What has split up the peoples from
the beginning of history is nothing
but the many religions. You cannot
advance the interests of humanity by
injecting creed, color, politics or ma

vite hate, enmity, bitterness, class
prejudices, and this brings chaos. A
house divided against itself cannot
stand There should be no quarrels

turn our brains against the present
systems of government and not
against the individuals who own
millions of dollars in wealth of all
kinds. The only war worthy of the

against property rights and in behalf

LET'S TRY MUSIC.-Everything

terrible slaughter across the water.
Diplomats have tried, women have
tried, words of various languages
have been used, boycotts have been
used, and still they fight on. Let us
try new language we all under
stand. Let US see the lost chord of
harmony. Music is well understood
by Germans, and maybe the allies can
win the Teutons with music where
they fail with cannon and sword.
Let us form one big band, orches-
ira and chorus and express the souls
of all nations in music. Let us write
one grand international hymn for the
human race and sing it together. Let
us have bagpipes, flies, street pianos,
stringed instruments, brass-wind and
woodward instruments. Let us set
all voices in tune with the Infinite
until we are all dancing to our own
music, until love and friendship en-
braces the whole human family.

United States Might Break
Friendly Relations With
Germans, Is Pointed Warning

Washington Feb. 1.-THE United States has
warned Great Britain and Germany, respectively that
the general of the American flag by British vessels
will be viewed with grave concern here and the de-
strucon by Germany of any American vessel in newly
prescribed will lead to serious complications.
Lit became known today that the text of two notes
sent last night to Great Britain and Germany express
ed much more emphaticaly than generally known,
the dspeasure of the United States at the of
tral flags by British merchantmen, and it's socitude
the implication that neutral vessels were liable to
destruction by German submarines in the waters
around Great Britain and Ireland.
In the document which has been transmitted to
Ambassador Gerard at Berlin for presentation to the
German foreign Office, there is friendly but pointed
statement that American vessels should have free and
unstricted passage through the high seas, and un-
blocked waters and the destruction of American vessel
might lead to change in the hitherto friendly rea-
tions which existed between the United States and
Germany ile in the note to Great Britain, the re-

The texts of the two documents are expected to be
published by the state department tomorrow. Among
the diplomats here the fact that the United States has
taken such pronounced stand has created profound
impression.
1t is declared unlikely in official quarters that the
use of the American flag by the Lusitania Orduna

DISCUSS
POSSIBLE RAID

London, Feb. 11.--After two days OF
debate, during which many matters in
connection with the war were dis
cussed, the house of commons last
night passed without division the army
estimates for 100000 men, exclusive
of Indian, and also by "a token" vot ,
provided for the pay of the officers
and men. By this vote the government
will receive blank check for this
purpose.
Replying to points raised by men,
bers of the house, Harold J..
Tenant, parliamentary under Sec
retary Of war, said that in case
of raid on England, General Sir Ian
Hamilton was in command of a mo-
bile force, which was ready, to 20

There was considerable discussion
of the question of inoculation against
disease, in reply to which Mr.. Ten-
nant declared the sentiment in favor
of compulsory inoculation. was in
creasing, and that the government
was considering it's adoption Lord
Kitchener, secretary of war, felt 80
strongly about the matter, Mr.. Ten
nant said, that he was about to issue
an order suspending grants Of leave to
those persons who declined to be ino-
culated.
The under secretary added that the
suggestion that the war office snoud

Report Of Committee
That Investigated the

the following report to President
Worst today:

pointed by yourself at the request OF

change to- visit and study market con-
ditions on South st. Paul live stock
market, beg to report, in part, their
findings to date. +.
The committee arrived in st. Paul.
Feb. 8, 1915. All members were pros

days in looking over the methods and
practices as followed in receiving, un-

arrival within the limits of the

UP
!, PRESENT
ship BILL
Democrats Will Abandon
Fight and Back Gore
Substitute
PLAN FORMULATED TODAY
Senate Adjourned Last
Night Without Taking
a Vote.
PLAN FORMULATED TODAY

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE adminis-
tration forces were reformed to con-
tinue the fight over the ship bill at an
early conference today between the
president, senators Fletcher and Sim
ons and Representative Kitehin. 1t
was decided to stand behind Senator
Cores substitute for the bill, now
pending in the senate. The senate adj
journed at o'clock last night until
noon to-day, after protracted session.
Cores substitute contains provisions
safeguarding neutrality in the pur-
chase of foreign ships and other pro-
posals, which it is understood COM
mand the support of some progressive
republicans and probably some of the
democratic insurgents. Under the new
plan the present bill, which has drawn
the historic fiHbuster, will be allowed
to be buried in committee and the Gore
substitute will be forced for immediate
consideration.
AS the situation developed at the
capitol, the plan appeared to be to re-
lax the fight in the senate while the
Gore substitute is being attached as an
