HA0LEY ASKS GERMAN"
SElF-SACRlFlCE HERE

NEW HAVEN, Conn. June IT,
President Arthur T. Hadley. Of Yale
University. urged Americans to imi.
tate the Germans spirit OF selt.sacri.
hce in his baccalaureate sermon to the
graduating class here today. He said,
in part:
The life OF the community de.
mands the sacrifice OF the individual
life. A selfish nation is to all in.
tents and purposes a dead nation.
THE nation against which we have
been forced to take up arms has set
a mighty example OF what can be
done where the people subordinate
their own individual interests to that
OF the body polite. We may criticize
the motives and the ideals by which
the members of that nation are
moved. Some are influenced by fear
fan almost despotic authority above
them; others, by a desire to eaalt
their own nation at the expense OF all
other nations in the world.
IF we are to render real service
in the cause of humanism against
Germanism. we must see to It first
OF all that our zeal for humanit,
makes us forget ourselves as fully
as zeal for Germany has made thu
individual German forget himself il
behalf Of the cause for which hi
is engaged"

PROSPECTS FOR
UNION NOT GOOD
PRESBYTERIAN GENERAL ASSEMBLY
Is CONVENED IN ANNUAL SEES
SION At DALLAS TODAY.

DALLAS, Tex. May 10. - When the
Presbyterian general assembly convened IN
annual session heretoday. prospects for a
reunion of the northern and southern
branches, officially known a. the Pres
byterian church m the United States of
America and the Presbyterian Church Of
the United State, respectively, were re
garded a. uncertain.
Those openly favoring the amalyamation,
however. said that not stree the two
branches come to the part' of the ways
ir 1861 had indications for a reunion been
- bright a. at the present meeting.
The northern branch of the church j.
numerically the stronger. having on it,
membership rolls approximately 1900. 900
persons. The southern branch has a mem
bor>hip Of 100000.
The northern branch has members in
every state in the union while the south
.crn branch j. confined To churches south
of Mason and Dxon'S line.
The entire membership of both branches
was known a "The Presbyterian Church
in the United States of America" until the
civil war, when sectional differences
brought about the organization of the
southern branch.
tn j. the first time the general as
scmbly has been held in the -uuthwc~; ard
the northern branch. u " auth Z 'ativcly
stated, not only fJyor5 4 r yninn at ih..
time. hut will make ovcrt-r,- to lr.r- tli
about.
DR.. John 4. Marquis Of Cedar Rapids,
Ia. present moderator. il was said today.
will not be 4 candidate for reelection.
While no one else has formally announced
"a candidacy for the place. prominent men
in both branches of the church say that
DIR. Robert Johnson, Montreal. Canada.
probably will be nominated. He was an
unsuccessful candidate for moderator At
the assembly in Atlantic City last year
and j. a delegate 10 the present gathering
DIR. Andrew G. Ieno~, Chicago, also has
been mentioned a. = probable candidate.

MEXICO MAY Be
DRAWN INTO WAR
PRESIDENT CARRAMzA lNTIMATES IN
AN ADDRESS COUNTRY MAY NOT
BE ABLE TO BE NEUTRAL.
tby associated Press,)


MEXICO CITY, May 19.-Grcat inter-
est has been aroused here by President
Carranza's remarks ut a banquet Wcdnes-
day in honor of General Obregon, recent
" assigned a minister of war. Presi-
dent C%arranza declared there were no
good -byes to General Oregon because
none had thought at the present time to
retire TO private life a the republic twas
not yet saved"
The existence of a neutral nation was
complicated, and it might be that against
its will Mexico would be drawn into the
world conflict, in which case General Oh
regions services would be invaluable and
indispensable.
This j. the first indication that has
been given publicly that Mexico might not
be able to maintain strict neutrality and
might be drawn into the war.
The banquet to General Obregon was
also notable for the assembling in amitv
of various partisans, both in and out Of
congress, which is taken as indicating .
better understanding between the exccu-
tive and the congress.
