week later than this letter, the new
man power bill was presented, and under it
the clergy were made liable to the draft. A
prompt protest went up, but it was not a
protest from the clergy-the English clergy.
at least. A member Of the House of Com
mons declared Historically that the gov
ernment's action had caused "a great revolt
of the clergy behind the scenes" but the
indignant response which his statement
drew from every point of the clerical COM
pass soon established its falsity. Indeed,
the declaration of the Archbishop of Can
terbury in the House of Lords, that "the
great body of clergy welcomed the proposal
that they were to be brought in with the

Bishops Decide
1t was not an easy thing to do, but it was
the general public and not few narrow
gauge preachers who made it difficult The
government did not withdraw its radical
measure because the clergy objected, but
because the congregations objected. "Tho
addition to man power so slight" ex-
planned Sir George Cave, 'that it was not
worth while to run counter to the feelings
of the country" We are wondering if those
feelings will be changed by the fact of the
bishops making the matter their own deci-
sion and thus removing the impression of
coercion of Church by the State; or does
the sentiment run deeper?
For, putting cannon aside, just what is

1t is right, he states, that the clergy should
march to the front with all the rest. but the
congregations must "be prepared to foreeo
for time some of their privileges and to
be deprived of the luxury, not always ap-
preciated of church services within an easy
walk of their homes" 1t is cynical in
ference and undoubtedly has at least partial
application.

HUN CHANCELLOR
L|pERTY'S ENEMY
LETTERS REVEAL

Washington, Oct. 12.-The idea so
carefully fostered by the German
semi-official press bureau that the
appointment of Prince Maximiiian of
Baden as chancellor was a long step
toward the characterization of Ger
many is completely dissipated by doc
uments written by the prince. copies
of which have just reached Washing
ton. One is the text of speech the
prince delivered last December in the
Baden First Chamber, of which he
was president, and the other is a
letter written last January 10 his
cousin, Prince Hohenlohe.
These papers show the prince in
his true character and are accepted
here as well as justifying President
Wilson's inquiry as to whether in
seeking peace he speaks for those in
Germany who have conducted the war
up to this time. They disclose the
prince as holding in cynical contempt
the proponents of democratic gov
ernment for the Central Powers.
The letter was called forth by the /
speech, which in some quarters was
criticised because of the unnatural |
combination of lofty Christian doc
trine with brutal German militarism. !
The speech drew telegram of con-
demnation from the Kaiser, the
prince wrote his cousin, and the
Junkers caused thousands of copies
of it to be printed for general dis |,
tribution over the empire.
, In the letter to his cousin, Prince
Maximilian disclosed his true feel
ings when he said:
"As / am opposed to western par
liamentarism for Germany and Ba-
den, / was obliged to say to the peo-
pie of Baden, or rather of Germany,
that / understood its merit, but that
such institutions were not real RENE
dies for them"
