REDLI0HT DISTRICT.-In The
Day Book of the 9Th Of this month Is
the news that Pastor Johnston N.Y.
ers Of the Emmanuel Baptist church
wants a redIght district in Chicago.
He uses the old stall that the lid
spreads the evil. I lived in Chicago
before and after closing and made
particular study of industrial and So
ciaI conditions in and around the
city. : The closing not only lessened
the evil in the old district, but all over
the city. It lessened the abduction Of
girls to fill the ranks of the prosti-
tutes. Prostitutes are made, not
born. They are unnatural, not nat
ural. If the ease with which they
are made is lessened their number is
Iessened by death overtaking the
supply. When there was a district
there were plenty belonging there
who would not live there, and just as
many in the silk-stocking section.
By allowing vice we give it a head
quarters from which to grow and
spread. France found it out. This
man wishes in the mask of improve
ment to create an open white slave
market. Who would set aside a
patch in his garden for the weeds, so
that they would not spread over the
other parts? It is the same, except
that the weeds Of society in large
proportion start lives as the most
wholesome of flowers, and society
mast give up a fine life to be bur-
densd with wreck, Closing the vice

Germany Should Alter
Her Determination.

Germany should alter her inten-
lions If It is true that the kaiser has
determined TO have revenge for the
Baralong incident. The neutrals of
tho world, and there are only few
Of them left, should endeavor to i'm
press upon Germany that a great
wrong win be committed and the hor-
rors Of the war multiplied if the de-
termination Is carried through to eff
feet reprfsals upon British subjects
because of this incident.
The Baralong incident Is the one in
which the crew of German subma-
xine are alleged on disputed evil
dence to have been barbarously de-
stroyed after surrender some of them
while actually struggling for their
lives In the water and appealing for
aid.
Reprisals with this shocking charge
as an excuse would, of course, lead to
reprisals In return ON the part of
Germany'g enemies. Unfortunately,
the undecided issues of fact that
could serve as an excuse for such
course on their part are only too
numerous.
If Germany among British prison
ers of war IN her possession should
choose by lot a number for sum-
mary execution in retaliation for the
alleged Baralong crime against inter
national law, the British undoubtedly
would send to execution in counter
retaliation some of their captives
among the crews of German subma-
rines who are known to have at
tackled liners. Once entered on,
where would such course of horrors
heaped on horrors end? The British,
at least, are not accused of having
women and children to drown without
the slightest attempt at rescue.

Montenegro Appears to
Be a Gritty Little Nation.

Montenegro appears to be gritty
little nation. Outnumbered ten to
one by an army better equipped and
which found the barriers, hereto
fore impossible, easy to conquer, the
subjects Of this country refuse to
give up the fight, although driven
from one of their land to the other.
Budapest recently said the Mon
tenegrins had sued for peace and OBJ
tanned it, but Rome now says the UNI
equal struggle will continue until the
last Montenegro is dead. King Mich
olas has decided that hopeless war,
and there is no doubt but that it is
such when viewed from the Montene-
grin standpoint, is better than an ig-
nominous peace.
For hopeless his struggle must be
with Northern and Eastern Montene-
gro occupied, with Lovcen, CettinJe,
Bearne, in Austrian hands, with the
Montenegro army cut off from re-
Inducements and supplies. Perhaps
the king of Italy has promised his
father-in-law material reinforce
ments at an early date, and this
promise persuaded King Nicholas not
to forsake the allies, but to retreat
into Albania as best h. can and trust
to the future.
At any rate, the avoidance of
break in the ranks of the allied coun-
tries is important from the stand
point of allied prestige. Those
French and Italian newspapers which
have been too quick to charge the
aged Montenegro king with treach-
cry, can now try to explain that they
did not mean what they said. In
times like these it is always best to
wait for official confirmation from
both sides before launching abuse.

L
| With the return OF peace all aues-
tions had become domestic questions.
and there seemed now, for the nonce,
to be no serious differences of opinion
concerning them.
Mr.. Monroe took an early opportu-
nifty to domesticate, as it were, the
very foreign policy of the government,
by combining its issues to the Americas.
European statesmen were putting
their houses in order after the con-
vulsions Of the NapoIeonic wars; set
ting up thrones which had been over
turned. rehabilitating states which
had been torn asunder. reassigning
territory. establishing once more the
balance Of power and the rights OF
shaken dynasties.
Finding their careful work likely to
be marred and rendered of no avail
by the passion for liberty which had
spread like an unquenchable fire out
of France and touched the subjects of
almost every sovereign of Europe. they
drew their States together under the
leadership of Austria and her consum-
mate Metternich to crush every rising,
silence every demand for liberal re-
form, and make good the jeoparded
absolutism of their kings throughout
the length and breadth OF Europe.
Their reactionary purposes having
be IN accomplished with some touch OF
thoroughness on the continent itself.
Spain prayed them to assist her to win
the revolted colonies of South America
back to her crown. and they seemed
about to accede to her prayer.
Mr.. Canning. England's watchful
minister, saw at once the peril there
would be in that to England's trade
in the south.
He knew. too. how hearty a sym
pathy the people of the United States
entertained for the newly liberated
peoDles and the newly esta bliahed re-
pubIics Of the southern continent Of
America, and how profitable a trade
American as well as English merchants
were finding in the ports which only
revolution could have opened to them.
He proposed. therefore. TO Mr.. Rush,

Astrologers read this as an IN
satisfactory day, so far as planetary
direction is concerned. Jupiter
changes from good to evil aspect
while Neptune and the Sun are adj

This is read as most unlucky
rule for all speculation. Heavy losses
are foreshadowed, especially in GER
tain stocks that are usually stable.
There is sign indicating AFRO
gance on the part of men in power,
whether they rule in the financial,
political or religious world. Appeals
to persons in authority should be de-
layed until more propitious stars
rule.
Trouble in regard to the United
States navy is strongly forecast,
While Congress argues over appro-
priations, man in high place will
suffer from severe criticism, astrol-
ogers predict.
Among the new men whose rise to
prominence has been prognosticated
one will win fame by means of new
invention, which means much in mill
tary affairs.
Before the new year is half spent
the seers predict that two women
prominent in public affairs will die.
Canada has planetary govern
ment read as presaging remarkable
future, which will be the realization
of supreme ambition now merely
smoldering.
California has the prophecy of a
year that may bring severe tests N
business affairs, but the state will

In the South the race question may
become a serious problem in con-
nection with some national event.

may cause heavy losses in the East
