Contemplate the love of Christ and

ror, reflect Christ's character, and you
will be changed into the same image
from tenderness to tenderness. There
is no other way. You can only look at
the lovely object and fall in love with
1t and grow into likeness to it. And
so look at this perfect character, this
perfect life. Look Mt the great sacri-
fee, as he laid down himself. all
through life, and upon the cross of
Calvary; and you must love him. And,
loving him, you must become like him.

Pres. Wilson
Firm Against
WarPrOpOsdl

Washington, April 24.-Defi-
mite opposition To a deciara-
tiOn OF war on Bulgaria and
Turkey at this time was indi-
Gated by President Wilson to-
day at conference with Sem
atOr King of Utah, who re-
Gently introduced IA resolution
calling for war with both cOun-
tries.
Senator King sought Pres
ident Wilson's views as a re-
sE,t of debate i'm the senate
yesterday on resolution by
Senator Brandege.
Senator King announced after
the conference that he would not
press his resolution at this time.
The Brandege resolution was laid
aside yesterday after the debate
Several senators announced they
were willing to vote for war
declaration.
Senator King declined to discuss
the presidents views but from
other senators it was learned that
the president was ready to present
his information TO the senate with
his reasons for opposing the pro-
posed action.
There is reason to hope, it was
said, that both Turkey and Bull
garia may yet drop out as belliger-
ents and that they would be glad of
an opportunity to break away from
the central powers.
In view of the considerations SEN
ators were advised that the pres
ident believes the technical advan-
tage of formal declarations of war
would not outweigh the advantages
which may later possibly accrue to
the allies.
So earnest was the president re-
ported in his opposition to decla-
rations of war that he was said to
be ready to give his reasons by per-
sonal appearance before the senate
in executive session.

DRIVE ON AkfIEkS RESUMED BY GERMANS
Dutch-German
Breach Is Still
Believed Near

London. April Relations be-
tween Germany and Holland are
still discussed in special press
dispatches from Holland with the
suggestion that the situation is SER
Leus, but no one is able to give
authentic details of the alleged Ger
man demands.
The sand and gravel question
takes a permanent place in all
the reports but some of the cores
ponCents write of several others.
The Times at The Hague mentions
among other things the reported
demand that Holland shall guaran-
tee to Germans supplies of raw
materials Immediately after the
war, while a certain quantity OF
Dutch tonnage is demanded for the
same period.
1t is further suggested, the
Times adds, that the Germans ex-
pect to be able to force Holland TO
accept such conditions as would
virtually compel the entente allies
to formally occupy the Dutch col
onies which would throw Holland
completely into German hands
There are no special indications of
nervousness noticeable in The
Hague and the correspondents of
the Times say that reports such as
the foregoing emanate solely from
German sources.

BRITISH PAPERS
LAUD HEROES OF
DARING SEA RAID

London, April 24-Articles by
naval writer's and editorials in the
morning newspapers eulogize with
natural pride the volunteers who
carried out the raid against Zee
brugge and Ostend. Lieutenant
Hobson's feat at Santiago and Ad-
miraI Togo's exploit at Port Arthur
are recalled as notable precedents,
but the landing on the beach at
GaIlipoli is regarded by some writ
ers as the only real parallel.
Curiosity is expressed as to the
fate of the crews of the two old
submarines which were assigned to
blow up the piling at the approach
Ia the mole at Zeebrugge. Their
duty appeals to the imagination OF
the writer's, for it is assumed they
voluntarily accepted almost GER
tain death and that only by some
thing akin to a miracle could those
who remained aboard to explode
the charges have survived.
Stories of survivors who have ar
rived at Dover flushed with belief
in the full success of the eXped1-
tion are not corrOborated in every
detail by the official account. The
reported destruction of the lock
gates and the consequent draining
Of the Bruges canal lack cOnfirma-
ton. If substantiated this presum-
ably would be the greatest achieve
ment of the raiding squadron.
Estimates of the time the Ger
mans will need TO review the OBJ
structions from the channel and re-
pair the damaged mole. vary Some
assume that many days Will inter
vent, others many weeks, while
still others sem to show that the
damage cannot be repaired for a
very long time.
Some of the newspapers say that
the officer referred to by Sir Eric
Geddes. the first lord of admiralty
as having developed the following
and smoke screen for the British
raiders on the Belgian coast sub
marine bases and as having been
killed in the attack. was Acting
Wing Commander Frank A. Brock.
He was the son of widely known
fire works manufacturer.
Young Brock entered the naval
air service in January, 1916 as a
flight lieutenant. became flight
commander in 1916, and received
the order of the British Empire
this year.
