WISE TO SAY NOTHING"
New York Presbytery Not to Make
Formal Reply to Charges.

NEW YORK, May e.-Leaders of the
New York Presbytery have decided not

TO prepare a formal answer to the
charges made against it by the Cincin-
natl and other presbyteries, which de-
naHd that the New York organiza ton
be excluded from participation in the
general assembly. After a conference
it was decided that it would be wise TO
say nothing at this time.
Six presbyteries have Joined with Gin
cinnati in overtures in favor of exclud-
ing the New York Presbytery because
graduates Of the Union Theological
Seminary were admitted 10 the minis
try. Members of the New York organi-
zation expect that a committee will be
named by the general assembly to
make an investigation. and they say
that II will be welcomed.

such measures would be dealt with ex-
clusively by Pope Benedict and Car
dinal Gasparri. the papal secretary OF
state. who keep their own counsels.
They added that any reported action by
the pontiff which did not receive of1-
cial confirmation should be treated with
caution.
It is regarded as certain here. how
ever. that Pope Benedict would not
leave anything undone to facilitate the
ending of the war. and, therefore, the
belief prevails that if such result was
possible through the efforts of the
United States 1t would be most natural
for the pontiff to do his best to aid the
effort.
The Tribuna. commenting on the Ger

SEES AN END OF WARFARE
WITH EUROPE'S CONFLICT
Declares Combination of Nations
Sufficiently Prepared Will Be
Able to Enforce Amity.

President Wilson, in his most recent
utterances on the subject of prepared
ness, plainly intimates that the United
States may take part, and prominent
part. too. in the bringing about of a
lasting peace in Europe; that the world
will by that time be tired of the pros
poets of another war and that il will
join together in great force to re-
strain and prohibit other nations in
cHned to bloodshed and military dis
play.
President wilson's remarks were to a
committee from the American Union
Against Militarism. and his remarks
were in reply to many questions about
this country's preparedness and the
prospects of peace in Europe.
The remarks of the President on
European peace were plainly regarded
as intlmations that he believed that
when peace is finally concluded its main
object will be the prevention of further
wars, and that will be brought about
by a combination of the great nations
sufficiently prepared in a military way
to impose their wishes upon nations
belligerently inclined - apparently 4

national court and an international

country have not been those Of mill

"It is not Inconsistent with Amerl-

Presidents Remarks in Part.

Part of the Presidents remarks on
possible peace were as follows:
This Is a year of madness. 1t is
a year of excitement more profound
than the world has ever known before.
All the world is seeing red. No stand
ard we have ever had obtains any
longer. In the circumstances it is
Americas duty to keep her head, and
yet have a very hard head; to know
the facts of the world and to act on
those facts with restraint, with rea-
sonablenesS, without any kind Of mis-
leading excitement. and yet with en-
ergy, and all that | am maintaining is
this, that we must take .such steps as
are necessary for our own rafety as
against the imposition of the stand
ards of the rest Of the world upon
ourselves.
We have undertaken very much
more than the safety of the United
States; we have undertaken to Keep
what we regard demoralizing and
hurtful European Influences out of
this hemisphere, and that means that
if the world undertakes, We all hope
il will undertake. a joint effort to
keep the peace, it will expect us TO

Cannot Limit Preparedness.

When you come to ask how much
preparation you can make, that surely
is a matter of judgment and I do not
see how you can find any absolute
standard upon which TO determine that
question. There are not men enough
In the existing American army to patrol
that border. That is the mere physical
fact. When things are at skies and
sevens in a neighboring country. as in
Mexico. and everybody apparently a
law unto himself. there are not men
enough TO safeguard that border. And
yet II is obviously the right thing to
do to keep the disorders of one coun-
trv from flowing over TO disturb the
peace of another country. That is not

Opposition to the measure had come

Comments in Washington.
Washington, Aug. 9.-(Special Tele-

was largely commented upon today
by those who knew him and served
with him in congress. Senator Gal
linger said:
Il looked upon Senator Thurston
as one OF the ablest men of his day.
He was a very good senator. He
was warn-hearted and loyal. What
more could be desired?"
Senator Hitchcock, when informed
by The Bee correspondent of the
death of Senator Thurston, said:
Il am very sorry. John Thurston
played his part in his day. He was
a big, strong man, great lawyer, and
a thorough representative of the west
we live in and love. Thurston had
a strong hold on Nebraska, and was
one OF its commanding figures"
Made Deep Impression.
Il heard ]. NJ Thurston soon after
going to Nebraska in 1884," said Con-
gresham Sloan. His style of ora
tory, his splendid voice and that
way OF stating a proposition
won place iii my estimation as the
leading orator Of the west. | after
wards had the pleasure of voting for
him for United States senator, a po-
sition for which ability seemed espe-
cially fitted. While his career in
covered but one term, he
made such an impression that his
recent illness caused many inquiries
from senators and representatives
who had known him and appreciated
his talents
Judge Kinkaid said of Mr.. Thur
ston: He was a very strong law
yer and an exceptional orator.
Thurston early attained distinction
politically, and when he came to the
senate he was one of the distinguished |
men of that great body, looked up to,
and his judgment followed. Nebraska
has lost strong champion i'll the
death of John Bellen Thurston."
