Ancient Building Methods.
from Popular Mechanics Magazine.

In the construction of the great new
Protestant Episcopal Cathedral of st.
John the Divine. in New York, the larg-
est church edifice ever undertaken in
America and vying in size with the
greatest European churches, an effort
is being made to revive the methods by
which the craftsmen Of the middle ages
labored in cooperation to produce the
masterpieces of architecture which still
rank among the most beautiful struc-
lures ever built by man. The archi-
tects. who have built many churches
and cathedrals. have come to the con-
clusion that the only way to hope to
get into the work some of the impress
sive yet elusive qualities that per-
meate the ancient religious monuments
Of England and France. is to endeavor
to follow the methods that led the old
cathedral builders. They hope to gather
together at the new cathedral tried
and trusted artisans. who will work
as much for the love of their calling as
for their wages. These workmen will

stonecutters and carvers, woodwork

craftsmen will have their leaders, who

which on work of this sort usually
amounts to about s per cent of the cost
of the building, will be distributed
regularly in the form of bonuses to
each workman in proportion to his
regular wages. This, in short. is part
of the famous guild system of build
ing as it existed in the thirteenth and
fourteenth centuries.

TRAVELETTE
BY NIKsAH.
Mecca,


Now that Islam has joined Christen-
dom in a carnival Of murder, the holy
city Mecca stands out as the possible
center of fanatical holy war. 1t is
odd how many points of resemblance
there are between Mecca and Jerusa-
lem. One lands at Jaffa, on the Syrian
coast. and rides a few hours on a rail-
road to Jerusalem; one lands at Jiddah,
on the Arabian coast, and it is two
camel marches to Mecca. Jerusalem is
set on four hills. Mecca is surrounded
by hills. Jerusalem was a holy city
centuries before it became David's cap
ital-centuries before Solomon's tenn
pie was built or the Christ crucif1ed
there. So Mecca was a holy city of
desert heathendom many hundreds of
years before Mohammed DESTROYED its
idols and purified its religion.
Like Jerusalem, Mecca lives upon pill
grims. 1t has about $4,000 popula ton,
or practically the same as Jerusalem,
and all these make their living by ca
tering to the wants of the thousands
of pilgrims who come to the holy
shrine. War has stopped the pilgrims
travel and we hear that Jerusalem is
starving. No doubt Mecca is suffering
the same fate.
But in some characteristics the re-
semblance between the Christian and
Moslem cities cannot be traced. Jeru-
salem. thanks to the piety of both
eastern and western churches, is COM
paratively one of the cleanest cities of
the orient in it's morals, although the
dirtiest but two SO far as physical
things are concerned. Mecca Is the dir
tiest city Of all in the east, both physi-
ca1ly and morally. It's only rival, in
deed. is another holy city-Benares, in
India. The unspeakable moral degra-
dation of Mecca is continual subject
of discussion in the Moslem world, and
by far the greater number of pilgrims
that go there are dreadfully shocked.
Yet the fostering sore continues at
the very heart of Islam, and 1t is char
acteristic of that religion that no one
has any authority to do anything to
heal it.
Islam is an intensely democratic re-
ligion, in which the obligation to de-
fend the faith rests equally upon every
individual. There is. of course, a priest
ly organization, but it has little eccle-
siastical power and every man Is his
own priest, with no one between him
and Allah but the prophet. This has
resulted in two distinguishing charac-
teristics of the Moslem faith-none of
its adherents ever deserts it for an
other religion, and it is incapable of
sustaining a powerful organization.
either ecclesiastical or civil.
So that now Mecca, while it may be
the spiritual center of a holy war. will
in no sense become the capital of a
Mohammedan empire, either struggling
or established.

sEATTLE's MED1ATMG PLAN.
Getting Together Its Citizens of the
Warning Nationalities.

FROM the C0nSregatfonallsu
We find ourselves deeply interested in
an undertaking just started in Seattle de-
signed to add moral force to President
Wilson's offer of mediation between the
warning nations. The plan is we'll worth
the attention Of multitudes of persons in
all parts of this country now grieving
over conditions abroad, yet unable to see
any immediate solution Of the problem.
This Seattle movement started with a
meeting of forty representative citizens.
each Of whom was born in one or another
OF the countries now engaged in warfare.
An executive committee was created con-
Sist1ng oi a Belgian, a German. French
man. Japanese Servian and a Brit
isher 1t in turn convened ten or more
representative members of each of the
various natlonalities for further consulta-
ton in the hope that some way would be
found to express effectively the united
desire Of all these American citizens of
foreign origin that war should speedily
be brought to an end.
SO far as We know Seattle has the dis
tinction of being the first city thus to
try to unity its citizens of foreign ex-
traction at a time when naturally they
would be at swords points with enc an
other. Just to get them together at a
common luncheon table is an achieve
ment in itself. Undoubtedly the outcome
would be better understanding of one
another's attitude and the fostering of
common sympathies. notwithstanding 10y
alties which each might own to the coun-
try from which he came. The method
strikes at the heart Of racial prejudices
and antipathies that are to be found in
almost every community in this land. 1t
is the Christian method of closer personal
acquaintance with those with whom one
might be supposed-because of his an
eestry-to differ. 1t is the method of
frank and friendly debate. In short, it
is mediation itself on a small scale, the
influence Of which cannot easily be over
estimated. Let US have just at this juno
ture Of the worlds affairs similar ex-
pressions of brotherliness and high pur-
pose in many cities and towns the coun-

came to an agreement with his family
to take a short holiday in the battle
field of the Marne and beyond Senlts.
The account given me Of his adventures
has features that will bear repetition.
His great difficulty was to be allowed
to go anywhere. He was arrested many
times as a German spy, and at the last
control he was only able to convince the
commanding officer of his good faith by
the simple statement that he was an
English gentleman who had a friend who
was an officer in an Irish regiment and
friend who was an officer in Scottish
regiment and he desired to visit his
friends--where. please, were the Cold
