TIME FOR ANY DEFINITE
OVERTURES TOWARD &EACE
Mistaken Movement Just at This Time Might Work Incalculable Harm
and Delay, and Desire for Immediate Reconciliation Must be
Restrained in Light of Political Conditions, Says Writer
in Review of Conditions in Europe.
(By Rv. Chas. S. Macfarland.) '.-
(Dr. Maefarland, the General Secretary of the Federal Council of the
Churches of Christ in America, has recently returned from The Hague, Ber
lin, Paris and London, where he held conference with Christian leaders for the
purpose of maintaining fraternal relations between the American churches and
the churches of Europe, looking towards the coming time of reconciliation and
reconstruction. He also interviewed p olitical leaders and publicists while in
these various centers. Editor).
Not the lesat of the sad accompanl-,
ments of the war is the' estrangement
and mutual bitterness between mem-
ters of the evangelical churches, and
the fact that this is the result of the
demands of conscience in each case
does not lessen its seriousness. In
this connection, it is to be remember
ed that the- churches in Great '. Britain,
Germany, and other nations, are large
ly state churches, and that the Pro-'
testant churches of France are of
Huguenot descent, many - of whose
leaders are Alsatians.' :
Any movements looking- towards
ultimate reconciliation and reconstruc
tion need to be guided by those whose
acquaintance with the political situa
tion is intimate, and our desire for
immediate reconciliation must be re
strained in the . light of these (political
conditions. . .
One must venture with modesty any
attempt at diagnosis, and all observa
tions and impressions are subject to
the mutations of a confused situation,
in which the merest accident may up
set seeming probabilities. The present
moment is not the time .for any
definite political or semi-political (or
even non-political) overtures for
peace. A mistaken movement at Just
this time might, work incalculable
harm and delay. The movements which
are less likely to do harm at this
moment are such as the League to1
Enforce Peace and the : Organisation
Centrale pour une Faix Durable, whose
plan is now through several expert
commissions to sturdy the3 ; Sltuatiois.'
Anything, however, that - aims to "atop
the war" is injurious.'.
The general attitude in Germany has
undergone a marked change, parallel,
in the main, with the change of the
Christian leaders, from the manifest
spirit of bitterness at the beginning
of the war to their present attitude of
Christian reconciliation, which they
declare to be without reference to the
political differences which they still
maintain. They are frankly ready for
peace, not yet on terms,- especially as
to the matter of indemnities, which
would be acceptable to their foes, and
especially to France, and yet, I be
lieve, with far greater concessions
than the world supposes, especially as
regards annexation. I believe ' they
might easily be ready for an adjust
ment on the assumption of the status
ante bellum, in other words, on even
terms Tho A lllao V. r-w-.r siim AnnAiallv

France, are not ready for this, at least
as yet. ' - ;
Official Germany, especially its mod
erates, are desirous of setting them
selves right in regard tomatters which
have been generally condemned by
neutrals. They have only recently un
derstood American sentiment, and we
may look for further changes when
mey funy comprehend it and Its
grounds. Von Jagow and Zimmerman
are, I believe, most earnestly desirous
of maintaining unbroken friendly re
lations with America, and are desirous
of bringing the warto an honorable
and just close. They see the economic
and financial difficulties ahead, al
though at the same time thev are
confident of their resourcefulness, at
least long enough to weary out their
adversaries, and they are not letting
their peace hopes delude them into
inactivity or unpreparedness. -.
So far as the Christian leaders are
concerned, they support their state,
Probably favoring the moderate element
or the government. They have honest
'y beheved, and still believe, that the
ar was forced upon them, and that
ey are defending their; life. The
Present German attitude as to peace,
s to the regard of neutrals, and as
"j the assumed modification of their
Vmands, is of course accorded different
interpretations, alleged variously as
follows:
(a) It is aSKPrteri to Vo heraii thv
f e l.uat their cause' is ultimately lost
no that, with their present temporary
"s.' they are in the best possible
fh Vn to gain in the settlement.
to) The fear of increasing dissatis
mction among the people. . ;
rf 'tl They are trying to lead the, rest
f,,.n Uorld to throw, the blame for
wther bloodshed on the Allies. "
Mat The mo(ierate element of the
- e is gaining in the directing of the

