This is President Wilson's idea
OF the duty OF the church to-
ward mankind II is through
the efforts OF leading lay,nen Of tho
Methodist church. who believe exactly
as the President does, that the great
Methodist Missionary Centenary,
which will close with a gigantic fnan-
cial drive for s12O00O,O0S the first
week in May. was inaugerated.
Dr. S. Earl Taylor, laymen who is
at the head OF the entire movement,
has declared for years that the church
must become the center OF sentiment
and thinking llfe must become a dis
penser OF practical religion; in fact,
must re-establish the spiritual king
dom among men before the world will
become safe for democracy and before
peace on earth. good will towards
men" will reign
That is the idea which 100000 min
ute men are spreading throughout the
United States daily That is the idea
which thousands OF Methodist minis
ters are proclaiming from as many
pulpits. This great army of Centenary
workers has put its shoulders TO the
wheel OF an awakened church which
Is taking up the fight where the boys
in khaki left OF President Wilson
has been leading these boys. and has
now called for new army OF volun
teers 10 help him win his great battle
for the peace OF the world by declar
ing war on the venom in the hearts OF
men.
In every county In Michigan a com
pany OF this nationwide army Is carry

organization is as complete as that
which turned the Hun back towards
Berlin and the fight for Christian fel
lowship and worldwide democracy is
being carried on with the same deter
mination the Marines showed al

The Anarchy Statute

The New York statute defining
criminal anarchy, which was pub
lished in full by The Tribune the
other day, was drawn up by former
Senator Elsberg. In view of the
criticism of the act as unconstitu-
tional, it is instructive to read what
was said by the Judiciary Commit
tee of the state Senate, which
fathered the act, with respect to its
constitutionality, viz:
We propose nothing new or un-
precedented. To advise or command
another to commit crime makes
the person so advising or command
ing a principal in the criminal act
(Penal Code, Section 29), and this
has never been charged to be an in
reference with the liberty of speech
or press. Certainly the overthrow

lence is unlawful, and the advocat-
ing of such unlawful act or program
is equally unlawful and equally sus-

4 Critical Situation
By Frank II. Simonds

AS a consequence of the latest ad-
ventures of d'Annunzio it must be clear
to the whole world that Europe is on
the edge of another war. Up to the
present moment the Jugo- Slavs have re-
manned passive in the face of provoca-
tlons which, to say the least, would
have excused armed resistance. but
further Italian aggressions, any at
tempt to seize the whole of Damatia,
will inevitably lead to hostilities
Whatever the merits of the Fiume
discussion, the case of Dalmatia ad-
mlts of no debate. In a population of
nearly 100000 the Italians of Dalmatia
count for less than 10000. Outside of
the single town of cara they are a
hopeless and unpopular minority. The
desire of the people is overwhe lmingly
in favor OF union with the new Jugo-
Slav state, and Dalmatians and South
ern Slavs generally are bound to fight
If any further attempt is made by
dAnnunzio to extend Italian occupa-
zion.

The Lipht That Shines

DR.. Burrell, of the Marble Col
legiate Church, said in his Thanks
giving Day sermon, after quoting
the Scripture which says that God
made all the nations Of the world of
one blood and then laid on the Deity
the fixing of their boundaries, that
wars were due to attempts to trans
gress these boundaries. Then he
passed on to declare:
"The trouble at Versailles was
that there was no God there. When
the men were in the field of battle
they were quick enough to say In
God we trust but at the peace table
no word was spoken of the help of
God. He had no place there. 1t was
France, Britain, Italy, the United
States. Each was for its own glory
and advancement"
The man who exactly knows what
are the divine commands at a par
ticular juncture has an advantage
over his fellow creatures. 1t makes
everything clear and easy.
Excellent DR.. Burrell should obvi-
ously have gone to Paris. He would
have known, for example, where to
draw the line between Poland and
Germany and Italy and Jugo-Slavia.
AS to all the details covered in the
peace books of several hundred
pages he would have known pre-
cisely what to do.
But when he proclaimed, it is to
be feared it would have. been bias
phemed against with the energy he
displays in his castigation of the
Versailles treaty. 1t is not difficult
to condemn. "Alas for the rarity of
Christian charity!"
New-York tribune., 1919-11-29

on our part to hold out hopes Of that
sort to the other Allied signatories.
The questions which the signing
of the Bulgarian treaty raises will be
re-raised in aggravated form in the
Turkish treaty if American dele
gates also take part in the Turkish
settlement. The whole issue should
be met now. This country's desire
to keep out. of the Balkan and Near
Eastern mess is manifest. It is bet
ter to keep out than get out after
once getting in. The Balkan and
Turkish matters are doubtless two Of
the things Secretary Lansing had in
mind when he said this country was
not yet aware of what it was being
led into.
New-York tribune., 1919-11-29
Arbitration Refused

