C. Acheson, suffragan bishop of the Episcopal diocese of Connecticut, at a meet- of the Church club of the Copn- ecticut diocese at the Hotel Burritt last night. He said that the former soldiers and the rich people encour- |age the idea and talk up another | €ar, but the middle class and the | al run ridicule such an idea. | His talk, concerning a trip last summer through Germany, France land England, gave his hearers an |irsight into the real condition of | Germany and the other countries at present time, He said, in opentng his talk, that [e had had great good fortune in the first place in that he had seen 149 ships of the British navy drawn |up outside the harbor of Southamp- ton awaiting the review of King George. (He told of the approach to the the the great ships, the dim outline tlirough the mists resemhling a great forest of then of the droning |of many aeroplanes and of the final Lreaking away of the mists, disclos- ing the giant cruisers. A sight never to be forgotten, was the way In which he expressed his emotions at | that time, He spoke of a.strange tradition rife among British seamen, that of always running ships into harbors at full speed. In this way the captains have become so sk.iful that they | are able to enter any port in the world with engines running at “full speed ahead.” They nwst know the s into every harhor in the world said the bishop. Heligoland Described Passing along on the way to Germany the main thing attracting {the attention was the aspect of Heligoland, a blogk 200 feet high rising ‘straight out of the water. He said that the place has been dis- mantled since the war and is now used as a summer resort. The old fortress is gone. He said that the cliffs of Heligoland are 1 1-2 miles long and three miles around. Going through the Kiel canal one sees nothing formidable, said the speaker, although in war time there was danger at every turn. And then vp the Elbe river. The speaker told at length of the beauties of this riv- er, its mansions and the clean and | well kept appearunce of the land- | scape. At Hamburg, the next stop of the bishop's party, a curious situation is met, he said. The surrounding coun- v is low and the ingenious Ger- | mans have dug out the earth with huge shovels, allowing the sea to come in, forming numerous harbors, a chain of them. The speaker said | Le took a boat and made a trip| through the many harbors. He had | heard, he said, that Germany was building warships for a future time. here was nothing of the kind in sight. Not one smokestack did he see and th only ships greeting {his eye were several waterlogged tubs lying at anchor or at wharves. Hamburg is a beautiful town and a delightful place in which to live, said Bishop Acheson. The Germans | there are not bellicose and are not talking war. The attitude met to- day is different in a marked degree from that met before the war. Then | they were very cocky, he said. Now | they act as a beaten people, sensing that they are lacking sometNing es- sential. High Prices in Hamburg. High prices are met in all quar-| ters at Hamburg. Goods are very high, he said. The cost of articles is about 25 per cent more than in New York city. He said he had heard ato that the Germans would rob him if heestopped at a | hotel. To the contrary, they seemed trees In conversations with them he said that t were anxious to know the ign the world has of them, they thought a great deal of the Dawes plan and they also were of the opin- ion that ir men had been train- ed, they would have thought of something similar to that. They also were interested in knowing whether or not loans would be granted. Kaiser a Coward. Everywhere, said the speaker, the | same tho is expressed: The Kaiser could not ¢o back.

