In which Mrs, stuart Heidelberg. Mr..

ton sang an offertory solo and the
Easter chant, Christ Oour Passover"
by Mornington, was Of especial merit.
The evening service was given over
entirely to music. With Miss Edith
Naylor at the organ, Easter hymns and
chants were rendered. by the choir.
Miss Naylor gave two organ solos,
Raff's "Cavitina" and March," by
Lemmens, and was at her best. Her
playing was remarkable for pure beau
ty in details of tone, polish of lexecu-
ton, and we'll considered interpreta-
lions of the accomplishments of both
the choruses and the solos. Mr.. Cas-
ton was again heard, singing the Fear

BILE TO conceive the grandeur Of the
tragedy which has overwhelmed the
foreign races. The tragedy Of course
Is in the terrible waste of human life,
but the grandeur Of it is the heroism
underlying the ~battlefields of Europe.
There is but one universal feeling
about the war, no matter what country
ii is, and that feeling is one Of intense,
unselfish, life sacrificing patriotism.
They are giving their young men on
the altar Of the war god Just as
sincerely as If it were an issue OF
personal honor which they could not
escape.
Il remember a visit I o one gentle
man who was Prime Minister OF one
OF the big countries-a very big, griz-
ely. rather formidable looking man
We expected TO have a difficult time
with him. Fol a while ne sat per-
fectly still and listened. We were all
afraid OF what he was going to say.
some m Of our party volunteered
that it seemed rather a hopeless task
for women to adjust so stern and ter
rible a conflict. He brought his great
fist down on the table with a smash.
Foolish he said. Not at all. If any
one can accomplish peace negotiations
1t is the women. Certainly we men
cannot do IL, We are TOO busy killing

were not true. | should say thai the
greatest amount of sincere and inspir-
ing patriotism is expressed among
the French people. You see, II be-
comes very difficult to talk about war
wher the war is going on. 1t is like
seeking details from some grief
stricken woman, who has Just lost her
husband or her son under horrible
circumstances.
And yet in spite Of his weight of
grief which one might expect would
arouse a spirit of protest, "A monster
plea to stop the war. the women
accept the sacrifice of those they love
and are proud To have done So. From
"A standpoint of humanity the nations
NJ war IN Europe are undergoing n
superb evolution Of human emotions.
From the standpoint OF law their ODE
dience is spartan.
And yet the thinkers who are not
at the front, the Cabinet Ministers
upon whom rests the burden OF
financing II directing the affairs Of
the military, do not deny that they
are open to any feasible plans by
which peace could be honorably pro-
posed. They themselves cannot make
such proposals, nor ear they accept
them from their opponents. nor ap-
parently are they the proper mediums
TO represent a reasoning power, since
they officially represent war interests
themselves.
Between the two classes OF men
overwrought by this emotional sacri-
flee which has seized all Europe at
heart, the civil class and the military
class, there is as yet no common Lire
upon which one could bring them to-
gether. 1t is all very we'll TO say that
war is against humane principles: vet
underlying the b~arbarity of the whole
sale killing Of men is a motive that
overawes. No one seems IN know
what he is fighting for, beyond the
fact that every man owes his life to
his country. and that the way TO give
II is to be a soldier.
II don think that territorial greed
commercial advancement or any other
strictly material interests are involved
in the asst enlistment Of the various
armies in the field. Therefore, in the
face OF a situation that is almost
hysteriCal II II were not profoundly
heroic. any plans for peace must
come from a source entirely alien to
the interest of either the civil or the
military party.
The fact that peace proposals
might come from a Neutral nation
does not seem to furnish a sufficiently
sound incentive; 1t Is like taking a
lawyer n "A case where the law has

These are only three OF innumer-
able instances that symbolized the
point of view upon which neutral ma
tons base some hope, But there is
no talk of peace in Europe. There
may be some whisperings. and the So

any great weight.
"Garlanded with flowers in their

the muzzles of their guns, the great
army of young men in Germany

: her recent visit to Europe as chair

sion at The Hague. Miss Jane Adams
epstomized the war situation.

ministers on the subject Of inter-
national peace. although widows and

came to her with tales OF the cruelty
OF the enemy and although she re-
turned home with the conviction that
the waste Of life in the trenches was
utterly futile so far as ultimate vic
tory on either side was concerned
Miss Adams has evolved no definite
solution OF the war problem. She is
quite sure that she saw no one in
Europe who could solve it either.

For nearly six hundred years the

their return.
The Piazza was ~gorgeously deco

for the royal family and an amphi-
theatre for the Venetian nobility.
Nothing was wanting-except an au-
dience. Venice hated her Austrian
rulers. and showed II by non-inter-
course.
So the cannons were fired, the mu-
sic played, the bells Of the ncien
Campanile rang a double peal and at
last the horses were drawn up. But
not a cheer followed them. The am
p~hitheatre was empty: only a few
Austrian soldiers lounged about the
square. The Emperor of Austria and
his suite had the whole show to them
selves.
For a hundred years now the horses
have rested. watching the passing
generation Of tourists feeding the
obese pigeons of the Piazza. The in
terest with which all Venice heard
the news that they were to be re- :
moved from their familiar place can
only be appreciated when 1t is under
stood that the horses are not thought
