'Partisans Of T aci6st Move
ment Ignore Obvious
Facts
BY Rev. WILLIAM CARTER
Brooklyn, N. Y.
The whole trouble with the paci-

THE whole trouble with the paci-
fist movement is that it has
been betrayed in the house OF
its friends. Listen to this from one
of the most notable leaders of the
movement: In 1913 DR.. David Starr
Jordan, president emeritus of Le-
land Stanford, Jr., university, wrote
a book entitled "War and Waste, +"
in which he said: "What shall we
say of the great war in Europe,
ever threatening, ever impending
and which never comes? We shall
say that it will never come. HUI
manly speaking it is impossible"
AND YET, NOTWITHSTANDING
THESE Elk CATHEDRAL STATE
MENTs so soLEMNLY AND oRAC-
ULARLY GIVEN, 1T HAS COME.
The trouble with the pacifst
seems to be that he is too intellectu-
ally arrogant, too cocksure Of him
self, too carried away by sentiment
and the stuff that dreams are made
Of. He will not face the facts. He
will not look at human nature as it
is. HE WILL NOT PREDICATE
HIS ACTION ON WHAT MAN is,
BUT ON WHAT HE THINKS HE
is OR WHAT HE THINKS GOD
OUGHT TO HAVE MADE HIM.

LONDON, Aug. 12.-TAs advance
guard of the Russian force that occu-
pied Stanislau, pressed. on two miles
northeast of the city and crossed the
river Zlota Bistritza, eighteen miles
south Of Halitz, according to Petro-
grad dispatches today.
The Austro-G Germans offered but
weak resistance and then continued
their retreat north. Several guns
were abandoned by the enemy in
their retreat from the Zlota Bistritza.
Two separate Russian forces are
now converging on Halitl, the imme-
diate objective of General Letchitsky
in his drive against Lemberg. The
first, moving eastward along the north
bank, of the Dnfester, Is less than
twenty miles from Halitz. The sec
ond force, operating south of the
Dniester, is composed Of the detach-
ments that took Stanfslau.
There is no indication in dispatches
from either Petrograd, Berlin or
Vienna that the Russian advance, the
most rapid made by any army since
has been even slowed up. In four
days the Slavs have progressed
twenty miles and in the fighting about
Stanislau alone they have taken
nearly twenty villages and towns.
Battling over much more difficult
country, the Italians have scored sue
cess Of equal Importance in their
southwark swing toward Trieste. The
news from both Petrograd and Rome
suggests that the generalization Of
the Austrian armies may be more
complete than earlier advices indi-

SAN FRANCISCO, Calf, Aug. II.
Dawn peeped in the window OF the
ST. Francis hospital today and, found
a woman waiting. A bird chirped on
the window sill.
so this Is day % unused the wom-
an. "And that is bird. And those
are flowers. 1t is all just as dream
ed it would be-"
"Yes," repeated the nurse. "This
is day and that is bird and those
are flowers"
The woman was Mrs. Mary O'Ear-
rell who today saw daylight for the
first time. She had been blind for
sixty-two years. DR.. Aaron Green.
formerly Of Denver, had performed
the operation that brought light out
OF darkness. All night long the
woman waited restlessly for the day
so that she might enjoy the things
she had visualized in her years of
darkness.
"And what Is the most beautiful
thing you hope to see?" inquired the
nurse.
Il have already seen it." was the
reply. 1T was my boy-my great
big boy whom l never saw until last
night. My only regret is that I never
saw my husband. that he died before
my vision was restored"
Mrs. O'Farre1ps son, "a years old,
visited her at the hospital last night.
She does not know him At his
own suggestion he was presented to
her as q physician But the instant
he spoke she was in his arms. To her
eyes he was stranger, but her ears
recognized the pet and purpose of all
her life.