They were willing that the royal “family live among them as long as the Kaiser did not try to come back, “He is a coward,” |is heard on all sides, according to the speaker, “He wouldn't help recon- struct Germany." JThat attitude ie vastly different from the one expressed, or rather, not expressed some years ago. At that time no one dared mention the name of the Kalser in any terms ex- cept those of highest laudation, Now they speak openly of their former |¥ler. He told a story of an occurrenc which took place on one of his trips to Europe before the war. He saw several German-Americans on the boat and many times heard the name of “Schneider” mentioned, He came to think that this man* Schneider was some big magnate, not too well liked by these men, Upon becoming acquainted with the men he asked them who Behnel- der was. They immediately asked the bishop where he was from and made sure that he was a neutral party be- fore they told him. It seemed that they were German buyers and they had no great love for Kalser Wilhelm. Therefore,in speaking of him they used the name of Schneider, inasmuch as they would be severely dealt with if any- one heard them using the Kaiscr's name in that way. eryone was extremely poor, ac- cording to Bishop Acheson. He was told of matters in Hamburg, the poverty-stricken condition extending even to the former wealthy class. His informant told him that all the big mansions along Hamburg's weal- thiest streets had either been closed or were being kept open merly to provide a few rooms for the occu- pants. One case memtioned, where his informant visited a former weal- thy German, told the entire story, The man stopped at the great structure and sought admittance, There was a ewinging to and from of bolts and chains and finally the door was opened a trifile. The man who had invited him to his home saw who {t was and then let him in. He said that some time before two men had knocked at the door, walked in, bound and gagged his wife and him and then departed with the choicest furniture in the palatial residence. Everyone on that street, he eald, was taking the same precautions, b Horace Greeley Hjalmar Schartz, Germany's savior, said the speak- er, a man with American {deas and American practices, i3 Horace Gree- ley Hjalma® Schartz, the man who has stopped the falling of the mark. Schartz is a banker, the son of parents who livedsfor several years| in the United States. America ways| of doing things have been instilled into this man and he has put in good condition the German mark, the laughing stock of the financial world. He has backed up the mark with real money, and although there were not a great many of these new marks circulated, due to a lack of sufficient funds, enough are now in use to give Germany the footing she | has needed. He gould have made millions when the mark was falling,{ said the speaker, but he determined to save Germany. Al The speaker told of paying €0, 000,000 marks for a cup of choca- late, 60 cents in American money. Made Millions in Germany. He told of one German, whom he| met on the train, and who had made | miilions during the decline of the mark. This man was in the brewing accessory business, furnishing uten- &ils for brewers. He told of the way | in which he has made his He xald that he never furnished any goods until the money was placed/An his hands. Then he went to the bank, secured his credits and his wife did the rest. She went to stores and selected things at random, clothing and all other articles. These were brought home and the man | sald they had bales of materials in his home at ‘that time. He said he took one deposit to the bank in an old Packard car. The money was piled in the back eeat and his five children were all placed on top of the money to keep it from blowing away. When it arrived at | the bank he told the officials how much was there and received credit for it. 'S “Didn’t they count it?” questioned the bishop. “Count it? I ghould say not! There are not enough men in all Berlin to count that money Poverty is Explained.

Germans Like British, The occupied area furnished an interestingspart of the bishop's talk, He went to Cologne, and everywhere was a scene of peace. There was no sign of accupation,. When they en- tered the town the party pald their way In German money, there were German police everywhere and to all appearances the town was the same as it sad always been. This area was occupied by the British and they were billeted evreywhere., The Britlsh officers were non-existant as far as visibility was concerned. The British were well liked in Colggne. Going to the I'rench area a differ- ent situation was met. Here evel thing was French, money, official. and even the French flag was flying from every eitadel, where in Cologne the German flag had been always on the skyline. The Germans in the French area feel that France is “rubbing it in,” said the speaker. They do not like colored troops, and the French have on duty Sengalese, who, to all ap- pearances are colored. It was ex- plained to the bishop that these men were as pure blooded a5 the French and were all gentleren, ¥ The speaker then passed over hi trip through France saying that the| war area is all being reclaimed. He sald that Rheims Cathedral will| probably be as heautiful as it ever| was. “Genius cannot die” he said, | and expressed the opinion that| France has workmen as competent at the present time as those who built the huge structure.

He cautioned the bishop against such a practice, “There is no liberty there,” sald Bishop Acheson, “If those boys had been the sons of a duke, the officlal would have Kkissed the ground they walked on, but as they were boys. of the street, hefwould have cast them out of the tower, in which they had a right to be, since they had tickets, “We should thank God that we live in the United States,” he con- cluded.

