Bishop of New York.

A disunited church cannot give the
full message of Christ to the world.
How can we expect the world to ac-
cept the gospel of fellowship from an
organization which is at variance with
itself? What consistency Is there in
an appeal for united world issued by
a divided church?
OF the practical waste, the squan.
dering of energy and resources occs-
stoned by our divisions. it is scarcely
necessary to speak. We see the evil
dences of this on every hand. 1t is
obvious that the energies which as
Christians we devote to controversy
and conflict with each other should be
devoted to the one great purpose for
which the church exists, the bringing
of the whole world to the knowledge
and. fellowship of Jesus Christ. But
the overlapping, the duplication of
effort, the competition and rivalry
among Christians are worse than mere
waste of resources, serious as this Is.
They are spectacle which lessons
the faith of men. which brings religion
into disrepute and which does daily
hurt to the cause of Christ.
Men today in general are not hostile
to religion, but the message of Christ
seems to them confused and uncer-
tain. Amid the controversies of the
churches they cannot hear the great
central message of the church. The
fact which they see clearly is that
however the divisions among Chris
tians may be accounted for. they con-
flict with the church's own teaching
and contradict her own principles.
They know that whatever else the

The Ilasis of international law is the
same as that of national law; it is a
social product; it is everywhere con-
cerned with man, and with man alone;
its object is to insure human happi.
ness and the Improvement of human
ity. The rules of international law
are addressed to mankind in order to
allow or to prohibit certain actions.
They are addressed also to rulers to
impose on them the duty of formu-
lating and sanctioning such rules.
They were first created for the pro
lection of foreigners. They were later
extended to natives of the colonies.
They were finally applied to all citi-
Gems.
At present international law is in a
transition period: it is no longer ex-
clusively the law of states; 1t is not
yet completely the law of individuals.
After the great war 1t seemed for a
moment as If ii were a dead letter.
But the initial wave of discourage
ment was soon succeeded by conf
dence in the renaissance of interna-
tional law. The problem is not new,
but merely an evolutionary manifesto

opinion of practically the entire
French population.
In order to reach this end, the COM
mission brought forth the idea that
financial science permitted no other
solutions than those of reason and
good sense The experts therefore
recommended a series of measures, as
simple as possible, and calculated to
insure the strict equilibrium OF the
budget and the freedom of the
treasury. These measures are sum-
med up as follows:
To keep down as much as possible
all government expenditures:
To return to the Bank of France its
independence by setting aside any
direct or indirect recourse to the ad.
vances of the Bank of France as Sc
curity for new government expendi-
lures;
Reduction In Advances.
To reduce gradually the advances
of the Bank of France to the govern
ment;
To insure the proper functioning of
the treasury; to restore it to its nor
NAL work by relieving 1t of great
part of the floating debt:
To undertake. by means of volun-
tary consolidation, the transforma-
ton into redeemabie securities of the
"bons de la defense rationale" and
the short-term "bons';
To realize. very shortly, with the
help of the Bank of France, the none
tary stability which alone can render
possible and OF a lasting efficiency the
preceding measures, and to hold, at
tract ard cause the return of capital
and prepare for an early return to it's
free circulation:
To contract, in view of sterilization,
loans in foreign money, at as long a
term as possible and to obtain credits
besides;
To pursue an economic policy which
will tend to mitigate the inevitable
crisis, which would be the conse-
ouence of return to sound money: and
help to re-establish the country's pros
perity.
This program rests on a close OBJ
servance of the governments obliga-
tons and on the settlement of the In
terallied debts.

Financial Attache to the French Embassy.
The practical expediency of the
French committee of financial ex-
perts is to be judged by the new
French government. 1t is not my
place to comment on 1t. It seems use
full, however, to point out the deep
significance made by independent
men. placed above any party consid-
erations. In conjunction with the
formation of a National Union min
istry under NJ. Poincare it gives evil
dence of the efforts of France rapidly
to bring back her financial situation
to normal It Is another proof of the
effort of the French people to put an
end to difficulties which are the in
evitable heritage of four years war
and devastation.
The committee of experts was
made up of IL men chosen from the
banking, industrial and commercial
worlds; 1t also included in its num-
bers, several economists particularly
renowned for their studies on none
tary and financial problems. In order
to guarantee every liberty to this com.
mittee, so that the impartiality
of its conclusions might be assured
the government decided that no man
from the political centers and RIO pub.
lie official be included In its ranks
Representatives of the ministry of
finance alone were to furnish to the
committee the necessary information,
without at any time taking part in
it's meetings.
Report FavOrably Received.
The report. which was quite favor
ably received by American public
opinion, proved the experts unani-
nous in thinking that the financial
situation of France was in no way to
be despaired Of. 1t said: IF France
knows how to impose discipline upon
herself, to work with unity, ardor and
constancy at the task of her re-estab-
lishment, to produce and economic in
greater measure, order and economic
prosperity win not be long in re-
turning"
However, the condition for any
financial restoration Is 1.-THE stability
of money" The experts recognized
that it was, vain to attempt at this
time to bring the franc back to its pre-
war value, and they likewise ener
getically condemned any imitation
policy, expressing in this way the

