TRYING TO SHIFT THE
BLAME.

Believers in peace and the
Prince of Peace have been horrl-
fed by the persistent efforts to
implicate the Deity in the present
fiendish war. \ prominent New
York clergyman said recently IN a
Sunday mroning sermon: The
world is losing its soul. We need
cross, and God has laid his cross
upon the world. - He declared
that "this war is the greatest
blessing that has fallen upon
mankind since the German re-
formation. y
Such expressions are extreme
ly regrettable. Not God but
man is drowning Europe i'll blood.
The war is not Gods gift or
Gods punishment or God 5 will
God hates war, and Christ has
told the world so. There is no
need for tangling up the unansw-
cradle problem Of pain with the
perfectly answerable problem OF
war.
War takes place because men
hate one another. Not even for
the sake of furnishing sin will
God lead men to hate, or sane
ton that hatred and its fruitage.
Men began the war. Men are
prolonging it. Men are prevent
ing the dawn of peace. The war
would cease at once if men
should lift up their minds to God
and remember that he is the King
of Love.-Christian Herald.

WHY YOU ARE NERVOUS

The nervous system is the alarm system
OF the human body.
In perfect health we hardly realize that
we have a network of nerves, but when
health is ebbing, when strength is declin-
ing, the same nervous system gives the
alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamfu1
sleep, irritability and unless corrected,
leads straight to breakdown.
To correct nervousness, SCOTS Emul-
sion is exactly what you should take; its
rich nutriment gets into the blood and
rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cells while
the whole system responds to its refresh
ing tonic force. 1t is free from alcohol.

TELLS PRESIDENT PARKER
CANT WIN.

Paul Wooten, staff cOrrespOn-
dent at Washington, sends the
following dispatch to the Times
Picayune:
eva hington, Nov. 16.-After
consulting with the President and
other Democratic leaders here to-
day, Col. Robert Ewing, Dem
ocratic National Committeeman
for Louisiana, said the welfare OF
the American sugar producing IN
dustry has been menaced serious
ly by the action of some Demo
Gratis in Louisiana who have boil
ted the party. He did not say
that the President made any com
ment one way or the other on the
Louisiana political situation, but
it is evident that what he heard
from others had alarmed him.
"Col. Ewing said it was evident
that many Democrats have
formed an erroneous idea Of the
importance Of the secession IN
Louisiana. Since some OF the
prominent sugar planters left the
party, Col. Ewing pointed out,
there has been much trumpet
blaring going on. The import
ance of the movement is being
judged in Washington, he be-
lieves. by the amount of noise.
Steps will be taken he said, to
show Democrats from other
States that the Progressive move
ment is insignificant.
cit has been no secret that
many Democratic Senators and
Congressman are against lepeal-
ing the free sugar clause Of the
Underwood act not because they
oppose the use of sugar as rev.
enue collecting medium but be-
cause of the action of the sugar
interests in Louisiana in leaving
the party. The feeling is that the
repeal of free sugar would be
playing into the hands of the
boilers.
"Col. Ewing did his best to-
day to dispel this idea. He told
party leaders that any failue to
keep the present duty on sugar
would hurt many more Demo-
! Gratis than Progressives. In try
ing to punish few boilers, many
more loyal workers in the party
would suffer. TOO. he said, there
is more than Louisiana to con-
slider. The beet sugar industry
in the United States ought to be
absorbing the hundreds of mil
lions of dollars that are going
abroad for sugar purchases, ac-
cording to Col. Ewing's view.
''In his various conversations
today Col. Ewing went over the
entire sugar question. He told
how the business of growing SUI
gar cane on Louisiana plantations
had passed from father to son for
125 years: how it would take
time to change so radically the
whole agricultural custom of a
large area whica would be nee
essarv with free sugar. and how
the refiners We're certain to alb
sorh the dirty now paid leaving
prices to the consumer of sugar
unchanged.

There is no truth in the statement
that Turkey considers the present con

such interference with neutral trade
will be disastrous to legitimate com

The questions at issue differed little
from those Of the present. Russia was
in the act Of declaring that foodstufs
OF beligerent destination were llaole

Tho following extract from the letter
Of Marquis Lansdowne expressed the
view that Great Britain was most anx-
ious she should meet with the serious
attention of the Russian government;

ment that no pains should be spared

along modern lines between two mod
ern world powers Russia and Japan,
her present allies in the war against
the Teuton.
These precedents are found in the
correspondence between the Marquis Of
Lansdowne. Secretary of State for For
eign Affairs in the government of Ar
thur James Balfour and Sir {. Har-
dinge, Ambassador to Russia during
the Russo-Japanese War Of l904-'O5.
Russian interferences with the over
seas trade of Great Britain had be-
come the cause of sharp protest by the
British Relations were in a measure
strained between the two nations, be-
cause of the world wide belief that
there was compact between England
and Japan which amounted virtually TO
an alliance, and which later was made
Of a more definite character. In the
correspondence Of the Marquis Of
Lansdowne there appears the sugges-
tion Of a willingness to come to grips
with the Car. even TO the point of an
open breach of peaceful relations.
Great Britain's Protest.
In a communication addressed TO Sir
c. Hardnge on August 10, 1904, ap-
pears the following as an opening
statement of Great Britain's uosition:
at is evident that unless some steps
are taken by the Russian government
TO restrc a their naval authorities from
the IL discriminate molestatIOn of neu-
trail trades, the amount of compensation
for which the Russian government Will
find itself liable may assume enormous
dimensions .
You should call the attention Of the
Russian government to this aspect Of
the question. 1t is necessary that they
should realize that it is rapidly as
suming a shape in which it will be i'm
possible for the government of this
country to rest content with the pros
pect Of obtaining pecuuiary conpen-
sation for the sufferers. The situation
which has arisen is indeed becoming
one of the utmost gravity"
The basic objection of Great Britain
was to the extension by Russia Of a
policy OF ocean patrol, search and seiz-
ure in the waters of the Pacific and
the narrower Oriental seas contiguous
to Japan and Corea. The objection was
expressed in terms pregnant with hos
tility and Of frmness rarely dis
closed in the nicer expressions Of
diplomatic parlance. II was evident
that Great Britain "meant business"
Interference with Trade.
Further along in the Foreign Office
communication is found the following
definition of her position:
"For the present it is only necessary
10 call attention 10 the fact that this
unprecedented extension OF the doc
trine of contraband Of war exposes to
the penalties to which all persons car
rying such contraband are liable the

1t was the opinion of Mr. Morgenthau
that the Moslems Of Egypt, Arabia and
India were entirely faithful to the Eng
lish government and considered them
selves as much part of the British
army as the "Tommies" of England.
They are brave lot and fight well"
he said.
Mr.. Morgenthau related some anec-
dotes of Enver Pacha.

thirties, yet he has remarkable ablli-

the agent of some divine being that is

ure on his left The report was true,

himself exactly in the centre between
the two pictures"
Mr.. Morgenthau crossed Europe by
way of Sofia and Berlin and took
steamer across the Channel from Flush
ing. He said that his trip across the
Continent was accomplished with no
difficulty, and that the trains, excepting
in the Balkan countries, were always
regular and on time.

When asked to relate few anecdotes
about his trip across the Atlantic Mr'

The Turkish government did com
