Stewart, Imprisoned as Bri- tish Spy, Urged Ettglaild to Prepare. rf Enorand had heeded the warn- ing of a brave and devoted officer, Captain Bertrand Stewart, one of 6he fitst to lose his, lifi3 when R.w, tish troops joined the French in 13,4gium, the first phase of the \ewe :might not have been favorable' to ,the Gentian arms. Indeed, there probably would have. been no war, eays the New"York Sub. Catitain Stewart, it 'will he re- merribered, Was arrested in Gee - many nt the time the- Genntin naval bill of 1912 w.ae in preparadon, was accused of spying, was convicted, and 'was imprieoried for twoyears under the 17-10St rigorous conditions., When he was relleased he prepared a memorandum baked upon the kneWbedge''gaitied in those two years; of the beetility felt by Ger- Many toward England, hostility artfully concealed but none the less intense and menacing, and of, Ger- many's intention to attack as soon as a favorable moment came. Most of the developments of the last three =utile were predicted by Captain Stewart, who laboeed pas- sionately to C011YilIce the British Government and people than Von Bernhaaeli and hi e kind were not irresponsible madmen, but that they typified German sentim,ent and German pollicy. But Captain Stew- art's opinions and adviee were re- jected. The 'Government and peo- ple believed the friendly protesta- tions of Admiral von Tirpitz, the German Minister of Marine, and other agents, and slackened mili- tary and naval preparations at the very time Germany was most ener- getic. Captain Stewart warned England that he was certain be - 02, shadow of a doubt from his personal observations that Germany meant and wanted war, not peace. lie Was Laughed At. Whenthe war that he predicted came he did his simple duty. He went to the front, fought bravely and gave Ms life for his country. But he left as a legaey to the em- pire his private memorandum drawn up after his release from a wholly undeserved imprieo•nment. Foam his wit -law Archibald Hurd ob- tained a copy of the roemoranduen and describes its purpose in the London Daiily.Telegraph : Long before WAX was thought of by Government ar public, 'Canteen Stewart wrote in his memorandum : Theugh the mass of the German, people may not he hostile to us, they are saturated live in a state:which General Bern- hardi di•seribee as "wholly based on war," and are ruled by a Class which takes as its idea the 'theoeies of Frederick the Great, and would be prepared to act. toward Us as he acted toward Austria. , "That the ruling el•aes •ttim•s..at ac- quiring •eolonies and money from Great Britain.

But to obtain the eecessary money they have to persuade the people, the Reichstag and the Emperor that Great Britain has aggressive inten- tions. To do this they have, as I hope to prove, recourse to all pos- sible means. Experience has shown that cases of alleged espionage in Germany can be mist; usefully em- ployed to stir up public opinion, to influence members of the Reichstag and to persuade the Emperor:Tct this end they take steps, to instigate suet) eases to obtain convictions at all costs and generally to Use them as &meanie of showing the supposed hostile intentions of other coun- tries." Exactly this. happened in Captain Stewart's. own case. He was an ordinary • traveller in Germany, seeking ordinary relaxation and pleasure. He was suddenly arrest- ed, kept in jail for six inonths and then toed.

Destiny of Christianity. For what were "these things" for which Gallio d'id not care? To what was he so culpably indifferent? If we read the story as it is told in Acts we will find that 'Paul had ,been arrested on the charge of -cer- tain Jews, who claimed that he did not teach according to their Law. To us, looking back upon the scene in the perspective 4,1 history, the whole destiny of Christianity seems involved in this trial. But to Gal- lio, looking down upon the Nights Jews before Itim, ib very rightly seemed to he nothing but aziother instance of that bitter sectarian spirit which was rife among the Jews ef that time and was constant- ly bringing petty issues to the Ro- man officials for judgment.

'as we may add, left Paul free to go his way and to do his work. Itis 6 is true that Gallia was indif- lelRut Indifferent to What? Not to the fundamental re.alities. .of life; not to the basic principles, 'of ethics and religion; not to free - dem, justiCw and brotherhood. No ! indifferent to those things to which nT]:true and lofty souls have ever been indifferent - "words and nantea," and the dogmas of a eee- tarien fanaticism! With "the weightier matters of the law -jus- tice, mercy and faith," 'Gallio was vevy cleepl,v concerned, if we may trust the reports of him which have yeachecl us from classic . sources; but for "tithes of mint and enise and eunernin" and all similar ab- eertlities he cared nothing. And he was right 11 so ,confiBing the reaches of his sympathetic interest. Would that there had been more Carnes in Paul's time! Would that there, were more Gallios to -clay !

Rough John, tough John, bluff join' The man that carried his burden, the man that has the pull. His heart is full ot kindness, with never a drop Of gall, For old John Bull is the daddy of them all, There's many a lad to call 111 111 dad, and take the old inan's part; To swell hip might, to share his tight and cheer his loving heart, To bea-: his flag from cliff to crag and - thunder on the foe; Ten thousand sons to man his gene when the echoing bugles blow. From every land, from every strand, they come to the father's eali, Por old john Bull is the daddy of them all. The waves that roll from pole to pole still bear him on his way, Prom the purple gleams of morning's beams to the golden close of day; The heaving seas, the freshen in g breeze speed on his freighted ships, The roar that fills the startled hills leaps from his cannon's lips, The flags that fly to the bending sky are with his glory full; They tell ihe fame and spell the name of old John Bull.
