CHARD LLOYD JON
SAYS C.
slice is the Goal of Civilization

Virtue finds its truest expression in justice. Liberty and equality
are empty words unless they rest upon justice which at all times is the
true principle for humanity. Separate liberty or equality from Justice
and neither can stand. The passion of all great prophets throughout
all ages has been for justice.
1t is the one-word definition of the Golden Rule. It was not only
the basis of the teachings of Jesus but of all great religious seers and
thing. Confucus put it: What I do not wish men to do to me, 1 also
wish not to do to them"
Justice is virhe; it is never passive or Indifferent It is the truth
in action. Justice may be violent; it is always violent to the one who
ohends it. We may prize success coyet wealth, seek honor, but none
of these "a satisfy unless they come through justice.
He is great who, for Justices sake, can forget friends. kin, ell inter-
est-al-to fight for or to work for that which is right for another, a
stranger perhaps, o even a enemy. We cannot secure justice for our
selves through denying justice to others. 1t is not in the order of things,
for justice is consistent, impartial and always fair.
Though justice is impartial it is not blind. Science is governed by
its laws.
The nation that loves liberty most sincerely and that fights only for
human justice is seldom found i'll the brutal entanglaHents OF war and
then only in a bengnant war made holy by the passion for Justice The
nation that eoyets property and men. that seeks to enrich itself by devas-
tating its neighhor. is found most often in the throes of war and then
for the shameful and unsatisfyin- end of boldly defying justice. And
as with nations so with men. Such nations come to no good end.
Justice" said Daniel Webster. lis the greatest interest of man IN
earth. 1t is the ligament which holds civilized beings and civilized
nations together"
Happiness and progress are secured only when justice is honored.

PERSIA DESERT
|SOPENED To
AUTOS
Short Route to Bagdad Pos
sible by Use of Modern
Transportation.
By WILLIAM RANDORF,
Cosmopolitan News Service Staff



NEW YORK, July IA short
route to Bagdad, the dream of en-
pire-building statesmen and of ccm'
mercial leaders of the world, Is to
be made into a reality by means
of the American automobile.
From New York to Bagdad across
the Persian desert in fifteen days
that is the aim of the new line
which the Marin Transportation
Company will open up from Helta.
Norman D. Marin, an Australian,
sailed for London today after pur-
chasing six American automobiles
here for the new route.
London and the Mediterranean
thus will be brought within an
eight days journey of Bagdad,
within thirteen days from the Brit
ish capital. If the automobile line
is successful, Teheren may be
added as an additional station
STOP"
1t Is such an outlet to the Orient
that was one of the most ambitious
dreams of the ex-Kaiser, who was
planning to realize the old hope of
q "Berlin-to-Bagdad" railroad, which
played such an important part in
shaping the destiny of all Europe.
The firsI line will run from Haifa
to Damascus, then straight east
across the desert to Bagdad. There
is no water on the 450-mile expanse
until the Euphrates is reached at
Felujay, seventy miles this side of
The City of Calipks.
1.-THE opening up of the Persian
desert has four striking aspects, ~
Mr.. Nairn said today. From a
commercial standpoint, it faces
Mesopotamia toward Europe instead
of toward the East, by making
communication quicker. From a
historical standpoint. it brings within
easy reach of tourists the famous
ruins of Baalbek, Palmyra, Babylon
Ur, and Nineveh.
Politically, it brings Persia
nearer to the countries of western
Europe and the traffic will make
for the peaceful penetration of the
desert and the civilization of its
tribes. Moreover, it opens up
wonderful possibilities for the de-
velopment of the land by irrigation.
The Tigris and Euphrates at
the present time run to waste. The
desert lands are not sandy, but
composed of mud baked hard in
the sun. Irrigation would turn this
vast tract of waste land into fertile
fields"
The Mesopotamia government re-
Gently gave the Nairn company a
five-year mail concession. Mr.. Marin,
who is the first man to have crossed
the Persian desert in an automobile,
said the American cars would be
driven at 75-miie rate through the
desert. -s}

Mrs. ANDREWS in
Role of Lady
BOuntifuL.

~ ENG one of those who
X takes literally the Scrip
~ tural command, Let not
your right hand know what your
left hand doeth," Mrs. Mimi
gerode Andrews is accomplishing
a great deal of good in the world
of which only her closest init
mates are aware. This summer,
for example, Mrs. Andrews gave
up a trip to California of which
she had been dreaming because
she had undertaken the care of a
Russian boy, the scion of an aris-
tocratic family which had fled
from the Bolshevik forces. The
lad is with her at Vauxcleuse, her
country home at Seminary Hill
near Alexandria, and she proposes
to see that his education is COM
pleted, and that he is well started
on his way to a career before
she leaves him to his own re-
sources.
That's the sort of thing that
Mrs. Andrews is always doing.
There are two successful young
men in Washington now whom
she helped in getting a start In

took another youthful Russian
refugee under her wing. Although
he was the son of a famous Rus
sian doctor and came of an aris-
tocratic and once wealthy family,
he arrived at Ellis Island with
but 10 cents in his pocket and the
clothes on his back. Mrs. An
drews had the boy as her guest
for a while, saw that he was prop
erly outfitted, and then helped
him to get started in New York
in the sort of work for which he
had an aptitude.
Always an exceedingly busy
person, Mrs. Andrews is taking a
very active part in the campaign
for the purchase of Monticello
and it's conversion into a national
shrine-she is chairman of the
Washington branch of the Thorn
as jefferson Memorial Founda-
tion-and she is doubly busy with
this work just now, as Mrs. Rose
Gouverneur Hoes, secretary of
the organization, and Mrs. An
drews' most faithful collaboratOc,
