HIBBEN WANTS WAR
WITHOUT WAITING
Princeton Head Says U. S.
Should Not Linger Till Driven
In to Save Commerce.

NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-John Grier
Hibben, who became president OF
Princeton University when President
Wilson first entered politics, demand
ed before an audience Of 1,5OO per
sons in a Brooklyn church that Amer
lea enter the war on the righteous
side of the allies, and not wait until
she was driven in solely for the pro-
lection of her commerce.
President Hibbens declaration,
made near the close of an address In
which he scored the United States
for lack of an international con-
science, was received in earnest ST.
lence.
Under Solemn Obligations.
1--WE are under solemn obligations
as Christians and as citizens to do
whatever is in eur power to preserve
the peace" he began, but We are
also under a more solemn obligation
to defend what Is right. 1t Is not
peace alone that we have to consider,
but peace and righteousness.
"There have been times In the past
when this nation had to turn its back
on peace, yet no man would say to-
day that when Abraham Lincoln &C
cepted, for himself and his people,
the ordeal of battle, he wanted TO
lead the country into war. or that he
did not accept. the soul-torture of
mankind.
"The same issue confronted the
King OF Belgium. He had only q
short time to decide. His irst duty
was to protect his own people and
keep them at peace, but he had q
higher duty, and he was willing to
sacrifice his own people because he
heard the nobler call-the call OF
honor.
Question of Duty.
"The question is whether 1t is the
duty of the nation to keep out OF the
war, and what is its duty toward
those nations that are engaged in the
war. What about this phrase Inter
national conscience? / am free to
confess that America has not risen to
the appreciation as a people Of the
obligation resting upon them as ma

First Means Of Crossing the Blue

In looking back over a history OF the

base OF the Blue Mountains, a plateau
5000 feet in height and a days ride
from the coast, should mark the edge
of known land for twenty-five years
after civilization.
There are, however. good reasons for
this seeming lack Of enterprise. accord
ing to the National Geographic Maga-
zine. The Blue Mountains. though not
lofty. are broad. and constitute a for
midable barrier. There are no long val
leys heading in practicable passes and

the narrow divides were chosen for

The famous "Zigzags" OF the first rail-
road, now replaced by a dozen expensive
tunnels required for the precipitous de-
scent Of 1000 feet, give even the casual
tourist an impression of the rugEedness
of the plateau; and when one Is led out
