He exhibits 1t as soul-force, creative

once how little is expressed by 8 census

able personal conviction, inVincible

Love alone understands love-" de-
clares Toyohiko Kagawa. God re-
yeals Himself to me cnly when 1 will
to love.
Apart from Love there is no revela-
ton. Seek not for God in books, nor
within the structure of matter.
God is, indeed, not to be sought for:
He Is to be loved
He who would hear the voice Of
God should love.
I'm Love only do worship God.
"All forms are but appendages. Tenn
pies, shrines. churches. creeds. baptism,
the holy communion, the Scriptures, the
hymns-alI these circle about Love.
They are not God. Love alone is
salvation.
mo sects there are in Love. Bud
dhist, Mohammedan, ChriStian-theSe
are not Loves divisions. Love knows
how to embrace, but not to differenttate.
Love removes all the drosS from
man, and saves all. Love Is the ulti-
mate religion.
Classify me not by creed; belong
to nothing but Love!
Jesus it was who taught that 1t
should BE- so"
A 4O-page sketch of the author is
prefixed written by Eleanor M. Hinder
and Helen F.. Topping. This Is neces-
sity,. for Toyohiko Kagawa Is just be-
ginning to be publicized in America.
The late Emile Coue was known and
loved throughout France years before
the average person in the United States
had even heard his name.
Perhaps the same fate is in store for
Kagawa, we do not know. We have
presented enough of his words to show
the reader here. we believe, that this
man has a message for those who are
willing to- receive 1t.
If he shall not convince others, this
is nothing new, for that is the fate of
all men and books with messages. But
there is something craven, cowardly,
in the average acceptance Of Chris
tianity.
We are afraid to speak the word
Love" and that is the fine thing about
this Japanese He not only is not
afraid. he is proud to utter it. To him
it means nothing namby-pamby, but
something virile, alive, adventurous
This curious book considers love in
all its phases, from the lowest to the
highest; 1t reveis In economics, psychoi-
ogy and social service; it breaks into
rhapsody at the end of every chapter.
This is its strength. Whatever one
may think Of it, one must feel. at the
end that he has met man. The man
may be right or wrong, but his convic-
ton is tremendous.
On the mechanical side, Love the
Law of Life is tastefully bound and
well printed In the size Of type which
we would like to see made standard by
law.
We are getting tired of paying SIS for
a book; here is good one for So. and
as such We commend it to sill readers
who want their moneys worth in more
ways than one.

Over the South Pole.
They're Off

They're on!
After many weary months Of prepa-
ration and waiting, the dramatic sud-
denn-ss of Byrd's start on his dash
across the South Pole rivals the spec
tacular aspects of the flight itself.
Down there at the other end of the
world. literally the loneliest place on ths
face Of the earth. men have been work.
ing to assure the success Of the ven-
ture that began about half past TIN
O'Clock last evening, when many Wash
ingtonians were seeking the safety of
sleep and rest after the hazards OF a
modern Thanksgiving day. Radio
stories Of their adventures have given
us picture of their daily existence that
familiarity has made almost prosaic.
Now the time of waiting has passed.
At 3:29 O'Clock yesterday afternoon
1929 pm. our time-under weather
conditions that were perfect, the big
three-mctored plane carrying Byrd, Bal
chen, June and Mckinley swept across
the snow of the airport at Little
America" and took the air. Before the
adventure lag course Of sbout 500
miles to the South Pole, then 800 miles
back again, a course OF at least 1900
miles to fly over the silent, icy peaks
and valleys of the Antarctic.
AS The Star goes to press the bull
letins from the radio of the plane indi-
cate that the goal has been reached, the
South Pole crossed, and the plane is
winning its way back to the relatively
populous settlement of Little america.
Another chapter has been written IN
the history of world conquests.
Byrds expedition, the most care
fully planned and adequately equipped
of any previous expeditions, has had
more tangible aims than those that lie
in flying an airplane over the mystical
spot that designates the bottom Of the
world. Men have reached that spot
before under far more hazardous and
dificult conditions than those en-
countered by Byrd and his companions
today. The flight of the airplane has
come merely as q picturesque and strik-
ing climax to the less gIamorous but
more valuable work Of mapping and
scientific research that has accom-
psnied preparations for the take-of.
But in winging his way over the South
Pole Byrd and his companions are doing
more than establishing another record.
They are making Photographic record
Of his undertaking. They are attempt
ing to find out more concerning the
extent Of mountain ranges seen by Capt.
Roald Amundsen, running toward the
Weddell Sea; to learn whether high
land can be seen on the other side Of
tIae Pole, and to make surveys with the
aerial camera of unknown territory.
Coming back from the Pole the plan
is now to land at the airplane base pre-
viously established at the southern front
of the barrier and to refuel before re-
turning to Little America.
We cannot weigh the full value Of this
epic flight today. Time will write 1t
down as a melodramatic lark, or as the
DISAPPEARANCE of the last frontier.

