Judge Hoar and
Lyman Beecher were at variance so
great that they sometimes INDUCED
IN heated arguments. Judge Hear
was a pillar in the Unitarian church.
Lyman Beecher frequently attacked
the Unitarian doctrine and Judge
Hoar as earnestly defended ii. At
times it seemed as if Lyman Beecher
were persuaded that the Unitsrians
could not enter the kingdom of
heaven. One day a message was
brought to DR.. Beecher informing
him that Judge Hoar lay at the point
of death instantly DR.. Beecher
harnessed up his horse, called upon
his son-in -law-Professor Stowe,
whose wife was Harriet Beecher
Stowe-and went to Concord twenty
miles away. Upon their arrival at
Judge Hoar's home they were told
that the judge had passed away all
hour or two earlier. Dr. Beecher
asked if he might enter the chamber
of death. He was alone with the
dead for awhile. When he came from
the room he said, Mr.. Hoar was a
good man, firm in his faith. and
am convinced he has passed on to
hia eternal heritage
And when Henry Ward Beecher
told this anecdote he said It illus
trated the true spirit of tolerance.

Why South Should Hold on to Laboring Men

In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside. the national farm paper
published in Springfield O., Judson
C. Welliver, Washington correspond
ent of that publication, writes an in
teresting article in which he shows
why the South should make every
possible effort to continue raising full
CROPS of cotton. The reason is that
they need to hold on to their negro
helpers lest they lose them. He tells
the following story TO prove his
point:
"Once upon time there was a
great production OF rice In the swamp
sections of the South Atlantic coast.
1t was profitable and seemed likely
to go on forever and ever
"Then the Gulf rice fields began 10
develop: and presently they were
turning out so much that rice didn't
pay to raise. The Atlantic coast
growers laid off. They'd wait until
prices promised some profit.
Now see what happened to them:
"Their rice laborers were negroes
who through many generations in
Africa and our own swamp sections
had become immune as regards ma
Iarja. They didn't get 1t. They were
the only people capable of raising
rice in that coast region.
when rice culture was suspended
these immune laborers scattered.
Then the price went back. and when
It was time to resume the business
they couldn't be brought back.
"rhey have never come back.
Neither has the rice crop OF the
South Atlantic coast. And it never
will: it never can

OPINIONS AND VIEWS FROM THE EXCHANGES
The Question Of Rural creait..

From The Baltimore sun.
We do not believe the farmers will
rise up and call Secretary Houston
blessed on the strength of that part
OF his annual report which argues
against the adoption Of any govern
ment system Of rural credits. Right
" or wrongly, the farmer has taken
il into his head that he has been
neglected in the distribution OF
favors, and that he requires some
special provision for his financial
needs. Secretary Houston declares
that the new bank law takes just
and particular knowledge OF the
farmers requirements" and that any
further credit needs OF the agrtcul-
tural community should be cared for
by Co operative credit associations,
financed with private funds and by
means Of land mortgage banks, like
wise privately capitalized.
It is possible that Secretary Hous-
ton IL right, and it is only reasonable
to assume that he las devoted very
careful thought and study to the sub
jec. before formally committing him
self to this expression And unques-
tionably no such legislation should
be considered from the standpoint
of favor to q special class or as an
act Of charity; we believe with Mr.
Houston that American farmers are
too independent TO wish to be placed
In any such category.
But tire secretary's views can
scarcely be considered conclusive OF
the question, since 50 many othel
intelligent people have reached OPP
posite convictions after careful con
sideration Of it. Those who have
studied some Of the European sys-
TENS of rural credits have beer

negotiations in favor of himself, but
this proposition was rejected india-

Eventually, after much discussion.
Catherine was married to the young
Prince Henry when she was twenty

the young king was devoted to his
wife and GATHERINGS confessoIs said

on Henry proved to be fickle-minded
and, though Catherine humored. him
in every way. he soon grew eager for

their first three children, all sons
that Henry VIII. first thought OF
divorce. Catherine had for many
years lived a life as strict as that
of clustered nun and it was
thought by Henry that it would be
easy to force her retirement from the
position of queen, but Catherine was
not as submissive as he wished. She
refused to have the legality OF her
own marriage questioned and she re-
fused also to have the position of her
little daughter Mary, who was at the
time heir TO the throne, disputed

died before Henry found it neces

suggests the appropriateness OF the
tribute:
What man Marx Twain was.
Beginning as q barefoot boy in a
sleepy Mississippi river town, jour
neyman printer with a little educa-
ton and no promise Of o future, a
river pilot, an unlucky prospector, he
became q man of worldwide fame and
immense influence. His books have
gone everywhere, have made genera
tons laugh and weep. He was not
only q great humorist, he was q man
of high courage and fine ideals, a
man who hated shanls and lies, and
struck at them f1ercely He knew
human nature, laughed at its queer
contradictions, admired and respected
its goodness and kindness. Always
he is intensely American, without
being provincial Not only did he
have a genius for writing, he had a
genius for being a man.
Such men have q power for good
that il is the duty and privilege ol
after generations to keep alive and
to emphasize. In every State there

also expressed the hope that as a re-
