Exposes Existing Fallacies.

The many fallacies and objections
existing in the present methods and
attempts to bring about permanent
world peace, international courts OF
arbitration" Commissions OF inqui-
ry" mediation" good Offices" etc,
are laid open. The ineffectiveness of
an international court of arbitration
is particularly pointed out.
The writer says that the over
wnelming majority OF wars are caus-
ed by international political disputes
rather than international legal dis
putes, and that an international court
OF arbitration Is capable OF deciding
only the latter kind of questions.
Professor Minor has made sweep
ing and logical classification of inter-
national grievances and analyses and
discusses each class in support OF this
assertion
Questions Not Admirable.

national court to our own doors in

MOST PROFITABLE YEAR
FOR VtMADLE-STREEI
Splendid Progress Made Under Wise
and Energetic Leadership of
Rev. j. II. johnson.

The annual meeting Of the Ven
able-Street Baptist Church, Rev. J. Il.
Johnson. pastor, was held Wednesday
night 1t was agreed that the re-
ports. taken all around. were about
the best the church had ever had.
There had been Il9 additions to
the church, the present membership
being 1850. The fellowship and
spiritual life OF the church are about
at their highest tide. The offerings
for missions. over $1,000, are the
largest ever given in one year. An
optimistic spirit for the future seemed
manifest on the part of all
The Sunday School, under the wise
leadership of Superintendent W. D..
Melton, showed a gain OF an average
Of thirty-one per Sunday over last
year All committees for the year
were elected and the outlook was
never brighter.
on Sunday morning the pastor
gave a review of his seven years
work as pastor. It was noted that
there had been GIL additions; 432
diminutions, of which seventy-two
were by death. The pastor had min
isterod at 22o funerals; 296 marriages
and had made 7,4S7 pastoral calls
and preached 976 sermons. including
those out of his own pulpit, He had
aided in twenty-nine revival meetings
in which 97S had Joined the churches
assisted. while many rad gone to
other churches. These meetings were
from three to sixteen days In length.
1t was further noted that the
church had given for the poor in it's
own territory s3.042. The missionary
offerings had been $s.799. and for
sunday School support $500 The
gifts to the regular objects OF church
work had been s57,443. In the mean
time s14.206 had been raised and
spent on building a part of new
plant which the church hopes to
finish in the future. When completed

equipped buildings for Sunday
School and church work in the state.
The pastor and people are happy, and
looking for even greater things in
the future.

of the American people submitting to
the court the question or whether or
not strong foreign power should be
allowed to seize territory In Central
or South America or Canada. The
Monroe Doctrine. like any other ma
tional policy. cannot be arbitrated. he
states.
Another classification of national
grievances includes ''the French
for Alsace and Lorraine,
the italian call to italy Unreieemed'
and the Polish vision of reunited
carbohydrates, claims the writer,
which could never be decided by any
international tribunal.
The writer believes that the forma-
ton Of such league or compact
would go far to eliminate political
dispute between the nations, thus
leaving only legal questions These
would be decided by the court of the
Joint government whose DEGREES and
decisions would be enforced by vir-
tue of the joint governmental powers
by the nations composing 1t. Just
such a way as our Supreme Court
proceeds.
Give Up Some OF Their Sovereignty.
Professor Minor believes that the
working of such nation of nations
have been partially swept aside by
the influence upon international opin-
ion as wrought by the present war,
whose horrors were, before the con-
fict began, beyond the scope of hui
man imagination. He believes that
the nations are about ready to give
up some OF their sovereignty and in
most of which. he says
has hitherto been somewhat Of a
shadow without a substance, some
what of n mental confusion between
an unbridaied license and true lib-
erty and independence"
He does not regard the theory as
such a radical departure as might at
first seem. Would 1t then after all
he such a radical break with past
illusions--if the nations
should reach an agreement whereby
each would surrender to the joint

UNUSUAL GYMNASTIC

Graceful dances, military and wand

feats entertained an enthusiastic au-
dience at the Y. w. c. A. gymnasium
Friday night. Miss Martha ]. Hyde
and Miss Ruth l.. Peet, the instruc-

the proceeds of which viii go toward

OF especial note was the White
Rose mazurka performed with mar
Vicious grace by Misses Lorena Mason,
Mary Craig, Vara Whitcel, Lura At

Mayo, Ann Fletcher, Lillian Harding
and Mary Huxter.
The children's dance was very well
done, and the races. high jumping,
acting on parallel bars, and drills
were equal to feats performed by
boys. One hund I'd girls in gymna-
SUM and fancy costumes took part in
the exhibition.

Charlottesville, Va, Jan. 20.--A ma

OF the world worrying problem of
permanent peace? Such a suggestion
forms the basis of the theory put
forth by Raleigh c. Minor. eminent

authority. In an extremely timely and
pertinent article on the Conditions

Aside from It's timeliness the article
is pregnant with searching thoughts
and suggestions pertaining to inter-
questions. II Is written with
the authors characteristic clearness
and logical analysis OF subject.
Professor Minor would have the
nations of the world establish a
league or compact similar to our own
United States, an international fed

bonding to our States, would create