Royalty Bred Sheep
Imported by Kentucky
From the Lexington Leader.

From the Lexington Leader.
Kentucky is already out in front as a
producer of the best lambs Her pres
tige will be much increased by the i'm
portation Of royalty bred stock from
England, which is now taking place. r.
G. Miller Of the College of Agriculture
has recently returned to this country
after purchasing some of the choicest
specimens from the best flocks in that
country. These have been chosen from
the Kings Sandringham flock, the ffocks
OF Lady Ludlow. Lord Derby, Sir Jere-
niah Coleman, Lady Fitzgerald, Col.
Sofer Whitburn, Walter Langmead and
others.
Among the individuals selected in or
der to improve Kentucky's stock we're
some from pens which won first, third,
fourth and fifth prizes at the English
Royal Show. Choice eve and ram
lambs were chosen in ell cases. This
new infusion of the best blood will have
q decided effect. The fiocks on the
various farms to which these animals
go will be improved, and gradually this
blue blood will inffltrate into other
focks throughout the State.
The fact that Mr.. Camden, Mr.. Hin
ton, Mr.. Gaines, Mr. Belknap and other
breeders Of fine sheep have taken this
step will influence others to follow their
example. Blood counts. It pays to have
only the best animals that can be OBJ
tanned in starting flock or in improv-
ing its quality. Low-grade sheep and
cattle are not sound investments. The
best is. none too good for Kentucky.
This State should become a leader in
live stock breeding. No other region is
better suited to the industry so far as
climate and soil and water are con-
cerned.

Hazardous Occupations
Find Plenty of Workers

From the Utica Observer Dispatch.
The window washers of New York
City went on strike, and again one is
reminded. not that workingmen still

work at the most hazardous occupations
for livelihood. It is only when they
strike that one hears much about win
dow washers. So one Is startled to
learn that in the last 10 years 78 win

was killed only week before the walk

Yet there appears to be no scarcity

Marriage and Publicity.

From the cave-man's procedure Of
knocking a woman over the head with
a stone club, thus making her his mate,
to the modern. up-to-dste wedding in
an airplane followed by parachute
jumps to earth by bride and groom is
a far cry. Yet the barbsriSm of the
latter is evident. though perhaps some
what refined. The cave-man formula
was in accord with the times, and so
is the airplane wedding in tune with
the period.
The airplane wedding performed yes
terday over Roosevelt Field, near Eew
YORK, was staged with fun regard for
publicity. Camera men were at hand
to take countless photographs, still
and motion, of the take-off and the
successive landings by parachute Of the
bride, the groom and the be9t man.
The stunt" was well done, without a
hitch. There was just one flaw in the
program. The wedding ceremony was
not broadcast from the air by radio.
Had that been done no detail of mo-
dernity would have been missing.
To those who deplore this sort OF
thing, this utilization Of marriage rites
for sensationaHsm and publicity, 1t may
be said that It has been going on for
a long, long time. Elaborate ceremonies
with lavish displays of flowers and
gowns and long lines of attendants and
squads of clergy are Of the attention

