signed a manifesto melting to war which was circulated in religious cir cles toward the end of 1916 and the beginning of 1917, whereas TOO of the most eminent leaders of Christianity (bishops, professors, newspaper edi- tors, heads of the big religious and so- c1al organizations, and prominent lay mem took part in a sort of counter manifesto inclining toward peace. Not until more than four weeks after Will sons declaration of war did the Fed eral Council raise it's voice."
 Dr. Deissman alleges that wide spread Opposition not only to this par ticular war, but to war in general, ex- ists in America. He emphasizes the curious contradiction to be found in the fact that the manifesto, which ardently champions freedom of con-  science, approves of a war whose purpose it is forcibby and with blood shed to rob a nation of 70,000,00 peo- pie of political freedom of conscience and the independent and peaceable development of its own form of gov ernment. Will not the enlightened leaders of the Federal Council soon themselves see the absurdity of dis guising tyrannical and autocratic catchwords in democratic form?"
 Still he finds that the manifesto, taken as a whole, does not make an unfavorable impression. It shows that American churchmen have learned during the course of the war much which was hidden from European Christians at it's beginning, and which is still hidden from them in part. In conclusion he emphasizes the fact that although the declaration of the Fed eral Council contains "typically Anglo Saxon opinions which Germans must repudiate, it emanates after all from persons who show conciliatory ten dency, and that if Germans will read 1t without passion it will only serve to strengthen their own inner convic- tions."

is not called upon to sacrifice any military power. The Japanese press has silenced it's bellicose utterances against the United States. It is sud- denly discovered that Japan and the United States can be very good friends. Yet both sides know that there are political differences which must be settled sooner or later. The waning fortunes of the entente and the breakdown of Japans imperianstic and Wilson's democratic plans de- mand this strange cooperation as a last resource. It is a strange spec tacle that Japan now has to rely on help from the United States to enable her to carry out her new shipbuiIding program, which was originally directed against the United States. Japan has the necessary money, indeed, but has become dependent on the United States for iron and steel, since Great Britain has been totally winged. The Terauchi ministry has completely changed it's policy and made a pact with it's former opponents whereby America is to supply steel for the new ships, in return for which Japan un- dertakes to expedite shipbuiIding to replace tonnage lost in the course of the war

American Churches and the War Spirit

A recent number of the Berlin weekly, Deutsche Politik, contains an article by Professor Deissmann on "The War Manifesto of the American Churches" in which he comments upon the length of time it has taken the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America to issue state. ment concerning the war. In the De. riod immediately before the breaking off of diplomatic relations between the United States and Germany the vast majority of the churches, according to Dr. Deissmann, were far more eager for world peace than for having Amer lea entangled in the war.

GERMANY TRYING TO FOMENT
 TROUBLE

The Hamburger Nachrichten of September 28, writing with reference to the Japanese mission to Washing ton, says that with the fall of the Rus sian autocracy the agreements be- tween imperial Russia and Japan have become waste paper Instead of the colonization of East Siberia, with all its attendant advantages, it soon be-
 came clear that one of the first acts of revolutionary Russia was to give trouble to Japan in the East by mak- ing great concessions to. America in Sakhalin and Siberia, thereby making them the rivals of Japan. The great American capitalists find in Asia 8 more favorable sphere in which to ex. ert their influence than in Europe
 Only the gigantic war expenses Of France and Great Britain have turned the attention of these powers to the American money market, and the fu- ture will show on which side the po- 1itical advantage lies. In China it is different. The unorganized state of finance and the uncertainty of the cen
 tral government offer no guaranties to the creditor and can only bring ad
 vantages to him by bribery of the ruf. ing factors. Terauchis ministry owes its succses in China, as in imperial Russia, in the first place, to it's sys. tenn of bribery, In spite of its de- livery of munitions and it's improved trade during the war, Japan is still a poor country compared to the United States. American capitalism is well aware of this, and has weakened Ja- pans influence in China by Japans own methods, because it overbids Jaapn on all occasions, and at presen

ANNOUNCEMENT

: Reliable physicians believe that brok-
en-down nerve tissues need not a bracer
but builder like Phosphates and Iron.
To get these essential food tonies to the
nerves has long been the big question.
a successful physician says: "Phos-
phated Iron is an especially adapted dis
covery that has solved the problem of
giving Phosphates and Iron in such a
way that the nervous system can actual.
ly take hold of it.
Another, an equally important mission
of Phosphated Iron, is to build up ane-
mic tthfn, weak, watery) blood by charg-
ing it with good, health giving iron.
A leading doctor says; "Phosphated
Iron is the best iron tonic that | have
ever prescribed. Its results are remark
able.
Strengthening the nerves, building up
their starved tissues and recharging
weak, watery blood with the great health
restoratives, Iron and Phosphates, is the
mission Of Phosphated Iron. You who
are nervous, weak, an@mic lack Of iron
