Byron Anderson, Bluffton post
office clerk could hardly believe his
eyes the other day when Herman
Neff, Bluffton college foreign student,
mailed letter home to Regensburg,
| Austria.
Anderson was stationed in Regens-
burg for four months in 1916 with
the Arrny's 290th engineers. The
town, on the Danube river near the
Bavarian frontier, is in the u. S.
occupation zone.
Neff says that though the natives
dislike the idea of occupation by
troops of a foreign power, they pre-
fer the Americans to the Russians
and are fairly content with the pres
ent situation, realizing that if the
Americans leave the Russians will
move in.

INDUSTRIAL
JUSTICE
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS,

The question of strikes may,
for a long time be the subject of
difficulties.
Strikes are of two causes. One
is the extreme sharpness and ra-
pidity of the capitalists and man
ufacturers, the other the excuses,
the avidity and ill-will of the
workmen and artisans. Abdul
BAHIA
But the principal cause of in
dustrial dissention lies in the laws
of the land, for they lead to a
small number of individuals ac-
cumulating great fortunes, while
great masses Of people are ex-
tremely poor, almost to the state
of restitution.
A couple of years ago there was
a book published by Kirtley +.
Mather Professor of Geology in
Harvard University, entitle d
Enough and to Spare. The book
contains about $50 pages, and
seems to be a geological survey Of
the world, If his statements are
true, apparently there is enough
natural resources in this world
that every man, woman and child
should have Enough and to

err organization and distribution of

SO vast that it staggers the i'm
Imagination. The increase of the
power and productivity of man
during the twentieth century up
to the present time has been very
great No inauguration can ia

Abdu'l-Baha, the great world
teacher from Persia, who made
public addresses from coast to

in 1912, summed up the solution
of this vexing problem as follows:
