That the people of the world may be headed for a “war psychosis” is the solemn warning contained In a document signed by 339 psychiatrists from 30 nations. The Netherlands Medical association sponsors the document and has formed a Committee on War Prophylaxis. Copies of the scientific warning against war have been sent to leading statesmen, particularly in Europe, Deplore Suggestive Forces. Signed by an Italian army physician, by French, British; German and Austrian psychiatrists, as well as by representatives from such neutral nations as Holland, Belgium, Denmark and the United . the document warns statesmen that Twentieth century man still possesses strong, fierce and destructive Instincts which break loose as soon as the community to which he belongs feels itself threatened by danger. “The suggestive force of speeches made by leading statesmen is enormous and may be dangerous,” the warning reads. “The warlike spirit, so easily aroused by the cry that the country is in danger is not to be bridled, as was evident in 1914. ‘•Peoples, as well as individuals, under the Influence of suggestions like these may become neurotic. They may be carried away by hallucinations and delusions, thus involving themselves In adventures perilous to their own and other nations’ safety.” ■ War Arguments Erroneous. It is appalling to see how little the public and the statesmen alike are alive to reality In connection with vtar, the document states. “Arguments such as ‘War is the supreme Court of Appeal and ‘War is the necessary outcome of Darwen’s Theory’ are erroneous and dangerous. In view of the realities of modern warfare. “They camouflage a primitive craving for power, and are meant to stimulate the preparedness for war among , the speaker’s countrymen,” the statement continued. The science of psychiatry Is sufficiently advanced so that physicians can now distinguish between real, pretended, and unconscious motives, even in statesmen, the psychiatrists point out Past, Present, Future AU Have Reality, Says Jeans. British Scientist By DONALD CALEY LONDON. — Challenging the ■ scientific idea that time is linked with space and upholding the probability of free will in human action. Sir James Jeans, British astrophysicist, holds that science now “gives us every justification for reverting to our old Intuitional belief that the past, present and future have real objective meanings.” “We are free to believe that time is ' real," said Sir James in delivering the Sir Halley Stewart Trust public lecture. His address was interpreted as an attack on some of the ideas that Einstein's relativity and subsequent theories have introduced Into science and philosophy. Determinism resulting from relativity has tended temporarily. Sir James said, to put an end to all aspirations to make the world more comfortable, beautiful and just according to various individual ideals. “I don’t think that it can be maintained that such a view is forced upon us in any compelling manner by the facts of physics,” said Sir James. “At one time It seemed plausible because it gave a simple explanation of these facts but no one would maintain that it is the unique explanation. - i - “The situation is changed when we pass from the phenomena of physics to those of astronomy. When the theory of relativity was enlarged to cover the facts of astronomy. It became necessary to discard the symmetry of space and time which hitherto prevailed. Thus time regained a real objective existence although only on an astronomical scale and with reference to astronomical phenomena. DeSitter attacked the problem from the other end and reached the same conclusion. He began by postulating symmetry of space and time and found for such to prevail, the universe must be totally devoid of matter. In other words, space and time are Intrinsically different in their natures, which, of course, is precisely what the plain man believed.” Some Blast! 92 Tons of Explosives Used MOSCOW.—Over 92 tons of explosives were recently set off in a single blast at Podolsk, near here, to uncover valuable limestone deposits needed for cement plants. The limestone was buried with earth to a depth of 65 feet Forty thousand cubic meters of earth, an amount equal to a chunk 65 feet by 65 feet by 328 feet on its sides, were thrown nearly 400 feet into the air by the blast Shattered windows In adjoining villages were the only damage from the huge blast J o

