VIEWS OF REPRESENTATIVES
FOUR BELL|CERENTS AS TO HOW
US. CAN SERVE HUMANITY

New York, Dec. 3o.-Representatives of
four countries engaged in the European
war contribute to current issue of
Worlds Work views on how the United
States, as a neutral nation. can be of the
most service to humanity. The state
ments. which follow, embraces the per-
sonal views Of Sir Edward Grey, secre-
tary of State for foreign affairs of Great
Britain; Count Okuma, premier OF Japan,
and DR.. Won Bethmann- Hollweg, chan
cellor of the German Empire, and the
official Austrian view. submitted by DR..
Constanin Theodor Dumba. the Ambassa-
dor OF Austrta-Hungary to the United
States.
Sir Edward Grey-"If the Worlds
Work wants a contribution to its central
idea Of enquiring how the United States
may best serve the interests Of civiliza-
ton at this period of change and re-
definition: how best their immunity may
be used; and what is their opportunity,
not only selhshly; but enthusiastically: the
only thing l can say Is that a great ma
ton standing outside this European con.
fiict should use what influence it can on
the side OF right and against wrong
Perhaps l may explain how Impossible it
is for a member of a Government who
believe that they are fighting for the In
dependence of their country and that all
they care for and believe Is at stake, to
do anything except plead the cause OF
that country and to ask at least for
sympathy
Count Okuma-"While it would be both
unwise and premature to express at this
time any opinion as to where and how
the present war should be or will be ter
minated and peace be restored, I feel
certain and, therefore, safe to say that
the experiences of this titanic struggle
will bring most forcibly home to US all
a sense of the weighty burdens and the
horrible waste of war. There and then
will be an opportunity for an impartial
wise counsel to prevail. I mean the
counsel for a reduction of armament and
for the cultivation of the spirit of mutual
liberation and esteem among peoples of
different races and creeds, with conse-
quent adherence on the part of all ma
tons to the principle of reciprocal free
dom and equality in their intercourse
with each other. As long as nations of
the world live in armed peace and as
long as they permit their peoples to be
ruled by social animosities or national
prejudices there can be no real peace
and the world will have to suffer forever
But who Is to be the one that shall
give such an impartial counsel and have
1t listened to? To me 1t looks as if by
he

gle. sincerely hope she win remain so
throughout it.
DR.. Won Bethmann- Hollweg--'I have
been asked by the editor of the Worlds
Work to give an answer to the question.
its neutrality serviceable for the purpose
of helping the cause of humanity during
the present terrible war. The answer
seems obvious.
1.-THE people Of the United States Will
best serve the cause of peace and HUI
mainly by being not only neutral accord
ing to the letter of President Wilson's
proclamation. but also impartial in the
spirit of his further utterances. This is
the only way to gain the confidence of
the whole world, and without this conf
dence the United States cannot hope to
render the inapo ant services to the
cause of humanity which 1t wishes to
render.
Germany hopes that peace will come
soon. After the great sacrifices which
the German nation has brought, with an
unanimity and devotion without parallel
in history, no peace can. however. be ac-
ceptable which does not guarantee Ger
many against a second attack from its
present enemies. Germany does not wish
to dominate the world, or, like British
navalism, to rule the waves All it
wants is equal opportunity, open door
politics, and open commerce throughout
the world. Least of all does Germany
desire to seek expansion on the American
Continent. This. however has been said
80 often officially by the Imperial Gov
eminent, that / need hardly repeat it
here"
Official Austrian view-"when. after
the dreadful slaughter of hundreds of
thousands, doubtless signs of 1asstude
slackening of the fiery warlike spirit
amongst the nations in arms will be
perceptible, the moment will have come
for President Wilson to propose once
more his mediation to the belligerent
powers. He is then warranted in the
name of all neutral powers suffering Sc
verely through the war to exercise strong
moral pressure upon the Governments of
the Powers at war. which might be more
ambitious and determined to prolong4 the
struggle than the people themselves.
"On which side ought this pressure to
be brought to bear? l do not hesitate
one moment to state most emphaticaliy
that the duty of the United States will
be to stand UP, during the mediation, for
the weaker part, to prevent the effort of
the victorious Powers-whoever they
may be-from entirely crushing the op-
posed group, to strive strenuously for
the maintenance of the balance of power.
For thus alone can be obtained a lasting
peace instead of an armistice with the
threat of a new terrible confagration."

MAJESTIC TODAY


In the eighth reel of Our Mutual
Girl" Margaret, and her aunt see
Riverside Drive, and the city in a
snow storm. Children bobsledding
skiing and skating along Riverside
Drive, are shown, while scenes show
ing the total suspension of traffic al
80 are included in the film.
On their way home Margaret
watches the pupils of a great public
school as they are dismissed Among
the hundreds of school children are
a score or more of crippled and de-
formed children, who are taken to
their homes in a carry-all.
Mrs. Knickerbocker agrees with her
niece that it would be a splendid idea
to dress up number of dolls for the
crippled girls, and visit is paid to a
Fifth Avenue toy shop. Margaret
takes the dolls home and, assisted by
her aunt and a maid. dresses them
up in beautiful gowns. That night she
dreams that she has been transform
ed into a doll and that her aunt and
maid are dressing her in lingerie and.
and pantalettes of the crinoline
period.
