THE NEW WORLD

The world which W. must seek is a
world in which the cree tive spirit is
alive. in which lie is an adventure full
of JOY and hope, based rather upon
the impulse to construct that upon
the desire to retain what we possess
or to sieze what is possessed by Others
1t must be world in which affection
has free play, in which love is purged
of the instinct for domination. in
which cruelty and envy have been
dispelled by happiness and the UNI
fettered development of all the in
stincts that build up life and fill it
with mental delights. Such world
is possible it watts only for men to
create it.
Meantime, the world in which we
exist has other aims. But it will pass
away, burned up in the fire of its own
hot passions; and from its ashes will
spring a new and younger world, full
of fresh hope, with the light of morn
ing in its eyes.-Bertrand Russell

TREATING THE SYMPTOMS

In dealing with radicalism, our pub
lie officials from the national admin
istration down to governors and may
ors are giving their attention to sup
preston of symptoms rather than tc
the removal of the causes. So long
as these methods are followed, to the
exclusion of real cure, we may X
pect plenty of SYMPTOMS. During the
war we heard ii great deal about {
new day in industry The war is over
and laboring people find that they are
living in the same old world. Their
relation to industry is exactly the
same as before, and even though
their wages have been increased in
dollars they find it increasingly diff
cult to make both ends meet on &C
count of the high cost of necessities
On the other hand, they see how
great profiteers made millions and
billions out of the war. This is the
cause of the wave of radicalism that
is sweeping the country 1t can not
be stopped by suppressing free
speech, curtailing the freedom of
the press or throwing men into Jail
Nothing will stop it but democracy in
industry and a fairer division of the
products of labor-Nebraska Union

in the Minnesota law for such 'pre-

Another Way Out

WILSON'S MESSAGE
IS NOT CONSISTENT
Gcnclaslitics and Contrasiictory Point,
Mari, Advice L" New Congress

Washingt on. ID. Probably the
most inconsistent message ever de.
livered to congress is fair characters
lzatiOn of the presidents advice tC
the session which began on Decemhe,
Some of the politicians allege that
II was composed by members of the
cabinet rather than by the president
and the inconsistency may reflect the
differing views of cabinet members.
1t is also marked by generalities
which can be interpreted i'm MANY
ways and by few specific recommen-
dat;ens.
at firs. congress is told that unrest
Is superficial matter to be remedied
by passing the peace treaty, doing
something to abate proiiteering and
shutting up radicals. Then there is a
magnificent passage which goes to the
very root of the matter and showing
that fundamental changes are need.
ed
Urges Palmer bill
,ie svesst discussion of our prob
lens is advised. and on the other hand
congress IS urged to pass the vicious
Palmer substitute for the espionage
bill which would close the mouths of
S.o-i, a
radical opinion.
Freer trade is urged to bring about
better international conditions and al
the same time new protection plans
for several lines of trade
Labor's right to strike is upheld
and also the plan OF denying tils
workers The right to strike through
court njunctions.
The president refuses to say any
thing about the railroad :ssue OF the
Mexican situation.
Recommendations Made
Among the things recommended by
the message are:
The budget system of government
bookkeeping.
Changes in income and excess pro-
fit taxation evidently looking toward
reduction
Tariff changes to conform to. the
fact that the United States is the
greatest capitalist i'm the world
The Lane plan for putting soldiers
on the land and the providing of en-
ployment service for the returned
men
Better regulation of cold storage.
More democracy in industry.
Passing of peace treaty
In view of the fact that the Repub-
Leans control congress the presiden s
message will probably have little eff
feet. The Republicans in the senate
threaten to lay the peace treaty on the
table and take up domestic issues I'M
less the president offers some basis
for compromise. He has not as Vet
receded from his position to take it
or leave" which he declared for from

Nation S Jews Discuss
Plans for Development
OF Palestine Lands

Chicago, Aug. 30.-(Special.)-
The peace commissioners still sit
ting in Paris have the Jewish appeals
for universal civil liberty before
them, and they have also the name of
the republic which is to be formed
with Jerusalem as its capital city.
American Jews meet in Chicago in
two weeks, in part to push Jewish
plans for liberty everywhere, and in
part to formulate conditions on
which American Jews will support
projects in Palestins. This name
Palestine does not suit Jews.
Neither does Holy Land. Some
favor the republic of Judea, but
others oppose it because too re-
ligious. Above all, Jews are
anxious to avoid even the appear
ances of trying to set up state
founded on religion.
1t is now said that the name most
generally favored, and to be laid
before the Paris commission, is the
republic of Eretz Yisroel, which
means Land OF Israel. 1t is said
that this name will be given in the
legal papers Incorporating the uni
versity of Jerusalem, which is to be
the seat of the cultural part of the
new republic, and the cornerstone
of which has already been laid on
Mount Scopas, the lesser of the two
heights of the Mount of Olives.

100000 TRAINED
GERMAN TROOPS
TO AID RUSSIA
Alliance With Japan and Russ
in Near Future Freely
Talked of by Teu-
tonic Officers.

