HATE AS A HINDRANCE If conditions in Europe, especially those in conection with the Genoa conference, are what Mr. Simonds say they are, it certainly is the duty
of Christians as Christians to take the business in hand. What is the trouble? it is not, it seems, a question of reparations, indemnities or boundaries —these are all secondary. The trouble is that those who are supposed to be Christians hate one another and are unwilling to trust one another. In other words, they are not Christians. According to this theory, men and women are willing to suffer and starve, and quite willing to run the risk of a catastrophe thta may involve the very life of civilization, rather than deal moderat-
ly and wisely with the situation. We are thinking too much of governments and diplomats and home politics and) treaties —of machinery In short —and have forgotten that hack of all these stand men and women who could, if they had the right spirit, lead or drive the conference along the path of righteousness, and lift Europe to the heights of prosperity. happiness and peace. One thine is sure, and that is that Europe is today under "the power of darkness,” and far removed from the kingdom of light and truth. Not even during the war was there such a challenge to Christianity, to Christian teachers, to the Christian spirit. Efr"lishmen, Frenchmen, Germans, Italians and Russians and the rest are . Christians in name. They are, if Christianity is true, bound together, by ties that are enormously stronger than reaties and ententes, bound to gether in a common brotherhood. Yet of all this there does not seem . to be the slightest unconsciousness. Soj far have we drifted from the truth] that such statements as those just | made will seem to many, even to ’ many Christians, to be foolishly fan-: ciful. and to have no bearing whatever on practical affairs, such as the Genoa, conference is dealing with, good enough for Sunday, and not to be taken too seriously even then. But we are told that hate is the only
thing that stands in the way of the salvation of Europe. Are we to understand, then, that hate is practical? If not, and surely it is not, there anc be no more practical influence than the one that operates to destroy it. If it is not possible for Christians in France, Germany, England and the other nations to work together and | THE CRYSTAL I TONIGHT B “AN UNWILLING J HERO” B A big Goldwyn produc- H ■ lion, featuring the fam- ■ ous character star, |g| *■ Will Rogers. mh They called 1> i m B “Whistling Dick.” Deep B pl down in the happy ho- B B bo’s soul dwealt a love B fc of harmony.

1' live together m Chrietlans, It can be only because there is something , wrong with their Christianity—and ours is not much better. The whole ir >. world is longing for peace, and yet lr it can not have peace because it is ir fjnld that nations distrust and hate one another. Need peoples distrust and s a hate one another? ® It has been suggested that there be 0 a league of Christians. We need great preachers of the gospel of reconcilia 0 tion. great missionaries, men with a I i vision unlimited by national boundar ! les, and who believe in the possibility j of a true City of God. Is not the time ripe nnd the need sore? Mankind . seems to be strlken with blindness ; and Insanity, and can not see that the thing to be saved is not this or that nation, but mankind itself. Inot only Europe, but Christianity is in danger If it does not function it will die. The 1 world is full of poor, brokenhearted people, of captives, and the world it self is blind. It is time to have done
with hate and to give the divine love a chance. If the spirit of hate is not killed, it will kill us and murder civ ilization.

The high esteem in which John W Tyndall is held by his fellow citizen! was demonstrated in Tuesdays pri mary when out of a total of abou 4.000 votes less than three hundrei j were cast against him.

The defeat of Senatpr New is taker ■by most national writers to mean t I repudiation of the Harding adminis I i tration. The senator made his cam paign on a straight out platform—holi up the hands of the president and in ; sisted that his defeat would be a jolt ■to the administration.

year is ended. Secretary of State Hughes may be able to converse with Ambassadors Harvey In Ijondcm, Herrick tn Paris and Houghton In Berlin, simply by lifting a telephone receiver off the hook. So rapid is the progress being made in radio telephony, that within a few months or a year citizens of one country will be able to talk with the people of another country thousands of miles away with title more difficulty than they now find in calling up their neigh bors, the National Geographic Society stated today in a survey of radio de- . velopments. \ The United States is particularly well equipped with radio facilities for | alking across the seas, as the bulk of he most powerful radio stations in he world either are in this country >r under the control of this govern■nent. Radio telephony is making 1 rapid progress and soon will catch 1 tp witli its slightly older brother—ratio telegraphy—the society stated. Longest Wave Length. Only one radio station in the 1 world uses regularly a longer wave 1 ength than any station under the con- , rol of this government. And this sta- , ion was built by the United States tavy. It is the Lafayete station at lordeaux. France. It’s wave length s 23,000 meters, approximately It niles. Messages from this station are , eceived in Washington—4,ooo miles rom the source. The Lafayette sta- i ion occasionally is heard in French ndo-China. 6.000 miles away. The 1 tavy erected the station during the var and then sold it to France. However, the station will ( ’ot hold first place long, as its su- , tremacy is being challenged by the i commercial station recently opened on 1 Long Island. This station uses a wave J ength of 19,000 meters, or nearly 12 ; miles, and is employed in transmit- I ing messages to Germany, a distance 1 )f about 4.000 miles. Additional units ’ tow planned will give this station a ‘ treater wave length. The United States Navy’s station at t \nnapolis, Md., is assigned a wave of '7.145 meters roughly 101-2 miles), he third longest in use, but it is 'asily one of the world's most powerul stations. So is the Navy station it Cavite. Phillippine Islands, operat- ' ng on 13,900 meters. The Navy defends on the Annapolis station—which s operated, incidentally, by remote i. control by means of keys in the Navy luilding in Washington—to transmit nessages day in and day out over a •adius o fabout 5,500 miles. U. S. System Complete The United States Navy has the nost complete system of high power and stations for radio telegraphy of ill naval establishments. Southward >f the great Annapolis station it has imong its larger units the sending dant at Cayey, Porto Rico, using a 1 0,510 meter wave, and another at Rai >oa, Canal Zone, sending on 10,110 neters. The eastern portion of the ’acific is covered from the continent >y a station at San Diego, California md another on Puget Sound. The ormer uses waves of 9.800 meters and he latter of 7,100. In the Hawaiianl slands the Navy has two sending sta- 1 ions, one using 11.500 meters and the I rther 8,875. On Guam is a naval sta ion which sends on 9,145 meters; and inally, in the Philippines is the 13,900 ■leter station.

COULDN’T BEND HIB CLOTHES TO PRISON Kinatcm. N. C.. May 4—(United Press)—Claude Bush, convicted highwayman, went to stale's prison from here in a pair of overalls and hie un dershirt. Bush scored tn * battle of wilts with Jailer Thomas Conway. When sentenced to five years for the kidnapping and robbing of a Greenville taxi driver. Bush sent his only suit to his home at Elizabeth City. If the state insisted upon taking his person, it should not have his clothes, he declared. Conway said Bnsh should make the trip to the penitentiary, a hundred miles away, in a barrel. But Bush in a barrel would not fit in an automobile seat, nor could the combination be squeezed into a railroad coach seat without exposing more of th<> prisoner's a dam esq ue charms than the law would allow. Conway had to furnish the triumphant Bush pants. Prior to leaving the jail here, Bush had worn less clothing than a Fiji Islander at a beach party.
