PIErY AND PROSPERITY.
One Helps Not flinders Others, says
the Rev. n. A. Hanson.

"Can Man Be successful in Busi-
ness and Be a True Christian?" was
the subject of the Rev. Henry w. A.
Hanson's sermon at St. Luke's Iutn-
eran church, Allegheny. He said a
strange misconception was prevalent
regarding the relation between plety
and prosperity. Not all was success
that seemed such, as not all was fall
ure that seemed failure. He instanced
Nebuchadnezzar at the height OF MS
power, still far from the heights TO
which he might have obtained and. on
the other hand, Moses dying in s1gnt
Of the promised land; the prophets
toiling ana pleading, only to die with
all their dreams unrealized; Christ
moving among the sons of men in all
the beauty of a sinless glory only TO
die upon the cross. The true measure
Of success depended not upon what
we had, but what we were.
To be a Christian in life meant to
bring down the noble impulses ana
principles revealed to US in the life
thought and duties. Continuing the
preacher said:
Any man who is engaged In busi'
ness directly or indirectly into which
he cannot infuse these exalted Ideals
had better leave it. If your busi-
ness unmans you, leave it-for what
doth it profit a man if he gain the
whole world and yet lose his self-res-
pect and his soul?
1t is possible to bring these ideals
into our business life and achieve
success? Even in the eyes of the
world, honesty, manliness and Chris
tian virtue are possessions recognize
ed and admired. There has never
been an age when sinverity and high
Christian honor have had grander op-
portunity awaiting them. No matter
what be your walk in life, to make
the best man that you can be to all
that God intended you should be, you
must take religion into every phase
Of your work.
II see no reason why ones piety
should be an obstacle to ones pros
perity, but l see many reasons why
true piety should bring the highest
prosperity. Piety and goodness are
not a weight, but power they
do not hamper, but they lift men high
er.

Second Chance

II was very much surprised when
met the second Mrs. Flatsqueezer,"
said Mrs. Plagtakit to her husband.
"She is so different"
"a mans second matrimonial offense
Is always different"
"But the first Mrs. F1atsqueezer was
such a charming woman. She had
such wonderful bronze-gold hair, she
was so slender and willowy, and her
hands were so cool and white and slim
her hands were poems! l think
every woman who knew her envied
her hands"
"Her husband had splendid hands

"Yes, at holding poker hands. He

member he used to say, in his mixed
quotation style: Lucky at cards, un

"Well, he was lucky in love if any
man ever was!"

that"
"Well would. 1t was her artistic
temperament which caused her to

"His first wife had such artistic

south Of Onapa, early today and es-
capped with their loot into a wild and
isolated country.
After stopping the train some of the
bandits fired volleys from rifles and pis.

The train was known as No. 9. and II
carried a big consignment of valuable
express matter. The robbers selected one
Of the loneliest places on the line, and
they had plenty OF time to escape into
the wooded hills before the authorities
could start in pursuit
The robbers took precautions to avert
a wreck. Members of the gang were
sent ahead and to the rear of the captive
train. A freight train approa ching from
behind was tagged down. Its engineer
jumped and ran back seven miles to

where he gave the first alarm.

U. S. TRADE PROTEST TO
BRITAIN ON WAY, MAYBE
American Attache Who Sailed SUNDAY
for London Believed to Have
Long-delayed Note.

While the most extraordinary secrecy
has been maintained at the State Depart.
ment with regard to the note OF protest
TO Great Britain. there, is reason to be-
lieve that II Is now on its way 70 Lon
don.
Since last Saturday. when II became
known that the President had approved
the note as prepared by the State De-
partment. the utmost secretiveness with
regard to the whereabouts OF the note
has been commanded of all officials al
the State Department. II is now be.
lieved that NJ Il. Kirk. attached to the
American Embassy in Berlin, carried the
note with him when he sailed from New
York on Sunday to return to his post
at London.
Secretary OF State Lansing has re.
fused ever since last week to answer any
inquiries with regard to the note. Here
tofore the department has not made any
attempt to hide the fact that a note
had been sent to one of the beIligerent
governments. and usually has been most
frank as to the particulars of their dis
patch. No secret was made OF the pres
ent note until it was acted upon by the
President.
1t is expected that the note will be
published simultaneously in Great Britain
and the United States as soon after its
delivery to the foreign Office as can be
arranged. The note contains a general
protest of the United States government
against the British practices of interior
ing with neutral trade in Northern Eu-
rope.

ACCUSES BRITAIN
AS TRADE CHEAT
Protest of American In
dustrial Concerns Filed at
State Department.
CHARGE DISCRIMINATION
Alleged that English Merchants Deal
with Neutrals in Articles Denied
to U. S. Commerce.
CHARGE DISCRIMINATION

That Great Britain permits her mer-
chants to deal in neutral European
ports in articles denied to the COM
merce of the United States Is the key
note OF a document filed at the State
Department yesterday.
The report was compiled by agents
OF United States industries. which have
suffered severely from the British Or
der In Council authorizing the deten-
ton Of vessels and the confiscation of
many cargoes- The information was
gathered at first hand; partly in Great
Britain and partly in seaports of non
belligerent nations.
1t is made clear In this document
that there is a free and large COM
merce in Welsh coal between English
merchants and neutral ports: that
foodstuffs are transported freely to
Holland and Scandinavia in British
hulls. and that, in general the British
policy Is flagrantly discriminative
against American interests.
Mr. Urion Interested.
1t Is understood that A. I. Urion and
other representatives of the packers
now in Washington believe the truth
OF this charge and it is believed that
the document will be made part of a
protest which the packing interests are
insisting shall be made to Great Brit
ain against the confiscation of their
products.
Mr.. Urion and other counsel for the
packers interests presented another
argument before the State Department
urging a protest on international law.
regardless of the rulings OF Great
Britain against that law on which she
depends for the Justification of deten-
tions and considerations. Mr.. Urion has
lately been in London. where he made
an investigation of the British conf
mercial matters 18th Holland and
Scandinavian ports from which the
packers products are excluded.
The packers claim there are the
strongest possible reasons for the i'm
mediate filing of a protest with Great
Britain and a demand that she take
up with the State Department seizures
and detentions as matters of diplomatic
right There was no indication last
night, however. at the State Depart
ment that such protest would be made
at any near time in the future.
