Germany's Place in the Sun.

The basis Of the German protest
against things as they are has lain in
the fact that alone of the great Euro
pean powers Germany has had no real
share in the division of the worlds
surface outside of Europe. Achieving
her own unity late, arriving in time
only to obtain q few minor possessions,
the left overs of the great colonial
scramble Of the last quarter of the
nineteenth century, Germany has been
compelled 10 face the growing disad-
vantage Of hostile tariffs and to see
nations inferior in population, like
Great Britain, lacking all surplus popu-
! iatIon TO furnish emiGrants, like France,
IN possession of the richest portions of
Africa and Of Asia.
For herself Germany has claimed and
claims the right to a colonial empire
commensurate with her own population
wealth and commercial resources Since
she achieved her unity France has ac-
rulred runs, Madagascar, Morocco. ex-
panded neager West African holdings
INTO an empire, and Indo-chinese posts
INTO a colony larger than the father
land. In the same time Great Britain
mas acquired Egypt. the South African
repubiics, the Sudan, while Russia has
completed the organization of her
enormous Asiatic territories that will
one day make her the most powerful
of civilized nations.
AT the bottom German resentment
over All this goes far to explain the
causes OF the present conflict. Having
fought now to the conclusion three
great campaigns in which she has won
considerable successes without achiev-
ing the complete elimination of either
| France or Russia having yet to face
the fult power of Great Britain, still
practically without scratch. Germany
may well seek to make peace. provid
ed she can obtain for her tremendous
sacrihces in life and treasure some
commensurate profit. The profit is not
within her grasp in western Europe;
IT is hardly within her grasp in Eu
rope at all, as yet
The German argument will doubtless
be that unless she obtains her "place

It is a natural consequence of the dra-
matte character OF the campaign that
ever since the Anglo-French fleet began

revelation of German designs upon d place

should serve at once as a present pasis

a future base for a renewal OF her attack
upon the British empire. For months

HONESTY THE BEST POLITICS,

The Savannah Morning News has
the following to say about Cobb
County man who set type on the
Marietta Journal in his youth:
The reason Mayor Woodward is so
strongly entrenched politically in At
lanta is not hard to find. When he
took office two years ago as mayor
the city was 100000 in debt He
metaphorically took Atlanta by the
scruff of the neck and lifted her bodt-
ly out of the financial hole into
which she had fallen, until now she
hasn't a single bill outstanding and
has $4,000 inthe bank to back up
securities held against her and 10
protect persons with whom she has
uneXcuted contracts
The people of a city can forgive
personal idiosynCrasies in a mayor
who is a good business man, who
wipes out a big debt by economical
handling of its finances and who
looks upon a public treasury as too
sacred to be dipped into by anybody
and everybody who is likely to he
Of political service to the "ins"
The reason there is 50 much dis
cussion in many cities of the advan-
tages to be gained by employing city
managers is that in money instances
mayors are politicians first and hon
est business men incidentally.
The best record any mayor can
leave when he steps out of office is
one of economical use of the city's
money. Economy does not mean lack
OF progress. Sometimes progress is
not possible without economy. TIE
people in cities are more and more
learning to appreciate and vote for
men who are honest enough to pro-
tect the city treasury. 1t is getting
to be good politics to be honest and
economical in offices where the pub
lie money is handled

FINE SHOWING OF ATLANTA
POSTOFFICE FOR PAST YEAR

Receipts at the Atlanta postoffice
for the calendar year last past show
a gain of $57,022 For the last four
teen years this office has not failed
to gain steadily over the preceding
year. In 1902 the receipts were
$359,246, and for the years follow
ing through 1918, they were $415,-

Postmaster Jones attributes this
alike to the increase of Atlanta 5
population and the increase in the
efficiency of the office.
The Atlanta office is one of the
few profitable institutions of the
government, turning into the treas.

