PEACE CHANGE IS SMALL, IS OPINION

(Continued from Page One) with the assent of the Russian ambas- sador at London, found the formula for an understanding, thus: If the Austrian advance against Belgrade is stopped the powers shall examine in what manner Servia can satisfy Austria's demands without compromising our foreign rights and independence.'
 UNSENT TELEGRAM
 "On the same day our chancellor tele- graphed our ambassador at Vienna advo- eating a direct conversation between Vienna and St. Petersburg, and declaring that Germany would decline to be drawn into the world war If her suggestion were not needed by Austria Hungary. Vienna simultaneously accepted the formula of the understanding.
 This was the situation upon which the news of the Russian mobilization fell. England's guilt is thus an unsent telegram to St. Petersburg similar to that from Berlin to Vienna on July 30 Russia was sure that England would fol- low her."
 pr. David insisted that peace would come as soon as Germany's enemies un- derstood the impossibility of annihilating her. Pointing out that not all English share the views of Walter Runciman, president of the board of trade, and others woh he said preach war of an- initiation and war after the end of the war pr. David emphatically repudiated the idea that Germany could be con quered by inner discord and indiscre. tion
 Ours is a war of defense'' he con tinued. This binds us all together We wish the establishment of independent Belgium; that of a Belgium independent of Great Britain and France. NO CONQUEST WANTED
 We did not enter the war with inten- tions of conquest. We reassured Eng land that we would not attack the north coast of France. It is probably unknown in England that telegram went from the German Emperor to the King of Eng land which confirmed Prince Lichnowski's S assurance. M. Juarez (the late socialist leader in the French Chamber of Depu- ties) urged the French ministers before the outbreak of the war to bring pressure upon Russia in order to avoid hostilities. maintain the policy for which Juarez died. Our enemies are guilty of continu- ing the war.
 We hold that war has no adequate means of deciding disputes between na- tions," continued Dr. David. We are per- suaded that legal forms must be created in order to dispose of such differences. Slandering reports have been circulated abroad that German declines such legal forms. We. therefore, greeted with joy full shouts the chancellor's indorsement in his last speech of the idea of arbitration IL all civilized humanity shall adopt these views, wars like the present one will be avoided and we can say in truth Peace on earth ?

Injuries Received in Drag Hunt

Miss Mabel Flynn, 32, of Warren
ton, who was one Of this country'S
most famous horsewomen, died at
$50 yesterday afternoon at Emer-
gency Hospital as the result of in
juries received in drag hunt at
Warrenton on April ID. Miss Flynn
was brought to the Washington hos
pital Immediately after the accident.
She regained consciousness that day
but her injuries were such that re-
covery wps dcspaired of by the ply
sician soon after she was brought to
the Capital.
Miss Flynn was riding to the hounds
at the Warrenton Hunt Club when
the accident happened. She was try

frequently at Madison Square Gar
den in New York and at Long Beach
She had been in attendance at many
of the recent meetings in New York

perty of Mr.. Johnson, which won
nearly $50 blue ribbons in this coun-
try. She was riding this famous horse
when he won his hundredth blue rib
bon.

DEMAND FOR HOT. CROSS BUNS
Many Alexandrians celebrated Gus.
tom Dating From the Days of
= Pharoahs

:
Pancakes are generally indulged in
on Shrove Tuesday, at the beginning
of Lent, and the custom of eating
hot cross buns on Good Friday is
gradually becoming general in Alex
andria. Bakers sell great quantities
of these inviting products every
year.
1t may not be generally known,
but it is fact that this, custom was
in vogue centuries before the Chris.
tian era.
Back to the days Of Egyptian pagan
ism the hot cross bun habit started
with the Offering of cakes to the moon
goddess.
The thousands who went to church
yesterday knew exactly why they
went, and why the ceremony of the
alteration of the cross was held and
why the priests celebrated the mass
of the presanctified though but few
of them knew that the hot cross
buns were of as sacred origin as any
of the other customs.
The worlds first hot cross buns
were marked with the horns of an
OK, for the moon goddess, to which
they were offered as sacrifice, wore
horns in those days. Later the Greeks
marked them with cross, represent
ing probably the four quarters of
the moon, which was still the deity.
So they came on down through the
ages, symbol of worship on Good
Friday by MeXicans, Peruvians, Greek,
French, Romans, and finally the Eng
lish, who are said to have done a
good trade in buns and cakes stamp
ed with cross as far back as 1852"
despite royal proclamations forbid
ding the practice.
They have lost some of their sacred
identity. For instance, there Is
particularly sacred about the
childhood rhyme, supposed to repre-
sent the street cry of the English
baker with his call:
'If your daughter don't like 'em,
give 'em to your sons.
One-a-penny, two-a-penny, hot cross
buns"
Probably the descendant of the ori-
ginal hot cross buns was the Holy
Eucharist in the Good Friday services
in Greek Catholic churches yesterday.
There the host was marked with Il
cross in strict observance of GUS
ON ages old in the Greek church.

Hungarian statesmen in particu-
