Washington. d. c.. Special: In a

ference of the Methodist Protestant
church in session here. President Will

was wise enough to pronounce ouas-
ment on the European war at TINS
time.
But" he added. I'VE can all hold our
spirits in readiness to accept the trutil
when it IS revealed to us in the outcome
of this titanic struggle"
The president reminded the delegaIes
that in transacting the business OF lhe

principles which you are trying to ex-

Righteousness which. in my convection
at any rate we do not derive from our
selves, but from the same source from

signed to save brick and labor for poor

wayeline curve is % feet; its width 40

Is pleasing.
Charlottesville has 1000 inhabitants and
more good domestic architecture than
many a big American town. As in Prince
town, Cambridge and New Haven, college
culture improves town taste. Still. there
are some expensive freaks and bungling
bungalows. In the dark days of 1876 the
university itself raised one ugly building.
Jefferson was a better architect than
Washington, and perhaps his equal in
landscape gardening and estate planning.
The university Is 80 years old. On JEFF
rerson's gravestone at Monticello no men
ton of the presidency is made; but his
authorship of the declaration and the Vir-
ginia statute of religious liberty IL cited

Edwin Davies Schoonmaker, In the Gel
t,1ry MapaZne

Edwin Davies Schoonmaker, in the Cen.
fury Magazine.
To what flaw In mans character or to
what bunting of the finer faculties of the
mind are we to ascribe the astounding
fact that the machinery OF death has been
socialzed while the machinery of life has
been left competitive: that when q nation
goes forth to destroy there flashes through
the millions OF that nation a marvellous
comradeshIp. and the moment the purpose
of the war has been accomplished and the
armies are disbanded to return to the ma
chinery of peaceful industry, these com
rades are obliged to unlearn all those fine
good and begin again that competitive
struggle with one another which In many
ways is more cruel and destructive both
to the Individual and to society than the
armed conflict that Is going on today?
If we could withdraw ourselves from the
social organism into which we are born
and which we accept as the natural order
of things and view for the first time the
activities of men. We should be much less
surprised that men should go to war from
the fierce struggle of competitive sys-
tenn than that they should return to a
competitive system from that hand-in-
hand adventure In cooperation and broth
erhood in which. In these epic movements,
| from the first to the last drum beat they
are absorbed.
| Only when nation is attacking nation.
! 1t seems. are peoples capable OF swarm
\ ing forth in that unity of spirit to estab-
| lsh which as a permanent relation among
men has been the supreme aim of idealists
| since society began.

You take the best lot of young men,
all church members. If you please. and
put them into an army, and let them In
wade the enemy's country and live upon 1t
Tor any length OF time and they will grad
ually lose all principle and self-restraint
TO degree beyond the control of disci-
pine. 1t always has been and always will
be so. When fair-minded man who
knows something about war examines the

PEOPLE DYING OF FAMINE

Waterloo. Ia. April 21.-The censor
ship of news is drastic even in India
and Syria. This fact was disclosed
here yesterday when letters were re-
ceived by Mrs. II. S. Petit from Mrs.
Ella Humble Wilson of Lahore and by
her sister, Miss Beth Buchanan, from
a teacher in the American college at
Beirut.
The teacher wrote that he would give
the letter to member of the crew of
the United States battleship then in
the harbor of Beirut for mailing. In 1t
he stated that people were dying from
famine and that it was impossible to
get news about the war. He advised
the recipient to place an opposite mean
ing on all the letters which he mails
through the regular channels. The let
ter bore the post mark of the battle
ship and was brought from Beirut to
Waterloo by 2-cent United States
postage stamp.

went with her husband to the field at