Paris, Aug. 30.-A modernly
>auipped German army of 10000
men has assembled in Luthuania and
is preparing to march into Russia
under the pretense of endeavoring
to reach and help Admiral Kolshak,
according TO Lithuanian sources
here.
Word to the effect was brought to
Paris by Chief Engineer Steibiko of
the Lithuanian railway system, who
declared the Germans talked freely
Of a coming understanding between
Germany, Russia and Japan.
Ignore Orders of Foch.
In describing the situation to the
correspondent, NJ. Steibiko said that
the large German forces which had
reoccupied Lithuanian territory, from
which they have been several times
ordered away by both the Lithuan-
ian government and Marshal Foch,
were entrenching themselves and
preparing for a march through Rus
STA. They call themselves "kolchak-
lists"
The Germans have partly evacuat-
cd the region. but since August !,
according to NJ. Stcibiko, they have
been concentrating troops anew in
western Lithuania with their base at
Shawl, where they also have estab-
Iished a general staff. Their line of
occupation from north to south is
Nilkovishki to the mouth of the
Dubissa river: thence to Radvllshkls
and on to Janishkis.
Goltz is Virtual Leader.
They are under the ostensible
leadership of the Russian general,
Bergman. but their real comman-
der. NJ. Stcibiko declares. IS the Ger
man General Won der Goltz. They
control the railway lines in all the
occupied territory. They number
$4,000 Germans and 5000 Russians,
all wearing German uniforms.
The Germans serving in this army
call themselves volunteers, accord
ing to the engineer and claim alleg
lance to the all-Russian government,
thus pretending to be exempt from
orders issued by Marshal Foch or
the inter-allied council.
Prisoners Sent Into Army.
Numerous Russian prisoners, he
declared, were being sent from Ger
many to join the army at Shawl,
while in the way of equipment for
the army. the Germans had brought
$50 airplanes, 100 automobiles and
one armored train into the territory.
Although the Lithuania govern
men. at kovno had sent many notes
TO the Germans demanding their
Withdrawal and the allied officials
had ordered them out, they had paid
no attention to the demand. NJ, Stei-

Explorers Are Off
For the Far North in
Search of Rich Gold

Nome, Alaska, Aug. 50.-Twenty-
nine weather bronzed explorers hail
ing from every quarter of the globe
and bound for some mysterious gold
country of northern Siberia, left
here tonight aboard the sailing
schooner Casco, once the property
of Robert Louis Stevenson.
Fears were expressed by Nome
residents before the boat left that it
would not be able to get through
into the Arctic ocean, as reports re-
ceived here recently said the Boring
Straits were still blocked with ice.
Members of the ships company
said they were bound for some point
in vast uninhabited territory lying
along the Arctic shore of Siberia
between East Cape and the Lena
river. They would not divulge the
exact location of their destination.
The party is known as the North
ern Mining and Trading company
and is led by S. L. McGirk, a min
ing engineer of Hamilton, Tex,
president of the company. A. L.
Johnson, another of the party, is
vice-president. Capt. c. L. Oliver
is master of the adventure ship.
With the exception of the destina-
ton there is little mystery about
the expedition. McGirk said while
here. He asserted that tn. party
possess certain knowledge about the
country for which they are ,ading
and are aiming to explore the sec
ton and find what it contains. No
rich gold strikes are expected, he
declared.
The Casco may be selt back from
the north this fall. after landing her
passengers at their destination.

Detroit, Mich, Aug. 30.-(Spe.
cial.) IA handbook on THE Church
and Reconstruction" issued by the
Detroit committee on preparedness.
for the general convention of the
Episcopal church. which meets in
this city October 8 to q, contains
some ringing deliverances for indus
trial democracy in the new world
order and for reunion of the divided
bodies of Christ as the only hope
of a Christian world civilization in
the future. Here are two striking
quotations from the handbook:
1T is not that Christianity has
been tried and found wanting, but
that it has been found difficult and
not tried"
The democracy of tomorrow is
not so much a matter of social and
political arrangement as it is a mat
ter of ways Of thinking, of ideas OF
life's values and of the rights OF
others. 1t calls for new motives i'll
living, new standards of conduct and
new ethics. In a word, the changes
that must come in reconstruction
are changes in the wills, ideals and
motives of men and women"
Has Progressive Views.
The bishop of the diocese Of De
troit, the Ri. Rev. Charles D. Will
liams, is nationally known for his
progressive views on the all-absorb-
ing problem of capital and labor
As a member of the commission on
social service of the general con-
vention, Bishop Williams himself
makes a special appeal in the hand
book to Christians to show forth
the spirit of the founder of their
faith. Says the bishop:
I'VE can by thoughtlessness and
neglect, by spiritual and mental lazi-
ness and timidity simply let an old
and intolerable world dissolve into
anarchy, or we can help create a
new world wherein shall dwell d
larger righteousness. The choice is
between some form of bolshevism
and some nearer approximation to
a Kingdom of God, a celestial civil.
lization, a heavenly order in this
present world. To all thoughtful
minds certain things have grown
clear in the lurid light of this SUI.
preme tragedy.
81. Admitting to the full that the
insane ambition of the old imperi-
alistic Germany, her mad militarism
her tyrannous autocracy, her inordi-
nate and arrogant racial egotism
her utterly ruthless and heather
philosophy and ethics of the state
admitting fully that these were the
immediate occasion of the world
war, yet we realize that its funda-
mental causes lie deeper, out OF
ordinary sight. This war roots fin
ally in international commercial
competition, in the ambition of in
dividual nations to dominate the
worlds markets and trade and as a
means thereto, the greed of terri
tory, especially the desire for pos
session and colonies in the unde-
ve1oped regions of the earth, in
order to create new markets for
national trade and exploit the ma
tional resources and the peoples OF
those regions.
50. The same commercial greed
the same desire to exploit for priv
ate profit by meals of special priv
leges and possession, both men and
resources, is the root cause in every

more destructive of life and wealth
