Baron Rosen reflected the viewpoint
that the war was "the revolt Of man
kind against TIE idea that might goes
before right"
"This is why the sympathy of the
world seems TO be on the side Of the
Allies" he continued. "No one dreams
of begrudging the German people the
place in the sun that is theirs by
birthright among the great nations on
a footing o. equality: but the world
will never submit 10 the hegemony OF
the mailed fist
"No one doubts the patriotism of the
Germans, or their determination 10
fight as long as their resources last.
Still, the amount of suffering which
this war entails, not only on the bellig-
erents but also on the rest OF the civ

month to month as the war continues.
Therefore, it would seem 10 be to the
interest of all concerned, and most OF
all, perhaps, of the German people
themselves, to bring the war TO con-
clusion as soon as possible.
"The surest way of reaching such
result would be to bring about gen

of the first Napoleon, still leaving

SEE In HOLY LAND
BIG WORLD RESORT
Missionaries Say Allies Plan to
Make Ii Show Place
for All.

Through missionary channels, pri-
vate though reliable, reports reach this
country from England that definite
understanding exists among the Allies
concerning Palestine and the Mosque OF
St. Sophia. at Constantinople. in case OF
the fall of the Turkish power. British
capitalists, it is reported, are looking to
the modernization OF the Holy Land
with view 10 making 1t convenient as
the show place of the world.
Some progress in transportation has
been made in Palestine under Turkish
rule. But the reported determination
of the Allies TO drive Turkey out will
lead, the missionary leaders hear, to
manent improvement.
1t is said, in this connection, that In
Smyrna, in Beirut, and other parts Of
Asia Minor. so general are Christian
interests, that it will be difficult to find
a country where the Turk will be priv
ileged TO plant and hold his capital city.
If there were any place 1t is taken up
by the new Bagdad railway route.
The missionary informants report
that British capitalists desire to net
work the Holy Land with rapid trolley
lines, develop horticulture and dot the
country with good, moderate rated ho-
tells. A seaport is also to be developed
This is done, it is held, that all the
world will journey thither.
The British promoters are said 10 be
in thorough sympathy with the Zionist
movement. Some place is needed to
which Jews of Poland may repair. The
Holy Land offers the place, since Jews
are at home in .alestine, and their
presence will add to the attractiveness
of the land as a show place, the mis-
sionaries say.
Apart from business considerations.
however, Palestine, as developed follow
ing the war and the end of Turkish
rule, is to become a centre of Christian
inspiration, worship and missionary
zeal. Business is to be second to Gospel
propaganda. Hence the interest of the
missionary leaders of the world,
Concerning st. Sophia, the same mis-
sionary channels say it is 20 become. if
Constantinople falls, a cathedral of the
Russian Church.

VETERAN AGHAST
AT WARS CARNAGE
1T Should Be Stopped Says
Man Who Fought in Indian
and Spanish Campaigns.

Major Carter Page Johnson, |. s. A,
retired. veteran of the Indian and Span
ish wars, returned here yesterday from
Germany, via Rotterdam, on the Hol-
land-America liner Nieuw Amsterdam
appalled, by the European carnage.
Although Injured 20 the business of
war as a veteran of many rough cam
paigns, he declared yesterday that the
present slaughter was blot on civill-
cation and should be stopped. More
over, he thought the United States
should step in and try to bring about
peace.
81 have been in Germany he said,
"and have seen much. The war is a
terrific slaughter and should be stopped.
This nation should take steps to end
the carnage. At one time war was a
profession for gentlemen, but now it IS
a trade for no one. 1t is a business
for professional slaughterers.
"Along the battle line in France three
million men have been facing one an
other since fall, and will possibly be
facing one another until May. These
men have mechanical devices for hurl-
ing a terrible death into the ranks Of
one another. No one can foretell the
end, but any one can fOretell the re-

WILL DANCE FOR A DIME
Miss Duncan Fixes Low Prices
for Charity Engagement.