Scientists Grow Virus Artificially x ■"■MHMMMHMmmMHMMMMMMto Seen as Step Toward Understanding “Flu” NEW YORK.—The virus that causes human influenza has been cultivated upon non-living food in a glass flask. This important step in understanding a disease that has caused widespread epidemics in recent years is announced by Drs. Thomas Francis, Jr., and Thomas P. Magill of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research. . Only last May Doctors Francis and Magill told the medical world that influenza virus, a substance beyond the reach of the microscope In- size, had been definitely Identified and that the same virus causes the disease In different parts of the world. Test With Mies. New they have satisfied themselves by careful tests upon mice that the dangerous transmitting virus will thrive and multiply upon non-living material In a glass flask, or “in vitro,” as the scientists say. The infection used came originally from a human patient in Puerto Rico, and this virus is known as ‘‘P. R. 8.” A mouse was infected and died of the disease. Material from his diseased lung was used to give the disease to another mouse and this was repeated until there had been 44 serial passages of the disease. Then attempt to grow the virus in the laboratory, not In the living animal, In vitro instead of in vivo, was made. Lungs of the forty-fourth afflicted mouse were ground, and then diluted with a special liquid, which was whirled at great speed and filtered through a fine porcelain substance to remove the slightest trace of anything that the microscope can detect A few drops of this liquid were planted upon a special food—“medium” the scientists call It —made from chick embryos. Ordinary tests for bacterial growth failed to detect anything. Artificial Virus Works. But when mice were Inoculated tn the nose with the fluid from the first the third and in all 20 serial transfers to the artificial medium, they contracted influenza just as surely as other animals, who were inoculated with similar quantities of virus that had never had to grow outside the living body. So Doctors Francis and Magill are able to report : “These facts indicate clearly that the virus has multiplied In vitro." Im|>ortant to possible development in the future of anti-influenza procedure for use in human cases, is the fact that the artificially cultured virus is inhibited In causing the disease by the specific anti-influenza immune serum, demonstrated previously to be present. Id the blood of animals such as ferrets, that had recovered from cases of influenza. It Is hinted by Doctors Francis and Magill that the living artificial rations, as it were, may possibly have changed somewhat the biological character of the virus. The scientists are working upon this problem. -Y Roosevelts Figure as History’s Creat Steamboat Builders ROOSEVELTS seem to have been into a bit of everything, during the long history of their family in America. The newest record of their multifarious activities has been turned up by Dr. S. C. Gilfillan, and is recorded in bls newlylaunched book, “Inventing the Ship" (Follett). To one Nicholas J. Roosevelt, described by Doctor Gilfillan as “a relative of our Illustrious President and distinguished bearers of the and whose great-grand-nephew the great, grand Theodore,” he gives credit for having probably been responsible for the adoption of paddlewheels as the means of propulsion on Robert Fulton’s successful steamboat, the Clermont, which made the famous voyage from New York to Albany In 1807. This Roosevelt obtained a patent on a paddlewheel In 1814. but he had bad the Idea long before that, and had urged its use upon other steamboat projectors besides Fulton. Nicholas Roosevelt persisted in his pioneering. Continues Doctor Gilfallan: “In 1811 he built for the FultonLivingston company the ‘New ‘Orleans.’ first steamboat afloat on ths Mississippi, married a daughter of John H. Latrobe, architect of the Capitol, and their first child was born on the first voyage.” This early Roosevelt was not the only steamboat builder whose ideas were used by the successful Fulton, universally credited by American school histories as the “inventor;’ of the steamboat. Fulton, In fact, used ideas from a score of sources and, to do him justice, never himself laid claim to particular fame as an inventor. lu Doctor Gilfillan’s opinion, Fulton’s success was based least of all on hls mechanical and Inventive abilities. Wherever he tried to Improve on the ideas he borrowed, he made them worse Instead. Fulton’s real genius,- Doctor Gilfillan maintains, lay in his combination of a modicum of mechanical Interest with real shrewdness in business. He “got a patent on the Hudson river”—a legis-. Lative grant from the state of New . York of monopoly righto in steam nav- | igation for 30 years, which enabled - him to chase off all rival steamboat ’ builders. With boats that would run at aIL an ideal river for steam navigation, and a real need for this kind of transportation, such a monopoly could hardly help making a lot of money.' The synthetic nature of Fulton’s invention, and the other factors contrib- . uting to his succes. Illustrate Doctor I Gilfillan’s main thesis: that Inventions are responses to pre-existing social needs, and that a major mechanism to never the brainchild of any one In-

’ IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY I chool Lesson By RSV p. B. FITZWATER. D. D. Member ot Faculty. Moody Bible Institute of Cbtoaco. • Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for December 15 EZRA TEACHING THE LAW OF 4 GOD LESSON 1 TEXT—Exra 7:10; Nehemiah S:l-ll. GOLDEN TEXT —Thy word have X hid in my ’Tieart, that I might not sin against thee. Psalm liS:IV PRIMARY TOPlC—Giving Thanks for God‘s Book. JUNIOR TOPlC—Giving Thanks foff God’s Book. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPlC—Studying the Bible Together. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Bible in National Life. This lesson is a fine Illustration of the rightful place of God’s Word In the life of a nation. The only cure for national ills Is a return to God and obedience to his Word. I The Teacher’s Spiritual Condition (Ezra 7:10). ’ . - He prepared hls heart to seek the law of the Lord, to do IL and to teach Israel the statutes and Judgments. 11. The Word of God Read (Neh. 8:1-3). 1. The eager assembly (v. 1). The people gathered together and requested Ezra to bring the book of the law. God had touched their hearts, creating within them a yearning <or his Word. 2. A representative assembly (v. 2). God’s Word should be taught to all classes—men, women, and children. The Spirit of God can speak through hls Word to the whole family sitting in the same pew. & An appreciative assembly (▼. 3). So eager were they to kpow God’s Word that they did not gH tired, although the. lesson laste<wbr five or six hours. When peopkTreatlze that God is speaking through 7 hls Word they will give attention. 111. The People’s Attitude Toward God’s Word (vv. 4-6). L Due reverence shown (vv. 4,5). When Ezra opened the law all the people stood up out of respect for God’s Word. 2. They joined heartily in prayer (v. 6). As Ezra led them tn prayer they united In saying, “Amen, Amen," bowing their faces to the ground. IV. God’s Word Being Interpreted (vv. 7,8). The attitude of the people toward . God’s Word largely depends upon the minister. Proper dignity and solemnity shoyld be manifested by the minister when reading the Holy Scriptures. 1. He stood up where the people could see him (v. 5). 2. He read distinctly (v. 8). The manner In which many read the Scriptures Is greatly to their discredit, as well as that of the reader. 3. He caused the people to understand (v. 8). The supreme business of the minister and teacher is to make the Word of God so plalq that old and young can understand. The explanation should be dear, simple, and definite. V. The Effect of Applying God’s Word to the Life of the People (vv. 9-18). 1. Conviction of sin (v. 9). The divine method of cbnvicting men of their sin is to have God’s Word applied by the Holy Spirit The Word of God is quick and powerful (Heb, 4:12). ' x 1 2. Weeping turned into joy (vt. 10-12). 12). When sins have been perceived and confessed there Is forgiveness. Continued mourning will not atone for past sins. Furthermore, it dishonors a pardoning God and even unfits the one for present tasks. Joy has a salutary effect upon one’s entire being. “The joy of the Lord is your strength. ’ 3. Blessings were shared with others (vv. 10-12). True joy manifesto itself In giving to others. Pure religion goes out to minister to the poor (James 1:27). Godliness is not content with having a good time alone. 4. The people obeyed. From the reading of the Scriptures they that the feast of the taberqacles’had been neglected. They kept this sacred feast in away that s had not been since the days of Joshua. 5. They separated themselves from ' the uugodly (13:1-3). As soon as they had heard the Word of God they separated themselves from the mixed multitude. 6. The house of worship was cleared and order restored (13:4-14). No nation or people can be strong which neglects the worship of the true God. 7. The Sabbath was restored (13: 15-22). Israel had long violated the Sabbath. To Ignore the essential law of the Sabbath is national suicide. Unnumbered evils followed in the wake of the desecration of God’s holy day. ’ 8. God’s law of marriage restored (13:23-31). Some of those who had intermarried with the heathen were brought face to face with their sin. They separated themselves from their ungodly companions. God’s favor cannot be enjoyed by those who live In disobedience to his Word. Living Noble Life A life spent in brushing clothes and washing crockery and scrubbing floors; a life which the .proud of the earth would hav«l trqjred as the dust be- , neatb the feet; a life spent at the clerk’s desk: a life spent in the narrow shop; a life spent in the laborer’s hut. may yet be a life so ennobled by God's loving mercy that for the sake of it a king might gladly yield hls crown.—Dean Farrar. t “ Failure Failure Is only postponed success so long as courage “coaches" ambition. No one wave can batter down the rocks; It’s the eternal pounding away of the surf, that changes the shore line. The habit of persistence Is the ■ habit of victory.—Herbert Kaufman. Elation If every day. we can feel. If only for a motneuu the, elation of being alive, the realization of being our best selves, of filling our destined scope and trend, we may be suto that we are succeeding.—Bliss Carman
