AMERICA IS FIGHTING
TO CURB DESPOT|SM
Prof. w. ]. Shepard Says U.
S. Is Making World Safe.
for Democracy.
PUT HUMANITY FIRST
War Will Cause New Inter
nationalism and League
to Enforce Peace.

I'VE entered the war, not to defen
the shattered rights of neutrals, bu
to curb an Unsuitable despotism, t,
make the world safe for democracy
and to uphold the principles of human
ity." This statement was made by W
j. Shepard, professor of politica
science and public law, in his Univer
sity Assembly lecture last night OF
the Failure of Neutrality" He show.
ed how the laws of neutrality had beer
built up largely through the influence
of the United States because of its
geographical isolation, and that the
whole fabric of neutrality had been
practically destroyed during the pres
ent war.
Mr.. Shepard declared that we should
have not only democracy, but an in
ternational democracy, in which the
rights of humanity will be put above
the rights of nations. When this war
is over, peace will be made by the
representatives of the peoples of the
earth, instead of monarchs.
"The motive of the period following
the war will be internationalism," Mr..
Shepard said. "One of the results
of the war will be the formation of
league to enforce peace. The con-
fiicting desires of small nationalities
must give way to the larger interests
of internationalism."
The present war is following the
principle taught by Hugo Grosius, the
father of international law, that there
should be no neutrals, but that all
nations should join on the side of the
belligerent whose cause was lust.
This is opposed to the traditions of
the American people, who up to the
beginning of this war held that it was
not only a right but a duty to remain
neutral.
The speaker showed how our neu-
trail position had become untenable
because of the successive violations,
first by one belligerent and then
of all the laws of neutrality.
The invasion of Belgium, the depor-
tation and mistreatment of her people,
mining of the North Sea, the illegal
blockade of England, the submarine
warfare, and the bombardment of nom
fortified towns are instances. The
reason for this is that the war is a |
contest, not between armed forces as
such, but between nations as such.
Although the warning nations were
successfully ignoring the principles |
Of neutrality, the United States lived /
up to these principles religiously. We
were bitterly criticised by Germany
'or selling munitions to the Allies, for
not interning armed merchantmen,
md for allowing citizens to sail on
oelligerent ships, in all of which we
we're perfectly within our neutral
tights. Yet the effect of it all was to
nd the Allies. When is became evil
lent that we could not preserve our
position as neutral. We were COM
'elled to enter the war.

SPORT

The Y. NJ. G. A. baseball team de-
feated the Journalists yesterday ant
ernoon, Is to s. The Journalists took
an early lead and held it until the
fifth inning. In the fifth inning poor
fielding, mixed with a base on balls
and several errors, allowed the Y. NJ.
C. A. to score eight rams after two
men had been put out. The work of
the writer's Outfield was the poorest
of the year. Fly balls fell all around
the fielders. The Journalists rallied
the last of the fifth and sixth innings,
but were too far behind to catch the
"Y" team.

THE TWO GERMANS

Every student and tourist who has
visited Germany and has been i'm
pressed by the friendliness of its
people comes to think of the country
as two Germanys.
One is that of the kaiser and of mil
itary autocracy, who believe in the di-
vine right of rulers and the idea of
the mailed fist" Its adherents are
without trust in the people and are
opposed to any further extension of
democracy. Their faith is in the
power of the sword, and they depend
for aid upon a subservient bureau
cracy.
The other Germany is totally differ
ent. 1t is the land of great souls
who have really made the spirit of
the nation. Their administrators,
scientists, philosophers and musicians
have given to the world the results
of their labors. From these people
has come a system of social care for
the masses of Germany which has
challenged the admiration of all
thinking people.
Meager press reports show that au-
tocratic Prussia is still dominant,
although the other Germany is be-
ginning to make itself heard. Out
of the reforms and readjustments
that follow war, it is to be hoped that
the world may again profit by the
good works of the Germans

their bushes; rainbow trout and

Trinity Church
RevivaIlMeetings

AT the revival at, Trinity M. E
lchurch last night Rev Bennett preach.
ed on the asabjectj5 looking Yourself
in the Face I The text was taken
from Pisa. 81 q, Against thee, thee
only, have ! sinned." Here we have a
man looking himself in the face
and the mans name happened to be
King David. When he saw himself
and sin in his heart there came to him
revelation of how ugly sin really
was. 1t is very difficult for people
to look into the mirror and say: 81 am
homely." Sin is ugly, and people
want to paint it and cover it up as
they do freckles and imperfections on
their faces, but after they have white
washed sin, in the language of Christ
to the Pharisees they are "whited sep
ulchers which appear all uncleanness. "
Here we have a picture of sin al
though it may be whitewashed.
People should look their moral
self" in the eye; if they did they
would not do things that they would
not want their mother, wife, or hus-
band to know about. The man that
comes home at 2 o'clock in the morn
ing, cannot look his wife in the eye
the next morning, nor does he look
himself in the moral eye. Then folks
should look their religious self" in
the eye. Does the professed Christian
love Christ, prayer, the church, and
its service above everything else?
When people are not looking them
selves in the eye, other peoples sins
look like mountains, but when folks
begin to look at their own sins other
people are not so bad in. their estima-
ton. When. David looked himself in
the face he was ashamed, and he wept
like one weeping over a dead loved
one, and God was sorry for him and
freely forgave him his sin. When men
plunge into sin they do not stop to
look themselves in the face. 1t is only
when they get alone with their con-
science and God that they will look at
themselves. 1t is only when they hold
up the mirror, Christ, that they be-
hold themselves as they are. When
people start in sin there is something
that says, "Soul, go not that way;
this is the way, walk we in it." If
they would only obey that voice God
would come to them and their lives
would be made beautiful. e
Tomorrow morning at 1890 there
will be union Thanksgiving services al
