Berlin REFUSES Demand
OF U. S. IN FRYE Case

WASHINGTON, Dec. %. - A new
hitch has arisen between the united
states and Germany on submarine
warfare. The State Department mas
received by mail from Ambassador
Gerard Germany's reply to the latest
American note on the sinking OF tne
United states sailing ship William r.
Frve. and in this communication the
Foreign Office declines to guarantee
that Americans on ships carrying con-
traband shall be placed in safety be-
fore the ships are destroyed.
The United States insisted that the
moor means of safety offered by life
boats could not be accepted by this
government as respecting the well-es-
tablished principles OF international
law. While the Frye was sunk by the
commerce destroyer Prinz Eitel Freid-
rich. which took all the Frye's crew
aboard, the American protests served 10
amply the issue TO submarine warfare

With the aid of the trolleymen and
several bystanders, the stalled auto

1t is said that several machines ran

you must be conscious of a battlefield.
The battle is on and men must feel

terrible battle ever going on in plant

One plant crowds out another and one
species will crowd out another species
and thus the battle is intensified. Gar

We find the same struggle in animal

AffiIiation Of Chambers of Commerce


An important opportunity lies be-
fore the Connecticut Chamber of
Commerce in mapping out a plan
whereby many organizations not now
members of the State Chamber may
be brought into utilization and cooper
alton with it, says the Connecticut
Agricultural College Bulletin.
Scattered about the state there are
some thirty or forty organizations
that are more distinctively civic in
their character than otherwise. AS q
rule these organizations are similar to
the Village Improvement society of
Saybrook. They have, it Is true, a
more peculiarly local work and aim
than the average Business Mems as
ISOLATION, or Chamber of Commerce,
nevertheless their interests many
times extends into broader fields and
touches with that Of the State Cham
Der,
The problem that confronts the exc
cutive officers Of the Connecticut
Chamber Of Commerce and the direc-
tors is how to meet peculiar and very
necessary financial conditions and at
the same time affiliate these organiza-
lions with the State Chamber upon an
equitable and jtAst basis as relates to
the present constituent membership.

CHRISTIAN CHIvALRY IN BUSINESS
VIII Prevail Says Rev. w. Coleman to knights Templar
Attending Service Methodist Church-The Christian
Warrior Was Sermon Theme-He Needs More of the
Military Spirit

ry. How much we could do to help
the suffering of the world!
Men say that the sermon on the
mount cannot be carried out in bust
ness, because business is competition.
Rev. Mr.. Coleman said he thinks the
time is coming when knighthood and
Christian chivalry will prevail even in
business. If we are conscious that we
possess a soul, We are conscious of
the souls eternal destiny. The man
battling for life and truth is often mis-
represented, is often s1andered, even
by his own friends. There are two
forces at work outside as well as in
side our body in this struggle for life.
These are the fol- ces of right and
wrong. We must fight, we must wage
war for the forces of right and the
forces of justice. We must be on one
side or the other and we are called
upon now to make our choice. We can
not be non-combatants. We must be
OH the side of Christ or on the side of
Satan, for there is no middle course.
Many of us are weak warriors, for
we wish to fight handicapped; we do
not wish to clothe ourselves in the
spiritual armor. This battle for life
is conflict that carries us into the
regions beyond it is an eternal battle.
Every blow we strike for the right is a
blow that helps God and every time
we stand for right we stand with God.
Years ago every village and town in
the north was fired with the military
spirit and men gave up the things they
thought were essential to life Thou
sands went to the battlefield and died
there. What the Christian warriors
Of today need, said the speaker, is
something of that military spirit.
Following the benediction, the con-
gregation remained seated while the
knights Templar formed in line and
marched from the church as the or
ganist, Waldo S. Newbury, rendered
the Boston Commandery march.