NEW YEAR UNION SERVICE

All the congregations of the City
gathered at the Baptist Church on
the first Lords Day in the New
Year for common worship and praise
and prayer to the one God and father
Of us all At seven in the evening,
the hour for worship, the building
was packed, and many chairs
brought in It was an inspiring
sight joyful emotion filled ones
heart at the vision. There came
crowding such thoughts as these:
These people love each other; they
have one common aim and purpose;
in the bottom of sincere hearts, in
the innermOst recesses of the reyer-
Ont soul, they are one; and they are
one with St. Paul in holding that
there is but one faith, one hope, one
baptism, one Father of all. This
gathering is indeed the outward and
visible sign of an inner, spiritual
and invisible union of hearts; and it
is the shadow of sacrament"
Mr. Tumlin, the Baptist minister,
officiated. Mr.. Claiborne led in the
Lords Prayer and in a prayer for
the cleansing Spirit, the power Of
Grace, for vision of duty and power
to perform, for a eart-grafting of
tna truth to no bnord for Io,o 49,,
ion and daily guidance. Mr.. Smith
asked for Gods blessing on people
and service, and then delivered the
address. 1t was a strong presenta-
ton of the need for religious educa-
ton, of the obligation of the church
to educate, and of the gre I
blessing that has resulted from this
endeavOr. He made a striking plea.
which was certainly endorsed hearth
~ by the ministers present, that the
laymen should be awakened to take
hold of the problem as a privilege,
as we'll as an obligation. He made
allusiOn to the revival that resulted
in the old world when the lavmcn
demanded to share in the responsible
lity that had been shouldered by the
clergy alone.
Or. Patton read the lesson from
scripture, and at the close he offered
prayer, presenting to our Father
weary hearts and sinsick sous, ask
ing forgiveness and His blessing. DR..
Patton pronounced the benediction,
The music was especially fine with
Miss Foster at the organ. In addi-
ton to the usual hymns there was

ST. JAMES PARISH NEWS.

On the first day of the New Year
which is the feast of the Circumci-
sion, there was morning service and
a celebration of Holy Communion.
The service in the afternoon was
held at o'clock
One suggestion was made by the
minister for the new year endeavor.
This: That during the ensuing year
instead of saying, Il cannot attend
worship, because | must sleep late,
| cannot, because | must prepare
dinner or Unjust attend the farm,
or the business, or joy-ride," rather
say, our love for God, and a sense OF
duty to His work, Il cannot sleep,
because | must worship, dinner must
be light, or late. for | must honor
God and worship with my fellow
men; | shall not go to the farm, or
office, or joy-ride, for God asks me
to reverence and worship Him, and
this is His day and He is my father"
The minister remembered that some
OF Gods children had not knelt be-
fore his altar for three months, some
for six and some for twelve months.
On the first Lords day in the New
Year there was a record congrega-
ton, and attendance at the Lords
Supper. The music was joyful and
uplifting. The thought for the day
was Review or inspection of the
last year of life, with the help Of
the great Inspector and Inspirer:
An emphasis on the command to
Let your light or rather to Let
the light which is your life, shine
| before men that they may see a pro-
! lection of the self forward to the
next New Year, and in imagination
review the volume which we will
have written into the life of the
world.
Wednesday. January 9Th, is the
Feast of the Epiphany, or the Mani

The Womans Auxiliary had a
a splendid meeting at the Rectory
on Monday afternoon. About thir-

program was The Conquest of the
Continent This subject is dealt
with in book that tells in a most
interesting way how the church
gradually pressed westward to the
Pacific ocean, overcoming difficult
ties thro the efforts of heroic mis-
sionaries. Bishop Jackson Kemp9r
was sent as first Missionary Bishop,
and his Diocese was all the country

miles. He found two clergymen to
work with him. At the end of TWEEN
ty-four years, there were six dioceses
and one hundred and seventy-tWo
clergymen. He was a bishop sixty
years When he died it was written
