HYPATIA
BY CHARLES KINGSLEY


and mind was surging most violently
the struggle and conflict which is the
keynote OF the book. Should the tradi-
tons of Jewry, the lure of Greek
philosophy. the charm of a pleasant
If tumultuous world, or the power Of
Christianity conquer in him? In his
apparently easy going way through
existence, he was measuring what
every phase of that seething cauldron
!, had to offer as solution for the
problems which human soul has to
ponder for its own salvation. 1t took
him long to decide, and it was only
by the ministrations of Augustine and
Synesius and the living example Of
Victoria that he finally found in Chris
tianity the truly democratic creed by
which the world could best live.
Struggle and strife Of soul or body
-Philammon's yearning to see more Of
the world than the monastery in the
! desert; his enthrallment by the charm
of Hypatia's beauty and her learning;
Cyril's struggles by militant means
toward a spiritual end! Orestes' to
win an empire; Pelagia's to win love,
Raphael to find the truth; the conflict
between old thought and new; and as
| the climax, the conflict and the end In
Hypatia's case:
Yes, on into the church itself! Into
! the cool, dim shadow, with it's fretted
pillars, and towering domes, and
candles, and incense and blazing altar,
and great pictures, looking from the
walls athwart the gorgeous gloom. And
right in front, above the altar, the
| colossal Christ watching unmoved
from off the wall, his right hand raised
to give a blessing-or a curse?

to the altar-right underneath the
great, still Christ; and there even
those hell-hounds paused.
| she shook herself free from her
| tormentors, and springing back, rose
| Tor one moment to her full height,
naked, snowwhite against the dusky
mass around, shame and indignation in
those wide, clear eyes, but not stain
Of fear. With one hand she clasped
her golden locks around her; the other
long, white arm was stretched upward
toward the great still Christ, appeal
! ing-and who dare say, in vain from
man to god. Her lips were opened to
speak; but the words that should
have come from them reached Gods
ears alone; for in an instant they
struck her down, the dark mass closed
over her again-and then wall on wall
ear-piercing, rang along the vaulted
roofs, and thrilled like the trumpet Of
avenging angels through Philammon's
ears"

Naming the War

What name shall we give in history to the war
from whose horrors we still suffer?
Some have called it the European War, some
the Great War, some the War Of 1914. Someone
has suggested the War of German Aggression.
That is an excellent proposal, because it covers
the ground so fully and puts the blame right
where it belongs.
But who, in ordinary writing or conversation,
is likely to take the time to use four words if he
find two that will answer?
An interesting feature of the important
meeting in the White House the other day. when
president and senator's discussed the meanings
of the peace treaty, was the use several times, of
common term. All hands referred to the con-
flict as the German War.
Can we improve upon that? The Germans
started it, and the chief result was the suppress
sion of Germany. The expression is short and
adequate. Why not call it the German War, and
let it go at that?

A MUNDSEN DRIFTS
THROUGH FREEZING
WATERS TO POLE
(By Associated Press)

SEATTLE, Aug. 25.-Bound for the
ian discoverer of the South Pole. is at
present drifting in his ice locked
schooner the Maud, somewhere north
Of western Siberia, according to be-
liefs held by the Seattle Norwegian
vice-consulate and vilhjalmuh Stefan
sson. Canadian Arctic explorer.
In planning the trip. the explorer
said he expected, after reaching the
pole. to return either to Grant Land,
west of Greenland, or Melville Island,
which lies in the Arctic Ocean north
Of Canada. Should he reach Melville
Island he probably would journey by
sea to Nome. Alaska or overland to-
Dawson, Yukon Territory.
Two airplanes it is believed, formed
part of the Maud's equipment when
she left Norway last fall and sailed
through the White Sea bound for the
icy north. The final dash to the pole
may be made in one Of the planes.
Amundsen, it is believed, may also fly
ra"'- - civilization in one Of the
machines.
Nuehing has been heard from
Amundsen since September 1, 1918.
nearly one year ago. At that time the
Maud was reported taking oil for her
motors at Dixson Island, White Sea
point. After taking the oil she sailed
| northeast into the rapidly freezing
waters of the Arctic Ocean.
Would Sail Across Pole.
At the New Siberian Islands, It
was believed, the drift ould carry the
boat toward, if not across, the pole.
and Amundsen intended to use the
airplanes II he found the drift would
not carry him across the top Of the
earth"
Amundsen in a degree, followed the
| footsteps of his countryman, Fridtjof
Nensen, in 1886. hansen in the
Fran started on a drift across the
pole but left his boat and tried unsuc-
| cessfully to reach the goal on foot.
Later the Fran drifted as close to the
pole as Nensen got.
The Maud carries wireless sending
apparatus but no receiving instru-
ments. Amundsen said he would not
install the receiving apparatus be-
cause he did not want to be worried
by news from the outside world.
The Norwegian government this
summer arranged to establish several
food depots on Grant Land, from Cape
Columbus to Robinson Channel, for
the use Of Amundsen in case he comes
out by his eastern route.

