Japan Shows Traditional Spirit

ardently desires economy. It would look
with dread upon an ambitious Ameri-
can naval building program. which
would In turn oblige the Japanese gov
eminent to do O lot Of building In an
swer to it. In other words, the Japa-
nese do not want and could not endure
an untimed financial competition with
the United States.
It remains true Of course, that Japa-
nese will not yield to the British and
American idea about the abolition of
the submarine. British and American
ofhcialS tend to maintain that the sub
marine has been rendered almost use
less for combat against armed naval
fleets. On this point our Government
and theirs will continue to differ. They
will also continue to differ somewhat
on the point Of battleships. The Japa-
neSe tend toward diSparaging the per-
manent need for battleships. It is
thought here that they might some day
be willing to give up battleShipS alto
gether. We. on the other hand, 1t is
thought. will never consent to give up
battleshipS as long as the British mer-
chant Meet Of large ships Is so much
greater than ours.
There are differences then between
the American naval point Of view and
the Japanese naval point of view, but
our officials are considerably more OPP
timistic now than they were a week ago
as to the possibility that the two points
OF view can be made to arrive at q mu-
tual adjustment in treaty.

element In one of the subways under
the East River, when a short circuit
caused the sudden stoppage of q
crowded train with the emission Of the
fumes Of burning insulation and fusing
metal throwing the 1 500 passengers into
q panic, This misadventure, though not
productive Of fatalities. caused the hos
pital treatment of nearly twoScore. with
as many more previously disconnected
by either gas or crushing. That hap
pening was still being actively discussed
when q third accident occurred. A North
River ferry boat bearing over seven hun
bred passengers was rammed in mid
stream by heavy car float. All the pas
sensers were taken of the sorely stricken
ferry and nobody was lost or injured. 1t
was rather remarkable that no casual
ties occurred. About half of the people
were newly arrived immigrants who had
a short time before been released from
Ellis Island.
These three mishaps, two on the
water and one under the water. involved
altogether over 5000 people, and save for
the comparatively inconseQuential gass-
ing Of about forty Of them and few
scratches and bruises they are all as well
today as before this strange sequence OF
misfortunes. 1t Is to be doubted whether

happenings that call for big headlines
in the newspapers are tragedies. Some
times the losses Of life are reckoned by
the dozen. This time, in circumstances
that might have made any one of these
three accidents CHASTITY tragedy. all
that results is the loss Of some clothing
and some cuticle and few cases Of sore

what popular Imagination, ever in
trisued by the mystical. adds to the
facts. A bear, q hog or o maniac is
transformed into q demon and the
story grows In horror as 1t passes from
mouth to mouth. Folks still have fears
for which demons are appropriate SYM
bols, and the material from which de-.
mons may be created is everywhere
in the woods and in the darkness.
The excitement In the New Jersey
community win die q natural death
in few days. At the worst, it will
have a limited. spread to other COM
munities. The rest Of the country,
which has no particular and immediate
need for a demon, will laugh at the
story. But one 10 tempted to recall the
words Of Sir James George Frazer in
his classical study Of superstition and
magic, The Golden Bough:
We seem to move on thin crust
which may at any moment be rent by
the subterranean forces slumbering De-

The Jersey Devil.

The police force of Woodbury. Heights,
N. j., assisted by an armed posse, is
combing the nearby countryside for
mysterious shaggy black monster with
pigs snout," which has a strange
moaning cry, kills swine and chases
children-in short, for . demon.
The town is in an uproar, says an
account In the New York Times. It
seems that a number of farmers have
been losing their hogs and have found
tracks Of four-footed, four-toed crea-
ture leading from the pens. And q
few days ago two school children, in
vestigating q moaning cry in q thicket
were chased by the mysterious creature
described above. Many in the town
says the correspondent, are convinced
that q creature of the Prince Of Dark
ness has been let loose in their midst
that the famous black winged, fire.
breathing Jersey devil" Of more than
decade ago has returned to haunt
them.
What actually has happened probably
could be explained simply enough Per-
haps q black bear Is loose in the woods.
During the past few years roadside re-
freshment stands have used bear cubs
to attract trade and wild animal deal
ers have done considerable business in
this line. That one of these should
have escaped and even grown to matur-
ity in the woods without being observed
hitherto is by no means impossible.

Inadequate Illumination.

