BOOKS AND BATTLES.

Fifteen decisive books nave proved of more worth to the world than fifteen decisive battles in the opinion of James l. Wyer Director of the New York State Library School An Associated Press dispatch says that in speaking before the New York Library Associa- tion, MT. Wyer took Creasys Fifteen Decisive Battles of the World" and listed against each book The Associated Press dispatch contained the following list:
 BATTLES BOOKS
 Marathon. 490 B.C.. -Eucids Elements Arbela, 331 .Bc Aristotle
 Metaurus, 207 B.C.Plato
 Arminius Over
 Varus, AID. . Hebrew Scriptures Chaons 451 -Augustne's City of

 and Morte dArthur Joan of Arc, 1429... Divina Commeda Spanish Armada

 Blenheim. 1704 --... De Imtatione Christi Fultowa, 1709 -.--.. Pilgrims Progress Saratoga, 1777 Wealth of Nations Valmy 1792 ......--.. Positive Philosophy Waterloo 1915 .--.. Origin of Species The Associated Press list contains only four teen of the fifteen battles listed by Greasy and only fourteen books. The other Greasy battle omitted by the Associated Press account of Mir Wyer's speech, was the Battle of Syracuse, 413
  through which Greece failed to become the world power that Athens hoped for Greasy believed that if the Athenians had won at Syracuse Greek civilization rather than Roman would have dom- mated the world.
 Why the omission of this important battle, the second in Creasys list by MT. Wyer cannot be explained. unless it because he had no book to set against it.
 Two battles added to the fifteen listed in 1851 by Greasy, admitted by him be- fore his death in 1878 to be entitled to place in his book, and included in all recent editions of the great work of the English lawyer-historian Gettysburg and Sedan. John ,Gilmer Speed has added the Battles of Manila and Santiago de Cuba as one, because the Spanish War terminated Spain's remarkable colonial experience Another edition would have to add the Battle of the Marne.
 Those who agree with MT. Wyer and favor books rather than battles civilization promoters ought to find suitable field here for training prophetic tendencies They might entertain and strengthen their visions and intellects by choos- ing decisive books to set against the Battles of Gettysburg, Sedan, Manila and Santiago de Cuba and the Marne.

Episcopal Minister and Temperance AdvO-
 cate Attacks Prohibition.
(New Yorx Times.)


 The Methodist Episcopal Church attacked at political institution which was doing all it could to keep the Eighteenth Amendment in the Constitution by the Rev. Harry Howe Bogert, Rector of Calvary Episcopal Church, Burnt Hills, Saratoga County. N. Y, in a letter to Assembly, man Louis A. Cuvillier, made public yesterday.
 Mir Bogert, who is member of the Board of Managers of the Church Temperance Society, expressed agreement with MT. Cuvlier in his demand that the prohibition laws be changed and the Eighteenth Amendment be repealed.
 'It peeves me the way the press and other publications attribute to Church attitude strongly favoring prohibition, because by the Church they mean various Protestant bodies only" the Rev MT. Bogert wrote. "The Roman and Episcopal communions, which favor the Catho- lie side of religion, are not in favor of pro hibiton.
 "of course there are individuals in both these bodies who do, but neither body has ever pressed any resolution in their legislative Ss- semblies regarding the Eighteenth Amendment, or the yolstead Act one way or the other. while lseveral Protestant bodies have done. "The Methodist body is purely political institution. and is doing all it can to keep the Eighteenth Amendment In the Constitution. They have a lobby in Washington and are practically the Anti-Saloon League. If the Roman Church did one-tenth the amount of propaganda that the Methodist body does it would be bounded from end of the country to the other
 General Grant well said that there were
 
 publican. Democrats and the Methodists, and that is true today As you must know, there is a big movement on foot to start new political party if both the Republicans and Democrats lsidestep the Prohibition question. "I have been Republican all my life, but I, do not hesitate to say that will forsake that party immediately if the Liberal Party comes into being on this question. l am sick of the degraded moral stamina of our Congress sick of this whole abominable mess and the sooner we come out into the open and declare ourselves the better it will be. 1 have faith that either of the big parties will touch the Prohibition question, unless it be to proclaim in favor or It, in which case if there be other party. l will not vote
 "When people assumes to know more than Almighty God what is good for themselves it is time to get out. The present prohibition laws have done more harm to this country, to the peo- pie temselyes, than anything that has ever hap pened. We are nation of dstilers, brew CTS, liars hypocrtes and grafters. made so by this damnable Eighteenth Amendment and Vol stead Act.

HOW TO STOP IT.

