From Another
Point of VieU

Somehow we feel that the libel suit has
moved along entirely satisfactorily to the
Progressives and Democrats on the jury.
We know now what makes our clock
gain. II is probably in sympathy with
standard time.
Germany continues to export coal
This may be concession on the part OF
the Germans that the Allies are making
it hot enough for them.
We have just read that "Chicagoans
use 800 gallons Of water daily, per cap
ita." This suggests that Chicagoans pos
sibly consume considerable salt mackerel,
per capita.
The name of the richest Indian in
Oklahoma is pronounced Barney Thlocco
You use the tongue-tied accent.
In Washington. N. j., Mrs. +. j. Har-
ris occupies her husbands pulpit when
he is absent for any reason. At other
times, we presume, she occupies it only
by proxy.
Now and then we see a self defense
plea that strikes us as having been put
in mostly on the ground of self-defense.
Out in Washington a. man fell 100 feet
into a well, escaping unhurt. There will
please step forward now the man who
wants TO observe that maybe instead Of
a well IL was a cistern and soft water.

GARIBALDPS FATHER,

General Garibaldi's visit to Lon
don recalls the tremendous welcome
which the metropolis gave his father
half century ago, says the London
Pail Mall Gazette. The duke of
Sutherland's four-horse carriage,
which conveyed the popular hero
from Waterloo to Stafford house,
took six hours to force its way
through the crowds of cheering
people who thronged the route, and
afterwards literally fell in pieces in
the stable, having been strained to
the breaking point by the weight of
the thousands of strong arms which
mad chung to its sides as it passed
through "a London gone mad with

EITHER ALLIES OR ENEMIES
6eIIigerent Nations OF Europe Former.
Iy Absolutely Refused TO Recog-
nize Neutrals.

In ancient times nations at war
classed their neighbors as either
allies or enemies, writes Herbert W.
Bowen. Neutrality as an internq.
tional relation was not recognized.
There were no neutral rights and no
neutral duties. International law
itself existed only in very rudimen-
tary form.
1t was not until after the fall of
Rome and until the nations Of Eu-
rope had become numerous and we're
asserting and exercising compare
lively equal privileges and power
that their interests became so con-
Aicting that they perceived the nee
essity Of establishing and supporting
a system Of law that must be appli-
cable to them in their relations one
with another. Grotius (1583-1645),
the so-called father of international
law, published in 1925 his famous
book, ''De Jure Belli ct Pacis,"
which described the laws of war and
peace. Of neutrals, whom he called
middlemen in war, he had but little
to say.
Bynkerschock, who was born %
years after the peace of Westphalia
was signed, and who was one of the
most distinguished successors of Gro
titus, was, if not the first, at least

Two liars of national notorlety
announced during the past year
that the Presbyterian church
was dying out. 1t seems provi-
dental that by the Year Book of
our denomination recently is-
sued 10000 members were. adj
ded during that year by confess
ing Christ in addition to those
received by letter, making the
largest number received during
any year of our history. The
Presbyterian church has now
over one million five hundred
Thousand members in the north
ern States and the Presbyterian
church (South) also reports the
greatest religious awakening it
has known. This correction
would be unnecessary in popu-
lous centers but may be needed
where our church organizations
are fewer and the facts less gen.
orally known.
On next Sunday which is the
first Sunday in October, all eve-
ming meetings commence half
hour earlier. The Christian En-
deavor Society will meet at GAS
and preaching at 7;30 p. m.
