Daniel j. Callahan has reeigned az
chairman Of the District Of Columbia
war savings committee. His Resignation
is to become effective at midnight.
Mr.. Callahan. as chairman Of tho local
war savings committee, has directed the
movement in Washington since early in
December last year and during that
time has worked hard to raise the
amount of money from war stamp sales
designated by the Treasury as the DisA
trict's quota.
While the appointment Of MIR. Gala
hans successor has not been announced,
it is expected to come through George
J. Seay, governor of the Federal Reserve
Bank for the fifth district, who now has
charge of all war loan activities for this
territory.
Pressure of Business Duties.
Gov. Seay, when informed Of Mr.. CAL
lahan's intention to refinduish his du-
ties. urged upon him the retention OF
the post, but the pressure OF his many
duties, which he has been compelled to
neglect for the past year in favor OF
patriotic service, compelled him to Ge-
| cline.
'In stepping down from my Office
the District of Columbia" stated Mr..
Callahan today, my only regret is
that l must do 50 without the salts
faction of knowing that the District
Of Columbia's quota has been actually
achieved. However, while exact hg-
ures will not be available before
January 10, there is every reason to
believe that this city has again gone
over the top, just as it has in so masy
other instances in the appeals that
have been made to it during the year
in the cause of patriotism.
"I feel, however, that what success
we have achieved in our work is at
tributable to the whole-hearted CO.
operation on the part Of my asso-
ciates on the committee, and the bust
ness interests of the city, who have
been tireless in giving OF their time,
energy and brains.
The four newspapers Of Washing
ton have been particularly generous
to US in the way Of publicity, and be-
fore retiring to private life again 1
wish to voice my appreciation.
Savings Plan Success.
whether or not the District raises
its quota of $685. $40, maturity value,
or $6,153,S6S.66, actual value, there is
no doubt but that the war savings
plan has been complete success in
every way. 1t has taught the lesson
| Of thrift to those who never before
have saved and will have results that
will leave their permanent good ef-
fects."

What Interests America.

Il want to say very frankly to you
that she is not now interested in
European politics. but she is inter-
ested in the partnership of right be-
tween America and Europe. If the
future had nothing for US but a. new
attempt to keep the world at right
poiSe by a balance of power the
United States would take no interest,
because she will join no combination
of power which is not a combination
of all of US. She is not interested
merely in the peace of Europe, but in
the peace of the world.
Therefore it seems to me that in
the settlement which is just ahead of
cult than was ever attempted before
has to be accomplished-a genuine
concert of mind and of purpose. But
while it is difficult there is an element
present that makes it easy. Never
before in the history of the world.
believe, has there been such a keen
international consciousness as there
is now.
There is a great voice of humanity
abroad in the world just now which
lie who cannot hear is deaf. There is a
great compulSion Of the common con-
science now In existence which If any
statesman resist he will gain for him
the most unenviable eminence in
history. We are not obeying the
mandate of parties or Of politics. We
are obeying the mandate of
humanity
THAT is the reason why it seems to
me that the things that are more often
in our minds are the least significant
I am not hopeful. that the individual
items of the settlement which we are
about to attempt will altogether be sat

Common Devotion to Right.

Interest does not bind men to-
gether. Interest separates men. For
the moment there is the slightest de-
parture from the nice adjustment of
interests. then jealousies begin to
spring up. There is only one thing
that can bind peoples together and
that is common devotion to right.
Ever since the history of liberty
begun men have talked about their
rights and it has taken several hun
dred years to make them perceive
that the principal condition of right
is duty and that unless a man per-
forms his full duty he is entitled to
no right. 1t is fine correlation of
the influence of duty that right is the
equipoise and balance of society.
And SO when we analyze the pres
emit situation and the future that We
now have to mold and control. it
seems to me there is no other thought
than that that can guide us. You
know that the United States has al
ways felt from the very beginning of
her story that she must keep herself
separate from any kind of connection
with European politics.

perintendent Of Police Mills and

OF the explosions was so great that
occupants Of the houses were hurled
from their beds and scores Of win
dows in nearby houses were shat
tered, no one was seriously hurt. One
man was arrested.
1t was at first reported that one Of
the bombs had been set of at the
home of Judge James e. German of
the municipal court, but it later de-
veloped that it was at the Trigg resi-
dance, next door.

Must Provide the Machinery.

