Pictures of the sinking of the Ir- resistible in the Dardanelles induce reflection on how few things which man creates are irresistible. The sinking of the Titanic on her maiden voyage was another striking lesson in the vanity of human nomenclature. Names are but markers in our ef- forts to express ideas and ideals; and many, many a name has gone down in this war, besides those attached to fragile ships, says the Minneapolis Journal. Many names for the ideals of the human race, many names for the ego- tism of Twentieth Century progress have been dragged in mire deeper than the ocean depths. Civilization! ‘What a mockery has been made of this term! The names for Christian forgive- ness of our enemies, meekness, chari- ty, gentleness, how “irresistible” to man’s weakness and selfishness and avarice have they been? How “ti- tanic” are lust and avarice in these boasted days! And worst of all, what a use is being made of the word “God” and the word “Almighty!” - No dastardly act of vengeance, no act of cruelty, no exaltation of brute force is com- plete without a blasphemous ‘plea that it is committed because of Divine Will. Is there any more shameless exhi- bition of man’s conceit than to ascribe his own devilish doings to the influ- ence of his spiritual attributes? The pagans at least had a god for war and war alone, and they did not have the brazen effrontery to make him at once the inspiration of love and peace and murder and rapine. Mars was not an excuse for any double stand- ard of ethics. World Court Congress. A movement of more than ordinary consequence will be discussed at Cleveland this evening at a meeting of what is referred to as the World Court Congress.. William Howard Taft, former president of the United States, will open thé congress and peace advocates from all parts of the country will be in attendance. Endeavor will be made to establish a “supreme court of the ~world,” the hope and purpose of which will be to avoid wars in the future. The congress will be in session for three days. Among the delegates * will be noted educators and the gov- ernors of several states. Mr. Taft's address this evening © will be on “The United States Su- preme Court, the Prototype' of the ‘World Court,” and the former pres- ident is -expected- to lay down a model world tribunal along the lines of' the highest court in this nation. Interested in the movement are the governors of nearly all of the states. John Hayes Hammond is chairman. Besides Mr. Taft, the principal speakers will be Governor Willis of Ohjo; Senator Warren G. Harding of Ohjo; Senator Lawrence Y. Sherman of Illinois; John Mitclrell, Professor Jeremiah Jenks, Bishop Luthér - B. ‘Wilson, Rabbi Joseph Silverman, Judge Alton B. Parker and Bain- bridge Colby.

Lucky is the man who cures the af- fliction by taking the remedy which nature alone can offer. Nature is a most skillful practioner. 'She pre- scribes neither pills nor knife.

STANDISH. Washington, May 12.—Mabel T. Boardman, just now active director of the “infinitely small” work of the American Red Crosg, is firmly con- vinced that persons wishing to aid vietims of war, combatant or non- combatant, make a mistake ~when they fail to make use of the Red Cross. “A number of voluntéer organiza- tions have sprung up,” she said, “and their purpose is fine. They want to help and set about it in their own way to do it. The trouble is that their work often duplicates our own and that means just that much waste; it means that money is being spent twice for one end, whereas there are so many things' erying for relief which we haven’t the money |. to relieve. I think this is in a large part due to the failure to under- stand that the Red Cross will apply funds for any purpose for which it is given. If $5,000 is given for a specific piece of relief ‘work it is used for that and the same is true if the sum given is $5. However, if we had planned to spend the same amount of funds already in hand for thdt work we don’t do it, we divert it to amother crying need: ’ “I wish people understood this bet- ter. I wish they realize@ that when congress created the Red Cross, act- ing under the Treaty of Gemneva in the creating of a volunteer aid so- ciety, it intended that the Red Cross should be the American people’s ex- préssion of sympathy and the Ameri- can people’s means of helping- the strickén whenever need arises. Notlhi- ing could be-more essentially an fu- stitution of thé Amrican people and of the American government than Is’ the-Red Cross. Probably most peo- ple do- not know that our accounts, after being audited by the war de- jbrought back a postcard partment, are repéted to whrm together with dethtled stiitemi¥ht--o our work.” 5 There is evidently somethi what Miss Boardfidff' says) ¢ Rockefeller Foundation - seems - to | think so.- Such money. as. it has-sét aslde for' war TelefiWork ‘has been turried difectly 'over fo'the Réd Cfoss to be administered as the“Red {Cross sees fit. The Foundatfdn, admittedly expert in such matters itself, con- in cedes this fleld to the Red Cross and'f to avoid-waste and misuse gives: th latter the funds, asking only a ve- ceipt- for it ‘and* no* explanktisi of how: used.