is invaded ; territory; th
high spirit of her people is thoroughly
aroused. It has for the time reached,
at least, dangerously near the senti
ment of revanche, which she believes
to be righteous justice and its neces
sary retribution. Her immediate mood
would impose x preliminary conditions
which preclude even the idea of. con
ference. The suggestion of anything
of the kind is offensive, and she re
sents it.
This, however, would be entitled to
some discount were the issue clearly
joined, and especially were she pre
euaded to" place confidence In the ethics
of her foe. This .want of -confidence,
of course, is declared to be largely due
to . the military excesses in Belgium
and Northern France. Therefore, I do
not think it implies equal distrust of
the German Christians or the German
people. At the same time it is alleged
that the German people have appeared
to excuse or palliate wrongs and the
French have not forgotten tne severe
utterances of German Christians ' at
the beginning of the war. ' The effect
of all this is noy very strong ln France,
but the clearing away of the mist.
of misunderstanding will bring mutual
patience, sympathy, forgiveness and j
reconciliation. French' Christians feel i
that an admission of German guilt and
injustice : must be made before they
can consider any thought of reconcilia
tion with German Christians. At thW
moment, therefore, she protests . that
she must dispose of a foe likely at
any time, if left, as at present, to crush
her.1.
- England occupies a somewhat mediat"
ing position, and comes nearer seeing
the whole field. She would: ask guaran-
f tees-' of 'a "Very" stroiig and " guarded kind
from Germany,- and would be less exact
ing than "France.
Meanwhile the internal situations
are . subject to fluctuation. - German
leaders believe that England means
practically to own Belgium, and to
take Calais as her recompense - for
service to France, and it is even rumor
ed that some such feeting lurks id
France herself. I heard nothing of
this kind, however, in France. Some
of the Belgian refugees In England are
alleged to have worn their welcome
out. This, if true, has naturally quali
fied active sympathy with the Belgian
people as a whole. Socialists in all
lands are. more or less mercurial. The
common people are increasingly ques
tioning. .
. Most important of all is the attitude
of Great Britain, with whose past
national policy armaments seem to be
an essential , and inevtricable comple
ment, and whose naval system bears
at least partial resemblance to German
militarism. . I found men of official
standing in Great Britain, as well as
thoughtful citizens, who, while pro
foundly believing that a principle of
world-wide significance is yet to be
decided, responded with more or less
ready affirmation to ' my insinuated
question as to whether or not, viewing
the situation over a sufficient space
and time, in its economic, and especial
ly its diplomatic aspects, the blame
and responsibility .might not ultimate
ly be distributed more widely among
the nations involved, and especially
among their diplomatic leaders, than
is now assumed. I judge that these
are few in number.
There is, -however, a growinfl feel
ing that, in addition to the White, Blue
and Yellow Books of the diplomacy
of the summer of 1914, one should know
more fully the record of the evasive
and suspicious, and,, perhaps, some
times arrogant, devious and short
sighted diplomacy of the preceding de
cade; likewise the whole story of the
more or less suspicious military pre
paredness (using the term in the
broader and more general sense, or
using the terms military "expectancy"
or "anticipation") of all the nations,
and, indeed, the full story of 1914.'
While thi3 would not excuse any ag
gressions of 1914, it might at least
more fully explain some points of
view and departure not yet fully com
prehensible. And it might Involve this
wider distribution of ultimate responsi
bility. -. . : '
How far have Germany's natural com
plaints been ignored and left to rankle?
How far has vacillation or evasion
been misconstrued as perfidy and hos
tility? ther immediately Incidental
questions arise: How far shall we
consider the? situation of the Jews in
Russia Vis not altogether unlike the
Armenians In Turkey? How far "may
Poland and East Prussia be thought of
in terms of Belgium? The answer, to
some of these questions might explain,
even if it - did not excuse or palliate.
It would at least explain points of
view not yet generally apparent.
The Allies have plans, and the Cen
tral Powers have equally definite plans,
to be brought to pass In the next few
months ' (perhaps longer), upon which
much more depends than on any pre
vious ones, owing to large prepared
ness and greater complications. My
impression is that both are not unlike
ly, to meet measurable, but neither
complete,' success. . That is to say, no
decisive or overwhelming advantage
will be gained. In any event, what
ever the putcome, they are likely to
bring - us " .nearer . to settlement by he
gotiatipn. I - have reason to believe
that in the. minds, of both sides "this
is more or less expected, especially in
Germany and England, and in the minds
of some -high -in -authority in France.,
In fact, neither side feels confident on
this question, :! Both sides "seem to
admit, at least to themselves, that their
original -expectations have failed, and