"You see, my children are perfectly
happy, and we expect to show the peo-
pie what dancing means to their happi-
ness"
That's what Isadora Duncan told an
audience that packed the Metropolitan
Opera House on March at her an
nounced farewell TO New York. At the
same time she said she had taken ad-
vantage of an offer by Otto II. Kahn
and would begin a season at the Cen
tury Opera House on Thursday Of this

Miss Duncan's season at the Century
will last one month. She and her girls
are on record as wanting TO dance for

SAYS WORLD COURT
MAY CHECK WARS
John Hays Hammond Points Out
Where Hague Tribunal Failed
Tells of New Body.

In an address in Mount Morris Bap-
tist Church, Harlem, yesterday morn
ing John Hays Hammond said that
there is preparing a world court" to
be an international tribunal. 70 which
shall be referred all justiciable ques-
tions. lie intimated that such a court
is new and later than the Hague Trl-
bunal, and that Americans are the
leaders in II.
"This world court" said Mr.. Ham
mond, "is the first step to render pos
sible any limitation of armament. The
leaders in the creation Of this court do
not expect thereby to obyiate the pos
sibility Of future wars, any more than
medical science can avail to eradicate
disease, or that colleges can Danish ig-
norance, or religion put stop TO Wick
edness. The most that is expected is
that such court will minimize the
danger Of wars.
Because of her irreproachable neu-
trality, her conspicuous advocacy OF
peace, her commanding position IN
finance, industry and commerce, her
freedom from political alliances and,
almost more than all, her polyglot pop
ulation, America is ordained OF God
TO take the lead in this world court
proposition. II is our supreme duty,
our golden opportunity, and let II be
our cherished privilege"
The occasion yesterday was the
Mount Morris Forum. and at It Mr..
Hammond secuted the pleas Of the
armed peace people.
Mr.. Hammond argued that diplomacy
has failed, that secret treaties must
no longer be tolerated among nations,
and concluded with the statement that
right now America must lead in the
preparation Of a plan for the govern
ment of the nations now at war. When
present hostilities end will be too late:
The plan ought to be made ready and
published as soon as possible, that ma
tions may consider it and take 1t INTO
their counsels in concluding peace. lie
argued that militarism must be ended
preliminary to the new form Of world
government and the new world court.

HOFMANN PLAYS
AT METROPOLITAN
Pianist StirS Audience TO En-

dleton Sing.

The number of pianists who have
given concerts in New York within the
last five months is about half a hun
dred. They have represented all
calibres, and under some conditions
their public appearances would all have
been justified. No doubt every one of
them gave pleasure to somebody, if 1t
was only TO teacher or pupil, kinsman
or friend. But in what respect No. "a
in the list differed from No. 81, or why
No. II was justified in playing in pub
lie after No. 13 failed 10 make a tri-
umph the confused minds of the re-
corders of musical doings for the news
papers would be hard put to it to say.
The deep and enduring impressions
were made by a few, whose command
of the art was supplemented by that
individuality which makes for great
ness.
Foremost among these was Mr.. Josef
Hofmann, whose appearances have been
in inverse ratio to his extraordinary
merits. Each time he was heard by
the elite of New York's musical public.
Last night he played for many to whom
recital is as caviar to the general
public, who find their musical pleasure
in the popular Sunday night concerts at
LnG MGITODOliNdH OpNio A1ON~N'
For them he played the q major
concerto of his master, Rubinstein. He
had played it before under more favor,
able conditions. but again he put all
his supreme mastery in evidence ana
again he excited wonderment and ad-
miration. Later he played some solo
pieces b fiat minor scherzo OF
Chopin; "The Sanctuary" by Dvorsky;
Moszkowski's "Jongleuse," show
piece par crCCIiCHcc, and LISTS twelfth
Hungarian Rhapsody. Here every one
of his listeners was with him heaTt
and soul and enthusiasm was unbound
ed~after the pieces which appealed TO
the taste and understanding of the
audience. This was particularly the
case after the Moszkowsh number.
OF course there was a demand for
more, which was complied with.
