Adventures of all European national
tiles engaged In the trade, and scores
of slave ships, veritable SHAMELESS,
piled regularly between Africa and
America. Two centuries ago, in 1713,
a company was formed which was to
have a monopoly of the slave trade
to Central n South America for
thirty years. King Philip ". of Spain
and Queen Anne of England each
held a quarter of the stock OF this
company.
In the meantime black slavery had
been introduced into the English coll
onies of America by a Dutch trader,
who. In 1919, sold twenty Africans to
the Virginia colonists. Virginia and
Maryland, and to a lesser extent the
other colonies. o o imported large
numbers of blacks. In 1858 the
Maryland legislature found it neces-
sary to nac a law against marriages
between white women and black
men.
Slavery was defended by nearly all
OF the political and religious leaders
of the colonies. Whitefield defended
the traffic as the best way to propa-
gate Christianity among the heather
Africans. Only subscriptions dema-
gogues," like Thomas Paine. opposed
slavery in the period before the Am
erican revolution. Soon after tho
birth of the republic, however. the
northern states began to turn against
the peculiar institution" and slavery
was abolished.
While England began the slave
trade, 1t was also the first to abolish
it. AS late as 1876 England had a
feet of $50 slave ships. and carried
off $1,000 Africans in that year. In
1857 the English Society for the Sup
preston of the Slave Trade was
founded and carried on its work so
effectively that in 1888 slavery was
abolished In all the British possess
sions. and 10000 slaves became free
men. In 1868 slavery WIS abolished
in the Dutch West Indies, as well as
IN the United States, and a decade
later the laves of Porto Rico were
freed. Brazil began the gradual abol-
ition of slavery IN 1871. A bill pro-
viding for the gradual emancipation
of the Cuban slaves was passed by
the Spanish parliament IN 1880. With
the freeing OF the Cuban slaves the
serfdom OF Africans In the New World
came to an end.

 How far some people will go to get facts to support their pet theoriesi Rev. Barton of Fayetteville claims the present war is the outcome of the teaching of Nietsche and Strauss.

Renans Life of Jesus is just as rad; cal work as Strauss book on the same topic. From the time of Taci- tus to the present, the Germans have been a warlike people. Their success ful opposition to the famous Roman legions, especially the defeat of Varus, proves they were warriors before pan theism and atheism became dominant in her thought. It IS absurd to claim that the atheism of Germany's schol- ars was what moved the fanatically religious, God intimate Kaiser to start the world war.
