Of practical idealism that is rep
resented in the history OF America.
President Coolidge said today. The
people he added. are not likely TO
adopt any other course.
The idealism OF which he spoke,
the president said, was illustrated
by the men who went 10 h rescue
of Europe when their own liberty
and the liberty OF the world was in
peril. but, who, after victory was
secured. retired from the field, "un-
encountered by spoils, independent,
unattached and unbought."
President Coolidge's address. his
first formal public u~tterance, was
devoted to praise of the qualities
which have made the Red Cross a
success. Chief among these. he
said was its practical idealism.
1.-THE American Red Cross is a
modern application Of an ancient
principle" the president said.
THE idea of charity is very old.
It Is included in the teachings Of
the earliest philosophers. 1t is n
on the fundamental doctrines of
our bible. 1t is a spiritual concep-

life in obedience to the things that
are unseen.
Throughout history men have
been prone to put their trust in
other things and have failed. They
have sought for power through ma
terial alone. They have
thought IT might be gained by tho
accumulation of great riches. They
have attempted to rely upon the
naked forces OF armies and navies.
conquering by the might of the
sword. but these forces as police
and criminal courts and bolts and
bars are necessary. They are adj
juncts OF peace. But they are mega
tive forces. They do not create,
they resist. They are not the ulti-
mate force in the world. They do
not make the final determination
among men. Over them all is a
higher power.
Mankind has not yet. II cannot
yet. discard the use of these forces.
II is significant, however, that the
great nations have at least agreed
upon their limitations. But It is
even more significant that civiliza-
ton is coming to rely more and
more upon moral force. 1t is be-
cause the Red Cross has been a
practical application of that prin'
ciple that 1t has been such a

appeal for support directly to the
conscience Of mankind. 1t o. not
attempt to function. 1t does not
attempt to function through the al
rect action of organized govern
ment. It does not have in It any
element of compulslon. It is the
voluntary offering of the people
themselves. Whenever and where,
EVER an emergency has resulted In
human suffering. to the extent of
its ability. 1t administers whatever
may be necessary for temporary
relief.
at is in this direction that there
lies the hope of real progress. The
ancient ideals Of human brother
hood, of service. the application OF
the golden rule. Of peace on earth
and good will towards men, are idle
dreams. unless they can DO trans

necessary. on the one hand TO avoid
the Illusions OF the Missionaries,
and on the other hand. the indiffer-

duty to themselves. Beyond that.

GERMANY PROTESTS
AGAINST MASSACRES
Germany Afire sWith Protest Against
the French Shooting of Eleven
Germans in the Ruhr.
(By Associated Press Leased wire)

(By Associated Press Leased Wire)
Berlin.-Columns of protests in con-
nection with the shootings at the
Krupp plant in Essen last Saturday are
printed in today's Berlin newspapers
upon their temperance for the first
time since Sunday morning, on account
of the Easter holidays. Dispatches
from the Ruhr stoutly maintain that
the workers did nothing which YEAR
ranted the French shooting and that
the factory management was innocent
Of any agitation Of the laborers such
as would justify the arrest yesterday
of four Krupp directors.
The death toll remains at eleven, but
1t is semi-oficially stated that several
deaths probably will occur among the
nineteen seriously wounded, who with
eleven others are still in the hospitals
tt : dispatches emphasize that the
French reports are false in contending
an organized attack was planned
against the French detachment which
occupied the works. The Germans say
the sounding of the sirens was an
alarm agreed upon by the management
and the workers and that it consisted
Of nothing more than the usual signal
for the stoppage of work which previ-
cusly had been commonly used at the
rlines and other plants occupied by
! allied forces.
The charge made by the French that
the soldiers were attacked with jets of
steam is declared to be based appar-
emily on the fact that certain amount
Of steam drifted into the occupied
garage from locomotive whistles which
were being blown Immediately behind
! the building. The claim that the work
men were armed with revolyers is
unanimously denied, the correspond
ents reporting that the laborers had
rot even as much as a stick in their
| hands.

C. B. Hutchins, Famous
Bird Man, to Give Re
citals Here.
AT PARK AVE. NJ. E.

/''To him who in the love of nature,
holds communion with her visible
forms, he speaks varied language
And sometimes, not very frequently,
there comes a man who is able to
interpret this language to the ears of
common folks, through music, paint
ing, or others of the arts. Spring
breezes, though belated, are neverthe-
less fraught with the spirit of poetry
this year, and already feathered warb-
lers are tuning up "the self-same
song" Interpretation of these songs
requires a delicate medium, if the
true spirit and language of birds be
known.
Charles Bowman Hutchins. the IA
nous American naturalist, bird artist,
poet, and orthnic singer, will be pre-
sented by the Sunday school cabinet
of Park avenue church for five day
engagement which started Wednes-
day night.
Hutchins is known as the man "who
has mastered the music of the wild"
He is a genuine out doors man. His
program is manifold and without linn
it to variety, as he entertains and
edifies all who hear him, by carrying
his hearers away to the field and for
est to know and love the birds, trees,
flowers, four-foots and all the strange
and interesting things of nature. He
works chiefly through schools, church
es and musical organizations, and he
has drawn record crowds all over the
country, with the same programs he
is giving here. He not only initiates
birls with startling accuracy, but he
makes large colored pictures before
each audience, and Re whistles solos
to the harp accompaniment by Helen
Owen Eutchins. harpist and soprano,

New York City-Lord Robert Cecil
English statesman and protagonist of
the League of Nations in his first form
al address in America, told 1000 per-
sons at a dinner of the foreign policy
association in the Hotel Astor last
night, that America could not afford
to stay out of the league. The league
has already done meritorious work and
will continue to do so, he said. Ameri-
ca should ask herself, he said,- if she
can afford to stand aloof from the
schemes that promise more than
any, other to prevent the outbreak
of war; Other outstanding points
in his address were:
international fear and suspicion are
the basic evils responsible for the mad
ness of war.
"In their places must be substituted
the force of persuasion and public
opinion.
Disarmament cannot come until it
is general and that it cannot be gem
eral until nations agree to help their
neighbors if they are attacked.
"No nation can build Chinese wall
around its frontiers and exclude other
nations of the world
THE League of Nations has been
accepted by ifty-three nations as the
best means of substituting persuasion
for armed forces"
