StaccCk Of Scotland Yard"
The reporter was led into room
Where suspects We're searched, a
soiemn-loohing place with two COM
partmenis. one marked Men" and
the other Women
Inspector Seacock, whose name re-
called the Crippcn trial, gave the
American searching glance. DO
you know what all these ships are?"
was his first question.
Nj Hoover says. if you will no.
tice, that they are the ships which are
carrying the food to hungry Belgians"
was the reply.
We'll, you can't take it to Ger
many"
The reporter then wrote on the en-
Velope a suggestion that Mr.. Hoover
send it to Ambassador Gerard in the
Embassy pouch and asked the in
spector if he could get out Of the pen
to get 2 messenger. There seemed to
be nc very definite reply, but after a
few moments delay the inspector re-
turned and said: On second thought,
l think you can take it. 1t seems to
be a perfectly open matter"
Sc the message went safely to Hol-
land where the inspectors at Flushing
and at Ozendaa! never hesitated in
passing the formidable document. But
st Bentheim, on the German side of
the frontier, the letter came in for
expert eXamiration on the part of
the whole staff of the helmeted in
spectors, whose questions ranged
from inquiries as to the place of birth
Of the reporters parents to questions
as to the business and motives Of Mr..
Hoover Every passenger on the train
vas passed and many Of them were
staring in at the suspect through the
window before the staff finished with
the reading Of the letter.
Don't you know that it is forbidden
to carry such a document into Ger
many" Can you swear that these
ships really are carrying food into
Belgium" IF you are not personally
aware of the exact facts, don't you
realize that you may be committing
a serious crime to endeavor to carry
this letter to. Berlin?" And so on. The
reporter murmured something about
running the risks if it would help
hungry people. This gave him his
courage and in his best German, he
asked what they proposed to DO about
it. This was an inspiration, as no.
body had thought of it before. 1t was
decided that the reporter could go
on, that the inspectors would con-
slider the possibilities Of harm in the
letter and if it seemed wise to give
it to him, it would be sent to his Ber-
lin address.
One week later it had not been so
delivered.

THE WAR AND
JUDAISM" BY DR..
SAMUEL SCHUlMAN
Profoundest Cause of War Was
Intense Nationalism-Conhict
Preparing for Decades-Does
Not Prove Failure of Religion
Approves Wilson's War Pol
icy.
Samuel

Chicago, Jan. 1s.-Dr. Samuel
Schulman. Rabbi of the Temple
BETHEL. New York, who delivered
an address today before the Union of
American Hebrew CONGREGATIONS, on
the subject of The War and Juda-
ISM said the profoundest cause of
the war was the intense nationalism
which prevailed n all thought.
"Nationa $ m,'' he continued,
seems TO overshadow all consider3-
tons Of universal human interest, all
questions of humanity. Everythil <
seems to have been concentrated into
the self glori1ication of the nation
1t has come 10 worship itself, 20
limit the world to it's national
horizon. No nation is as yet ready to
sacrifice itself for humanity, even as
the individual is called upon to sacri-
fee himself for the state or nation
No nation has outgrown its barbara
childhood, it has not become MATURE
If it has not made it's guiding princi-
pie a consideration for the interests
of humanity, if it does not look upon
mankind as larger than itself and
ment or glorification."
DR.. Schulr1an said he believed the
idea of nation based on race was
wrong and that it was destined to
pass away. The ideal state should
be based on the fights of men, ire
spective of race or creed, he said
1T is not kings alone. as is some
,rII
man continued. that brings on war
Democracies may hurl themselves
into a war. 1t is the tremendous
selfish interests, the terrible passions,
the unreasoning hatreds of men that
break out into the fury of war. Let
US therefore not be self-righteous, let
US be fair, even as we are sympa-
thetic towards the unfortunate peo-
pie Of Europe that are engaged in
this, that greatest war Of history.
The conflict had been preparing
for decades. Every nation that is in
the war today is there because Il
wished it. If it willed to be out Of
it, it would have found another way
And this will and this wish, prepared
for decades, and the very preparation
brought on the conflict. This is the
tragic irony Of human limitation and
contradiction in life. A nation can
not, should not remain unprepared.
1t is crime for any nation to leave
itself unprotected, exposed to the
arbitrary might of any other nation
And yet, man becomes the victim OF
his own earnest preparation for de-
Tense. The heaping up of the maya
zine makes it possible that any spark
will explode it,
The war has not proven the failure
of religion, DIR. Schulman asserted.
Thousands no doubt all over the
world, have had their faith shaken.
Men and women have asked, Where
is God?
God may be at a distance. He
may seem to hide Himself. but He il
nevertheless real and active in the
worlds history. Aye, in the pro-
found and tragic sense, He is even
amidst the horrors of this war. From
time to time there come upon the
world great conflicts between people,

Ganghoefer also had an interview
with Chancellor Won Bethmann-Holl-
veg, who was at work in an impro-
vised ministry of foreign affairs sit
uated in the same little French town
where the kaiser had his headquarters
in the field. 1t was in a villa belong
ing to a French banker who had fed
at the beginning of the war. leaving
behind him all sorts of costly furni-
ture and knickknacks, among which
the business-like. desks of the German
chancellor's staff had been sandwiched
in.
The chancellor talked for some time
with Ganghofer. who sums UP the
statesman's remarks thus:
What has been done in Germany in the way
Of willing self-sacrifice is wonderful! But
the uneasiness which manifests itself back home
in number Of ways is incomprehensible to- us

The old novelist ground the nails OF his
shoes cautiously into the soil as II he
were going over smooth ice on a
channels hunt But despite his ex-
periments as a Bavarian hunter and
his reverence for the monarch lean
ing on his shoulder. he suddenly
slipped badly himself. whereupon the
kaiser hauled him to his feet again
with a strong twist of his arm, and

From headquarters Ganghofer was
taken to the real front, into the
trenches, to places where rifles and
cannon spoke necessarily. and dead
and wounded men lay about. OF his
experiences she gives many brief, clean
cut word-sketches. Everywhere he
bursts into praise of the soldiers
around him, their discipline, their I'M
complaining acceptance Of hardship,
their heroism under the knife of the
surgeon; everything is to him an as
surance of coming victory for his ma

This very night heard them, after the
drums had sounded. ordering everybody to rest.
from outside on the street. came the steeiy
sound OF squad Of soldiers marching past on
its way to relieve comrades in the trenches.
While Ganghofer was crawling
through the trenches led by a. young
officer especially detailed for this serv-
ice. the soldiers recognized the famous
novelist, and called out all sorts of
good-natured jokes to him.
"Of course. you'll make another fine
novel out of this. won't your" inquired
one grinning Bavarian. Another. eye

said politely: I'm a barber How

in the ground a soldier peered forth
