mans with its mighty climax: Il am
persuaded that neither death, nor life,
nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers,
nor things present, nor things to come,
nor height nor depth, nor any other
creature shall be able to separate us
from the love of God, which is in Christ
Jesus our Lord"
Thus in memorable survey did great
leaders of the Nation give their reverent
judgment, submitted with the fine dis
elimination of deeply reflective thinkers.
That high-minded laymen have broad
knowledge of religious literature and
that they think deeply of the Scriptures
and are notably capable of apprais-
ing the mightiest truths ever given to
men is abundantly evident, especially in
such days as these. 1t may be that the
laity are less articulate in expressing
their religious convictions than could be
desired. Nevertheless, there is deeper
undercurrent OF religious feeling,
stronger and more deeply fixed devotion
to eternal truths than commonly is
recognized. Oftentimes it takes difficult
expression, but that reflective men recog-
nize the indispensableness of religious
faith and the supremacy of Jesus Christ
is widely true, never more so than today.
The pulpit and the church have their
necessary place. but the cause of Chris
tianity is strongly stabilized and set for
ward by those who unobtrusively hold
to way of life that is in consonance
with the Christian ideal life. There is
an expression Of religious conviction
that even in its modesty is mighty IN
persuasion.
Among the most stimulating and i'm
pressive OF the religious forces of our
| time are the men and women who, when
critical situation arises, stand four
square for Christian principles and
| Christian ideals. The Book of books
| with its central figure still commands
| the place of primacy when men and
women are perplexed by the problems of
| life.

Tokio's Two Voices

Official utterances from Toxic are
strangely at variance these days.
The contrast is exemplified by two
statements made within twenty four
hours of each other, yet strikingly
different in tenor.
The first >of these is an address
made by Premier General TOTO. reit-
Grating the governments deter
mination to press forward unswerv-
ingly with Japan's plans for its East
Asian "Co-prosperity SPHERE" "a
euphemism for japanese domination
of the entire Far East. Stating that
Japan unquestionably stands at the
crossroads between an expanding
empire and the status of a second
rate power, General TOTO assured a
select audience of high officials that
there would be no retreat. but that
the path would be trodden by the
entire nation united firmly together
with an iron resolve to overcome any
and all difficulties that may be in
our way" Although he did not
mention Britain or America by name,
General TOTO referred to Japan being
confronted with pressure and OBJ
stacles thrown in our way by coun-
tries of a hostile nature" The i'm
plication was unmistakable, and
every act of the TOTO government
indicates that Japan is preparing for
aggressive action in the near future
Nevertheless, the very next day
after the Premier's fortnight ad-
dress, an "appeasement" note was
sounded by the Japan Times Adver-
tiser. known to be the English
language mouthpiece Of the Foreign
Office Editorially, this newspaper
suggested that Japan is ready to
undertake mediation of the Russo
German war, and that the United
States would be wise in supporting
such move as prelude for general
mediation of the world conflict,
whose continuation spells general
ruin. Japan and the United States,
argued the editorial, are now the
strongest Of the acknowledgement
powers, but both of them are threat
ened with involvement in the conflict,
and in their own selfish interest, each
nation would be wise to join an effort
to bring about peace.
These contrasting voices can mean
only one of two things: Either diff
ference of opinion within the Japa-
nese government or diplomatic
maneuver lacking in sincerity. So
long as the middle of -the-road cabi-
net of Prince Konoye was in Office,
the first hypothesis was tenable.
Indeed, the Foreign Office was known
to contain elements favorable to an
understanding with the English
speaking powers. But the present
government, composed almost ex-
clusively of militarists and imperial
lists, has no such division within its
ranks. Its aggressive aims are clear
The only question is when 1t will
proceed from words and preparations
to action. Therefore, any trial bal
looms foated from semi-official
sources to indicate pacific intentions
should be discounted. To vary the
simile, the stream can rise no higher
than its source

longer Hitler remained undefeated, the
weaker he would become because he
would be using up his resources. Now it
must be realized that the longer Hitler
remains undefeated, the stronger he will
grow.
It is that realization that now is
causing President Roosevelt to bring
pressure for a speed-up in the whole
armament program.
This country has coasted during the
past year, so far as armament goes.
Now the turn seems to be coming.
Ahead is boom in armament industries
and depression for the public as living
standards gradually are adjusted to the
basis Of something that may not be
called war but will look like war.

The Star of November 2, 1891 1T is just
now an interesting fact that the ord

stage of highest efficiency.
THE gun shops at the Washington
Navy Yard are being worked at great
pace. the lathes being kept in motion
IL hours a day The men employed are
divided into three sections and the
system has been so perfected that on
a very short notice the foundry can be
run night and day without cessation,
thus doubling the output. The only
limit to the capacity of the works would
be in the supply of material Yet there
has not been the least trouble so far on
this score" The article goes on to tell
of armor plate tests at Indianhead
made against French plate and American
plate in which the superiority of Amer
ican steel was demonstrated to the great
satisfaction of naval authorities.
A quaint note on national defense IS
also introduced in The Star on October

creating considerable excitement. -
The men are carrying dispatches. and

around Knoxville, Tenn, caused
Miners by the objection of free miners
Riot to the use of conyictS in their
industry. Reprinting a dis
patch from Knoxville, The Star on Octo-
ber 81, 1891, reported: The miners of
the Coal Creek district last night took
the law into their own hands. The
stockade at the Tennessee Mining Co.'S
plant was burned, the convicts turned
loose, given citizens clothes and told to
leave the country. The guards met the
advance with firing and several of the
miners fell They sent force of sharp
shooters in the background and after
several of the guards had been hit, drew
back and made less prominent but no
less effective battle. They were over
powered. however. and soon the victori
Gus miners had entered the field and
driven the guards to their quarters"
Two days later the same tactics were re-
peated at Oliver Springs, 200 convicts
being released and the stockade burned.

raging within the city limits of Chicago,

Police and Fire Department at Grand

hand fight with prairie fires for six
hours yesterday at 92d street east of the
Illinois Central track on Drexel avenue
between 77th and 18th streets. The cause
of the fire - was a spark from pass

Tuesday, November 2, 1891, was an off,
year election day, and The Star of that
-, date was filled with election
I'ee'o"s news and predictions. AL
though readers then could not know it.,
in the light of later events the most i'm
portant election was that for the gover-
norship of Ohio. The Democratic cam
didate was j. E. Campbell and his Re-
publican opponent William Mckinley.
Unquestionably the latter's victory. and
his subsequent good record as Governor
of Ohio, had great deal to do with
his election to the presidency of the
United States flve years later.

American industry and IN the habits OF
American individuals. If the industrial
machine that is grinding out armament
is going to be kept in repair, there won't
be many things left over to sell to the
public.
AS matters now stand, the choice con-
fronting the United States appears to
be this:
Either the country can 60 along as in
the past enjoying itself and hoping that
a victorious Germany will make few de-
mands that cannot be met out OF a
spare time effort
Or, it now is to be necessary to buckle
down in earnest to turn out war goods
in a volume that eventually will inun-
date even the Germans with all the
equipment that they and their con-
quered countries can turn out.
The second alternative is the only one
now open, unless the United States Is
ready to accept the status in the world
of secondary power, operating on rules
made in Germany. Until now, there
had been a widespread notion that the
German war machine would bog down
because it ran out of oil or rubber or
copper or steel or some other commodity.
The comfortable assumption was held
that blockade could defeat Hitler and

great effort to bring his downfall
