They are to work along the lines of
the Pennsylvania railroad. A crowd
of $500 relatives and friends crowded
into the station and down to the train

Getting the Church Branches Together.

Conferences OF three great religious denomina-
tions during the last week listened to reports to
the effect that progress Is being made along the
lines Of reunion OF branches OF the several seets
that parted company about the time Of the civil
war. II seems that the adjustment should not
be very difficult, but while the original cause
for division has disappeared, or should have,
other points have developed on which separation
hinges Unity OF belief In the great fundsmen-
tails on which Christianity rests Is not sufficient
to meet all the requirements OF the doctrinares.

Learning Our Lesson from the War.

The greatest lesson being taught Americans
by the war in Europe is not that we are unready
TO fight as battles are fought nowadays, although
that is esteemed Of great importance by serious
thinkers. What we most needed to know and
what is being driven home to US in a most inn
pressve manner, is our unthrift in other ways.
We not only boast OF our enormous aggregate
wealth and prosperity beyond conception, but we
prove il to the outsiders at least by the prodgal
waste we make OF It. The wealth that is used is
enough to astound our neighbors but they are
the more amazed by the dissolute manner we
have OF letting millions disappear that might be
saved by just little more care on our part.
For example we are running short on potash
and its derivatives or mineral allies. A southern
investigator has just discovered that for every
one hundred tons OF iron produced at the Ala
bama mines six tons Of cyanide OF potassium is
allowed to escape in fumes, to value at normal
prices OF $2400 or more than the worth OF the
iron. This waste is only feature of the general
recklessness with which our great industrial OPP
erations have been carried on. Many times Of
lateythe great loss due to neglect to recover the
values from the coal tar and the petroleum resi-
due has been detailed One OF the recent dis
QUESTIONS on some OF the things we are finding
out called attention 10 the fact that certain
quality Of sand is sent from Nebraska to Ger
many there made into quartz glass and returned
to this country, and that the price Of this glass
has mounted sky-hgh since the war, because its
importation is cut off. Yet the raw material for
that glass is found within few miles Of Omaha.
Organizing our industries for war s we'll un-
dertaken, but far more important business
would be to organize them for peace to the end
that something OF the enormous neglect now
praeticed be turned to use and the country be
given the benefit Of the wealth that ia now dissi-
pated In fumes to pollute the air or refuse to
foul the running streams.

The Case Of Jeremiah O. Lynch.

President Wilson's ntercesson on behalf OF
Jeremiah c. Lynch may save his life, boon
granted by the British government to the presi-
dent of the United States, But this does not lift
the responsibility OF American citizens to respect
the government under which they live. Our laws
do not eountenance treason or rebellion at home,
and cannot protect our citizens abroad when en-
gagged In endeavor TO overthrow a government
with which we are at peace. Protest against
