Church Peace Union Makes
Progress with New Movement

tCorrespondence OF The Associated Press)
London, Aug. ls.-The alliance for
promoting international friendships
through the churches. which had its
conception in the minds OF some OF
tho members OF the Church Peace
union, is making slow but steady pro-
gress in the work OF setting up its
machinery The countries thus far
included in its membership now num-
Der nine; viz. Great Britain, Italy,
France. Switzerland, Holland, Nor
way, Sweden, Denmark and the
United States.
Owing to the extremely delicate ma
tire OF the work OF organization
amid the jealousies and hatreds en-
gendered between some OF the Con-
tincntal nations by the war, none Of
the officials in the work can be quoted
for fear Of diseounting his effective
ness in passing from one belligerent
country TO another. II may be stated
authoritatiyely, however, that the pro
gram Of the alliance as indicated in
the resolutions carried unanimously
! BY the delegates at Constance, Gers
many, meeting August and 2. 1914,
On the eve OF the war, is being closely
adhered to. despite the many obsta-
cles encountered.
These resolutions affirmed that "in-
asmuch as the work OF Cancellation
and promotion Of amity is essentially
d Christian task, it is cxpedicnt that
the churches in all lands should use
their influence with the peoples, par
liaments and governments OF the
world TO bring about good and friend
~ relations between the nations, so
that, along the path of peaceful civil
ization, they may reach that goodwill
which Christianity has taught man

A Question.
By Margaret Crosby, Aged IA Years,
Sutherland, Neh. Blue Side

by MdISaIet CfOSDy, aged Ia Years,
Sutherland, Neb. Blue Side.
We were spending the day with
grandmother on the Glenburine fruit
farm. The house is surrounded BY
great, high trees, which makes It
shady to play outside.
Little sister and / were playing be-
hing the bunk house and were greatly
surprised to see white hen with nine
little chickens and wondered where
she could have found them, as grand
mother had not set any hens since
spring.
We looked about us and finally
heard little weak voice yeaping un-
der the bunk house. We looked and
saw six white eggs that had not
Matched, and among them was a
chick crying for all he was worth.
The little soul, he was so cold and
lonesome, and was trying to get
warm among his brother eggs.
! took stick and gently rolled him
towards me until he was in reach OF
my hand, He was so glad to find
one that took pity on him, and ran
with him into the house to grand
mother and told the good news OF
my discovery.
She took the fuzzy little fellow and
gently laid him in window in the
warm sunshine. He began to get
stronger until at last he would not
stay in the window at all--he was get
ting too frisky for anything.
When grandmother found that he
would absolutely not stay in the win .
dow any longer, she made nice, cozy
nest in her deep work basket. At
first this was just all right, but every
few minutes she would have to talk
to him as if he could understand her,
to keep him from yeaping, and at
times she would pick him up and pet
him in her warm hands. He would
whe, whe, and be perfectly contented,
but as soon as she put him in the bas-
ket he would begin yeaping again.
Now, how did this little white chick.
en-, with eyes like two little black
beads and only few hours old, know
grandmother from a basket?
1t finally got too risky to stay
in the basket. Grandmother had fin
ished her sewing and had something
else to do than to be foster mother
to little chicken. So she took il
out and put it with its mother. As
soon as it heard its mother clucking
it ran up to her in great glee and for
got it ever had grandmother.
Now, Busy Bees, tell me how this
chicken knew grandmother from
basket, or its mother from grand
mother? Do you suppose it heard its
mothers voice before it Matched out
of the eggl
This story is a true one, and if you
don't believe it, YOU can come to the
farm and see the hen and her chicks.

woke up hearing his mother calling
him. He wondered what she was

downstairs, where terrible sight met
his eyes.
There on the table lay a pile of
books, some paper and pencils and
nice pair of shoes and new waist.
He put the shoes on, then the new
waist and wondered what the books
were for.
His mother told him he was to
start to school. johnny began to
cry, 81 don't want to go to any

took him.
He met his teacher and playmates
and decided it wasn't so bad after
all. He passed every year and each
year liked school life better, until
he graduated. Then he went to col
lege, where after few years he
graduated. Now he is working in the

SOCIALISTS FAIL
IN PEACE EFFORT.
Dutch Socialist Thinks War
Will Cause a Growth of
Socialistic Ideas.

Amsterdam. Netherlands. Feb A.
B Dutch Socialists conceive it to be their
special task to bring together their
comrades of the belligerent nations for
common action against the war. In
this they have so far not succeeded.
owing chiefly to the refusal of the
Z French and German Socialists to CO
operate to this end, according to j. H.
Schaper, the principal spokesman of
the SOcial-Democratic party at its con-
, ference held here.
Says War Justifies Socialism.
Competition fOmented by capitalism,
Mr.. Schaper declared, was the cause
of the European war and it rebounds
to the credit of the Socialists of all
nations that they have everywhere pro-
tested against il. Except in Germany"
interrupted heckler, whereupOn
Schaper angrily retorted that in Ber-
I'm two days before the war, the
streets resounded with anti-war songs
ana cries for peace. The speaker de-
MED that the war had shown the falli-
bllity of SOcialistic principles, and af-
Ilrmed that on the contrary they had
tully Justified themselves. The war,
ne contended, has proved that Socialism
IS not an unattainable IDEAL and he
pointed out that the state regulation
OF food supplies and the establishment
OF maximum prices on the necessaries
OF life. as adopted at the present time
IN most European countries, was the
first step towards the realization of
the SOcialistic idea of distribution
Against secret JlplOmucts
Whether war will be possible when
Socialism is adopted as a basis Of gov
eminent was a question he said could
not be answered directly. He saw
severe pressure upon the workers
owing to the demands of all govern
ments for rearmaments after the war;
but Socialism would. at the same time,
gain great influence. Those who re-
turned from the battlefields would
realize the misery wrought by mill
tarism. and join in the struggle for
democracy against secret diplomacy.
Mr.. Schaper, who is a member Of the
recently appointed commission for the
taxation of war profits in Holland,
ended his speech by announcing that
bill on this subject would be sub
mitted to the government shortly Thus
Holland, he said, will come into line
with the belligerent countries, where
the enormous profits made on war con-
tracts will be compelled to yield
large proportion to the national ex
cheQuers.
