s'THE PERILS OF CLEAVAGE"
BY THE RIGHT REV. JAMES FREEMAN d. IL. D. D. c. L.
BISHOP OF WASHINGTON.

recent letter from keen observer
VINO had been visiting certain parts OF
Europe contains this striking and omi-
nous sentence: "a line of cleavage is
opening throughout the world and
throughout Christendom, the effects OF
which cannot be dimly foreseen." He was
startled by the mighty changes that have
Vltally affected certain nations and peo-
pies. changes that have created deep
cleavages between those who hitherto
have enjoyed strong and seemingly un-
breakable fellowship.
The most ominous phase Of this con-
fused period is growing class and racial
consciousness. We talk much OF the
good neighbor spirit" while we permit
ourselves to be drawn into insular groups
that tend to sharp divisions and ungener-
ouS clasSlf1cations. Up to recent years
we were cultivating assiduously the spirit
OF tolerance. Fraternity and a generous
consideration OF political, racial and re-
Hgious differences were making substan-
tlal progress among us. Our country was
polyglot in character, a blend of Old
World races, and it constituted much of
our genius. Slowly but surely we were
being drawn together by the ties OF COM
radeShip and good will. We deprecated
the bitter spirit that characterized racial
and religious hatreds manifest in other
lands, We refused to be infected by a
virus so utterly out Of consonance with
Christian ideals and principles. One
splendid organization was doing much to
bring together Jew, Catholic and Protest
ant and the spirit of real ccmradeship
was growing apace. Suddenly and within
the space OF few years, new and malev-
olent forces have conspired to create
new cleavages. and political and religious
bias has become dangerously evident in
our national household. Unless checked
it will develop a condition fraught with
the gravest perils to our security and
peace.
Racial. religious and industrial rivaIries

naval rivalries. They are born of the
same evil spirit. They belong to an age
where feudalism and the clan spirit were
dominant. issuing in strife that was
ruthless and barbaric. II the political
and economic forces of America are bent
on promoting class and sectional and
party hatred, 1t Is time that the religious
forces of every name became militant and
aggressive in pressing the high clairfs
to which they are committed and for
which they must resolutely stand. 1t is
no time to magnify traditions or the
superiority OF our denominational or
sectarian standards. There Is a funda-
mental unity that at any cost must be
preserved.
AS the situation now presents itself. It
would seem TO be those who believe and
oelleVe strongly in moral and religious
convictions and principles, against those

them. Right now the United States
Bureau of Standards is testing various
types Of them to ascertain which is most
suitable.
Following the findings these meters
will be erected in the downtown area
from Seventh street TO Seventeenth
street and from Pennsylvania avenue to
New York avenue. The charge will be
five cents an hour at two hundred and
seventy of the three hundred and ten
places. At the remaining positions,
around banks, the charge will be five
cents for twenty minutes.
According to Traffic Director Van
Duzer, these meters will not contribute
revenue for the District. They will
merely pay for themselves and their
upkeep. About sixty cities have installed
them at the present time and more are
in contemplation. Only one city has
taken them out after installation and
trial. That is the record for the past
three years, the duration Of operation.

Power for Defense.

An armor for the heel of Achilles is
being prepared by committee of
military and civil experts which is of
particular Importance to the National
Capital
The committee is drawing up a COM
prehensive plan for linking fifteen
strategic cities by power lines in event
OF war. Thus, in case of a disruption
OF electric service at one point, power
could be obtained from the other units
in the network. And Washington is the
bottleneck OF power in one of the most
strategic points in the East Except for
several comparatively small sources,
neither Washington nor Baltimore at
present has any way in which to obtain
large amounts of emergency power.
The event Of . breakdown is not so
remote as to make the problem merely
academic. Since the signing of the
Armistice twenty years ago industry and
transportation have increased their de-
pendence upon electricity. And methods
OF warfare have advanced to a point
where power plants are more vulnerable.
The possibility of bombardment along the
Atlantic seaboard still is remote, but the
danger Of sabotage is not AS the case
stands at the moment. a disruption of
power in Washington, or in Baltimore.

The Militia Armory.

Again the hopes of officials of the
National Guard of the District of Colum-
bia for new armory have been blasted,
thus leaving them where their predeces-
sors started more than a quarter of q
century ago. But, like good soldiers, they
will still carry on, hoping for victory. but
getting their training under the most
trying conditions.
Every time that the militia officials
have gone to Congress with their request
for building which would do justice to
the only Federalized militia in the coun-
try their proposals have been rejected,
for one reason or another. Even at the
last session, the House knocked the
project out OF the District appropriation
bill. 1t was restored by the Senate, but
was again rejected by the House.
The militia officials had hoped that
they might not have to make their
annual try for an armory before Con-
gress, and chose the p w. A. route.
Their hopes were built very high during
the negotiations. with the resultant
let-down.
Only the effective training as soldiers
enables them to take these defeats year
after year without the loss of morale.

causes wonder as to how such an efficient
organization is maintained
This lack OF adequate quarters is
aggravated by the fact that the Guard
officials may face dispossess order at
any time. The site on which the build
ing stands Is to be used, at some time,
for the new Public Library Funds have
been appropriated for the drawing OF
plans. Should Congress provide for
library construction, the Guard would
have to move promptly without waiting
for the provision of new quarters.
1t Is regretted that the funds have
been refused by p w. A. officials. There
is probably nothing left for the Guards
men now but to appeal again to Congress.
1t is hoped that the legislators at the
next session will take cognizance of the
seriousness Of the situation and provide
funds with which at least to make a
start on new structure.
