NEGOTIATIONS BREAK

LONDON, May 3.-Hope of avert
ing general strike that hung upon
Sundays negotiations between the
British Government and the Trades
Union Congress, vanished at
O'Clock this morning when it was
officially announced negotiations
had failed.
The Government Immediately is

negotiations unless the Congress
withdrew the general strike orders
and repadiated other overt acts in
Guiding freedom OF the press.
An obvious allusion to the strike
was felt here today when printers
and other operatives of the Daily
Mail objected to an editorial sent
them causing suspension OF the pub

NEW YORK, Mav :. Oscar S.
Straus. former United States Am
bassador to Turkey, died suddenly

Coming to America in childhood MS
q Jewish immigrant, Oscar Solomon
Straus was twice minister and once
ambassador to Turkey, and the first
of his race to become member OF
the Cabinet of a President OF the
United States. He devoted part of
ithropic work and was for 30 years

TRY as Il statesman and diplomat. he
was colleague Of President Roose-
welt in the formation of the Progress
i've Party, and in 1912 became the
candidate of this party for Governor

The diplomatic career of Mr.
Straus began in 1887 when he was
appointed Minister to Turkey by
President Cleveland, whose nomina-
tion for the Presidency he had con
spicuously urged. AS American Min
lister to the Ottoman Empire, he was
instrumental in reopening so schools
and protecting more than 500 mis-
sions from harm. He brought about
a better understanding and more
friendly relations between the United
States and Turkey and promoted the
establishment of commerce between
THE two countries. He remained at
his post three years.
In Arbitration Court
When President Roosevelt, in 1902.
sought man versed in government
/ al affairs and diplomacy qualified to
succeed former President Harrison
as a member of the Permanent Court
of Arbitration at the Hague, the
choice fell upon Mr.. Straus. Four
years later President Roosevelt ap.
pointed him Secretary of Commerce
and Labor in his Cabinet. In this
position Secretary Straus, once an
immigrant himself. had charge of all
immigration to this country. One of
the first things the new secretary
did upon entering his office was to
order an investigation of the accom-.
modations for steerage passengers on
ocean liners.
In a crisis In the Turkish Empire
! in 1909, Mr.. Straus was persuaded
| by President Taft to again take up
the duties OF representing the United
States in that country. this time as
Ambassador. The next year Mr..
Straus was successful in obtaining
from the Turkish government de-
cision whereby all foreign religious
educational and benevolent institu-
tions were permitted to hold landed
property. More than 300 American
organizations were affected by this
decision.

Editorial Comment
A Different Drummer

("Uncle Dudley in Boston Globe)
The other Sunday, when DIR. Harry
Emerson Fosdick preached for the
first time in his new church, he babe
his people bring to mind the words
of Thoreau when he said. IF l do
not keep step with others 1t is be
cause | hear a different drummer"
DR.. Fosdick told them that the
same thing should be true of Chris
tians. Eve ought not to keep step
with the world; we ought continual
ly to hear a different drummer"
Somehow this is what the I'M
churched millions expect from the
churches. They are not looking for
exhibition of efficiency, not expecting
religion to be a greater business.
Most of them manage their social af-
fairs fairly well without help from
ecclesiastical sources. They are
porters of undenominational
charities, and join in movements for
community betterment. But they
have q feeling that the religious
message should bring a new rhythm
to ordinary life, that the churches
should transmit the beat of q diff
ferent misunderstanding righteous
ness lovely, stirring sluggish Wills to
higher duties, lifting men and wo-
men out of the selfishness which
comes so quickly and so subtly to
most of US.

A CORRECTION

In the news report in Fridays
papers of the nomination of Alton
C. Wheeler of South Paris to be
trustee of the University of Maine
the following erroneous statement
appears: 'In 1913, Mr.. Wheeler lost
by one vote in a contest for the U.
S. Senatorship, the Maine Legis-
lature then having the power to
name men for such Office"
Turning to the Legislative Record
we find the vote for Z. S. Senator in
the joint convention of the Legisla-
ture, Jan, Is. 1913, was as follows:
Z. NJ. Thompson z, Obadiah Gardiner
50, Edwin C. Burleigh, 81. On the
previous day, Jan. IA, when House
and Senate voted separately, Mr..
Wheeler, as a member of the House,
voted for Mr.. Burleigh, stating as he
did SO: las a Progressive, elected in
the Republican column, 1 feel it my
duty out of respect for the primary
on this ballot alone to vote for Ed
win c. Burleigh." The next day in
the joint convention of the two
houses Mr.. Wheeler's vote is record
ed as given to Candidate Thompson.

CONTRIBUTIONS FALL SHORT
OF NEEDS

Evidently there is yet need OF
further Red Cross donations to the
sufferers from the Florida hurri-
cane. A report to the Boston Herald
from Miami states that for the flrst
time in history the American Red
Cross has failed to obtain the
amount it asked for disaster relief;
that donations have practically ceas-
ed.
We contributed nine million dol
lars to the relief of Japan. three mil
lions to relief following the mid
western storm of March 1925. Five
millions were asked for Florida and
only about three millions have been
received. 1t is said that every dol
lar contributed has been applied
directly to the sufferers but that not
more than sixty per cent Of the
amount needed is had; that the
death toll in the Miami district has
increased to 1874, 20 having died in
the hospital within the last eight
days.
1t appears that, following state
ments from Florida's Governor and
real estate men minimizing the eff
fects of the disaster, contributions
stopped. If the need exists the con-
tributions should not stop. Nor do
we believe the people, though called
upon to give right and left, would
wish them to stop short Of doing
what might be done at least to al
leviate suffering If not to rehabilitate.