"One has only to apply his mind to
any one of the questions of boundary
and of altered sovereignty and of racial
aspirations to do something more than
conjecture that there is no man and
no body of men who know just how
they ought to be settled; and yet, If
we are to make unsatisfactory settle
mentS we must see to it that they are
rendered more and more satisfactory
by the subsequent adjustments which
are made possible. We must provide
the machinery for establishments in
order that we have the machinery of
good will and friendship
Friendship must have a machinery.
If I cannot correspond with you, if
cooperate with you, / cannot be your
friend; and if the world is to remain
body of friends it must have the
means of friendship, the means of
constant friendly intercourse, the
means for constant watchfulnesS over
the common interests. That makes it
necessary to make some great effort
to have with one another an easy and
constant method of conference. SO
that troubles may be taken when
they are little and not allowed to
grow until they are big. I never
thought I had big difference with
a man that did not find. when I came
into conference with him, that, after
all, it was rather a little difference,
and that if we were frank with one
another and did not too much stand
upon that great enemy of mankind
which is called pride we could come
together.
TT is the wish to come together
that is more than half of the process.
1t is doctrine which ought to be
easy of comprehension in a great
commercial center like this. You can
not trade with a man who suspects
you. You cannot establish CONNER
cial and industrial relations with
those who do not trust you. Good
will is the forerunner of trade. Good
will is the foundation of trade. and
trade is the great amicable instru-
ment of the world on that account.

At Home in Manchester.

Il felt, before I came here. at home
IN ncheSter-becauSe Manchester
has so many of the characteristics of
our great American cities. l was re-
minded of an anecdote OF a humorous
fellow countryman of mine. who was
sitting at luncheon in his club one
day. when a man whom he did not
like particularly came I'D and slapped
him on the shoulders and said:
Hello, Obey. how are your

delightfully."- familiar. SO that I felt
that in the community of interest and
understanding which is established in
great currents of trade, we are en-
abled to see international processes
perhaps better than they can be seen
by others. l take it 1 am not far
from right in supposing that that is
the reason why Manchester has been
the center of the great forward look
ing sentiments of men who had the
instincts of large planning not mere
ly for the city itself. but for the
kingdom and the empire and the
world. And with that outlook we can
be sure we can go shoulder and
shoulder together.
Il wish it were possible for US to
do something like some OF my very
stern ancestors did. for among my
ancestors are those very determined
persons who were known as the
covenanters. I wish we could. not
for Great Britain and the United
States. but for France, for Italy and

MANCHESTER, December 30-The
text of the Presidents address to the
Free Trade Hall audience is as follows:
"Mr. Lord Mayor, Ladies and Gentle
men-perhaps I may be permitted to
add fellow citizens You have made
me feel in a way that is deeply delight
full the generous welcome which you
have accorded me, and back OF IT
know there lies the same sort of feeling
for the great people whom have the
privilege of representing.
There is feeling of cofdiality, fra
ternity and friendship between the two
great nations, and as / have gone from
place to place and been made every
where to feel the pulse of sympathy
that is now beating between us l have
been led to some very serious thoughts
as to what the basis Of it all is. For
think you will agree with me that
friendship is not mere sentiment. Pa
triotisTn is not a mere sentiment. 1t Is
based upon a principle, upon the princi-
pie that leads a man to give more than
he demands. Similarly, friendship is
based not merely upon affection, but
upon common service. The man is not
your friend who is not willing to serve
yoa. and you are not his friend unless
you are willing to serve him. And
out of that impulse of common inter-
est and desire of common service
arises that noble feeling which We
consecrate as friendship.
And so it does seem to me that the
theme that we must have in our minds
now in this great day of settlement is
the theme of common interest and the
determination of what it is that is our
common interest. You know that here
tofore the world has been governed. or
at any rate the attempt has been made
to govern it, by partnerships of inter-
est and that they have broken down.

Mr.. Henry Fielding Dickens, the

respOnsible for an amusing story con-
cerning an eminent kings counsel who,
70 the course of a learned argument,
rested his case entirely on one reported
decision, which he claimed to be of
paramount Importance.
But when he had finished, his Oppo-
nent, being asked by the judge what
he had to say, replied:
Il will not trouble your lordship with
any further argument l only wish to
say that my friend has forgotten to
Inform your lOrdship that the case on
which he relies has been taken on ap-
peal to the house of lords and the de-
cision absolutely reversed"