Patriotism Explains 20q
Clemenceasl's Actions
From the Baltimore EVENING sun. "

From the Baltimore EVENING sun. q
For the moment, at least. France is
secure. The Tiger could afford to die.
Patriotism is the answer to all ques-
tions about Georges Clemenceau. 1t is
the reason why he did not die minor
French politician, hardly known beyond
the confines of his own department..
Perhaps 1t is also the reason why he
did not become the greatest statesman
of the modern world. It is the ex-
PLANTATION of his self1ess devotion to one
ideal. It is the excuse for his ruthless
disregard of all other ideals. 1t is the
keystone Of his career, and the keynote
OF his character.
It was obviously his motivating force
at that great moment soon after his
assumption of power when he submitted
himself to the questioning of all fac
tions, and returned to all their qiles-
tionS one answer, 1T would 90 on with
the war" What would he do If Verdun
surrendered? If Paris fell? If the
allies western front broke? If the
British quit? That monotoncGIS reit-
eTation, "I would go on with the war"
became at last impressive, then tre-
n1endous. France began to realize that
he had been driven to the Pyrepees:
and the realization gave her strength
beyond comprehension.
Patriotism of this type is supremely
valuable only in supreme crisis. What
Clemenceau had done for France prior
to 1914 is of highly dubious value He
had filled the land with strife. He had
gone on with the war throughout his
career in politics, for making war was
his trade, and he knew no other
Violence was ever his technique, and
it was his good fortune, rather than his
merit, that the moment came when
violence alone could save France. But
come 1t did. and that moment made
Clemenceau immortal
But if his statecraft is remarkable
only In its single minded devotion to
force as the only argument, the man
himself possessed qualities which, while
they did not make him great, adorned
him after he had become great. The
clear vision, the blistering wit. the in
credible mental agility and the broad
range of interests which were his gave
his personality saltiness which occu-
pies the minds of many men to the
exclusion OF his weigf1tier qualities,
Baltimore, for example, remembers
Clemenceau the man much more clearly
than Clemenceau the statesman: and all
the world remembers his championship
OF the impressionists as evidence that
he could peep into the world of art,
and his championship of Dreyfus as
evidence that he loved justice. A man
Of science, yet cultivated enough to
have an intelligent opinion Of painting;
patriot, yet not chauvinistic enough
to endure the mockery of Justice; essen
TALLY brutal, yet capable of charming
social contacts. Clemenceau captured
the fancy of the world by his modi-
ffcations.
It is not beyond belief that our
grandchildren may regard as enyiatJle
the generation that knew him.

Wines and Beer Plan
Cited for its 'ENOyeIlv'
rom the Arkansas Democrat.

From the Arkansas Democrat.
A bill to legalize IL per cent wine
and per cent beer and a resolution
providing for secret ballots on the
measure in the House and Senate have
been introduced by Representative
Bloom, Democrat, OF New York Citv.
The proposal for light wines and beer
would amend the Vo'stead act w de-
inning the suggested percentages as
being non on-intoxicating.
Mr.. Blooms epocf1at idea springs from
the belief that mo one who is upon a
footing of personal acquaintance with
any number of Senators and Repre-
sentativeS can be ignorant of the fact
that many of them, perhaps a ma jority.

convictions" on liquor questions. This

Mr.. Bloom doesn't dispute the obli-
CATION OF solons to their constituents,
but he believes that this duty is rather
negatived than observed by them.
The suggestion deserves the atten-
tion which its novelty will win. But
that Is its principal virtue. We are
not so sure that majority Of Con-
gress favors modification of the Vol
stead act. In fact, the majority prob
ably believes as many millions of Amer
leans believe-prohibitio is a flne
thing for the other fellow. Further
more, secrecy is repugnant to John
Smith, American. when il is praeticed
by his Congressman. Executive" ses-
sicns already are too numerous to suit
him.
