..UNITA.RI.A.NISM


 The first National Unitarian Com vention was opened in New York just half a centurK ago today, April 5, 1885, for the purpose of strengthen ing the churches This meeting, the first of it's kind, was very successful in healing the misunderstanding which had long existed in the ranks of the religious liberals Unitarian ism in America had it's beginning in 1783. when Rev James Freeman in duced the congregation of Kings Chapel to accept Unitarian doctrines. In 1786 a Unitarian congregation was formed in Philadelphia. For some years, however, the Unitar1ans were commonly known as liberal Con- gregationalists ,and it was not until the days of William ElIery Charming that Unitarianisln became a distinct denomination. For many years there was heated controversy between the liberal and the conservative Unitar- ians. Emerson and Theodore Park CT were the ohief defenders of the liberal school, and were practically driven into isolation and denounced as freethinkers and unbelievers. The national convention of Unitarians half a century ago gave the denom- nation greater homogeneity and re- suited in a larger to1eratfon which now permits Unitarians to entertain a wide divergence of opinion.

 Florists greatly increased their stock weather that preceded Saturday. sum- day was expected to be a record d-hreak- ing day. It was. but not in the man. ner expected.
 John Reck. & Son had a hne time, except that the concern sumered the loss of many hundreds of dollars through the weather, seven autonno- piles delivering flowers had to be lowed in. one of them injured through an accident, and one of the horses was hurt Subsequently, all the horses had to be called in.
 Instead of delivering flowers and plants under ideal Easter conditions, they had to be sent to their owners under the same conditions that prevail at Christmas. Automobiles had to be heated for their conveyance.
 Much delay was experienced in de- Iiveine the flowers owing partly to the snow and partly to the errors of those who purchased flowers and plants. One florist said today: ttIt is surprising how inaccurate are the addresses giv- en by those who buy flowers. Many flowers and plants have to be brought back to the stores owing to the fact that the drivers couldn't find the ad- dresses given Wrong numbers, in complete addresses and even wrong streets. caused tremendous delays.

Lord Leven, 29 Today, Escaped in Disguise

Among the scores of young British

 thrilling experiences than the sandy

 He is nuInh cred among the wealth jest of Scottish peers. He was in trade before the war, entering the
 office of a 6irm of merchants in Lon-
 don in order to gain experience that
 would enable him to look after his
 big financial interests. He is the principal partner in two big banking firms. and has visited America to look after his interests in the United States and Canada In the early stages of the war the Earl went to the front with his regiment the Roy al Scots Grays, in which he 4s a lieu tenant He was wounded in August and was left behind in the general retreat of the British force After lying on the field with a bullet in his thigh for many painful hours, the young Scotchman was picked up by the Germans After spending a long and weary period in a box car with other wounded men he reached a Ger man hospital where his wounds were dressed. In December last he con- trived to escape from the hospital. and, playing the role of a Belgian re- fugee, he travelled across Belgium in a northerly direction. His disguise was good enough to deceive the Ger
 mans and he passed through. their lines and crossed the Dutch frontier without 8. passport From Holland he made his way to England. where his friends had long since given him up as dead. Lord Leven and Mel vile had many friends in Germany. as his aunt, the Hon. Miss Portman. had long spent most of her time in her Berlin home, and it is quite possible 1 that some of these aided the young Scotchman to affect his escape. Lord Leven's titles date back to the sew enteenth century. the first Earl of Lseven having been a very distinguish ed soldier. serving in Holland and in the parliamentary forces in the civil war. and later working for the res tOration.

BERNHARDI .

General Count Friedrich yon Bern hardi. the author of the celebrated book. Germany and the Next War is said to have taken a prominent part in the operations in Poland and East Prussia, as adviser to Field Marshal won Hindenburg. Gen. won Bernhardi retired from active service several years ago, being then a ma jor general of cavalry, but he offered his services to the Kaiser at the out break of the present conflict. He was first heard of as the commander, of the home units of the Fifteenth army corps, and later as a member of the staff of Hindenburg. In mill itary circles he has long been known as an authority on cavalry tactics but the literary work which brought him into worldwide and general ceIe- brity was his exposition of mi1itarism issued under the title of s4Germany published in 1911 and was widely cir culated in Germany, and was trans- lated into English. It is said that more than 3, million copies of this book have been sold in Germany Great Britain and her possessions, and the United States In Fzngland Gen. Von Bernhardi is sometimes re- ferred to as %'the man who made this war;" and it has been alleged that the famous exponent of 1aiIitar@ ism, while visiting the United States two years ago. diyulged the plans for the present war at secret meetings Of German-Am Gen. von Bernhardi has lately declared that there has been a general 1nisconcep- tion of the statements made in Ger many and the Next War; and .tOur Future" and that, while he held that war between Germany and Great Bri- tain was inevitable, he did not urge war against Tngland. In a recent interview for an American paper Bernhardi declared that Germany is t'as good as powerless against Eng land. and that as long as the British navy remains intact an invasion of Great Britain is practically impossi- ble.
