not refrain from entreating the people
OF this great Christian country. through
You, their chosen representative, to help
China in her dire hour of need-not BY
force Of arms, but by sympathy. by a
timely word. by moral support, by media
ton, and by kindly intervention.
Cannot the good services of America
be exerted Immediately for the good of
China, as it has often been exerted for
the helpless and oppressed? Will the
Christian nations allow China's independ-
ence, integrity and territorial rights to
be violated? Are not We. Christians our
brothers keeper. and shall not his blood
be required at our hands?
II nothing is done now to prevent
Japans aggression, nothing can be done

While constant reader and a sincere
admirer of your valuable PAPER in general
il seems TO me that from an ethical
standpoint the editorial referred to- writ

nouncement of another great marine dis
aster rivaling that of the Titanic" is
IN error in two particulars: first, in its
accusations against Germany, and second
in its apparent counseling of war.
Referring to the passengers and crew Of
the Inflated "Lusitania," torpedoed and
sunk on the afternoon of May :. it says:
There is no evidence to show that the
Germans gave these 1000 innocent norr-
combatants warming or the smallest
chance to save their lives
While this is true. it appears. as regards
immediate warning preceding the dis
aster. il hardly seems altogether correct
In the light of Germany's previous warn
ngs respecting travel and traffic within
the declared war zone surrounding Great
Britain reaching back before the sailing
of the Lusitania one week ago
Germany's act in this is characterized
as "A murderous attack on hundreds of
Americans aboa rd," and as "a calculated
effort to kill every one" of the passenger.
and crew. Is this likewise an altogether
correct representation in view of the
warnings given Americans and all others
against travelling on that boat? If Ger

noncombatants. why would she warn
them specifically before hand Of

Again. as to the other side to the ques-
ton and what the new temperance teach

many 'self-advertised experts. but It
should be borne in mind that the W. c.
T. L. is no novice on the subject of
temperance science. The controversy
over a textbook referred to in the edi-
torial is almost ancient history and need
not be considered at present further than
to suggest that all sciences have been
revised from time TO time, and that Of
alcohol is included. Teachers specially
trained for scientific temperance in

OF the subject, as authorized by the high

and abroad but they have intensely in

We are not trying to stop the teaching

We all know how the regular teacher

but if We have a special or specific

Mrs. Blair's Departure.

Editor of the Washington Herald:
1t is rumored in musical circles that
Mrs. A. NJ. Blair" il severing her
connection with the musical life OF
Washington. Her return to England
in May Is positive and her return
problematical. No one can deny the
supreme influence Mrs. Blair has been
for the past six years in the city in
all things musical Her time, her
money and her talent, minus any re-
ward. She has given to rich and
poor alike, and no one can fill
her place. Sacrifice and faithfuiness
have been her watchword, and she has
never failed her clubs or her audi
ence. 1t is said that Mrs. Blair
is the most loved woman in Washing
ton, and she should be. for all she
has done. She has performed noble
mission and her many friends will
give her love and loyalty during her
absence and long for her return to
her legion of friends. l am honored
in being one o. them.
