The Basis of a Permanent
Peace.

"Thesduery often arises-Is this
the last great war ? There is no
reason for thinking so unless man
kind has reached that stage of de-
Velopment, of evolution If you like.
where common sense at last pre-
walls over stupid perversity. If
that wonderful day is dawning
when at last Ruler of the uni
verse is recognized as God that
Furnishes as we'll as a Father tina
loves and saves, then there is hope
OF permanent peace and not till
then.
1t may be suggested that ac-
cording to this theory America is
spotless, since she has not yet at
least been drawn into the vortex of
this whilwind of madness; and we
know that such is far from being
the truth. No, our fair land is
smirched and soiled with the same
vileness and criminal folly But
America is still young nation;
God is still patient with her; there
is ample time for her to fill to the
brim her cup of iniquity and to SO
weary the patience of the Almighty
that at last she too will feel the
lightning and the fury of His
wrath. At times WI can almost
hear the warning and can almost
see the flash of the distant storm.
Listen! Not long ago very early
one morning, before the darkness
left the sky, before the birds be-
gan to sing, [ heard rumble of
distant thunder. In the stiffness
of the night it sounded ominous,
startling, and suddenly | seemed
to see a vision of the future, the
ultimate America, caught at last in
the consequence of her sin and
groaning under the agony of pun
ishment Divine.
In the dawning of the morning
Came the thunder of the Lord,
The day of wrath was breaking
In accordance with His word.

of distress because Of famine, pes.

many, France and Russia would
hurry to the assistance of England,
seeing in her big brother in dis
tresa. One Of theaseeds of perma-
nent peace would have been sown.
There is no need to extend the ar
gument. Its appeal will meet
every reasonable mind. But will
the minds of those whose high
duty it is to arrange the terms Of
this peace, be reasonable? There
is the danger and there is the un-
certainty.
As some one has already sug-
gested there would no longer be
need of army or navy except a po-
lice force on land and sea adequate
to quelI any disturbance that
might arise because of some mem
Der of the new family Of nations
forgetting the rule under which all
we're living. This police force
could be easily sustained by tax
on all the nations, levied in propro-
ton to the wealth of each. What
trife this would be compared to
the crushing burdens under which
Europe is staggering today!
The benefits that would accrue
to all from peace settled on the
terms of brotherly love are almost
without number and volumes
might be written on the subject.
The imagination loves to dwell on
the conditions which will prevail
among men when at last the Prince
of Peace has come to dwell and to
rule IN our hearts, our homes, our
cities and the nations of the world.
Will such an ideal state always be
an ideal?> Can it never crystalize
into reality? Assuredly there is
hope. Read the signs of the time:
Russia declaring positively against
intemperance; England trying to
be as progressive as Russia; France
learning again to pray,if we may
believe reports Of the press. These

there is some radical change in our
treatment of these grave issues
that there is no escape from the
wrath of an outraged God.
Regarding the terms Of peace
for the present war. Is it passible
to discuss the terms on an entirely
new basis, in manner different
from any hitherto employed,
basis consonant with our original
proposition, love to our neigh Dor?
Let US see how such policy would
work out if applied to the nations
of Europe Let us suppose that
some years ago Great Britain
decided on a certain policy affect
ing her trade relationship with
Germany, France and Russia. The
policy became law and was advan-
tageous to Britain. Its effect on
Germany, France and Russia would
undoubtedly be in furious but that
fact would be of second ~ i'm
portance, and in truth might even
be considered an advantage as a
retaliation for some previous in
jury to England resulting from
policy adopted by either Germany,
France or Russia at some former
tune. Now what do we find? When
England adopts this policy bene-
fcial to herself alone and injurious
to her neighbors, exciting their
just resentment, right then and
there has been sown the seeds of
future war. A wiser and more
statesmanlike method of procedure
would be for England to frankly
present to Germany, France and
Russia brief of her new policy
and inquire of them if such policy
would be mutually satifactory. If
either Germany, France or Russia
should reply that such policy
would in their opinion prove inju-
rious, a council of the nations in
volved could be called and after
due deliberation policy could be
framed which would be of benefit
to all. Now what have we found?
Such action on the part of Eng
land would compel the respect of

GETS CHEAPERL0A
BY SECRET PROCESS
Head of New York Company Ad.
mits New Formula Has
Been Adopted.

NEW YORK, March 3.-Deputy Attor-
new General Alfred l.. Becker. who Is
trying to find out il the raise In bread
prices had its inception in any conspir-
acy in restraint of trade, developed AT
ycsterday's hearing several Interesting
sidelights in the baking business.
Chief of these was the discovery OF
the existence of a secret formula owned
by the Ward Baking Company by
which, according to George $. Wood,
vice nresident Of the company. a better
bon. and tissue building bread than
was formerly made is being baked at
less cost than ever before.
Asked about the Ward companys Sc
cret process, George 3. Ward said that
about three and a half years ago the
company began Investigations In the re-
search laboratory Of the University of
Pittsburgh as to better methods OF
breadmaking. The work was done by
Prof. Robert Kennedy Duncan and his
associates were DR.. Bacon. the present
director Of the research laboratory: DR..
Kohman, who perfected method OF
making salt rising bread. and Dr.
Houghton, head OF the Wards bronx
"They discovered that by the use in
minute quantities of certain salts
household salts" he said. much yeas,
could be saved in bread making. BY
its use, we believe We are able to pro-
duce bread with less acidity and short
en- up the tine of fermentation. The
process of fermentation means the de-
struction Of q certain amount of fooc
values in other ingredients. The soone
the dough is leavened the more Zoo
values remain. 1t adds to the vallS OF
bread as tissue and bone builder
We believe the discovery will accom-
plish a great deal for humanity and the
/ baking business"
| Mir. Ward said that the Governmen,
has been asked to issue patents on the
formula and the only reason that they
have not been granted before is be.
| cause the company wanted to gel
patents in all the principal countries o.
the world
| Concerning the companys decision t.
raise the wholesale price OF bread from
to 5 cents per loaf. Mr.. Ward said
