Com mercial travelers desire to render parti otic service while America is at war and it was felt that the step taken last uigbt would relieve; soldiers of obliga turns which at times might prove dif ficult to discharge, E. V. jMeNairy, chairman of the ral road committee, reported that strenu ous efforts are being' made to secure better connections at railway junction point. In one case, it was pointed out a train connection is missed by a mar gin of four minutes and in another case ty six minutes. Such schedules prove very trying to treaveling men, who think that in many cases a slight change in schedule conld be easily ar ranged, thus remedying the trouble. C. FV Tomlinson protested vigorously passenger serviae being given by th against what lie- termed as very poor j-assenger service being given by the Southern railway. It was agreed that unprecedented crowded conditions exist on the. trains, men, women annd children being forced to sand or long distances in some instances.

The holyj ?ynod, with a membership comprising 1 the metropolitans, archbishops and other high prelates of the orthodox church, leavened by a sprinkling of laymen ap pointed by the eiar on the nomination of the procurate, was the highest and most august body of the state, enjoying t-reeedence even over the council of the empire. The holy synod, while in complete control of the church, was inj itself under the direct authority of the t procurator general, who in turn "was! the personal representative of the war. Naturally, underthe new regime in Russia, there is bound to be a complete rorganitation of the orthodox church, with a view to placing its control in the hands of the people" It is not this phase of the Moscow congress, however, that is of most interest and concern out- side of hussra. The, interest in other countries centers in the probable efTect that the action of the congress and the reorganisation of the Russian church may have on the great project for church unity. Those who know conditions explain J this keen interest by saying that under the leadership of Rev. Dr. William T. Manning, rector of Trinity church New York city the Protestant Episcopal j hiwch in the United States has begin, j ning with its action in 1!U0 led the I Church of England and the whole An- j gliean communion in plans for church j unity throughout the world. 1 A WORD TO OUR GERMANS. (By Charles J. Rosebault.) Before feeling rung too high for sobej thought let us sit down and reasoi teuuily. Just flow we are enjoying 1 moment of calm. The great majority o Amtricans are leaving to Washingtoi the ordering of events. Their blow courses calmly in their veins. It wil not remain so long. When the new of wounds and deatl among the loved ones at the front filh the cables then there will no longer la apathy in American homes. People, wil not smile when they see unfolded in thi street cars the pages of "Viereck's Week ly" or the German language papers, de crying America aijd praising the Hin denburgs. Passion w ill be in the as cendant. And (ierman will not be pop ular on the highways. Will it not lx well then to arrive at the momentou decision, which must be made sooner 01 later, while there is still time to do so'. The good or ill ...writ-f the Americai j people for generations to come hangs ii the balance. Prior to the events of 101' the sentiments of Americans toward persons of (ierman birth or extractioi was decidedly friendly. In fact, non of the nationalities that have sought out shores was so welcome as the fiermav Even the invasion of Belgium, whicl aroused such intense feeling anion; Americans, did not immediately after sentiment towards Hermans domiciled ii the I'niled States. Hud they not lefl the fatherland largely because its con trol was in the hands of the militan party, to whom alone could be impute' sivh disregard for the rights of a weakei nation! Only when the (Ierman lan gnage press and so-called spokesmen o' Germans and fierman-Americans in thi country applauded the acts of the Prus sian military machine did American! generally begin to. doubt the assimila tion of their neighbors of Teutonic ex traction. Even now, however, the Ampricar mind is not fully settled. Americans ar by nature sentimental, and sympathy for the mental struggles o. the flermar here has deterred many from antagon im. Their wrath Is only deferred, how ever, if the attitude of these German' continues to lie fairly represented b-r the Staals-Zeitungs and German ner olds, the Henrsts Bnd the Vtereekr Again, I suggest, ret us reason " out the nit untion in calmness. Why did Oct man come to America! Either beeauw conditions at home were not to their likk Jng of because they expected to find herr opportunities denied them at home. Dir" they find the results they had antici patedT The facts speak for themselves Millions of Germans and descendants of Germans are citbwn of these United. States. Even the prosperous' ones have not returned to Germany, What then of , the fat uref la it to Germany or to this country that they will look for hnppt ness and prosperity? , " Hie insidious propaganda of tlie Ger man language press has doubtless cloud ed the issues. But stop to think dispas sionately of these would-be mouhlcrg of German opinion. Is it not patent that they are working only with selfish pur pose! The German language press of this country was dying of .neglect when the war came to revive Us hopes. We will not diseuss the money frankly pour ed into the counting rooms from' abroad leaders of the movement in America and England entertain strop hopes that this cooperation may be secured. - ' . The Russian church is one of many branches of the eastern Orthodox Cath olic church. Separating from the church ia the west many centuries ago, it has continued ever since in efforts to widen the breach. In organization the two branches are as far apart sa any of the Protestant denominations. The church of Russia is limited to that country, save that the exarch of Georgia, is ex-officio a member of the oly synod, together with the three Ceor I'gia bishops. The membership of t.he church embraces virtually, the entire population of Russia with the exception of. the Jewish element. Some fear has been expressed Jhat the church, through the Moscow congress, may go too far in th exercise of its newly-found freedom. v From extreme ! conservatism to extreme liberalism is an easy step in ecclesiastical affairs, as the past history of church movements has 'shown. The poposal for the recognition ' of women, permitting them voice and vote, ia a step far in advance of any tken by some of the most liberal of the Protestant denominations! It is for these reasons that the pro- ceedings of the Moscow congress will be followed with closest attention the World over. -The feeling is universal that the decisions of the congress may make, or unmake Christian history of the whole world during the next few Tears. -eaders. But the cunning suggestion that Germans in this eountry and Amer lans of German descent were unpopu- ar was more successful. It was not '.rue then, but the un-American behavior f these papera went a long way towards waking it true. It remains for he Ger nans and the German-Americans to si-y ehfther t shaH m entirely true. I here is still tin -to revive the old :ood v'Hi. Not very much time, how trr. jne wnoie prouiem rests upon heir conclusion as Jq whether they are .'or America first or Germany first Our (resident has held out hand of friend 'y welcome to all who would be, -loyal Americans. Let them not hesitate too ong, lest that welcome grow cold. . 1st us ponder well the consequences Ar they contemplating be.-oming sub- ects of the kaiser t Tim latter has- unningly tried to make it possible, hrough his law of dual nationality, to lermit them to be both Germans and Americans, with the accent, of course t,n e former; but America will have none f that. A choice must be made. p 11 ... ror xnose who are resolved to eon inue in this eountry there can be only me conclusion. The ywill have to face heir neighbors through ; many tomor ows. And the sentiments of those icighbors, as they will be evolved from he bloody events that will soon 1$ upon is, will be the sentiments of the chil Iren of those neighbors towards : th-iSV hildren. Aye, and of those children's hildren through the long years to come Shall there, be ostracism of German lood in this land? Shall we witness he boycott of German business and Ierman workers through, many genera ions! Heaven forbid that we be thin tivlded,one against the other. This awful war should not lie made lore terrible by interecine strife. It an be made the means of welding to rether the many divergent element in o one great nation. Never was there n equal opportunity for operating the Melting Pot to good purpose. A real meriean nation is struggling in the hroes of birth. It depends largely upon 'vr German citiwns whether they be epreseted in the festJt.
