JORDAN DEPLORES LOSS
OF EUROPE'S YOUTHS.
Wars Ultimate Result Will Shock Men
to Universal Peace, He Tells Mount
Pleasant Congregation.

Nearly a thousand persons crowded
the aisles. stood up back OF the seats
and squeezed into the benches of the
Mount Pleasant Congregational
Church last night TO hear DR.. David
Starr Jordan, of Leland Stanford Uni
versity. give his address on the prob
lem. Does Human Nature Change?
The question was left to the audi
ence to decide.
DR.. Jordan dealt chiefly with the
great evils of the world and told his
hearers that each of these reaches
such a climax of wrong-doing that it's
moment of seeming victory is really
its moment of defeat. DR.. Jordan
was introduced to the congregation by
the pastor. DR.. Clarence Vincent.
Men who first protested against the
great evils of history were destroyed.
but this sacrifice only gave men a
glimpse of the hideousness OF the
wrong. he said.
Either through this present war.
or another one" said DR.. Jordan,
war will so reveal itself that men
will be shocked into a realization of
what il means. and the nations will
come to democracy and righteous
peace.
War is great machine that Is
taking the best manhood of England
and grinding it up like a machine
The finest young men in Europe are
fed into the hopper. and while they
are being destroyed. the feeble. the
sick the halt. the lame. and the
decrepit men, who are unfit for mill
tary service. are being left to be the
fathers of the future"
Following the talk of DR.. Jordan.
Arthur Ramsay. principal of Fairmont
Seminary. invited those present to
unite with the American Peace So
ciety, of which he is the president.

when ]. little more than a baby. sat In
a big chair in a hotel lobby and answer

solemnity by a great big man newspaper
reporter.
It was in a town in Connecticut. and
It was my very first interview. l have
been interviewed hundreds of times since
then. but no interview has ever had TO
me the great Importance of that. 1t
meant that l was securing recognition.
and ] was not too young TO know what
that meant, for the Importance OF Sc
curing the approval OF the press is APP
preciated by every actor. from the Oldest
veteran who has won his laurels to the
youngest recruit.
He asked me how long l had been on
the stage. And when l replied that I
had been an actress a long. long time.
since l was five, he was much impressed.

I was very dignified in my reply. My
ambition was to he Il great tragcdiennc.

myself and then die. Wouldn't It," /
asked him, "be grand TO have everybody
die, and then. having no one else to kill,
to die oneself with the plaudits OF the
audience ringing In ones ears?''
] sighed rapturously. and when, little
surprised at such grewsome ambitions.
he asked il I wouldn't rather make my

SOCIAL BREACH AVOIDED

Mrs. Norman Gait is developing the
qualities of a real social diplomat. ac-
condfng to her friends. II was learned
yesterday that shortly after the White
House engagement was announced all
the members of the diplomatic corps
the courtesy, being very careful to cali
at the homes OF all the belligerents on
the same day. Thus q breach Of social
neutrality has been avoided.
The President and Mrs. Calf did not
follow their usual custom Of attending
church together yesterday. The Presi-
dent Is working hard on his message to
Congress and remained In his study all
morning. Mrs Calf and her mother. Mrs.
Boiling. also STAYED at home and lunched

President adorned the table.

In the afternoon the President and
his fancee went for an automobile ride,
but returned to Mrs. Calls Twentieth

OF the Cabinet dropped in and were
shown a wedding present sent to Mrs.
Gait by an old colored servant form
Virginia II was a Knitted table cover.
The White House refused to add to the
statement by which II was denied that
Mrs Gait had ordered any of her trous-
seau from Paris. The statements of the
modistes who claimed to have such or
ders were characterized as cheap adver-
Using schemes.
Notwithstanding the positive assertion
that the trousseau will be entirely made
in the u S. A." Mrs. Calls friends ad-
NIT that she did order at least two gowns
at the esta hlishment of Kurzman
Kurzman in New York. from Paris
models They insist, however. that Mrs.
Gait expressly ordered that the costumes
be made in this country and that the ma
terials used be of American manufac-
ture.
It is believed not unlikely that Worth.
of Paris. has forwarded gowns to be sub
mitted for the approval OF the future
first lady of the land, but il is positively
asserted that she did not order them and
will not take them when they arrive.
Nearly every big dressmaking estab-
lishment known in the world OF fashion
has sent garments here by special repre-
sentatives. These agents only asked per-
mission to show their goods to Mrs. Gait
They hoped in this way to get her inter
ssted, but not one OF them has been

from their posts on various pretexts. His
influence over women OF the highest
aristocracy became a public scandal. Al
q result of intriguing Rasputin became
the most prominent man OF the day, and
his name was in everybody's mouth.
Owing to the resumption OF articles
about him and the recital Of new WAL

authorities have decided to suppress all
reference to Rasputin IN the public
prints. The commander of the Petrograd
district has summoned the editors of the
Petrograd daily papers and instructed
them under heavy penalties to see thai
this order is strictly adhered to.
