wound up with the assertion that the

rights of the people or the rights of
the btown beats should be paramount;
am) that Dr. Hornaday seemed to fav- t

of ’he matter got so deep under the
hide of the naturalist that he applies
f -omt' unpleasant epithets to Mr. Dray
ton and demands that the Sewardite
come through with ‘‘an unqualified
a|>ology“ to the readers of the World
• and to himself for conveying a mis
leading impression of the brown bear's ,
character, which he construes as "ma- ■
liciously unjust” to himself personally.

FORTY MINISTERS WILL
VISIT EUROPEAN COUNTRIES
NEW YORK. June 2:?— Cultivation
of international friendship for the
United States will be the purpose of
a delegation of 10 ministers who have
been appointed to visit IP European
countries this summer as representa
tives of the Federal Council of Chur
ches of Christ in America.
The ministers are of several de
nominations and include the pastors of
churches all over the country.
In explaining the purpose of the
Federal Council’s “friendly visitors,
the Rev. Arthur J. Brown, Secretary
of tin* Presbyterian Board of Foreign
Missions, New York and chairman of
the Committee on Fraternal Relations
of the Commission on Relations with
Religious Bodies in Europe, said:
‘ We feel that such an association
of our religious bodies would mater
ially contribute to the success of the
League of Nations. We deeply regret
that up to this time our own nation
has not officially entered into the Lea
gue. We believe that a large majority
of the American people and especially
of the clergy and laity of our churches
are in favor of the League and earn
estly hope that the United States will
soon become a member of it. Mean
time. wo feel that (hnstian men
should make all the stronger effort to
develop those moral and spiritual as
sociations between the nations, which
are afterall the things of highest im
port a nco.” &
