Unity Exists.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
As a man who voted for Wilson
both times when he ran for Presi-
dent and who is essentially a
Democrat (but always an Ameri-
can regardless OF what party is in
power) / want to protest against
any acts of political vengeance"
that may serve to minimize the
efforts of the disarmament con-
ference. The world is sick, very
sick, morally. The man who would
aggravste its moral illness invites
the wrath of the Almighty. Let
me quote an appropriate text from
the twelfth chapter OF Romans:
BE not wise in your own con-
ceits: to no man rendering evil
for evil: providing good things
not only In the sight Of God, but
also in the sight of all men. II IL
be possible, as much as is in you,
having peace with all men Dearly
beloved, avenge not yourselves, but
rather give place unto wrath: for
IL is written; Vengeance is mine;
Will repay, saith the Lord"
Careful students of the Scriptures
will note that some of the verses
dUONc are lTOIn Tue NdNnOliC blble
and some from the Protestant Bible
This is the method in my madness:
want this mixed quotation to be
a symbol of peace between Demo
Gratis and Republicsns-an Amer
leans, after all. as Catholics and
Protestants, after all, are sons OF
God
And so l say to my fellow Demo-
Gratis with all my heart: Come, be
men! Americans are still running
our country. even IL we call them
Republicans"

NEW YORK, Nov. 1s.-S. ]. Kauf-
man writes the daily continued
story of Manhattan-its life, it's
cares theaters. art exhibits and
high lights and shadows. He is the
professional boulevardier who not
only explores the boulevards but
prowls about the queer hooks and
crannies Of the great metropolis.
IL there is new cato off the
beaten trail-whether it be one of
astounding magnifcence or a drab
brownstone front with paying
grests'-Kaufman finds 1t and tell.
his impressions In the Round the
Town" column in the New York
Globe.
A Few years ago Kaufman. whose
rather Is wealthy manufacturer,
arrived in New York from London
where he had worked as reporter
in Fleet street He made the rounds
of the newspaper shops after a job
but there were no vacancies.
So he conceived the idea of writ
Ing Broadway's book of life and
each day he would wander about
the city. set down his impressions
and take them to the managing
editor of the New York Globe.
Tney were not printed at first but
Kaufman was persistent and finally
one day his observations appeared
~ he i'll ~ 1f
the first week he got $50.
He attracted a following from
the start and at the end of the
second month his daily contribution
had become so popular that he was
sent n blank contract TO fill in.
From an obscure rowing journa-
list he has become the oracle OF the
White Way-making or unmaking
play, book or painting with his per-
sonal opinion.
He leads epicureans into new
helds-perhaps cellar table
d'hote in the East Side tenements
or an old rose and gilt cafe with
subdued lights on Madison avenue
No first night Death Watch is
complete without Kaufman sitting
in the first row. He has written
four or FIVE successful vaudeville
sketches. one called High Low
Brow" Is now in its third year.
Three successful films are from his
pen and he has written the lyrics
for a number of popular songs.
He is proprietor OF a weekly dra-
matte paper. owns and conducts a
big knitting factory and Is the
producer of several plays that tour
the provinces.
He is intense, eager and earnest
and is forever digging up Some
genius out of obscurity and setting
his feet on the path to fame. One
day he received a letter, ringing
with sincerity. from moving PIC
ture actor who told Kaufman that
in two days he was going to give
up lIfe's struggle in suicide.
Kaufman printed his letter and
made personal plea for the de-
spondent correspondent to see him.
He had private detectives search
the city for him but at the end OF
the second day he received another
letter thanking him for his interest.
but stating that when the letter
was received the writer would be
dead.
Two hours later he was found
pistoled in a sordid hotel In the
Forties.
Kaufman might easily lead life
of Incidence but he chooses a
life filled with activity. He has
made for himself an unusual niche
in New York's field OF journalism.
He is in his early thirties and
single and was born in a small
town in Pennsylvania.

sponsibility is the greatest Of all.
Let US measure up to IL.
The following prayer seems very
fitting at this time for daily use.
o my Cod o my Godi Unite the
hearts of Thy servants, and reveal
to them Thy great purpose. May
they follow Thy Commandments and
abide in Thy law. Help them o God.
in their endeavor, and grant them
strength to serve Thee. o God,
leave them not to themselves, but
guide their steps by the light of
knowledge, and cheer their hearts
by Thy love. Verify Thou art their
Helper and their Lord!
This prayer, revealed by BAHIA
'ollah Is being used by many lovers
of peace and world Cancellation.
Among these are the followers OF
Abdul BAHIA, the well-known sage
Of the Orient.
AS result of his teachings Of the
fatherhood of God and the brother
hood of man. the abolition OF re-
ligious, racial and national preju-
dices, he was prisoner at Acca
(Achor or Acre. Haifa, Palestine
for forty years. For the purpose of
promulgating these principles and
raising the call for universal peace
he toured Europe and America in
1912
Let us pray that all the nations
Of the world represented at the

tives. may unite in this universal
language of the heart. and that

Spirit Will be evident in their midst

FAVOR Hughes Plan

That the plan of Secretary Hughes
for a long naval holiday will meet
with strong support in Japan. is the
opinion expressed by members OF
the Japanese business commission
who have just arrived in this coun-
try on a tour Of the United States
and England.

gestion, as voiced by Secretary
Hughes, will bring a favorable re-

"At first there was a disposition In
Japan to regard the conference as
being aimed directly at Japan. but
that has been entirely dissipated by
the announcement OF the personnel

their suggestions.
II believe the people of japan are

gestions of the conference in all

Resurrection of China.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
In dealing with the situation in
China and the status OF the Chinese
delegation TO the conference, ar
editorial in The Herald on Novem-
Der s. Autopsy or Resurrection
conveyed several wrong impressions
to those who are interested in see
ing an equitable adjustment of Far
Eastern problems.
The delegation of the republic OF
China Is representative. in addition
to being accredited by the recog-
nized government in Pekin. More
than one-half of the personnel OF
the delegation. including the pleni.
potentiary delegates, come from the
provinces situated south of the
Yangtze River. They were chosen
after many earnest conferences be-
tween the government. provIncia
authorities and organizations in al
parts of China. Members were
handed resolutions and memoranda
presented by various popular or
CARNATIONS as a result of President
Harding's invitation. For the Chi.
nese people have been keenly dis.
cussing Far Eastern and Pacific
questions, and these resolutions
represent the public sentiment OF
China at this conference.
Is 1t fair, then, in view OF the
mutual confidence between the dele
cation and the people of China. tC
question the delegation's appoint

was not the writer's intention.
Secondly, the situation in China
is not mirrored in the false report
that "over 1,250,000 men now un'
der arms are roaming over the en-
pire looting and pillaging." Such
statements as this are without
foundation. The republic of China
owns and operates the railroads OF
China. Trains are running on SEIZED,
ule and travel is as comfortable as
anywhere in the world. Telegraph
telephone and mail service are like
wise efficient and normal America
Is we'll aware that the past year
American business with China has
totaled the greatest volume since
commercial relations were estab'
lished. Are these indications Of
chaos?
There is evidence enough of a
spirit to be reborn and a substance
in which to house it." And assur'
edly the best evidences of such q
spirit are seen in the determination
of the Chinese people to wrest back
their patrimony from the undeserv'
ing Manchus, to live or die witt
the new classic Shantung question
and to play a worthy part in the
present conference.

place Of smiles. A republic kneeled
at the bier Of grief. The day ad-
vanced. The sun. which at day dawn
wore veil of mourning, burst, at
length. from behind the clouds. For
moments. at least, the marked
quietude was broken. Again. in the
