Under the title, France in War Time as Seen from the Saddle, Frank Ed ward Johnson, F. R. G. S., who was at. Pau in France when the European war broke out, gave a particularly entertaining talk on Friday evening before the Mems league of the Gen. tral Baptist church. Through his in- innate knowledge of European affairs, gained by his travels and residence there. MT. Johnson was able to speak with authority upon his subject and his presentment of the European sit uation was an informing statement of conditions on many points, both before and after the great conflict began.
 He was listened to with the closest attention and given much applause and a rising vote of thanks by his appreciative audience of about 100 members from other mems leagues of the churches in the city, which had been invited to hear the talk.
 Mir. Johnson's talk came after the league members had enjoyed a sup 4ner served by the ladies of the church and had held{ their annual meetfng at which officers were elected The supper was served Tn Push~eI chapel, but for the talk the audience came into the adjoining room in the church
 MT. Johnson was introduced bv
 Charles L. Stewart who has been the Iea2u6 president TOT IIl0 past SNaA.
 In opening his talk, MT Johnson
 complin1 ented the leaere upo~ its fine men1N Nershfr- and spoke of his aJorre- -e'atio~ of the opportunity to appear

 Germany's placing in the field last
 year 800 900 more men than that coun- try had eyer had before. France was
 compelled to match this by enforcins the three year obligatory service which enabled that country to place almost equal forces against Germanv'S on the frontier Thanks also to tht l indornitable courage of the Belgian. the Germans were checked.
 He went on to speak of the won 1 derfuI preparedness of Germany witf i it's chain of fortresses, east and west with interior parallel lines of defens' and a submarine base at Helgoland. 1 He declared that Germany declared war at this time, because she though | it propitious. having reached her max | in1um strength and she was deceived as to internal conditions in Englard l advisers had ted him were in a stat

Causes of Present War

nations are warlike she must con-
troll the sea.
The neutral mind does not readily
indict a nation In this war. 1t Is a
war OF policy. We believe. and one
that might have been avoided II the
determination had not rested with
autocracy. There were grievances
and causes. II one admits they were
Irresistible the conclusion might as
well be that thea sooner the war came
the better. We do not believe they
were irresistiblej They were serious,
but we believe hat they were made
irresistible by tie grandiloquence Of
monarchy. by the east with which
autocracy commits a people to q
course of conduct from which there
is no drawing back.
Europe. without kings. might have
reconciled these serious Disagree
ments, but 1t Is only partisan who
finds his ability to pick and indict
the criminal nation unembarassed by
the complexity Of facts and the con-
fusion of cause.
Certainly the Indictment cannot
be specific. It must be general. One
may say that such and such condi-
tion OF autocracy. produced events
which could come to only one end.
but for each definite act there is q
|defined defense. ''I irr
