IMMORTALITY

Spring comes. and with the advancing sun there
comes the repetition OF a miracle which, though oft per-
formed. is yet so marvellous that custom never makes 1t
commonplace. The snowy mantle Of the winter months
Is gone. The bare. brown earth Is cold and desolate.
Trees stretch their leafless branches toward the sky. and
silence reisns where once birds sang and breezss whis-
persd messages from leaf to flower. The world is cold
and dead.
But now the sun swings higher in the heavens. His
genial rays touch the chill earth with warmth and COM
fort The iron soil grows mellow. Seeds sprout and send
their rootlets down, and tender shoots seek light and
breathing space Brown meadows now are carpeted with
green. Through all the trees life currents flow from trunk
to branch. and twig and bud. Ieaflet and blossom, cum
ning1y bestowed. unfold and deck the woodland with a
mist OF fairy gauze. Soft breezes. blowing from tho south,
bring hints Of fragrant flowers. Birds wing their way
to seek their nesting places. and fill the air with gladness.
Tho cold. dead world has come to life.
So. to tho world, with Easter, comes the message
that for the soul there is no death. Sin and inhrmity.
and blackness Of despair are but the passing phases of a
winter day. and life. and light and joy are on before.
The symbol of the risen Christ brings to each heart the
message of eternal life. the certainty that day by day and
hour by hour each mortal may put on Immortality,

CHINA AND GERMANY
(From lndianapolis New

(FrOm Indianapolis NeWs.)
When the kaiser sent his troops to
China to help in putting down the
Boxer rebellion, he gave them the
following paternal counsel:
when you meet the foe you will de-
feat him. No quarter will be given,
no prisoners will be taken. Just as
the Hun a thousand years ago, un-
der he leadership of Attila- gained
a reputation in virtue of which they
still live in historic tradition, 80 may
the name of Germany become known
In such manner in China that no Chi
naman will aver again dare LOOK
askance at a German.
These instructions from a man who
is supposed to hold his crown directly
from God. were carried out to the let
ter. Never was there q contact be-
tween a Christian and a non-Christtan
in this case. The German con.
tingent obeyed. as usual, its imperial
master unhesitatingly. We have no
doubt that there are thousands, per-
haps millions Of peopls. in China who
have the bitterest recollection Of the
German atrocities committed against
them. But China 10 far of. and the
people Of the world took little account
OF her suffering.
The desired effect. however. does
rot seem to have been produced. For
China a broken relations with the
imperial German government, and
sent it, diplomatic representative
The challenge has been ac-
pie IN China who dare look askanco
at a German" Tho campaign Of the
name was conferred by the
kalser-haa borne bittar fruit.

SIXTY GERMAN
C0NSPIRAT0RS
T0BE ARRESTED
Government Orders Them
Held as Prisoners as long
as the War Lasts.
Ringleaders in Plots Against
American Neutrality to
be Taken.

Warrington, April 1.-THE arrest
Of sixty alleged ringleaders in Ger
man plots, c~onspiracies and machina-
tons in the United States was ordered
Friday by Attorney General Gregory
Immediately after President Wilson
had signed the war resolution.
Every MAJ whose arrest was order
ed is a German citizen and is known
authoritativsly said, to have partici-
pated actively in German intrigues in
this country and is regarded as a
dangerous person to be at large.
Bail will be refused in each case. it
was said. and the entire group will be
locked up unless there is a change in
present plans for the duration Of war.
More Arrests likely.
Indications are that a number Of
the next few days.
The men are placed in. three
groups:
Those who have been convicted of
violation of American neutrality in
furthering German plots and are at
liberty under bond awaiting action Of
higher courts: those who have been
indicted by federal grand juries for
similar offenses and are at liberty I'M

persons ordered apprehended yester-
day but 1t was said virtually all of
First Time in Century.
For the first time in more than a
century, RrroStc IF allan anannioo nm
der the attorney generals order will
be made without reference to the
courts or obtaining warrants. The
president is empowered to adopt this
cours in time Of war under an act Of
congress passed in 1898 and not in
voked since the war with Great Brit
ain in 1919.
The department has under strict
surveillance thousands Of German re-
~servists in the United States who are
suspected Of having been connected
with plots already brought t o light,
but abandoned before perfection, or
who have been active in German pro-
paganda or because Of their accentu-
ated leanings toward the German
government are regarded as likely to
work against the interests OF the
United States during the war.
How many German reservists are
residents Of the United States, a high
OFFICIAL said tonight. has never been
determined. This officials belief was
that the number ranged between
10000 and 200. 1000. The great ma
jority. 1t vas said, are men in mid
die life or beyond, or those who have
been in this country for so many
years that their sympathies are con-
sidered virtually as having been
tr%ansplantSd to the United States.
There are. however, it was said. be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 young Ger
man reservists in this country in the
prime of life who have been here SO
short a time that they may be regard
ed as potential sources Of trouble.

For obvious reasons the depart
persons ordered ~apprehended today.
but it was said that virtually all OF
them could be classed as quasi-ofii-
Gals Of the German government.
Many Of them. it is alleged, We're the
instrumentalities through which Cap
tains Boy-Ed and Won Papen carried
u their activities in this country
against the allies. a few OF the num-
Der. 1t was said, could properly he
classed as spies.
The department is prepared to con-
test to the highest court any effort
made to obtain the liberation under
bond or by habeas corpus proceed
ings of the men ordered arrested to-
day. The in which the ar
rests were ordered made-by United
states marshals forthwith without
reference to the courts--is a purely
wartime step, unauthorized In time

a writer and publicist Of national renown. In a state

Mr.. White declares that democracy is only a. strong as

that every man and every woman may have a !. important

MADAME QUEVILL0N Is
TEACHING FRENCH FOR
BENEFIT OF ORPHANS

Madame Quevllon, who has been
making such a success of her French
teaching since coming here last Feb
ruary, has reopened her classes fol-
the benefit of French orphans, and is
having a most gratifying attendance
These classes are held every Monday
and Thursday. There are three oil
them, the first being open to every
body, and held in Madame Quevillou's
home, ST Richards street, from 1:30
to $3.50 o'clock. This is a double class
taking beginners the first hour and
advanced pupils the second. The Y
w. c. A. class is from to 6 O'Clock,
and the Y. NJ. G. A. class from 1880
to $50 o'clock, Mondays and Thurs.
days. The "Y" classes are open to
members only.
Except for a small percentage paid
to the two "Y's" for use of the class
rooms, every cent of the money taken
in by Madame Quevillon for these
benefit classes goes to the French or.
phans. She keeps nothing for herself.
She has, however, about 245 French
pupils at Schofield and Cashier,
among the soldiers and enlisted men.
and these pay for their lessons, so
that the American soldier is doing his
bit" for the French orphans, in q
way, by making it possible for this
French feacher TO keep on with her
benefit classes.
Madame Quevillon has two sons in
the aviation corps