 American people are not naturally irreverant
 They do not like to quarrel with the Churches or to criticize them. They recognize the need for religion. large majority of them are Christians. However. as long as Churches remain political organizations they will be discussed af such. If the result of the discussion that is just

Peace River Railway.
(Prince Rupert News,)


 Definite action toward the building of rail- way giving western outlet to Peace River has been taken by the Canadian National Railway according to a statement made by the Minister of Railways at Edmonton. The idea of the survey is not apparently, with a view to immediate construction but in order that when extensions are made to the existing railways from the East they may be made with definite plan in view
 There are great many efforts being made just now to interest people in the building oi the railway. Vancouver is making enorts to see the outlet of the railway shall be at that city The Provincial Government is interested In nloading the F. G. E. which is at present bur den on us all Private interests expect to make something out of any scheme promoted The Canadian National Railways is interested in se- curing new feeder for that line without incur ring much new overhead expense. All citizens oi Western Canada would like to see some move made to open the new country for settlement and especially to provide an outlet that will give the Pacific Coast chance or getting more business .
 It seems to us that this is the time Tor us all to put as much pressure as possible on the Government with view to having the iihe ouii' at as early date as possible.

NOTED MAN MAY BE GERMAN
 AMBASSADOR.

It is said that the impression grows in Der lin and Washington that Dr. Carl Won Schubert, Secretary of State in the German Foreign office. will be appointed Ambassador to the United States. He will almost certainly be appointed if it should be decided that he be spared from his present position, for he has asked for the assignment.
 It has been three years since Dr. Von Schubert first asked to be appointed Ambassador at Wash ington whenever vacancy should occur there The recent accidental killing of Baron von Maltzan in airplane accident created the sought for chance. However, doubt is felt at Washington that the German Government will want Dr. Won Schubert to leave Berlin. He is a "carer" diplomat of wide experience and noted ability He has been the key to many of the knotty problems that have confronted the Ger man Government since the establishment of the Republic. He is said to possess the confidence not only of the American Government but that of the diplomatic world
 It is regarded as significant that Dr. von Schubert has picked Washington the desirable position It indicates that Germany values her American connections very highly

Illinois Mine Workers
Convention Will Meet;

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Feb. II. (FP).
The Illinois Mine Workers, Dist. II
Of the U. NJ. w. A., will hold their
31st convention in Peoria. 1t will be
the first convention in many years to
meet without the presence in the chair
of Frank Harrington, who sold out
while president to the Peabody Coal
Co. At last reports Harrington was
in a sanitarium.
If strike comes April / when the
Jacksonville national agreement ex-
pires there will be no scabbing in
Illinois as the district is 1000 or
ganized. Even in the 1922 strike the
only attempt at strikebreaking was
at a surface strip mine near Herfin
and that was stopped before any coal
was shipped out.
If the committee Of miners and
operators convening at Miami Feb. Ia
to negotiate a new national scale
reaches an agreement before March
the Illinois miners will probably act
on it.
Delegates to the convention will be
paid $3.50 per day, except Sundays,

Especial To The DAILY WORKER)
JERSEY CITY, N. j., Feb. IT,
The strike of the 400 Hudson Bdue-
ward bus drivers in progress for the
last thirteen days was ended this
afternoon by the signing Of a three
year wage contract. The drivers are
to get $44 weekly for the first year
and s45 week the next two years.
The settlement of the strike fol-
lowed the presentation of a compro-
mise plan by President Joseph Payton
of the Hudson County Boulevard
Commission. The strikers had been
asking for S45 weekly while the
bosses had refused to pay more than
S42.5O.
Return To Work.
After the formal signing of the
agreement it was announced that the
workers will be back to their posts
at 3:15 tomorrow afternoon.
The first signs that the strike was
nearing its end was seen yesterday
at conference held at the headquar-
ters of the Boulevard Comm'esioY,
where representatives of the workers,
the bosses and the Bouleyara COm-
mission meet.
At this meeting Moses Greenberg,
representing the bus owners, stated
they were willing to pay the workers
S44 this year and $45 in the future.
This was a complete change from
Greenberg's former policy Of stub
bornly insisting that the workers re-
turn at the $42.50 a week rate. Last
Thursday Greenberg went as far as
issuing an ultimatum demanding that
the workers return by Monday at $40
week. His complete change Of tone
now after his clustering remarks Of
last Thursday is looked upon as a vic
tory for the workers.

regular election today for the new
term. The voting will start at noon
and end at 1880 p. NJ, at Bryant
Hail. 42nd st. and Sixth Ave.
Visiting Members"
Brazen interferences in the regular
affairs of a local union are being
used by the right wing, Upon their
insistenco, three vice-presidents, Mol
lie Friedman, S. Greenberg and one
from Philadelphia, are sitting as Wis
iting members of the election objec-
zion committee in order to give the
right wing group in the local a ma
jority on that committee.
There is no provision in the consti-
tuition of the l. L. e. W. which gives
appointees OF Sigman such rights,
but what is q constitution when it
interferes with Sigman's policies.
This action Of Sigman created a
furor among the members and un-
usual participation in the elections is
expected.
Full Progressive Ticket.
The progressives in the local who
carried it thru an organization cam
paign strike, winning the 40-hour
week and a 1870 wage increase in d
ten-day strike, have put up a full
ticket for the various officers and
are confident of victory.
The usual bunk is spread by the
right wing group that the strike was
failure, that the left wing admin
stration spent too much money, that
the organization campaign which
brought the membership of the local
from 1000 to 1900 was a joke, etc.,
fake issues of Communism were also
used, the same as the bosses do. The
brisk campaign of the progressives
debunked this silly propaganda.