No one who has occasion TO visit the
Union Station can contend that 1t u .
well lighted public structure. Contrast
ed with the Pennsylvania Terminal or
the Grand Central Station In New York,
it suffers greatly by comparison IN this
respect with either, and doubtless does
with similar great terminals elsewhere.
The great central inside waiting room
is lighted to q degree OF tnSumciency
whereby those who, waiting for trains,
purchase newspapers are put to 1t to
read them. Practically the only way
in which news print can be readily
perused Is for the reader to stand some
where along the wall; most Of those
seated on the benches, wherever placed,
cannot possibly accomplish the feat
without serious eyestrain.
The outer concourse, which provides
access to the numerous train gates, Is
76O feet in length by 100 feet In width.
Its dimensions are truly noble. Yet its
vaulted ceiling is lighted by only about
seventy electric bulbs. Their individual
power may be great, but 90 high are
most Of them and 90 sparsely placed
that they seem to give but pin pficks
Of light.
1t should be remembered that to many
thousands Of persons this outer con-
course and the waiting room beyond
offer their FIRST glimpse Of their Ma
tional Capital, and few will deny that
it is not an uplifting one. On the con-
crete floor of the former it Is dificult
to recognize q relative, let alone q
friend, at q distance Of nifty feet. which
initiates against both incoming pas
sengers and the friends who are on
hand to meet them. Not only is the
inner chamber insuff1ciently Illuminated,
but it Is often kept at too high tenn
perature. On an unSeasonably warm
night recently q wall thermometer
therein, situated ct q distance Of many
feet from the nearest operating radia-
tor, registered seventy-seven degrees.
The illumination behind the decora-
tive statues that stand high Is an inside
frieze is beautiful, impressive and prob
ably adequate. There are certain par
ticular utilities, places and objects which
are we'll lighted. But the general degree
Of brilliancy in and around this vast
and handsome building is frequently
and justly criticized. That the Ofilcials
in charge thereof may take steps to
remedy this regrettable situation Is q
hope frequently expressed, but so far
unfulfllled.

"PEACE AND GOOD WILL"
BY THE RIGHT REV JAMES Z. FREEMAN D. D, IL. D.
Bishop Of Washington

, Even lives that have become hardened,
like that OF old Scrooge in Dickens
Christmas Carol, are rendered soft and
responsive, and increasingly men be-
come more and more responsive to an
extended practice Of charity. That this
spirit reflects that Of the great Master
of men is quite evident. Unlike other
holidays in the calendar, it is not ma
tional but universal in its observance
It was during the critical days Of the
World War that contending armies re-
fused to carry on the struggle on Christ
mas day. While in o fine sense it In a
family day and marks the closer knit
ting Of domestic ties, in O larger sense
1t stands for that universal family that
comprehends all races, kindreds and
peoples. Good will Is its supreme de-
sign-good will that dicloseS itself in
all human relations, whether at home
or abroad. There should be no strife
between such. There may be differ
ences in traditions. backgrounds, habits
and methods of living, but these do not
preclude that good will that issues in
understanding and peace. Most of the
worlds Ills, whether in the narrow cir
Gle Of our immediate family and social
life or in the broader sphere Of our
world action, grow out Of an unwilling
ness to exercise good will or to recon-
Gle differences through an effort to
see the others point Of view. We can
trace most Of the tragedies Of life to
this cause. II this latest Christmas day
could be distinguished by the forgetting
Of old differences, old rivalries and ami
mosities; in fine, II we could clean the
slate and begin all over again, we should
solve many a domestic, social, industrial
and international dificulty and begin
upon q new basis that would guarantee
10 us happiness and peace. The follow
erS Of the Nazarene have never been so
urgently called to stand for His high
claims as in this present age. With
the memory Of the great struggle still
in mind we must put behind all our
paper agreements, however valuable
they may be. the spirit Of good will.
We must begin to set forward, and set
forward persistently, those deep princi-
pies Of life that He proclaimed and for
which He gave Himself even unto
death.
There Is no right thinking man or
woman today who has rightly con-
ceived the Christmas spirit but must
give freshened demonstration of that
spirit Of good will that shall make the
whole world live in the atmosphere of
continuing and unbroken Christmas
tide. We give our greeting with all our
heart: "A merry and blessed Christ
maStide, rich with the favor of q selflesS
generosity and distinguished by . new
expression of good will TO men the
world over"

Tert: peace to men Of good ,OiH."

st. Luke, ii.14.
At the outbreak of the World War O
distinguished American bishop asked me
the pertinent question, What are you
going to preach about on Christmas
day? It will certainly not be the theme
of the angels message" assured him
that even in the face of a world catas.
trophe would still adhere to the CEN
trail message Of the greatest day in the
Christian year.
The great World War has passed and
Is now but q memory. The intervening
IL years have certainly registered some
progress, notably this past year, in the
direction Of peace to men of good will.
Good will Is one of the essentials Of
peace, whether in the family, the world
Of industry or in the larger sphere Of
international relationships. It has taken
nearly 20 centuries to compel men to
recognize the intimacy Of the ties that
bind them together. Hitherto geo.
graphical boundaries, racial peculiarities
and other points Of difference have
seemed to render impossible that kind
Of comradeship that issues in better
understanding and finer agreements.
Even within our own borders we have
witnessed at times the expression of that
which tended to separate men and COM
munities into antagonistic groups. We
are by no means without these elements
in our corporate life today. There are
those whose insular ways and habits OF
thinking and living contribute to dl-
visions and classiflcations that are I'M
worthy and inimical to our largest
interests. Now and again situation
arises that compels us to realize more
fully our solidarity and our essential
unity.
Christmas day more than any other
in the calendar stands for the high and
holy things of peace. The coming Of
Him who was heralded as 1.-The Prince
Of Peace" uShered in a new conception
Of human relationships. His whole
ministry and teaching were designed
to effect better conditions While He
gave men q new vision of that which
lies beyond the outmost horizon, He
dealt specifically with life here and
now. To His mind the terms "alien" and
foreign" were unknown. He saw life in
its fullness, and He was unrestricted in
His teaching and philosophy by geo.
graphical, racial or other boundaries
and limitations. Born into q Jewish
household and accredited to q people
distinguished for its insularity, He
brought o message and presented an
outlook upon life that was inclusive
and timeless in its designs and pur-
poses. Christmas day has come to
mean one of merry-making and the
expression of o fine generosity. 1t Ia q
great holiday and its spirit differs from
that Of any other day in the year.

