CAUSES OF EUROEAN WARS

: The war now being waged in Europe
is not the only one fought on that cont
inent for trivial eason There: are
historical records showing insignificant
incidents to have brought on years of
carnage. At one time in the history of
France a visit to the royal barber plung-
ed two nations-France and England
into intermittent strife which lasted for
nearly 800 years. According to the
story, the archbishop of Rouen persuad-
ed Louis VII to remove his beard. in
common with subjects. The act led to
so much friction with the queen that
Louis divorced her, to become a few
months later the wife of Henry II of
England. From this marriage centuries
of bloodshed may be said to have fol-
lowed.
Trivial causes for other wars may be
recounted; though many of them are
well known to students of history:
A broken teapot started a war in
China $50 years ago which cost half a
million lives. The teapot was the cher
ished possession of a dignitary high in
favor with the emperor. When travel
ing through a lawless province in the
northwest of China some of his retinue
who had fallen behind the main body
were intercepted by band of robbers
and among the spoils the teapot wa:
found and contemptuously thrown OF
the ground and broken. The mandarin
reported his loss to the emperor a force
of soldiers was sent out, and a long ant
terrible war ensured.
Lord Palmerstton once said that only
three men had ever known the exacr
nature of the troubles in Schleswig
Holestien which led to two great wars
Two of them had died before the war'
broke out, and he, the third of the tri
nifty, had completely forgotten what i
was all about.
The manipulation by Count Bismark
then Prussia's foreign minister, of
telegram set Prussia and France flying
. at each others threats in 1870. Thu
French ambassador went to Ems, wher'
Emperor William I then was, to asl
him not to approve the ambition o
Prince Leopold to become the King
of Spain. The king refused to give
definite answer, but Prince Anthony O.
Hohenzollern withdrew his sons can
didacy. A report of the conference
was submitted by telegram to Conn
Bismark with authorization to publish
it. Bismark altered the text, and IL
the changed form gave it to the news
papers and through them to France. A:
Bismark wrote it the report was unfav-
; orable to France, and the internationa.
war with all its horrors followed.

Religious Conditions Among

GREAT INCREASE IN INTEREST
Liberal Attitude Taken by Govern
incnt Has Wonderful Effect on
People-Niust Be Taught to Grasp
Christian Idea of God.

Correspondence of Associated Press
kARGlZAWA, JAPAN, September 80.
The Rt. Rev. H. St. George Tucker.
Bishop of Kyoto and missionary of the
Bishop Tucker, of Southern Virginia,
delivered an interesting address to the
American missionaries during their re-
cent retreat in the mountains here.
Japan wants religion, the bishop said,
but only as means to an end and
not because of It's intrinsic truth or
reality. Surveying religious conditions
among the non-Christians OF Japan DR..
Tucker found everywhere n decided
increase of interest In, religion. Japa-
nese officials Were talking about re-
liSion, he said, and advising their sub
ordinatos to pay respect to 1t. Ever
since the war with Russia the people
had felt the need OF something beyond
human power.
The liberal attitude taken by govern
memt officials had had a wonderful
effect on the people. especially in the
smaller places The national fear of
socialism, he said. had impressed the
people with tho fact that loyalty can
not stand without idealism, and ideal
Ism was impossible without religion.
Does this interest signify move
toward Christianity?" no asked On
the one side here was an at;cmpt to
revive Confucianism as a basis Ct
morality--an attempt that had been
unsuccessful. On the other hand there
was an effort to interest The masses i'm
reverence for shrines and sacred
places. as was seen In the addresses
OF government officials, and in the
moral trend of Buddhist sermons.
SUBJECTS OF SERMONS

Bishop Tucker endeavored to ind out
the themes on which Buddhist preach
crs addressed their audiences in the
kyoto district. and was told that the
practical matter of How to Behave in

convinced that the main attitude to-
wards religion was utilitarian. Re-
ligion was wanted, not for the sake
Of truth. but because II would be good
for Japan. Bxpodiency, rather than
truth was the quest. They did not
ask what religion was true, but what
religion would best ut In with Jnpa-

The religion that would do that best
was best, independently of its reality.
And so the missionary found too often
that his convert came to the church, not
for the sake of salvation, but for the
sake of his country.
bishop Tucker concluded:
The Japanese idea of God Is not
the Christian idea. but II Is nearer
tho Christian idea than before. There
is growing conception of one supreme
God of universal power, the idea being
undoubtedly due to the influence OF
Western thought.
