can steamer "Zealander" was fore
IDLY searched by party from a Brit.
ish cruiser last week while lying in
the port of Progreso, Mexico. The
American consul there reports tho
cruiser now is lying outside, presum.
ably waiting to seize the ship.
On the face of such a report as tho
consul sent, even though incomplete,
the official conclusion here is that the
British naval authorities not only VIC.
lated Mexican neutrality, but far ex.
ceeded their rights in forcibly search
ing an American ship in a neutral
port.
The Zealandia has figured much of
late in reports of the Investigations
OF British agents who were on the
trail Of ships supposed to be fitting
out in the United States for attack
ing oil-carrying ships from the Mex
lean fields, where the British navy
draws a great proportion Of its sup:
ply Of fuel oil.
Originally Hawaiian Ship.
The Zealandia has no change Of
registry involved, as has been the
case of many other American ships
since the beginning of the war, but
was originally a Hawaiian ship which
came under the American flag at the
time of the annexation.
On Oct. the Zealandia mysteri-
ously left Pensacola, Fla, at night,
clearing for Tampico. Mexico, carry.
ing a large stock of provisions and
manned principally by crew Of Ger
mans.
The ship moved from Tampico to
Campeche, where British agents To-
Gated her and reported she bore a
large quantity Of rosin for which
there was no ostensible use in Mex
leo, although it is used largely for
making shrapnel. They also report
ed their suspicious that she bore q
large quantity of copper.
ForcikIy Searched in Port.
Nothing further of her movements
was heard until the American consul
reported that she had been forcibly
searched in port by party from the
British cruiser which had been lying
outside.
What the searchers found, the con.
eul did not report, but inasmuch az
he reported the cruiser still lying in
wait, it was supposed here they
found something which they believed
would justify further action when
the 1ealaRdia pYte e sea:
The forclble s6Srchin9 Of an Amer.
team ship in a neutral port probably

Everybody is familiar with the
phrase personal magnetism Not
everybody, however, appreciates the
desira bility OF trying TO make ones
self as personally magnetic as pos
sible.
Indeed, there is a widespread no
tion that personal magnetism is an
occult force which is present from
birth in specially gifted people, and
Is not susceptible of cultivation.
The very use OF the word mag
uetism" is an outgrowth OF this no
tion. Just as the magnet mystic
riously draws 70 itself objects which
II approaches. so do some persons.
by seemingly as irresistible and
mysterious a power, draw other per
sons to them.
Yet actually there Is nothing oc-
cult or mysterious in personal mag
net!sm. And 10 greater or less
extent all persons, by proper self
training. can make themselves per.
sonally magnetic.

"A Plea For MOdernity }
In Church Methods

What might be called democracy OF
the church is being advocated by one of
our most progressive clergymen, Dean
Marquis, who does not believe in closing
ones eyes to conditions and lulling one
self with false hopes, but rather realizing
that the time has come for the active
participation of the church in civic and
social life, announces the fact and sets
about to fit the church to the men in the
best and highest sense.
There was time when doctrine was
everything and the broad precepts of re-
ligion were either taken for granted or
were passed over for minor questions.
This is practical age and the Ameri-
cans like to see the results of their labors
IN some material sense. They are not
as imaginative and philosophical as other
peoples and are not satisfied that the
seed sown now may bear fruit hun
dred years hence. Also the most cher
ished doctrines over which battles royal
have been fought by churchmen and
their congregations in times past, seem
to the average American man of very ht-
tie consequence. What he wants is to re-
turn to simple fundamentals, the Golden
Rule, the Brotherhood of Man, the sacri-
ace for principle and ideal which are the
embodiment of the Christian religion
There are the things which if applied
will help him to live here and now, and
his church attendance is in direct ratio
10 the comfort and assistance in his daily
living which he receives from the institu-
tion.
Dean Marquis sees all this and says
"the church must meet the changes
which are taking place in the world or
it will be cast aside by the world as
useless thing" and goes on to tell US
that the religion of the future must be
one of "public service"
This does not mean less religion, but
more. 1t means not only community
Of spirit (Which we have come rather to
accept on faith than to experience), but
community of men, who will touch
hands and be their brother keeper in
Z the highest sense of the word.
> This is the tendency in all branches of
our life. The industrial magnate is be-
coming more and more imbued with the
idea that his business cannot be separat-
/ ed from the good of his workmen. The
people of the city are beginning to real
ize that they are citizens in truth and
that the city is not thing apart.
Nationally we are trying to take the
foreigner to ourselves and educate him
for his and our good, and the church
must fall in line Six days do men labor
y and the church which has only to do with
part of the seventh is bound to fall

makes the church after all without man