Of less importance will be the use of cavalry in the future as an arm of "the military service, observers of Euro
pean and Mexican army operations declare.. Infantry-with the. aid of motor trucks in the movement of any army and
its supplies are so effective, economical and rapid that the horse seems likely to find himself . accupying a second
rate place compared with his most ancient fields of endeavor. . ,. j
Acting upon this theory, Ohio National guardsmen nar Cleveland tnade careful tests of the transport possibili
ties of ordinary freight trucks in practice maneuvera,.fverTthe brick; roads " of r Cuyahoga county. .Granted an' ex--K

course, to : troops mounted on horses. . - ' ' .
This experiment followed similar and more elaborate ones made at the famous Plattsburg military training
schqol, where every forni of motor vehicle was tested as to Its military possibilities. One hundred to 150 miles a
day was the. average rate of travel. If a portion of , the command fell twenty miles behind, a motorcycle messenger
transmitted orders to them in'a few minutes. Ordinary problems of the march simply disappeared. If wood and wa
iter were lacking at the evening camp site, they were simply .brought from anywhere within five miles.
Pierce Schon, an American who has seen, service with the Carranzista forces in Mexico verifies these" conclu
sions ; and' expresses". the belief, that the solution of the coast jdefense problem dees not lie in submarines nor forti
fications, but in'a system of roads reaching vital coast points over which a fleet of "land dreadnoghts" could be op

Raleigh, N. C, April 15. The enter
tainment features of the spring cere
monial of Oasis Temple of -Mystic
Shriners, to be held in Raleigh May
23 and 24, will distinguish the gath
ering as one of the most successful ln
the history of Shrinedom In this state.
It will not be necessary for the camels
to even attempt to pass through "the
eye of a needle" order to gain ad
mittance to the Capital City. The latch
strings will s be made to order and the
committees " guarantee them to be of
durable material. One will be hung
on the outside of every entrance to
the city and they will , be so arranged
that the noble will not have to dis
mount in order to reach them.
At a recent conference between high
up officials of the temple and the local
committee on arrangements many de
tails were worked out In a highly satis
factory manner. The result of the con
ference was gratifying.. Among those
from out of Raleigh here to confer with
the local committee were: Potentate
S. H. Green of Monroe, Recorder
Thomas H. Griffith of Charlotte, Cere
monial Director L. D. Sutherland, of
Charlotte, and Leake Carraway, chair
man of the publicity committee, also
of . the Queen City, .which is the home
of the temple.
An entire floor of the Bland Hotel has
been engaged as headquarters for the
special guests who will be present.
Noble : V. St. Cloud of this hotel will
see that; x the visitors are supplied with
every convenience. He will, in con
junction with the local- committee, look
after the matter : as a . wearer of the
fez. As he has a Shriner's tempera
ment, he knows what Shriners want
and - will prepare just those things.
Aside f rom ' the- business session and J
ceremonial there will be many novel
entertainment features worthy of note.
Things have , been arranged on a big
scale. Raleigh is arranging' to do it
self proud., Even r outside of Shrine
dom and Masonry. Interest in the com
ing events; is- running -high. . The two
days that the - Shriners ' are here will

spoke to the students in the advanced
history courses on the" subject of "Prob

There has grown up in many sections
of this country, said the speaker, a
habit of writing histoy of states, coun
ties, and. other comparatively small di
visions of the country from a local
point of view alone, without "showing
the -relation of the section ito the great
National movements. , There is at pres
ent, however, a hopeful tendency away
from this narrow practice. -
Another thing necessary to the writ
ing of a reliable history of a subordi
nate division of the - country is that
the author leaves that section for a
time in, order to get an outside view

A third harmful tendency in the writ
ing, of local history is the practice of
writing biographies of the great lead
ers and-ignorihg the common,, work
aday people, who frequently have more
to do with the making of liistorrythan
