Adventists Declare Religion Bars Them
From Battles.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Day Adven-
lists have notified the war department
that their religion will not allow them
to participate in the war between the
United States and Germany.
The declaration adopted by the ex-
ecutive committee of the North Ameri-
can division conference sets forth that,
although believing in the principles
upon which this government is founded
and acknowledging that it should re-
ce1ve the support of its citizens, the
Adventists are compelled to decline
all participation in acts of war and
bloodshed as being inconsistent with
the duties enjoined upon us by our d.
vine Master toward our enemies and
toward all mankind"

SECRETARY REDFIELD.

fields communication to congress
shows that serious thought has been
given to the idea.
1t is also possible that with the great
weight in congress attached to the
magic word farmer" the members
will give the fish commission a new
building with more alacrity. The free
seed legislation always meets unani-
nous approval. Perhaps In some fu-
ture congress along with the packages
of turnip seed and corn there will be
sent out under congressional franks
letters something like this:
MY Esteemed Constituents am
sending you under separate cover a
choice collection Of fish eggs, including
the roe of the shad, the perch, the dace,
the club and the dogfsh. Plant these
In your fish ponds, where hope they
will grow to be large and luscious
fishes
Secretary Redfeld has been consist
'ent booster for the bureau Of fisheries
since he took office in the department of
commerce, and under his administra-
ton the country has received several
valuable suggestions as to the edibility
of fish little known hitherto. On the
subject of fish for farms he says to con-
gress:
Nothing has been done toward the
improvement of the races of fishes in
respect to size, vigor, rapidity of growth
and edible qualities. It is certain that
the culture Of fish in ponds on farms
will assume importance within the next
few years, and the farmer should have
at his command the best brood stock
obtainable and information in regard to
its handling and improvement at least
equal in reliability to that which he
can obtain respecting poultry"

Connecticut Man Would Corral Torpe-

Waterbury, Conn.-Fred Hemmings
has invented device to offset the dan
ger Of the torpedo in its attack from
the submarine or otherwise. The de-
vice is an electric arrangement of great
magnetic power attached to the side of
the ship, which will attract the torpedo
bring it to the side Of the ship attacked
and then lift it to the deck without ex-
ploding it.
Mr.. Hemmings believes it is destined
to revolutionize sea fighting and will
make vessels practically immune from
torpedo attacks. Lawrence Addicks
chairman Of the naval board, is now
considering its adoption for service
Theodore Roosevelt has congratulated
Mr.. Hemmings in a private letter.

by the combined efforts of both gov

Among the 800 members present
were many Of the most prominent men
In japanese public life. Viscount Ka-
neko, ex-minister Of justice, presided
and the principal speech was made by
Baron Goto, ex-minister Of communi-
cations.
Baron Goto said: There are few
questions Of such vital moment to the
welfare Of mankind az the relations of
Japan and the United States. The era
Of the Pacific promises to surpass that
Of the Mediterranean or the Atlantic.
All the forces Of the east and west
will meet. VIII they unite or clash?
I believe 1t lies in the power of the
United States and Japan to answer
that question, on which the future
happiness and progress of the world
will depend. For this reason the re-
lations between Japan and the Unit
ed States are Of supreme Importance.
With the awful responsibility that
they owe to mankind, will Japan and
the United States work hand in hand
or will they turn their backs on each
other7 I hope the two nations will
find principles on which to base abid-
ing relations of mutual trust and con-
fdence."
Other speakers were Prince Toku-
gawa, president Of the house of peers;
Count Okuma, ex-premier; Baron Shi-
busawa, chairman of the Tokyo Bank
