this amount in excess of our actual loss China found that no other gov ernment had ever done such a thing her her and that China had never treated any other nation in such man. ner in all her history, she therefore set aside this money and has since been using the interest from this fund to send her splendid young men to this country for higher education in American ideals and culture. This one concrete act of unselfshness and fairness certainly stands as a great protection against war between this country and China. We hear talk in these days about war with Japan. And we will probably come to that if we keep up our selfish, unfair discrimi- nation on the Pacific coast. Tn almost every nation today which is affected by this war there are groups of men who are giving their attention ex- clusiveIy to questions, not of the war at all, but of trade and commerce and other international interests after the war. These men are doing this at the direction of their governme For the same good reason, why should not men be studying and preparing a program of international friendship and good will to put into operation af- ter the war? The world is too closely related to allow any one nation to build a wall around itself and try to remain a.loof. Cities in ages gone by could wall themselves in and be safe. That cannot be done today either by stone or by steel. No army or navy, however strong, is an assurance against invasion. There is only one certain protection. and that is inter- national friendship which is supported by an international force against which no individual nation will dare rise.
 This friendship is nothing more nor less than the love which Jesus preached projected into all the world and into all world relations, and this, if rightly understood and thoroughly practiced, will solve the worlds diff ferences. The trouble has been that this power has never been tried upon a large scale. It has been tried with success by individuals and by small groups, but has been put aside by nations and in international consid- erations. Today we have come to realize that other policy must be used if we are to secure ourselves against such world calamities, and it is grat- flying fact to find that some of the very first statesmen of the world are looking to the principles of the Chris tian religion for the basis of such security. We are convinced that they will not be disappointed. Love worketh no i'll to his neighbor" said the apostle. therefore love is the full filling of the law This power, we believe. never has failed and never can when given a full and final test

Made the Horse Jump.
Brooklyn Eagle. )

"Merry-Go-R Round" is the Anaeri- can term for what is known in Eng land and on the continent of Europe as a "carrousel." For the merry-go- round Coney Island has, of course offered the most profitable field in America. The death of the man who first invented the jumping horse flea ture. and who at one time owned most of the merry-g rounds on the island, stirs some reflections.
 The "carrousel' was a mock OF mimic form of the old tourney oi knights. It came in under Henry of Navarro in France, though Italy had had it earlier. The best horsemen in the lonk took partin it. With lances, riding at full speed, they pierced tho paper head of a Moor or Turk. or later fired pistols at such a head. Rememberin this it is easy to see how the hobby-horse leaping as he goes round the wheel, must have done something to increase the jus tif1cation for the older name of the whole device.
 We cannot deny the credit Of do- ing something for humanity to any man who makes .. new game popular or who adds to the popularity of an old one The play of children is not a trivial matter in the view of a phi losopher. Even the play of adults has 9, value and an importance of it's own.
 Gottfried Bungarz was born in Germany, but he had lived half century in Coney Islan. He WAS S7 when he died. His Jumping horsd lives after him. It has been and it delighting millions. Wherever tho merry -go-round is moving, and tho music is playing, and the ripple of grown-up chatter and child laughter fills the air. A more lasting memorial has been denied by fate to many greater men.

High school is again filled with
young people, as the individual
classes assemble to enroll Yester-
day was freshmen day to register,
and out of the 21I who graduated
from the grade schools last June,
l75 enrolled. Fifty of the students
who are employed during the day
registered last night.
Today the sOphOmores registered,
and although there is not as large
d class as started in last year, they
made very fine showing.
The new system Of enrolling. in
stalled by Principal Lau, is prov
ing its superiority to that used in
former years. Mr.. Lau personally
talks to each one enrolling and as
signs them TO each Of their classes.
Aside from the fact shat this is a
time saving system it is very bene-
fetal 10 the pupils TO be able to
talk their work over with the prin-
Cipal before they sign up for their
classes. 1t has always been the
practice for freshmen to sign up
for more studies than they could
handle successfully. Each one OF
them this year has no more nor
less than he can do with the proper
amount Of study.
