TARDY l, Conflict of Interests Producing Dangerous Rift Between England and America By DR. MINOT SIMONS, New York (Unitarian). England and America are drifting into serious and definite opposition over the issue of the freedom of the seas, and war is more than probable unless an agreement is reached between the two countries. It is Lincoln's spirit of frankness and sincerity which speaks both to England and to America the needed word of the hour, "Come out into the open with the issue and settle it now while there is yet time." The conflict between America's insistence upon the free and undis turbed right to navigate the sea in time of war and the British policj of controlling neutral commerce with its opponent has been the underlying cause for the practical nullification of the Washington conference, the failure of the Geneva conference, the launching of this country's huge naval program and the serious difficulties with England in 1915 and 1916. Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler's recent suggestion that the United States agree to recognize a blockade as punishment for an aggressor nation is the most constructive suggestion yet made in an effort to settle the problem. " Actions Refute Charges That Americans Are a Nation of "Dollar Chasers" ' By DR. GUSTAV HESS, Mayor of Wiesbaden, Germany. "Jingoism" and international jealousies are the foundation of the charges that the United States is a nation of "dollar chasers." I know America, for in the dark days that followed November 11, 1918, we had your officers arid soldiers among us, as a part of the army of occupation. In such a position, conquerors and conquered, we could not help but. come to know each other. Dollar chasers? In Germany it is geld, in England it is sterling, in France it is d'or. It is the same wherever you go, but it is in America that we find a great heart, which lights and forgives, which forgives and forgets. You poured out your wealth to the needy and oppressed, and we in Germany benefited. It is so vastly different from what we expected that it was almost beyond our understanding. Your reception of our Bremen flyers was a fine display of friendship. If by our Individual will and faith this ban of selfishness could be circumvented and abolished, there would be no more war, no more forced Impoverishment of the weak, no more beggars with outstretched hands, no more hard-facemisers, no more broken hearts and homes or despairing shames. Instead of being enslaved the world would be free. Our cities and towns permanently from this baneful curse, divorced would be adorned with art. filled with the music of happy voices, where work and worth would lock arms and go rejoicing on the way, while Hps would be rich with words of love and truth and praise. The cruel eyes of greed would be transformed to cheering lights of tender compassion, shining alike on the frail and the strong, Illuminating the dark places with glorious rays of hope and gleaming like friendly lamps all along the roads of life. d p The Hindu dreams of Nirvana, the world-souIn which he hopes one day to lose himself forever in escape from this world of evil flesh and desire. The ascetic Christian believes this life to be preparation for another world, better and purer. Neitszche and Schopenhauer preached the futility find sadness of life as we know it. Not so Judaisni. Recognizing "the world to come," it nevertheless insists on the value of "this world." There is pain here, but there are also blessings, for which we must thank God, and which we must endeavor to use rightly. There is vanity here, but there are also great tasks to be performed, which we must do in strength of soul and sanctity of spirit. The entire elaborated complex of Jewish law, designed to cover almost every hour of the Jew's waking and sleeping, can be explained on no other basis than that a life worth so much legislation must certainly be worth living. These other attitudes toward life, then, are negative. That of Judaism ia positive. Perhaps that explains why the Jew has been able to live under persecution and oppression such as no other people has ever seen, and why in spite of everything he flourishes and is vital today. BLIGHT OF SELFISHNESS first moment you inspect are being contaminated Insidious blight of selfishness, by the summon up all the strength and courage with which you are Infested, and make a valiant fight, ere you fall a destructive prey to one of the most , forces for evil In the world. A vice utterly at variance with the peace and happiness of mankind. It will be found on reflection that selfishness ls at the bottom of the. greater number of our tormenting troubles and sorrows. ing to Fpeculation and negation. That there have been, within recent years, disclosures of inefficiency in the church, must give any thoughtful man pause. There is serious need for statesmanship and the employment of the best strategy in the present situation. There may be need for a new alignment of the forces, and possibly for a change in the personnel of our leaders. That there is need of consolidating the ranks and a simultaneous and aggressive forward movement is conspicuously evident The church needs authority and conviction. A day where every man indulges in personal liberty to such an extent that he does that which is right in his own eyes, independent of what its effect may be upon others, will mark the beginnings of disorder, and the break-uof those things that, by long experience, have proved indispensable to the orderly ways of decent and profitable living. Men are groping for the truth, they are yearning for a new mani festation of spiritual power, they are insisting that speculation and negation shall give place to deep conviction born of experience. They will heed only him whose message and whose ministry bear the un mistakable evidences of a divine imprimatur.

E bv McClure Newspaper Syndloate THE WHY of SUPERSTITIONS By H. 1RVINQ KINQ THE PLANTAIN TpHAT pestiferous weed, the plantain, which people have to dig out of their lawns and dooryards is anything but a romantic or mystic plant In appearance and yet It figures prominent ly In myth and superstition. In this country it appears in as a cure for bee stings and to "draw out poison" from something any wound or sore. The Indians call It white man's foot for with the white man the plantain came to this country as It has traveled in his company to all parts of the earth. A native of temperate Asia and Europe the weed has wandered always with the white man and never appears where he Is not or has not been. This can be accounted for, of course, without calling the supernatural. The Insidious upon seed may be accidentally carried abroad as the jimsonweed came to just this country in a load of discharged from British ships. Bt to tl unreflecting there Is something rather uncanny In the way In which the plantain follows the white man's footsteps.