HORE RELIGION AN LESS LAWS This s Coolidge's Theme in Ad- dress to Methodists Washington, Oct. 15.—Reliance upon religion rather than law, for refornt was jemphasized today by President Coolidge, speaking at the unveiling here of a statwe of Francis Asbury, “ploneer bishop of the Methodist Episcopal ~church in | America.” “We cannot depend upon the gov- ernment,” the president declared, “to do the work of religion. An act of congress may indicate that a reform is being or has been accom- plished, but it does not itself bring about a reform. The government of a country never gets ahead of the religion of a country.” Religion was described by the | president as the foundation of this government. It is as a fesult of the preaching of Bishop Asbury, his associates and other religious or- ganizations, he declared, that “our country has developed so ' much freedom.” Well to Remember, “It is well to remember this,” he added, “when we are sécking for social reforms. Of course we can Telp to restrain the vicious and fur- |nish a fair degree of security and protection by legislation and police control. But the real reforms which society in these dgvs is seeking will come as a result of our religious convictions, or they will not come at all. A “We cannot escape aspersonal re- sponsibility for our own conduct. We cannot regard those as wise or afe counsellors in public affairs who deny these principles and seek to support the theory that society can succeed when the individual falls. “There is no way by which we can substitute the authority of law for fhe virtue of man. Peace, jus- humanity, charity—these can- not be legislated into being. They are the vosult of a divine grace.” From the life of Bishop Ashury, who came to this country as preach- er before the revolutionary war, the tice, ! president drew a lesson of sacrifice |and devotion which, he said, “has gone into the making of our coun- try.” He recalled that the ploneer 6,000 miles a year, preaching about 16,500 ser- mons and receiving as his highest salary $85 a year. “He had no idea,” Mr. Coolidge said. “that he was preparing men the better to take part in a great liberal movement, the better to take advantage of free institutions, and the better to perform the functions of sclf-government. He did not come for political motives. He came to bring the gospel of the people. Met Great Obstacles, “T do not see how anyone could recount the story of this early bishop without feeling a renewed faith iIn our eountry. He met a multitude of storms. Many of them caused him trials. But he never wavered. He saw wars and heard rumors of wars, but whatever may have been the surface appearance, iderneath it all, our country mani- fested then and has continued to manifest a high courage, a remark. ahle strength of spirit and an un- aal ability, in a crisis. to choose right course.

Rests On Bible “Qur government rests upon re- liglon. Tt is from that source that we derlve our reverence for truth and justice, for equality and liberty, and for the rights of mankind, Un- less the people believe in these prin. ciples, they cannot belleve in our government, There are only two maln theories of government in, the world, One rests on righteousness, the other rests on force. One ap- peals to reason, the other appeals to the sword. One is exemplified in a republie, the other is represented by despotism. The history of govern- ment on this earth has been almost entirely a history of the rule of force held in the hands of a few. Under our constitution Amerfcan committed {tself to the practical ap- plication of the rule of reason, with the power held in the hands of the people, | SHOWER FOR MISS THOMAS, A miscellaneous shower was given Tong Preparation This result was by no means ac- compMshed at once. It came ahout only by reason of long and difficult preparation, oftentimes accompanied with Qlscouraging faflure. The abil- ity for self-government is arrived at only through an extensive training and education. In our own case it required many generations and we cannot yet say that it is wholly per- fected. It is of & great deal of sig- nifieince that the generation which fought the American Revolution had seen a very extensive religious re- vival. They had hedrd the preach- ing of \Jonathan Edwards. They had seen the great revival meetings that were inspired also by the ‘preaching of Whitefield. The religi- out experiences of those days made a profound impression upon the great body of the people. They made new thoughts and created new interests. They freed the public mind, through a deeper knowledge and more serious contemplation of the truth, By calling the people to righteousness they were a direct, preparatiom for self-government. It was for a continuation of this work that Franels Asbury was raised up. “The religious movement which he represented was distinctly a movement to reach the great body of the people, Just as our Declara- tion of Independence Asserts that all men are created free, so it seems to me the founders of this move- ment were inspired by the thought that all men were worthy to hear the word, worthy to be sought out and brought to salvation. It was this motive that took their preach- ers among the poor and neglected, even to criminals in the jails. As our ideal has been to brihg all men to freedom, so their ideal was to bring all men to.salvation. Tt was pre-eminently a 'movement In be- half of all the people. It was not a new theory. The American consti- tution was not a’hew theory. But like it, it was the practical applica- tion of &n old theory, which was very new.” qpired. . SPECIALS— Eels, Finnan Haddies.
