YOUNG FRIENDS CONFERENCE TO OPEN TONIGHT

Dr. Edwards to Discuss Need of Faith and. Idealism in Opening Address. '. The dual program of life In which "we would be sure we are right and then seek points of contact," will be discussed by President David M. Edwards of Earlham college in the opening address of the Young Friends conference at Earlham, Friday night, at 7:30 o'clock. Dr. Edwards will present the question of the superiority of faith over logic with reference to the fact that the hypothetical is found in science, and a corresponding hypothetical in religion. "Which test is right? If logic is the final test then the hypothetical is of little value in religion and science. We know the realm of the spiritual even more certainly than the material, and as the ship is guided by the compass so a man can also reach harbor by minding the compass implanted in his breast," said Dr. Edwards in discussing his subject. He points out that the Importance of general principles underlying the course of action cannot be overestimated, he says pointing out that a definite program is a straight line, and that the straight line is the shortest possible distance between two points. Ideals Held Practicable. The Ideals of Quakerism today and in the past have been called impracticable, and Friends have been on a veritable frontier of ideals. Tht.se stands taken against slavery and intemperance were considered Impracticable, he pointed out, but they are no longer. The stands taken in the present war were and are still called "impracticable Ideals" said he, adding that it is the duty of all Friends to "hustle history" and hustle the day when these ideals shall be more than "impracticable thoughts." Paul Furnas, president of the Young Friends board and Clarence Pickett, executive secretary of the board were the leaders in a devotional service Thursday evening preceding the opening of the Young Friends conference proper tonight. Plans for the most Intensive and best years' work of the Young Friends organizations, the purpose and outgrowthts of the conference were discussed.

HERE'S ONE SECRET TREATY NOT O. K.'D BY PEACE CONFERENCE; BERLIN AND TOKIO, IN 1918, PLANNED TO GOBBLE UP ASIA

A copy ol the secret treaty between Japan and Germany that was being negotiated just before the Hohensollern collapse, has teen found. It provided for th EPISCOPAL BISHOP TESTIFIES FOR FORD (By Associated Press) MT. CLEMENS, Mich., July 25. Bishop Charles D. Williams, of Detroit, an Episcopal minister and lec turer, testified today for Henry Ford, in Mr. Ford's $1,000,000 libel suit against The Chicago Daily Tribune. Bishop Williams interrupted the procession of Tribune witnesses by agreement of counsel, as he had to be in New York tomorrow. His testimony was intended to refute that of Professor Reeves, of the University of Michigan, who some time ago testified that many of Mr. Ford's ideas were anarchistic. He was questioned by Attorney Alfred Lucking, senior counsel for Mr. Ford. "What is an anarchist?" asked Mr. Lucking. "One who believes, advocates and works for the elimination of government, and does so by violent means." Attorney Lucking quoted Mr. Ford as advocating a world viewpoint rather than the national viewpoint. "Is there anything in that that is peculiarly anarchistic?" The question brought on arguments of counsel in which Attorney Alfred J. Murphey said that the ideas of Mr. Ford were those of the Christian religion and were generally held by high philosophy. Bishop Williams said the remark of Mr. Ford was not peculiarly anarchistic, but was a sentiment occurring frequently in the Bible, as "Love thy neighbor as thyself." - Jew Pogroms in Poland Confirmed by American NEW YORK, July 25. "The world will he staggered when it learns the true figures in regard to the number of Jews slaughtered in Poland and the Ukraine,' was the declaration made today by Louis Marshall as he landed today from the French Line steamer Touraine. He had been abroad since March investigating Jewish problems in Europe. With Dr. Marshall, who is Acting president of the Jewish Theological Seminary of the New York, was Dr. Cyrus Adler. president of Cropsie col lege, at Philadelphia. Pa. Discussing reports of pogroms in Poland and the Ukraine, Dr. Marshall said: "Tens of thousands of Jews have been killed. The pogroms were not so much the result of an organized movement as they were the outgrowth of unsettled, anarchistic tendencies in the countries where they took place. Those conditions found expression In attacks on Jews." Air Mail Pilots Want ' Their Safety Insured j BELMONT PARK, N. Y., July 25.

Under Equipped Russians Drive Back Bolsheviki I (By Associated Press) PARIS, July 25. Twenty thousand i Russians, many of them bare-feet and without rifles and unsupported by heavy artillery, compose the Northern Russian army whose front extends from the Finnish coast to Pskov and which is driving back toward Petrograd a Bolshevilk army four times as large, according to reports received here from officers of the American relief aadmlnistratlon on the scene. These officers are working, part of the time under Bolshevik lire, endeavoring to provision and to provide medical supplies to this army, made up chiefly of Russians under prominent old-time Russian leaders.

Woman Finds Brother in "Death Row" After Nineteen Years Search COLUMBUS, July 25 The sister of Edward Ness, who was convicted of having murdered William Thie, of Cincinnati, today found her brother, for whom she has been searching 19 years, in the death house of the Ohio Penitentiary. Mrs. Lillian Wilson, of Columbus. Ness's sister, then heard the story of the downfall of her brother, beginning with his running away from home when he was 16 years old. She refused to give up hope of saving her brother, and left the cell with a farewell promise that she would make a final apeal to Ohio officials in an attempt to save his life. Mrs. Wilson saw the pictures of eight men, who are awaiting execution in the penitentiary, when she was reading a Columbus newspaper today. One of them closely resembled her brother, of whom she had been attempting to obtain a trace for 19 years, and she went to the prison in search of him.

