British Need Bones of Okwawa, Demanded
From the Germans in the Peace 'T'reaty, to
. »Maintain Rule in East Africa.
NEW YORK, June IL.—The
of Moslem Caliph and an Bast Afri
ecan Sultan, dead hundreds of years,
haunt the corridors of the Royal Pal
ace at Versailles, seat of the: peace
conference.
What is more, their wanderings af
feet the ponderous deliberations of
that body and more remarkable—are
:-cstex;:.!ly embodied in the peace treaty
It is not said In jest. It is an ac
tual faet, written in cold black and
white by the Allied Powerg into the
most momentous document that ever
a German found himself forced (o
The foßowing payagraph in the
treaty might have ben transplanted
direct from the Arabian Nights:
" “Germany is to restore within six
ths the Koran of the Caliph Oth
man, formerly at Medina, to the King
of Medjaz, and the skull of the Sul
tan Okwawa, formerly in German
Fast Africa, to his Britannic Majes
_A¥'s Governmendt.”
~ Why should the Altied Powers con
cern then;selm with quersome relics
of such highly Oriental flavor?
Here is another odd stipulation:
“In addition to the above, Germany
#8 to hand over to Belgium wings
now at Berlin belonging to the altar
plece of the ‘Adoration of the Lamb’
(by Hubert and Jan Van Eycks), thel
center of which is In the Church of
Bt. Bavon at Ghent; and the wings
pow at Berlin and Munich of the al- I
tar-piece of the ‘Last Supper (by
Dirk Bouts), the center of which be-
Jongs to the Church of St. Peter at
Louvain. CGermany is to restore to
France certain documents and cor
respondence stolen and carried off to
Berlin by Prince Bismarck in the war
of 1870.”
NOT SO QUEER.
‘Jvowto the reasons for these queer
demands which are not so queer after
all, once one knows why. .
The Koran of the Caliph Othman
38 one of the holiest of holy things
to the Mosdem world. Think of a
manuscript copy of St. John's gospel
in St. John’s own handwriting and
you have some idea of the reverence
in which this copy of the Koran is.
The Caliph of Othman was Moham
met's son-in-law. He wrote his fa
~mous version in the Koran soon af
'ter the death of the %mphen, and it
_Wwag accepted as the authentic ver
~gion. "Phree copies of it were made.
This was done in 664, and all other
€opies of the Koran were' hurned. I
. For more than 1,200 years the
Koran reposed in Medina, the Holy
€ity, and then, when the Arabs and
British under General Allenby ad
vanced upon Medina, Enver Pasha
and a body of Turkish troops in his
eommand removed the sacred docu- |
ment from the city.
Before the end of the war the Al-
Bes recognized the King of the Hedjas
as political successar to Mahomet and
head of the Moslem peoples Posses
on of the Othman Koran will con
his right to this office |
" WMORE THAN SENTIMENT.
. Mhws is more than mere sentiment
#n this stipulation of the treaty. We
find a similar situation with regard
to the skull of the black Saultan
Okwawg. This skull was to the na
tives of the Dark Continent what thes
King's seal was to subjects of a,
medieval European monarch—a sy
‘ol of power and authority.
During the war the Germans se--
eured it, and w/h it the allegiance
of a multitude of natives. But now
German Rast Africa is to be made
@ British mandatory, and Britain is
to hold the skull as a symbol of her
authority.
Now who were Hubert and Jan Van
Eyck, and why is Belgium so anxious
&“Qe back her altar-piech of Dirk

