I THE MORNING STAR, WILMINGTON, N. C. MONDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1916. Two. 1 1 r4 1 I ,4 : I i 4 1 i 3 3 i ?! I 0 '.IS 1ft 1 'IDEA OF ARBITRATED r GROWING 1 GERM Is Opinion of Prof. Deissmann, of the Berlin University. Replies to Inquiry Concerning; Peace League Made by Rev. Charles S. 3IacFarland, of The Federal Council New York, Dec. 3. That the "idea of arbitration" is constantly gaining ground in Germany' is the opinion of Prof. Adolf Deissmann, of the Univer sity of Berlin, expressed in a wireless message to the Rev. Charles S. Mac Farland. general secretary of the Fed eral Council of the Churches of Christ1 in America. The message made pub lic here tonigfct. came through the Gei man embassy. - Mr. MacFarland addressed an inquiry on the subject-to Prof. Deissmann sev eral weeks ago in -the hope, he said, that a reply might be received in time to be read at the dinner of the League to Enforce Peace, held in this city on Ndvember 24. Prof. Deissmann, described as "one of the leading intellectuals in Ger many", answered in part as follows: "I gladly answer your important in quiry. The question raised by Lord Bryce whether after the close of this most destructive -wrar, arrangements could be made by which peace-loving nations should pledge themselves to de sist from any attack with arms and submit all matters of dispute to a court of arbitration Is one of the great burning questions of the future which concern not only a group of nations, but all mankind. Although history teaches us that the road leadirtg to this goal is St easy, yet I venture to say that in our country the idea of arbitra tion is gaining ground constantly. "Of course, if attempts to form in ternational alliances for maintaining lasting conditions of peace are to be practically realized the mental and spiritual atmosphere within the great powers must change. The "gangrenous ulcer of hate which poisons Interna tional relations must be burnt out and the intellectual heads of nations,,bove all the Christian leaders, must under full recognition of the bona fides of their opponents be ready to forgive one another's thoughts as well as words and deeds, whereby they have hurt and wounded each other. ; Then they would succeed In fully entering into the problem of re-construction. "In creating this atmosphere,, which is pre-requisite to every step toward a better mutual understanding, neutral Christians have a great mission. With out Pharisaism and by the proper course which avoids everything that might pour oil onto the flames of war, they should regard combatants as suf fering brethren, nurse their wounds and re-consider the attitude of their hearts and minds." TEUTONS DBA WING STILL CLOSER TO - RUMANIAN CAPITAL Continuv From Page One), trops was announced today by the ad miralty.

Last January she reported on her arrival at Marseilles with a large number of i.-3sengers from Alexandria and Malta that she had been pursued for several hours by a subma rine. . j .
