LOVERS LOFT

Pastor S Study Convenient;
Church Mouse Never
Squeals 'neyerything.

A lovers loft. has been added
to the Emmanuel Baptist Church in
Chicago. The pastof of the church.
DR.. Johnston Myers. acted on a
suggestion recently made by the
Rev. John Thompson that all
churches should be equipped with
''cosy corners for the saccommoda-

community
A library, piano. floor lamps.

"non-essentials" in little Danny's

gether with such absolute reoui-
sites as downy davenports, a myr-
lad of sofa pillows and adjustments
on the lights that permit of a grad

are no chaperones or traffic cops to
prevent crowding. And the little
church mouse will neven squeal.

The Towers loft" is open to the

II always have heartily approved

War Memories Oppress Enghsh;>
HaOe No Quarrel With Irish, Says
Sir Auck bland Geddes in Lnteruiew

Despite the part taken by this
country in the war. Washington is
far more a peace-time Capital than
London or any other great city of
Europe. yesterday declared Sir
Auckland Geddes, the new British
Ambassador. in his first interview
since taking up the post here.
ut is good. indeed, to be back in
this beautiful city. where, unlike
the capitals of Europe, the war,
seems to be in the background and
moro or less a thing of history
said the new Ambassador.
He is a big man, physically, six
feet tall. and broad -shouldered. He
has a strong, square Jaw and large
hands. His general appearance
suggests ruggedness, but the air of
the student is lent by deep-se eyes
behind horn-rimmed glasses. The
outstanding impression of the
Britisher is that of the successful
and prosperous business man, rath-
er than the diplomat.
War Changes British.
"hy' lhc thlHS lHdI mas I'M
pressed me most in the few days I
have been on this side" he said, in
response to an inquiry, 'is what ap-
pears to be a rather general lack Of
appreciation of the great changes
the war brought the British. The
outlook of our people is different In
many respects - the whole atmos-
phere has changed.
For one thing. there is a pro-
nounced feeling against the things
connected with war which is more
than just a reaction. 1t Is far deeper
than that And 1t is lasting, for in
telligent, thinking people of every
class are taking a greater interest in
all the Affairs of the country - do
mestic and foreign"
Little interest has been shown by
the London press and public in the
Irish demonstratiohs here, he said,
for there is no quarrel between
England and ireland and the people
over there believe that the Irish in
Ireland should be allowed to srapple
with their own political difficulties
without outside interference.
Can Work own salvation.
I'VE are trying to provide politi-
cal machinery whereby the antag-
onized sections of the Irish people
can work out their own internal po-
iitical salvation without economic
ruin to Irish interests. II 1t be true