Concerning the final phases of the
Washington coal conference these
things are to be said:
Dr. Garfield did not make an offer
in behalf Of the government to either
operatives or union and did not claim
authority so to do. He merely made
q statement Of the facts as nearly as
he could arrive at them.
He said that the most reliable in
formation to which he had access
showed that the cost of living to the
miners has advanced 70 per cent and
that an additional increase of IA per
cent in their wages is necessary to
bring the incomes Of miners up to
former purchasing power.
The operators, confronted with
these facts, offered to equalize wages
and living expenses and to make
supplementary pledge not to add to
the price of coal. The miners f1atly
declined this offer.
The operators, if their settlement
proposal was not accepted, offered
to go to arbitration-to allow any
impartial tribunal to pass on the
issue of what should be the wage
scale; on whether DR.. Garfield is
right in his estimate, and, if he is,
whether the miners are entitled to
more than mere recoupment Of liv-
ing expenses. The arbitration offer
the miners declined.
If the strike continues and coal
bins become empty and great suf-
fering follows, the public needs
scarcely more than knowledge of the
foregoing to reach conclusion of
where responsibility lodges. Sell
dom has there been an industrial
dispute more simple in its issues.

Haldane VS.. Sazonof

Sazonoff's contention that if only
Sir Edward Grey, in July, 1914,
had warned Germany emphatically
that an attacked France would find
Great Britain on her side as an ally
the Berlin government would never
nave risked war is shaken by the
testimony of Viscount Haldane
Minister of War in the Cabinet of
Sir Henry Campbell -Bannerman-a
man whose testimony is all the more
convincing as he has been re-
preached in his own country for
cherishing sentimental sympathies
for Germany.
In the course of his recollections
extending over the years 1906-'14
recently published, Lord Haldane
tells of his uch-discussed visit tc
Berlin early in 1912. 1t is interest
ing to learn that as early as Feb
ruary, 1912, a member of the Brit
ish government told Bethmann-H -Holl-
veg, then Imperial Chancellor, that
'lf France were attacked and an at.
tempt made to occupy her territory
British neutrality must not be reck.
oned on by Germany"
1t may be that-as Herr Beth
mann Hollweg took good care the
other day to emphasize before the
committee on war responsibility
the German government was aware
of the unofficial character of Lord
Haldane's conversations" and dis
counted the authority Of his utter
ances, but it is certain that Beth,
mann n-Hollweg, both then and sub.
sequently, gave them weight. Beth
mannHollweg tried in 1912 to in.
duce Great Britain to sign a neu.
trality agreement, and on July 90
1914, just before the declaration OF
war against Russia, he offered tc
pledge no anneXations at the expense
of France if Great Britain would be
neutral; but he refused to make 8
similar pledge with respect te
French colonies, and Sir Edward
Grey naturally declined the propo.
sal. The German Chancellor plainly
had the Haldane statement in mind
AS to Belgium, the question was
brought up by Lord Haldane in his
first conversation with the Chan.
cellor, who was reminded that the
English were under treaty obliga.

# Italy Falls
Another Monster of Radicalisn, VIII
Face the World

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir Let me thank you in the name
of the whole civilized world for your
appealing and sympathetic editorial,
The Italian Crisis" which appeared in
yesterdays New York Tribune.
Italy is in danger of falling into
revolution. Italy, the peninsula of the
beautiful, is on the verge of being
desecrated by the deeds of the lawless.
soul-destroying radicals, and for what?
What is the extremely painful direct
cause? The refusal to fifty million people
of their ideals by our beloved President.
No doubt Mr.. Wilson can anticipate
diplomatic development quicker han the
average human being, but | am afraid
that in this case, if he persists in try
ing to force the government of Italy
to yield to his command" his anticipa-
ton OF lasting world peace will go,
because it will not be long before this
wonderful land, along with the rest OF
the world, will have to face the claws OF
not only the radical monster of Russia
but the radical monster of Italy as we'll.
