man invasion turned from the Battle of the Marne that the conflict was certain to be long and desperate. Ordinary knowledge of history-ot our own history during the Napolc- onic wars-made it plain that in that conflict neutral rights would be worthless unless powerfully main- tained. All the world had fair notice that, as against the desperate beln~ gerent resolve to conquer, the law of nations and the law of humanity in- terposed no affective barriers for the protection of neutral rights. Ordinary practical sense in the conduct of affairs demanded that such steps should be taken that behind the peaceable assertion of our country's rights, its independence and it's honor, should stand power, manifest and available, warning the whole world that it would cost too much to press aggression too far. The democratic government at Washington did not see it. Others saw it and their opin- ions found voice. Mr Gardner urged it; MT. Lodge urged it; MT. Stimson urged it; but their argument and UT lives and the president described them with a sheer as being nervous and excited.
 President Shifted Ground.
 But the warning voices would not be stilled. The opinion that we ought no longer to remain defenseless be came public opinion. It's expression grew more general and insistent and finally the president, not leading, but following, has shifted his ground, has reversed his position, and asks the country to prepare against war God grant that he be not too late. But the democratic party has not shifted it's ground. large part of its mem bers in congress are endeaVorlng now to sidetrack the movement for na- tional preparedness; to muddlC 1t by amendment and turn it into chan nels which will produce the least possible result in the increase of na- tional power and defense. What sense of effectiveness in this effort can We gather from the presence of JoSephuS Daniels at the most critical post of all the head of the navy department: when we see that where preparation has been possible it has not been made; when we see that construc- ton of warships already authorized mas not Deeu pieSSeus dllu III ooAiiS cases after long delay has not even been begun.

There is a Real Difference

Cream of tartar, derived from grapes, is used in Royal Baking Powder because it is the best and most healthful ingredient known for the purpose
 Phosphate and alum, which de- rived from mineral sources, are used in some baking powders, instead of cream of tartar, because they are cheaper.
 If you have been induced to use baking powders made from alum or phosphate, use Royal Baking Powder instead. You will be pleased with the results and the difference in the quality of the food.

HAUBER THEATRE.

Monday-Sir Gilbert Parker wrote a prefade to the book. eve Are ftrenchr from which the Bluebird photoplay, "The Bugler of Algiers' was made. In this he said, "Theres a note of patriotism in it which sings on every page" It sings so loudly, indeed, that the book has come to be looked upon as sort of text book Of patriotism. by the men who. while we in America are preparing to celebrate
 the Christmas holidays. are laying down their lives by thousands. in re- sponse to their country's call. Num- berless copies of the book have founa
 their way to England, and from thence to the trenches. The French heard of this story which was firing their allies to enthusiasm and General Joffre himself heard O: it. He be- came curious and had translation of the story made and read aloud to him. Now the Tommy reads it in one trench while the poilu reads it ill the next one.
 While the scene of the story is laid in France which even her enemies in the present war unite i'll honoring' for the proved quality of her patriot ism, there is nothing TO locallze the appeal of the picture to one Of the deepest and finest instincts of the human race--love of country. i' would be to belittle the picture to confine it's message to Frenchmen The inspiration of the picture IS above nationality, it is universal.

Monday-"Daredevil Kate" is a character unique in literature and motion pictures" said Virginia Pear son, star of the William Fox film which bears the name of it's heroine. Kate begins by being bad woman; then she becomes good, then she re- lapses into wickedness with redoun- led energy; and when again she be- comes good she does so to stay"
 Kate represents to my mind." said Miss Pearson, "a combination of Car men, Cleopatra, the Gill of the Gold en West, and Cigarette. She has a good side that is not displayed in any of those, not even in Ouida's famous Cigarette. She is a woman of energy and courage, absolutely fearless, she is woman of kindness and virtue without spark of real evil in her heart.
 T call her girl bandit. I've thought about her ever since I begaT work on this pidture, and l cant get term that is more descriptive" AS Miss Pearson talked her hand wandered toward her hip. Hanging there was large, old~fashioned re volver, part of the makeup o1 Daredevil Kate.

while and would repay a long
trip; but along with the informa-
tion and the appeal there is 9TH
er beneft-a broader outlook,
quickened interest, stimulus to
more active participation in the
work of the local church as the
source of power. That is worth
rejecting on. The laymen ar not
undertaking any new thing;
they are just trying to see. 1t is
true, probably, that most laymen
have been rather half-hearted in
their efforts because they knew
but little of the work of the
church beyond the Sunday ser
mon and the weekly prayer meet
ng. Such a convention as that
Columbia'will bring to laymen
when they are most receptive
view of the world as a religious
opportunity. But there will be
much more for the church has
problems at home and must
study these problems as church
liabilities. Social problems in
thu congested cities, somewhat
per clicking subject, must be solv-
eG But the church must in
fuse into all relations the spirit
of the gospel. Laymen as study
ing as well as ministers, and a
free discussion, led by men who
are in touch with those things.
must prove greatly beneficial.
And tAe individual-what should
ne his attitude? Such questions
will be illumined by intelligent
discussion.

WEDDINGS AT SEA.
No License Required and Di-
vOreeS Cannot Be Obtained.

1T is not widely known that
weddings solemnized at sea re-
quirc no civil license. The rea-
son is simple. The civil iurisdic-
tion of a country does not extend
beyond three miles from it's
shores, and therefore it's author
ity and it's license at a greater
distance would be void.
In such cases, the ships mas
ter has authority to unite the
contracting parties. The captain
then makes a report to the Gus
toms house at the port from
which he sails, and the custom
ofhclals report the matter at
Washington, where the marriage
is lied in the federal archives.
?here is one pecularity to the
marriage at sea; divorce is prac-
tlcally impossible. This is be-
cause the power that authorized
the marriage is federal power,
and state courts cannot abropate
federal actions. In order to be
divorced, the case would REQUIRE
the action Of a federal court and
federal court has never handled
such a case.

Are they hungry? t so, the
traveller does not know it. 1t is
true meat is served only on Ger.
tain days, but other wise the
fruit is good and plentiful. The
meal | enjoyed most on the trip,
he most wholesome ,.nd palat-
able, was eaten during my stay
in Germany. But in the hotels,
cafes, stations, and all public
places, large posterR display
what is known as the Ten War
Commandments" These COM
mandments call upon the people
to economize and conserve their
resources. This to m- was sig
nificant.
But the great lesso, this war
has for us is that we must pre-.
pare. Prepare for war? No,
God forbid that it should ever
come. But prepare, as our presi-
dent says, to preserve the peace.
For no one can visit thu belliger-
ent countries, as | have zone, and
see the devastating effects of
war without feeling as Sherman
did, that "war is hell" and that
the graetest constructive work
for this country today is to pre-
pare to preserve the peace.
We must prepare, also, to pro-
test the honor of the flag and the
rights of citizens at home and
abroad. For no ono can visit the
belligerent countries, as | have
done, and hear the c..ntemptuous
filings and slurs of ridicule heap
ed upon our country. our presi-
dent and our flag without feeling,
too, that we should have an army
and navy large enough to COM
mand the respect of the world.
Then, too, we must prepare
not only to preserve the peace,
not only to protect the honor of
the flag and the rights of citi-
zens, but also to maintain the
freedom of the seas and to make
our voice heard in the councils
of the world. For after this W ar
is over and a new code of inter-
national laws will be written and
a new court of international JUS
tice established, and if we are
prepared to command the respect
of the world we can speak for
the neutral powers of the earth
and fulfil our high duty to hu-
manity.
