Horn In those fateful nine years of revolution, our nation today, nfter 150 years of perseverance and progress, Is the most favored on earth, the most powerful, the wealthiest. So much lias been taken here as n matter of course that It seems hard to realize that this anniversary is celebrated In the very England from which liberty was wrested, and that observances of It are officially ordered In many lands beyond the sens. The Fourth of July has become International In scope, for it has changed the governments of nations whose capitals are far from Independence hall. Had not the ideas of government held by the colonists been essentially F.rltlsh there would probably never have been any Declaration of Independence. It Is as natural for the Briton to demand his rights as It Is for him to live. The war of the Revolution wus largely due to the fact at the three thousaiiTl miles rtf water between London and the colonies caused parliament to lose sight of the ties of consanguinity and of Jnee. Although the original thirteen colonies were so essentially English In thought and feeling they had never actually been established by England as a national enterprise. The only one which had ever received any official old whatever was Georgia, and that was not sufficient to carry any such feeling of dependence ns Is essential for the preservation of intimate colonial relations. The right to colonize the North American continent had been granted by charters from a British king. According to the feudal system, which was then rapidly becoming elTaced, the. king owned all the land and distributed It among various favored vassals. The sovereign In the same way regarded the New World as if It had been won by the sword. The most extravagant Ideas prevailed with regard to the wealth of the American lands. It was at one time soberly believed In England that gold and silver and precious stones could be had for the taking and that the natives were the possessors of fabulous wealth. The king gave the charters In most cases with the Idea that he would profit greatly from mines which would yield enormous returns to the royal exchequer. When the colonists came here they found It necessary to make good their titles either by peaceful bargains with the Indians or by force of arms. From the very first the spirit of Independence was fostered, for fhfs which bud to be maintained by constant vigilance and negotiations and by sbovv of force did not carry with them a deep sense of obligation. Indeed, even at thnt early day, although for the throne the colonists entertained feelings of loyalty and devotion, a shrewd idea was abroad that the king did not really own the land which be had bestowed by bis cbnKtcn.-Th- e conquest of nature and of the savages begot a rugged Independence which as the years went by became more and more distasteful to the authorities hi England. Richard Henry Lee, of Virginia, offered the Independence resolution In Juno, 1770, and a committee was appointed to draft the Declaration, consisting of Thomas Jefferson, John Adams' Franklin, Roger Sherman and Robert Livingston. Jefferson wrote the document, and alterations were made principally at the suggestion of Franklin and Adams. The paper was submitted to congress on June 2S. It was laid on the table until July 1, when nine colonies voted In favor of it I 1 was actually The Independence resolution adopted on July 2 and promulgated to the world on July 4, when John Hancock, of Massachusetts, affixed to it Ills bold signature. The other members of the congress did not sign It until August 2, and the Impressive scene connected with the signing was not witnessed until nearly a month later, although It is popularly associated with the Fourth of July. Centuries of the progress of the rights of man bear witness In the Declaration. Thnt all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain lnnlienuble rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness," was not new, for It was recognized at Sinai. That governments derive their Just powers from the consent of the governed had been stated and restated In many ways since the beginning of the colonies. Thomas Jefferson was criticised at the time for lack of originality in the Declaration. The document gained all the greater force from Its statement of truths. Never was there a more masterly presentation of a bill of grievances than Is contained in the Declaration, which "submits the facts to a candid worW." In 1S7G the one hundredth anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence was celebrated with Impressive exercises both in New York and lliiladelphia. Iu 1S2G was celebrated the fiftieth anniversary. Several of the original signers of the immortal document were still alive, although unable on account of extreme nge to take part In the exorcises to which they had boon hidden. New York had a grand proces- slon and n barbecue in the square now named nfter Washington, nt which 10,000 persons were present. Josiah Quincy was the orator of the day In Boston, and addresses also were made by Webster and lVabody. And now In 1920 we have the Sesquieentonnlal exposition at Philadelphia, open from June 1 to December 1. To It will conic the nations of-- the world co operating with us In our celebration, which has been designed to demonstrate thnt what fifty years ago was merely potential Is ' today an accomplished fnrtt.

Turkey and Great Britain have signed the Mosul convention, which settles the dispute between these two countries over the control of Mosul, with its important untappc oil resources. The Mosul question came up before the league of nations and various solutions were suggested. Eventually the present agreement was drawn up. The principal points of the convention are acceptance of what is known as the Brussels line by both parties with slight modifications in fatvor of Turkey in the neighborhood of Alimoun, and the maintenance of a demilitarized zone seventy-fivkilometers on both sides of the frontier. A Tnrko-Iramilitary commission, presided over by a Swiss, will delimit the frontier within six months after ratification of the agreement.

Recommendations against compulsory military training in schools and colleges, which was declared to be foreign to the ideals of the educational system, were made public by the administrative committee of the Federal Council of Army Churches. Coincident with the com- mittees appeal was the publication of a war department statement reviewing the growth of the reserve officers training corps, showing that applications of nineteen universities and colleges and of thirty-fivhigh schools for R. O. T. C. units were on file, but could not be approved because of lack of funds. The eommittees appeal asked church people throughout the nation to study the whole question of militarism in education, and expressed special dissatisfaction over the extension of the program of military training, of an elaborate and technical character, even into the public high schools. , e Bay City Fire Loss $200,000 San Francisco.
