 'I am against war because it is unchrlstian. Jesus himself said:
 Love your enemies that ye may be the sons of your father in Heaven
 Tn the cross God himself turns the other cheek to humanity. Jesus launches his great offensive of love and sees the power of love pitted against physical force. Love against hate, good against evil and here he sees not only what ultimate power it is but how to overcome 1t. In the cross history reaches the climax, hu- manity stands here at the cross road, there are but two ways to mas ter it and each man must take his choice between them. Each age faces one supreme moral issue. For our time that Issue Is war. it Is Cac- sar or Christ; mans way or Gods.
 Jesus teaches the way of tho cross, war is the way of the sword, Jesus came so that men may have life, war is organized for death. Jesus launches in the world his great offensive of Love, of positive good will. War is destruction. Je- sus seeks Kingdom of Heaven, war is a method of hell.
 The call comes to every individ- ual who dares 10 trust this way of life who throws in his lot with the Galilean who still has not where to lay his head In warning world. Blessed are the poor in spirit, Bles- sed are the gentle, blessed are the makers of peace for they shall be called the sons Of God. The Son of God goes forth to peace. Who fol- lows in his train?"

FILM TITLES "ALL CAN UNDERSTAND"

some prominent gentleman last week made a remark referring to the moving picture mind" Wheth- or ihere is such q thing We do not know; but evidence tending to sub stanjiate a basis of truth in the al legations was 10 be derived from q pictures shown here only yesterday.
 ono of Booth Tarkington's well known novels is called The Mag nIlicont Ambcrsons." Thousands of people read it nuder this title, and they were not frightened from it by the juNtaposition in the title Of two words of four and three syIIables each.
 When the novel WAS "doue" into moving pictures, however, the bright gentlemen running the film produc- Ing industry couldn't swallow inc 'l'I"" There seems 10 be a lradi- ,ioo in Hollywood Fhat every great story with 4 distinctive title must be changed into . "hlm version" with title that will draw the attention of ''rn the most immature or the Irast intelligent Maniresuy, the Iarkington ti'lc pas considered too much for popular consumption. So the finn title was changed 10 Pam per"1 Nourh.' That. at least. was something that even film pro- .1c'r could understand.

If my soldiers would really think not one of them would remain Tn the ranks" One remembers the horrible story that came to Us dur ins the war of women who had their breasts cut of and of babies who had their hands chopped of. One was led to believe that the practice of the Germans In Belgium was 10 cut off the hands of babies, but as a matter of cold fact there is no truth in the story and there are no more handless babies in Belgium than there are In England or in Ger many. Ex-Premier Niti quotes Lloyd George as having sent in word that he has not been able to trace a. sin gle case of child's hand having been cut off in all Belgium. But war promotes that kind of propa- ganda. If We can make ourselves think that the enemy are swine huns devils and baby killers we can believe that we arc rendering God service by ridding the world of such demons. But what are the actual facts? There were few babies on the Lusitania and on sev- erai other ships which were de- stroyed and some were killed In the air raids, but at the very hour that we were rousing ourselves to fury of righteous indignation to make the world safe against these baby killers our allied hunger blockade was kill ing many many times more babies than the enemy ever had a chance to kill.
 "The second points I want 10 make Is that war is wrong in the result that 1t accomplishes. It destroys material wealth. Every day of the war we burned up 215 millions of dollars or at the rate of nine mill Hons of dollars an hour. The equiv- alent of the endowment of a great university like Columbia was de- stroyed every five hours. War is de- structiVe, not only of property, but of human life. A conservative esti- mate of the total death toll of the war is placed at 2s million. This would mean a city the size of New Britain plotted out with every one of its inhabitants every four days of the war. But war destroys not only property and life. but 1t Is destruc- tive of all moral standards. have here by the pulpit & rife which I took from an Austrian prisoner.

TAX RECOMMENDATIONS
 AND CONGRESS

What the House ways and means committee in Washington decides 10 "recommend" regarding tax re- ductions and what Congress ulti- mately does about it may he two en- tirely different things The House committee is inclined to so the limit in its recommendations Congress, where political possibilities are more inclined to be weighed in the bal ance. vii! be more conservative. It is easy for the public mind to be- come confused as to the relative value Of q bill framed by a committee and the actual results likely when Congress meets. Com- mittees in the past have done a deal of recommending, while Congress in the past has not necessarily acted upon all such recommendations The plan of counting chickens before they are matched Is just as illogical in connection with Congress-even when the chickens are in the form of tax reductions-as in a barnyard.
 The House committee has been acting as If it wishes 10 make a hit with the tax-paying public, giving 1t soothing syrup and stimulating ex- treme expectations of wholesale re- ductions. This may be well, up 10 certain point but when done ex- tremely well gives rise 10 false ex- pectations.

EOODSTuFF SPECULATORS;
 "S1O0 DOWN"

New Britain houscwiIes lately have been confronted with an un- usually high price for potatoes. The explanation has been that there was B shortage Of tubers with the na- tural result of an upward trend in wholesale costs.
 All of which up to 0 certain point. was true. But little more about the potato situation has just been discovered-that spectators have been taking advantage Of the tight supply to make some easy money.
 Any speculator can buy a
 carload of potatoes, weighing
 10000 pounds by making first
 payment of s100," we are told
 by a merchant Many of these
 spectators have bought from
 50 to 100 carloads each on this
 partial payment plan. which
 called for a first investment Of
 S5,o00 for 50 carloads of s10,-
 900 for 100 carloads. Having as
 they thought cornered the po-
 tato market, they manipulated
 tho wholesale price to dealers
 tbpt If sflts mood St
 from $1.S0 10 the high price of
 sf.90 q hundred weight reach
 cd last Thursday. There being
 slow market for potatoes at
 this price. the rival spectators
 began to cut the price in order
 to unload their holdings before
 their second payments fell due.
 So il only takes g. first payment Of s100 to be a spccula,or in pota- toes. the following payments being made after the price is jacked up and the public is mixed. It is pleasing 10 learn, however, that the spectators have bitten off more than they can chew and that a price cutting war has started In their ranks.
 Similar speculation has increased the price of onions and turnips. But the spectators have hoisted the price so high that the buying of their manipulated product has fallen off, It is 10 be hoped that they, instead of the public are nip ped in the pockcibook. Speculation in foodsturs is rcprchcnsible.
 The theory advanced by spccula- tors and government experts" that the price ol potatoes would incyila- bIy a1'aur. because oC a big crop shortage is moi aor,p'DI by thought full dealers, 1h,y point out that, though this years potato crop is less than tha crop ot 1924 last years crop MS tAc biggest c,or har'cst,I.
