common mistake of pressing the ques-

new experience for me. You will have
to contend with great deal of stupid
ity on my part. But shall try to be

He uttered polite protest, and
pursued the question no farther. Her
answer had been SO palpably evasive

that made the other notable. The
craftiness of the artist was there, but
the touch Of inspiration was lacking.
Sara was delighted. She was fiat

The discussion which followed the
exhibition Of the sketch at luncheon,
was very animated. 1t served to ex-
cite Leslie to such q degree that he
brought forth from his pocket the
treasured sketch of Hetty, for the pur-
pose of comparison.
The girl who had been genuinely en-

and who had not been by way of know

signs OF The times
Declares War Will Bring About Resur-

and Scepter of Common People.
SWORD WILL KILL MILITARISM

Rev. DR.. Wallace Radcliffe, of the New
York Avenue Church, appeared in his
pulpit yesterday for the first time since
his vacation and was received by a large
congregation. He took as the topic of
his sermon "A Basket OF Summer
Fruit"
"A sheaf OF wheat, 800 bushels OF pros
perity, the summer brings to u.s." said
Rev. DIR. Radcliffe. This wealth Of bread
means wealth of labor and capital and
industry and opportunity.
"A handful of bitter almonds in the
sudden and disastrous gloom at the
White House and in the death Of the
peasant Pope.
Some unripe figs in the remaining per-
plexities Of Mexico and in the question
Ing and possibilities OF the new head Of
the Vatican.
"A bunch of pomegranates. whose very
death means life and whose blood red
color. recalls the blood stains OF the war
In Europe. Not a collapse of Christianity.
II Is not dead by the hand OF its enemies,
but is wounded in the house OF its
friends. These men are Christians, but
the Christians are flying at each others
throats. They did not learn this from
Christ All high ideals are subject TO
shock and indignity.
Militarism is a cancer which the great
Surgeon is cutting out with the sword.
The divine right of beings is to be
buried in these trenches. It looks as
though the fiery chariot OF war were
bringing the resurrection OF Poland, the
freedom Of the Jew and the scepter Of
the common people.
Grapes Of EshkoL The days are full
of such fragrant fruit as the spirit OF the
Red Cross and manifold volunteers OF
money and service. We read with won-
der of the fool of God who surrenders
his ten millions fortune that the poorer
households upon his property may con-
tinue in their humble home life
I'VE welcome the high faith OF the In
ternational Peace Congress upon the very
day OF the declaration Of war. We testi-
fy to the presence and power of Christ
in gospel and word in our church by
which alone life in all its experiences
has borne go much OF the fragrance OF
the rose OF Sharon and the eternal sweet
ness OF the y-of-the-vaIley."

son. Just Back from Europe.
DECLARES FOOD PRICES EASY

Representative Halvor steenerson. OF
Minnesota, one OF the American dele
gates TO the International Peace Confer
ence in Europe. has returned to WASH
inEton after an absence OF about two
months. Mr.. Steenerson sailed in July,
intending to participate In the peace con-
vention at Stockholm, but was prevented
by the war which interviewed.
MY Joy at reaching home Is divided
with sorrow for the horrors that the
European struggle has entailed," said
Mr.. Steenerson. 81 am convinced that
the common conscience and judgment Of
the civilized world will, in the near fu-
ture, compel an abandonment OF the
militarism that now burdens the Old
World and is the cause OF the present
awful struggle"
Mr.. Steenerson said he saw practically
nothing in English papers regarding the
efforts Of the administration to build up
the American merchant marine. Those
who discussed 1t seemed to think the
movement would fail. because England
could conduct her ocean commerce so
much more economically In every way.
While waiting for a return passage I
Travelled through Ireland and Scotland
and saw many sad scenes OF parting
as the soldiers we're leaving for the
front" said Mr.. Steenerson. In Ire
land the Ulster troubles were forgotten
and the country united to make COM
mon cause against the enemies of Eng
land. But though the people were loyal
there was little outward demonstration.
They seemed to regard II as a duty OF
stern and sOrrOwful necessity. But the
response to the call for volunteers was
apparently universal, and the full quota
OF soldiers asked for always ready"
Mr.. Steenerson said that although
when war was first declared rumors of
scarcity of food put prices up. this was
only temporary and that conditions rapid
ly returned to nearly normal.
They seem confident that the COM
mercial ocean feet will be able to bring
in food for an indefinite time" said Mr.
Steenerson. The temper OF the people
as I saw II is that this is a fight to
the finish, and just now they do not
want to stop. Over and over again
heard it intimated that all Of Englands s
resources in Australia. India. and the
world over would be hazarded to crush
their foe"