A Reminder of Valley Forge.

Barring couple OF Ice storms Wash
ington has enjoyed comparatively mild
weather thus far this Winter. Doubt
less, however, piercing cold-even lower
temperatures than at present-and
uncomfortable snow, sleet and slush will
be on had in the not far-distant flu
ture. At MIcn times there is much COM
plant ever automobile radiators that
fail to function; over the necessity Of
wearing arctics; over inef1icient heating
plants and tardy deliveries.
The cUmplainants are reminded-and,
at tine same time, urged to cheer UP
that last Thursday, December 10. marked
the 152nd anniversary Of the occupancy
by George Washington and his faithful
little army of the famed Winter quar-
tiers camping ground known then and
today as Valley Forge, and now pre-
served for all time as q park wherein
Americans can renew their patriotism.
OF the 1900 Continental soldiers
who accompanied Gen. Washington TO
that spot, not far from the City of
Brotherly Love, whence a good watch
could be maintained on Gen. Howe,
wintering there in perfect comfort, no
fewer than 5000 were UNIT for duty
when they arrived, due either to COM
plete lack Of footgear or to other de-
plorable causes. AS rapidly as possible
they felled trees and constructed several
hundred inadequate and wooden huts,
chinked with clay and matched with
twigs. In these poor shelters, often for
long periods flreless, and often with lit
tie or nothing to eat, they spent the ex-
traordinarily severe Winter.
Gen. Washington himself lived in q
tent until Christmas eve. on which date
he occupied q small house vacated by
Its owners for his use His wife joined
him in February and spent the re-
mainder Of the Winter. Doubtless he
deplored being housed better than his
men, but he realized the necessity there
of for his household and his aides.
Naked and starving" were the words
he used in writing Of his men in Feb
ruary. AS q result of their privations
and Of the outbreak of infectious dis
eases, 30 many died or were invaded
| that the command ut one time Is
thought to have included few more
than 5000 electives, and Of these many
left bloody footprints on the snow as
they drilled.
The Army stuck 1t out; accomplished
| its purpose of checking Howe; emerged
in the Spring, through absorption of the
teachings Of Baron Steuben and others
more efiicient, although perhaps nc
better equipped force. On May 8, 1873
the troops were reviewed and, with
many . cheer, news Of the French al
lance, turning point Of the war, was
celebrated. Next they joyously repos-
sesSed Philadelphia.
The necessity for any such camp a.
Valley Forge has probably passed for
ever as far as American troops or Ameri-
cans in general are concerned. The
need for Americans to meet situations
| full Of discomfort and privation will
probably never pass, and the spirit oil
their forefathers is commended to them
Most men, confronted by the alternative
OF bloody battle or f1ve months to bt
spent rs these courageous volunteers
spent theirs, would unhesitatingly
choose the former.

Three Close Slaves From Tragedy.

New York has had several thrills dur
ing this past week, quite exciting expert
ences, with great possibilities for
tragedy, but by q remarkable coinci-
dence Of chance not costing q single life.
There was first the collision just on the
lishtships Of two steamships, bearing
altogether more than seven hundred
persons, al Of whom escaped without
injury. though one of the ships was lost.
Then a few hours later came an ex-

and education of users of the high
ways to observe caution. Nearly 40 per
cent Of the fatalities at railroad grade
crossings last year were due to motor
lists driving their cars into the side of
trains; in one case, q man drove into
the thirty-seventh car of q passing
freight train.
vored by the conference, 1t was devel-
oped last week. with proper distance,
Warning signs in the middle of wide
highways supplemented by q sign on
each side were favored.
Improved statistical reports also were
urged by committeeman so that causes
OF accidents may be analysed in order
to evolve preventive measures. There
Is woeful lack OF sound statistical
data on accidents at highway inter-
sections; information from steam rail-
roads Is complete, but from electric
lines 1t Is meager.
Il II \
One of the matters stressed by the
committees last week was proper in
spection Of vehicles by their owners or
operators. Too few motor cars are
inspected at regular intervals to dts
cover developing defects, 1t Is believed.
A large proportion of accidents are
due to mechanical collapses which could
have been avoided by an inspection.
The confusing differences in regula-
tions as to signaling, turning, speed,
etc, continue a major problem, and for
this reason new emphasis Is to be
put on the, uniform traff1c code as
well as other features Of that set of
principles. The conference, which has
ofYlceS with the Chamber of Commerce
Of the United States, was asked last
week to distribute copies of the code
and model municipal ordinance, a
special committee being named to
strengthen certain classes.