LESLIE SHAW GIVES PEACE TREATY VIEW CRAWFORDSV1LLE, Ind., July 25. Leslie M. Shaw, of Iowa, formerly secretary of the treasury of the United States, who was in Crawfordsville last night to participate In a joint debate at a Chautauqua on government ownership of the railroads with Prof. Charles Zubelin, of Chicago, believes the league of nations covenant and the peace treaty will be ratified by the United States senate, but with amendments and reservations. "The league pact, as now written. Is not satisfactory to us," Mr. Shaw, who is a Republican, said in an interview. "As now written the league does not say the United States 6hall exercise Its own judgment and wishes regarding immigration and the exclusion of the oriental. We may adopt the covenant, but we will give notice that we will control our own immigration question regardless of the league. The Monroe doctrine also is not amply protected. We may sign, but our reservation will make it clear to the world ha we inend to see hat the Monroe doctrine is protected and upheld by us at whatever cost. The Shantung Provision. "We did not approve of the Shantung steal by Japaras the price which President vilson was willing to pay to induce Japan to enter the league. This is a most abominable feautre and when the senate indorses the league the world will know that we decidedly disapproved of this outrage against China. Then, too, we want the world to know that we will never go to war unless the congress so declares. On the other hand we reserve the right to go to war when and where we please, regardless of what the league may say, if w feel that our honor, sovereignty or freedom is in danger." Mr. Shaw said that, in his Judgment, President Wilson went to the peace conference with the sole idea of writing at the top of the paper on which the treaty was written the words "league of nations.' Being permitted to write that, he consented to the rest of the nations around the conference table writing beneath these words that which they desired, Mr. Shaw thought. When asked whether the league of nations would be a party issue in the 1920 campaign. Mr. Shaw said in his opinion it would not, but added, "the Republicans in the senate who opposed so vigorously President Wilson's first draft of the league, had performed valuable service to the nation in the changes which they secured for the best interests of the United States." Frenchman Makes Plea for Early Ratification NEW YORK. July 25 A plea for early ratification of the peace treaty because of the necessity "for all of us to go back to our work, to prevent strikes and strike agitation," was made by Baron D'Estournelles de Constant, a member of the French senate, in an address here last night before the council of foreign relations, on the eve of his departure for France. "I will vote for the treaty as it is," he said. "We will amend it after. Our mutual good will is sure to be more than its text, the real instrument to organize a durable league of nations." The text of the treaty, he said, is not as important for the people of the world as the spirit which will inspire its application. "If the governments who hare sign"try can use the treaty, imperfect as ed it really want peace," he added, it is as a compromise much more effective and durable than the most strict, but insincere obligation. The baron warned against "the alarmists who are eatisfied to pretend that the feelings between France and the United States have changed since the war is finished, and that this change is the beginning of the end of the Franco-American entente." He characterized such rumors as "not only a lie, but a complete misunderstanding of the most natural situation." He said he was returning to France "more confident than ever of the solidity of the everlasting union of our two great republic sisters."

JUDGE ADVOCATES s LIMITED DIVORCE; STRINGENT LAWS Limited divorces, and a greater length of time before an applicant is granted a marriage license must be fixed by law, if Indiana is to get away from the divorce evil, according to Judge W. A. Bond, Judge of the Wayne circuit court. Legislation regulating marriage and divorce must begin at both ends of the contract, the Judge believes, if the evil is to be overcome. "I am heartilly in favor of limited divorces," Judge Bond said Friday morning, "and I hope that the legislature will pass an act giving th court power to place a limitation of at least two years on all divorces, during which

period neither party will be allowed to remarry'. "In this way a large number of divorces, whether either or both of the parties to the suit only wish a divorce for the purpose of remarrying in gratification of a passing Infatuation, will be kept out of court. "In passing a law such as this, the legislature should make it possible for the court to grant a limited divorce, regardless of the desires of the parties to this suit. "This limitation of two years, could then be, at its expiration, either made absolute, or as I believe in a number of cases, the difficulties will be straightened out and the couple wl live together again as man and wife." Condemns Secrecy. Judge Bond also scored the laws of the state which allow persons to obtain marriago licenses and becoma married within a very short time, with only their own statements to prove their right to become married. According to the judge, at least a month should elapse from the time a marriage License is applied for until the license 1b granted and the parties are allowed to wed. "There is entirely too much secrecy in marriages today, and a great J many young people do not realize the I seriousness and the importance cf a marriage contract. I am heartily against these hurried, runaway marriages, and in a great number of cases these marriages are up in divorce court !n less than two years." The war had little effect on the number of divorces in Wayne county, unless it was to cut down the number. i Numerous instances have arisen j where men started living with their ; wives again during the war to escape service in the army, although there i have been a few cases before th ! court where the actions while the i husband was in the service, of one or 'other of the parties have been given j as the cause for complaint.