Change in Notion of Sovereignty
Is Step Toward Peace, Politis Says

ceived as relative notion; but as-<his
was fundamentally inconceivable the
next step was the complete relinquish-
ment of the notion of sovereignty.
The present tendency is to substitute
for 1t the idea of liberty, which is linn
tied by the progress of law. There re-
mains, however, domain Of liberty
which is not limited, that of domestic
affairs. AS law develops, however. its
scope shrinks. This first change paves
the way for others.
1t was the same for the principle Of
the equality of states In practice 1t
was never understood in an absolute
sense. The exceptions 1t connected
have not always been properly under
stood. With the relinquishment of the
dogma OF sovereignty, the equality Of
states becomes a principle analogous
to that of the equality of citizens; it
must be understood as juridical equal
ity From the material and moral
point Of view 1t does not exist. Nor
does 1t imply an equal participation
in the administration of the interests
~of the international community. But
the application of this last rule raises
many difficulties In practice. They are
due to the shortcomings Of interna-
tional organization, and, above ALL to
the traces WIl1Ch thG AOShid u SON-
ereignty has left in the mentality OF
the nations.
Another change may be found in the
determination of the rights and duties
of states. Instead Of speaking Of the
rights and duties of states it Is nearer
the scientific truth to indicate the OBJ
jective rules which authorize or pro-
hibit such or such an attitude on the
part of the men acting in their name.

Bishop Manning Scores Duplication
And Rivalry of Churches as Waste

A new spirit OF fellowship is show
ing itself. Misconceptions are being
removed. Mutual respect is taking
the place of suspicion and misunder-
standing.
Scholarship is at work, and under
its impartial searchlight some OF the
old difficulties wear a changed aspect.
There is new freedom, a new inter-
change Of thought, a new readiness to
compare ideas and to consider oppoS-
ing views among scholars and leaders
in all communions. Roman Catholics
and Protestants, Anglicans and nom
.conformists are found sympathetically
and open-mindedly studying each
others religious life and teaching.
Christians today are realizing that the
things which unite them are greater
than the things which separate them
They are asking why the separations
should continue. We know that there
is among oil Christians true inward
unity of the spirit And we cannot
emphasize too strongly the reality of
this inner unity of the spirit which
binds all true Christians together. But
this inner invisible unity alone Is not
sufficient.
We cannot, as Christians, be salts
fed, and the world will not be con-
WINGED by an inward ard invisible
unity which Is contradicted by out
ward separation and division. be-
lieve that we are now called-that the
whole situation In the world is now
calling us--to make new efforts for
the realization of that unity and fell
lowship among Christians which ST.

believe the time has come for a
new synthesis OF the deep religious
values represented by all Christian
communions. both Catholic and Prot.

of these values will show that they
are not as a11tagonistic as they may
appear on the surface, but that In
great degree they are complenaen tary

any play OF mine be performed with

to understand this as point Of trade

assure me that the admission charge
will go to the players, and not to any
other non.theatrical body, the per-

AMMUNITION Is
SEIZED MONDAY
N EAR NOGALES
(By Dispatch A. P. Wire)

NOGALES, Aug 30.-Between $4,000
and $4,000 rounds, Of ammunition
were seized by Mexican customs Of
ficials here today from Francisco
Orosco Just as he and companion
whose name was not learned were
passing the Mexican "Garita' or Gus
toms officials house on the interna-
tional line.
1t was said semi-officially that
Orosco was a member of a band of
filibusterers and ammunition run
ners here on the border who have
been lending aid to an embryo revo-
lutionary movement on the west
coast of Mexico in the states of
Nayarit and Sinaloa. The ammuni-
ton seized was believed to have been
destined for Mazatlan, Sinaloa.
Orosco is being held in the military
prison on the Mexican side pending
a preliminary hearing. 1t is the
practice of Mexican military authorl-
ties to execute anyone known to be
taking part in armed movements
against the government.
The car which Orosco and his
companion drove bore a Sonora Ii
cense number 1873. 1t is known here
that special American government
agents knew the ammunition was
purchased in Nogales, Arizona, and
an agent was shadowing the car when
it was seized. The agent intended to
arrest Orosco between the "Garito'
of American customs officials and
that of the Mexican officials, but
Orosco beat the agent to the Mexican
garlic when the latter was delayed
by the passage of another motor car
The law provides that American
officials can arrest Mexican law
breakers only when they are between
the two garitas, distance of about
100 feet.
Four Mexican customs officials,
evidently tipped off the ammunition

jumped on the running board of

comrade intocustody. The ammuni-
tion was confiscatAd.
