decided -to ;go up Imbed:lately after

of petiole and sanctity. Just as we

"The material for the manufacture

secured by the reclamation of the

It includes the clippings and woollen

Poor cloth, they say, is as often,
made of, virgin wool as it is of re-

mixture of the two that produces a,

ment --that is, one made of virgin
wool—would be prohibitive to most
persons. .
Thus it will be seen -that the term
shtdy is not always a term of re-
pro, ch indicating inferiority, but
that, on the other hand, the iadustry
of linaking wool shoddy, or reclaim-

was a situation which 1 coold not
handle alone, and r at once telephon-
ed for a Turkish interpreter. 1
While Waiting for his arrival I del-
layed the operations of the police, -
men, and my wife; who §fortunatelY
speaks Freneln was obtaining all the
details front Che sisters. Mrs. Mor-
genthau understood, the Turks well
enoughto know that they had other
plans than the mere expulsion of the
sisters and their charges The Turkii
regard these institutions as repositor-.
ies of treasure; the valuables which
they contain-, are greatly exaggerated
in the popular mind, and it was a
safe assuniption that, among other
things, this expulsion was an iodate-
trious raiding expedition for tangible
evidences of wealth. ..
• "Have you any money and other
valuables here?" Mrs. Morgenthan
asked one of the sisters.
Yes, they had in fact quite a little;
it was kept in a safe upstairs. My
wife told me to keep the policemen,
busy and -then she and one or the
sisters quietly disappeared from the ,
scene. Upstairs the sister disclosed
about a hundred square pieces of
/tonne' into which had been sewed
twenty gold mins. In all the Sion
soeurs had in this liquid form 'about
fifty thousand francs. They- had
been fearing expuleion, ter aetiae, time

Certainly -here was something that
would appeal to Turkish cupidity.
Mrs., nfongenthau knew that if the
police once obtaened control of the
building there would be little likeli-
hood that the Sion sisters would ever
see their money again. With the aid
of the sisters, my -wife promptly con-
cealed as much as she could on her
person, descended the stairs, and
marched through a line of gen-
darmes out into the rain. Mrs. *or-
eenthau told me afterward that her
blood almost ran cold with fright as
she passed by these • guardians ef
the law; from all external signs,
however, she was absolutely calna
and collected. She stepped into the
waiting auto, was driven to the Am-
- erica Erabasay, placed. the moi• tey
in our vault, and promptly returned
to*the school. Mrs. Mongenth'au re-
turned to the convent. I, The sisters
showed her a hole in the floor and
again disclosed a little heap of gold
coins. This was secreted on 'Mrs.
Morgenthauts clothes and once mote
she tiled past the gendarmes out into
the rain, and was driven rapidly to
the Embassy: In. these two trips she
succeeded in getting the money of
the sisters to a safe place.

he well might be, by the guise in
which German learning presented it-

plates • te the promotion of a coun-
ter -manifesto, intended as an appeal
to moderate men through"out the
world. Needless to say, Dr. Nicol
was not successful in obtaining sig-
natures to his manifesto, and he next.
purposed developing his 'Ideas in the

ter of 1915. This scheme also fail-

tbe influence of which cannot fail to
be far-reaching and enduring.
• Dr. Nicolai's dreft -manifesto re-
printed in the earlier pages Of his
.work, is kdeserving of study, Mese
much as 'it indicates the ideas by
which he was inspired 'during the
first weeks of the war. The follow-
ing passage, to a certain eictent rem-
iniscent of some of Mr. Wilson's
later utterances, may be quoted:
- "It therefore appears not merely

that educated men of . all states

the fact that all European relation-
ships have fallen as a result of this
war into a mobile and plastic condi-
tion should be made use of to create
an orgaigo unity'eut of Europe."—
(p. 19;)'
Nicolai's object in writing his
work is, briefly described, to analyze
the nature of war and to discuss Its
place in the development I of human-
i;ty. In the pursuit of his task he
observes a dispassamate objectivity
which at times almost grates upon
