AID SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH.

Curlously enough, England, whom
we have never accused of approaching
AMI sustaining scientific work more
than we do, has better learned the les
son of the war In this regard than we
have. Perhaps she needed more to
learn IT, At any rate, England, seeing
that Germany was able to make the
formidable war effort she did make
largely because of her aid from science,
aud seeing that the final overcoming
OF this effort by the allies and Amer
lea was also largely due to successful
appeal to science. has already taken
steps to keep science promptly avail
able to her in all future time by ma
terial encouragement of scientific re-
search, writes Vernon Kellogg in Re
view. She has established depart
ment OF scientific and industrial re-
search, with a beginning fund of So
100000 TO enable it TO stimulate and
support scientific investigation for the
benefit of the empire. In addition, the
doninions, notably Canada and Aus
tralia, have independently appropri-
ated funds for similar work on prob
lens peculiar to their own conditions.
Japan has also established national
laboratory for scientific and industrial
research with fund of S2.50o.000 for
use during the next ten years. Italy,
despite, or perhaps because of, po'
lltical and social difficulties, is also
establishing a national research coun-
ell.

TUESDAY. NOVEMBER II, 1919.
ARMlsTIcE DAY

A year ago this morning the world
was awakened by the thrilling news
that German ENJOYS had signed the
armistice offered by Gen. Foch and
the great war was ended.
Joy reigned all over the earth and it
seemed as though new era had
dawned in the worlds history. Per-
haps it had humanity is yet too blind
to see and realize the truth. For the
end of the war has not brought peace,
and strife and envy, ambition, greed,
jealousy and hatred remain to be
conquered
These evils which dominate so
many human hearts can be brought
into subsection but 1t is largely an in.
dividual process. Each person living
sees his own troubles magnified until
they become terrible to his own short
range vision and he refuses to see and
understand that others have equal or
greater burdens to bear.
The way out is to be willing to live
by the rule of doing right by others
even as we would have them do right
by us. The man or woman who is al
ways just and fair with others usual
ly finds that he gets from the world
and from society about the same
treatment that he or she gives to
those within the area of contact.
When the individuals who form socie.
ty are ready to do this it will be easy
for the public sentiment thus created
to overcome the cases who will not
conform of their own volition
The lesson of Armistice Day is that
we should lay aside the weapons of
warfare and civil and community
strife and try to arrive at some basis
of lasting peace. To seek diligently
earnestly and fairly almost always
means finding the thing that is
sought. There is no treasure buried
so deep that it may not be recovered.
Twelve months ago the nations at
war signed the armistice to end the
conflict. Today is the day for every
individual and group to sign the arm.
istice that will end discord and bring
peace and happiness to warning
world.

and may provide an adeqate outlet for
the new energies which during the
war were disclosed in their lives.
2. That the enlarged plans of the
Religious Work Department of the
Association Movement, and the fixed
purposeof Association leaders to main
tain this as the central and most vi
tai object of the Associations, may
have complete right of way
3. That the coming International
Convention at Detroit (Nov. 1929
may be dominated by the Spirit of the
living God, and. to this end, that the
thousands of delegates may assemble
with an attitude and spirit of genuine
humility, penitence and expectancy.
4. That the work of the various
commissions of the convention and
the report of the International com
mittee may afford wise and prophetic
guidance and leadership for the as
sociations as they face the demands
of the new world and the new day.
5. That leaders, both day and sec
retarial, with requisite spiritual dis.
cernment, with sure grasp on vital
guiding principles, with courage and
unselfish devotion, may be forthcom
ing for all positions of responsibility
/ throughout the Brotherhood.

tribute signally to the communication
among men of all groups of the spirit

been able to get at American trans

were other things which prevented at

1t is well to know what we are up
against and the secrets of the Bolshe-
visit and anarchist groups have been
disclosed in the raids of the red
centers in various cities during the
past few days, Here are some Of the
things that are proposed by them for
this country: Seize all property
whether in small amounts or large
and kill those who would try to pre-
vent" Go and live in the houses of
the rich and the comfortable and take
and use that which they claim is their
property" Destroy all deeds, notes,
mortgages and other evidences of
class privilege" Take possession of
the banks, drive out those in charge
and use the money in the vaults for
the benefit of the revolution" DE.

because it teaches moral restraint and
protects the rights of property. Seize
all offices and kill those who resist
They deserve no mercy because they
are the tools by which society has
ground down and oppressed its

and take what you want that suits
you best The literature goes on tC
say that these things have already
been accomplished in Russia and thai
the proletariat in America can follow
the example set by Russia if they
have the courage. Perhaps, but il
would seem to the average American
citizen that the time to stamp out this
flame is before it spreads too far
Also it would seem unfair to foreign
neighbors to deport the criminals
aliens and distorted minds that teach
such doctrines. Why not clear some
island of the distant ocean, ring it
with armed destroyers to prevent es

there to practice their theories upon
themselves and upon each other
Then if it is a success we can all see
it for ourselves.

When will the world learn that no
two people think alike? People are
as different mentally as they are in
their looks, and that is saying good
deal. We do not complain when peo-
pie do not look alike. Yet their minds
are far more different than we can
ever imagine. One man has ambition
to be one thing, His ideals are non
sense to the man that works next to
him. What thrills one fellow is rldlcu-
lous to another So the cause of frlc-
ton is not hard to find. But it often
happens that minds are so nearly alike
that they both rasp on the same sub
ject. Petty jealousy is the result, One
word brings on another and trouble
comes before we know it. It's the
friction of life that makes families
glad when part of It goes on yaca-
ton.

The emigration which is planned
from Germany to other countries
may not be as easily put in practice
as the Teutons think. 1t is proposed
in England to forbid the entrance of
enemy aliens for an indefinite period

America may follow suit. The unde-
STABILITY of Germans as emigrants
