The boys and girls of the labor classes of this city protested against the drinking of alcohol recently in a large demonstration held in the hall of the municipality, known aa the "Stadthalle. More than a thousand had come after a hard day's work in the factories from all parts of Berlin, sacrificing a free evening to support temperance. Every chair of the huge hall was taken, and many were compelled to stand in the aisles. With eager faces they listened to the speakers and thanked them, with the spontaneous and hearty applause youth alone can give. Some might think alcohol gave strength and energy. Dr. Juliusbur-ger- , one of the speakers declared. But this was one of the treacherous effects of the use of alcohol. While it created the feeling of greater energy and strength, in reality it lessen them. Work might seem to flow more smoothly, but it also became less accurate; the hand might appear to move with greater ease, but this lightness often Involved great risks when working in the factory. Dr. Juliusburger .also warned against the belief that only heavy intoxication was to be despised but that moderate'' drinking did no harm. It is not the heavily intoxicated person, but the one who has just drunk a little more than he ran endure, who is most open to temptations he said. Special stress Is laid on this point by the Workmens Temperance union. Our Slogan: interest. When a county auditor finds that public material, public labor and public time, paid for by the taxpayers, is used by county officers, or with their knowledge and consent, for private benefit, it would seem that this should be sufficient evidence of misconduct to warrant action by any law enforcement officer in keeping with his oath to uphold the law and protect the rights of the people. Does the county attorney proreed upon the theory that public: officials, like kings of old, can do no wrong!

In the midst of the Ruhr conflict they tried to build bridges of friendship between France and Germany. They invited German peace friends to Paris and went themselvea to Germany in order to speak to the German people. Even M. Bulsaon himself took part in this trip, concluding his address to the German people with these words: 'There is something which stands above France, above Germany, above any nation, and that is humanity. But there is one thing which is above humanity. That is justice, which gets its most perfect expression when developing itself In human brotherhood." Turning to Ludwig Quldde, Professor Sting refers to him as "a student of history. In his youth he was eagerly occupied by historical writing and research. He was soon, however, driven into international politics and into work for peace. His first publication was Caligula, a little pamphlet of 15 or 16 pages in the form of a historically correct description of the Emperor Caligula and the Caesar obsession which possessed him. In fact. It was a lucid and piercing ridicule or emperor Wilhelm II. Herr Quldde has taken part In a aeries of peace conferences, has been present at Interparliamentary conferences and has written a number of pamphlets. His activity as a whole expresses two qualities which are of great value, independence and courage." Professor Stang ended by saying that the Nobel committee this year gives its prize to two noble and Illustrious personalities within the peace movement.

When we left Brownsville we dipped low, skimming the surf almost from an altitude of only 300 or 400 feet When we passed Tampico we hit cloud banks and rose 5500 feet, finally to 11,500 feet."