"Compel' is a Hard Word

Samuel Gompers, quoted in United Press
dispatch from Paris in an interview on the rail-
road situation, surprises us with hard word.
Mr. Gompers has grown greatly in public esteem
on account of his form and patriotic stand for
Justice and fair play during the war. All the
more reason for establishment when he says:
american railway workers intend not only
to COMPEL the government to take over the
railways but will demand, as the next logical
step, that labor shall be granted a permanent
equal voice in railway administration"
Now, we all know that the railroads will never
again be handled in exactly the same way as they
were before the war. We know that they must
and will be run to give the greatest good to the
greatest number. We do not know yet what plan
or system of management will prove most work
able.
Most of us feel that the interests of hundred
million people are of greater Importance than the
interests of either railroad owners or workers.
For either of these two groups to endeavor to
secure some permanent advantage at the cost o.
permanent disadvantage to the body Of the ma
ton would be wrong and unfair.
One thing seems certain: railroad operation
in future will never yield large profits. Indeed,
it appears that it will require desperate struggle
to make ends meet. A loose system of operation
would mean rising costs, with resulting deficits
to be met either by increasing freight rates and
passenger fares, or by heavy taxation. Govern
ment ownership and operation, if bedeviled by
political meddling and muddling, would likely
prove expensive and disappointing.
Mr.. Gompers, Mr.. Stone, Mr.. Garretson, and
all the men under them are perfectly free to use
all their powers of persuasion and enlightenment
in seeking to show the rest of the merits of
their plan. The rest of us ought to consider their
proposal fairly and with open minds.
But, gentlemen, please do not say that you
are going to compel congress to do your bidding.
Teach us first so that we may tell our congress-
men what we wish them to do.

Jenkins lived in fiat and the man

He was surprised and a little flat
tered when Jenkins came down to bor-
row the instrument. He lent 1t
willingly and told Jenkins he could
have it any time he wanted it.
. Jenkins took full advantage Of the
offer. He was always borrowing that
trombone.
What do you borrow it for?" asked
Jenkins wife. You can't play it,

"Nor can that fellow down stairs

A Montana private who was among
the wounded soldiers arriving in New
York the other day exhibited a Bible
that had been given him by the w. c.

saved the soldiers life. The private
said that the funny thing was he
hadn't believed in any church, but
when he was asked If he believed in
God, he answered fervently: ooh, hell
yes" The Bible will be his most
priced possession all his life, although
the German bullet has spoiled it for

Former Troubles.

Nearly everybody in Knoxville,
Tenn, especially railroad people,
know Captain F. S. Petty, for twelve
years district passenger agent for the
Northern Pacific railroad, with local
offices in Chattanooga, and general
offices in ST. Paul, MINI.
On account Of generally failing
health Capt. Petty was forced to dis
continue active work and for the past
few years has been making his home
in Knoxville. where he numbers his
friends by his acquaintances. He is
a kind, genial gentleman of the old
school, and is beloved by all who
know him. The following interesting
statement was made by him in person
to the Tanlac representative:
