GOOD USE FOR A MILLION

NNEMPLE UNIVERSITY. the friends of
4 which are now engaged In campaign to
raise an endowment Of s.. 100000. is one of the
most remarkable institutions in this city or
country 1t was started in 1884 to meet the
needs OF a young man who wanted to study to
become preacher. Within four years It had
nearly 600 students in the different depart
ments that had been organized and it received
charter. Three years later it was authorized
TO grant degrees. 1t has an annual attendance
now Of $500 students and an alumni list OF
more than 100000. If every one of the alumni
would give $40 the desired endowment would
be raised
Those citizens, however, who are inter.
ested in sustaining an institution which pro-
vides instruction to young men and women
in a way that they cannot obtain in the
other educational institutions OF the city are
to be asked to cooperate with the alumni in
providing the funds necessary to continue
the work Of the university when its founder
and main benefaetor, Doctor ConwelI, is no
longer able to continue his remarkable aetiv-
ity The committees In charge of the cam
paign are confident OF their success and those
who know the generosity and the public spirit
OF this city share that confidence with them

was a mystic word with him. In November,
1900, he wrote:
What a business this has been in China
So far we have got on by being honest and
naif-I do not clearly see where we are to

alliance with Germany. / would rather, /
think, be the dupe of China than the chum

What the world taking at that time
was Germany's fierce assaults on China But
the open door persisted. 1t kept on in spite
of the Russo-Japanese war, in spite of the
changes in Korea and in spite of our own
attitude in the Philippines. And now, it
seems, it is dead.
There Is great deal to be said yet about
the new Russo-Japanese treaty Gf that treaty

looks to the future, not to the past. 1t in.

Germany and England as well. Six years ago
Prof. Archibald C. Coolidge of Harvard, pre-
dicted the new arrangement in spite of the
war which had passed between the two coun-
tries. 1t is not impossible that within a
short time-short that is If one considers the
hatreds and the miseries of the present war
Germany and England will be together to face
the menace of Japan and Russia.
There is no definite reputation of any prin-
ciple in the new treaty Its Importance lies
in the facts that Japan has cast off England
and that Russia has acted without France;
that both have acted without any reference
to the world at large Each promises aid to
the other in case of trouble with China
Neither promises to withhold aid if any other
Power joins with China to resist demands
made under the treaty. Were England at
liberty today she might consider the Russo.
Japanese treaty as a denuncation of both the
Triple Entente and the Anglo,Japanese pact.
When she is at liberty again she may have a
word to say.
The present war has been traced back to
two sources: the British control of the Med
iterranean and Germanys attempt to under
mine that control by building a rail route
through from Berlin to the East It must be
with heavy heart that the lover of peace
looks upon this new treaty which destroys
the work done by John Hay and laws I'D for
the world another war which may be more
dreadtu1 than this. 1t is pure speculation
put IN these times the blacIer speculations
are the more likely they seem to come true
