Episcopal Minister and Temperance Advo- cate Attacks Prohibition. (New Yorx Times.) The Methodist Episcopal Church was attacked AND BATTLES. BOOKS - e Fifteen decisive books nave proved of worth to the world than fifteen decisive battles, in the opinion of James oy Wyer, Director of lhl'} New York State Library School. An Associated Press dispatch says speaking before the New York Library tion, Mr. Wyer took Creasy's ‘‘Fifteen Battles of the World” and listed against book. The Associated Press dispatch the following list: BATTLES Marathon, B.C. Arbela, 331.B.C Metaurus, 207 B.C. Over that in Associa- Decisive each a contained BOOKS Euclid’s Elements Aristotle Plato Hebrew Scriptures Augustine’s City God Justinian Chanson de Roland and Morte d'Arthur Divina Commedia of Tours, 732 Hastings, 1066 Joan of Are, Spanish 1588 Blenheim, 1704 Fultowa, 1709 Saratoga, 1777 1429 Armada, Shakespeare De Imitatione Christi Pilgrim’s Progress Wealth of Nations Valmy, 1792 Positive Philosophy Waterloo, 1815 Origin of Species The Associated Press list contains only four- teen of the fifteen battles listed by Creasy and only fourteen books. The other Creasy battle, omitted by the Associated Press account of Mr ‘Wyer's speech, was the Battle of Syracuse, 413 B. C.,, where the Athenian fleet was defeated and through which Greece failed to become tite world power that Athens hoped for. Cready believed that if the Athenians had won at Syracuse Greek elvilization rather than Roman would have dom- inated the world. Why ‘the omission of this important battle, the second in Creasy’s list, by Mr. Wyer cannot be explained, unless it was because he had no book to set against it. Two more battles were added to the fifteen listed in 1851« by Creasy, admitted by him be- fore his death in 1878 to be entitled to place in his book, and included in all recent editions of the great work of the English lawyer-historian: Gettysburg and Seflan. John .Gilmer Speed has added the Battle8 of Manila and Santiago de Cuba as one, because the Spanish War terminated " Spain’s remarkable colonial experience. Another edition would have to add the Battle of the Ma'rne. Those who agree with Mr. Wyer and favor ‘books rather than battles as civilization promoters ought to find a suitable field here for training prophetic tendencie®. They might entertain and strengthen their visions and intellects by choos- ing decisive books to set against the Battles of QGettysburg, Sedan, Manila and Santiago de Cuba and the Marne. NOTED MAN MAY BE GERMAN AMBASSADOR. It is said that the impression grows in Ber- lin and Washington that Dr. Carl Von Schubert, . Pecretary of State in the German Foreign OfF ~ will be appointed Ambassador to the United| States. He will almost certainly be apopinted if it should be decided that he can be spared from | his present position, for he has asked for lhak assignment. It has been three years since Dr. Von Schubert first asked to be appointed Ambassador at Wash- ington whenever a vacancy should occur there. The recent accidental killing of Baron Von " Maltzan in an airplane accident created the . sought for chance. However, doubt is felt at ‘Washington that the German Government will want Dr. Von Schubert to leave Berlin. He is a “carer” diplomat of wide experience and noted ability. He has been the key to many of the knotty problems ‘that have confronted the Ger- man Covernment since the establishment of the public. He is said to possess the confidence ot only of the American Government but that of the diplomatic world. It is regarded as significant that Dr. Von Schubert has picked Washington as the desirable “position, 1t indicates that Germany values her American connections very highly. HOW TO STOP IT. A whole lot of controversies In which Churches the country are being handled in anything er than sacrosanct manner would quickly inate if those Churches would withdraw from and devote their time to spiritual things. _people are not naturally irreverant. ‘do not like to quarrel with the Churches— ‘to eriticize them. They recognize the need religion. A large majority of them are ‘fiovever. as long as Churches remain organizations they will be discussed as ‘the result of the discussion that is just oy A more | ¢ {these bodies who do, at a political institution which was doing all it could to keep the Eignteenth Amendment in the Constitution by the Rev. Harry Howe Bogert, (alvary Episcopal Church, Burnt Hills, County, N. Y, in a letter to Assembly- i A. Cuvillier, made public yesterday. logert, who is.a member of the Board rs of the Church Temperance Socioty, expressed agreement with Mr. Cuvillier in his demand that the prohibition laws be changed and the Eighteenth Amendment be repealed. “It peeves me the way the press and other publications .attributé to ‘Church’ an attitude strongly favoring prohibition, because by ‘the Church’ they mean various Protestant bodies only,” the Rev. Mr. Bogert wrote. “The Roman and Episcopal communions, which favor the Catho- lic side of religion, are not in favor of pro- hibition. “of Tanag ate individuals in both but neither body has ever pressed any resolution in their legislative gs- semblies regarding the Righteenth Amendment, or the Volstead Act, one way or the other, while several Protestant bodies have so done. “The - Methodist body is a purely political institution, and is doing all it can to keep the Kighteenth Amendment in the Constitution. They have a lobby in Washington and are practically the Anti-Saloon League. If the Roman Church did one-tenth the amount of propaganda that the Methodist body does it would be hounded from one end of the country to the other. “General Grant well said that there were three political parties in this country, the Re- publican, Democrats and the Methodists, and that is true today. As you must know, there is a big movement 6n foot to start a new political party if both the Republicans and Democrats sidestep the Prohibition question. “I have been a Republican all my life, but 1 do not hesitate to say that I will forsake that party immedfately if the Liberal Party comes into being on this question. I am sick of the degraded moral stamina of our Congress, sick of this whole abominable mess, and the sooner we come out into the open and declare ourselves the better it will be. I have no faith that either of the big parties will touch the Prohibition question, unlesz it be to proclaim in favor of it, in which case, if there be no other party, I will not vote. “When a people assumes to know more than Almighty God what is good for themselves it is time to get out. The present prpohibition laws have done more harm to this country, to the peo- ple temselves, than anything that has ever hap- pened. We are now a nation of distillers, brew- ers, liars, hypocrites and grafters, made so by this damnable Eighteenth Amendment and Vol- stead Act. “I come from ancestors om both sides of the house who have been born in this country over 300 years, so I feel I can speak freely of my country.” course, there Peace River Railway. (Prince Rupert News.) Definite action toward the building of a rail- way giving a western outlet to Peace River has been taken by the Canadian National Railway, according to a statemeni made by the Minister of Railways at Edmonton. The idea of the survey is not, apparently, with a view to immediate construction but in order that when extensions are made to the existing railways from the East they may be made with a definite plan in view. There are a great many efforts being made just now to interest people im the building of the railway. Vancouver is making efforts to the outlet of the rallway shall be at that elty .