would have dreamed of asking such

a question as “Who are Hubert and
Jan Van Eyck?” It §ould have been
like saying, “Who is Woodrow Wilson
and what is Central Park?” ‘
For 500 years the world rang with
the praise of Hubert and Jan Van
Eyck. They were three of the
greatest painters in the Flemish
school and they lived #h the days
when people were just ag interested
in painting as we of today are in
INVENTED OIL PAINTING.
' Jan Van Eyck was the inventor of’
‘modern oil painting. Before his time
painters worked in a sort of dis
temper that had to be dried in the
sun at the pisk of cracking. Painters
used to get tired of having good work
spoiled before it was dry, but until|
Jan Van Byck's day nobody thought
of linseed oil and varnish that could
dry in the shade.
As for the greater altar-piece that
s mentioned in the peace treaiy, it
is the most important work of the
early Flemish schpol. I was com
pleted in 1843, and an inscription on
the frame, discovered under the paint
when the frame was sceaped in 1§24,
explains how the work was done.
“The Painter Hubert Van Eyck,
than whom no greater hgs been
found, began this work which Ja.n.‘
his inferior in art, gladly finished at
the prayer of Jadocus Vydt. By this
verse the 6th of May invites you to
see that which has been done, 1432."
Jan thus attempted to exal the
fame of his dead brother Hubaert,
above his own, but posterity ruted
otherwise. Jan's name is greater than
Hubert's.
Hubert Van Eyck was born in 1306
and died in 1426, Jan was born in
1342 and died in 1441. Both were
citizens of Ghent. To them the sud
den - and marvelous development of
painting in Flanders in the fifteenth
century was due. They changed and
remodeled the traditiopal bhabits of
the earlier schools.
LEARNED CRAFT EN ITALY.
Hubert learned his craft in Italy
and later went back to Ghent and
joined the painter’s guild of the city.
There he was commissioned to paint
a large altar piece for the chapel of
Vydt family in the cathedral. This
altar piece was destined to become
very famous. It is the altar piece
mentioned in the peace freaty.
Hubert died before the work was
complete, and his brother Jan, who
was already famous, took up the
work. In a short time Jan had
eclipsed the brother's fame and had
been appointed “Peintre et valet de
chambre” to John of Bavaria, Prince
of Liege. He lived three years at
Lille, became ambassador to Portugal,
and there painted the portrait of the
Infanta JlsabeHa. His mission was
delicate. It was his task to seek the
hand of the Infanta Isabella for the
Duke of Burgundy, to whom he had
‘been appointed court painter. (AI
court painter’s salary in those days
was SIOO a year, which was a lot ot‘
money.)
I So highly was Jan esteemed thatl
the Duke of Burgund@y himself was
godfather to his daughter. I
The altar piece l%sel{ is eleven feet
higk in the centerland fourteen feet
from end to end of the wings, which
are made to close up. The coloys of
Im«- outside panels are subdued, and
this heightens the contrast, so that
when they are opened the interior
seems to glow with color,
Until Jan Van Ecky's day no such
marvelous painting has been seen in
Flanders. Crowds flocked to see it
and large sums were charged for ad
mission to the cathedral. On feast
days the public were admitted free,
BOUGHT BY GERMANY,
The wings of the altar piece that
are now in Berlin, and that Belgium
‘want.s back, were bought by the Ger
mans through a dealer in 1814 at the
time when Belgium was the battle-

Fiume by Old-
Fraud Treaty
ARIS, June 14.—Dr. Trum-
P biteh, Foretgn Minister of
the Serbs, Croate and Slove=
nos, has shown members of the
British press an interesting docu
ment connected with Fiume, illus
trating the rivalry which has al
ways exitsed between Hungary and
Croatia for possession o! this town.
it formed part of the evidence
which he laid before the council
of four when he was invited to
address them on the Adriatic prob
lem.
The document is the original
text of a compromise drawn up be
tween Croatia and Hungary In
1868 and embodied in the form of
a law which was signed by Francis
Joseph as Emperor. The agree
ment arrived at was deliberately
falsified by the Hungarian Govern
ment after the Emperor’s signature
had been affixed.
The method emplcyed was the
simple one of pasting over the
original clause another one which
purported to enact that Fiume
should be a separate corporation
attached to Hungry.
In virtue of this falsified docu
ment, the Hungarians seized con
trol of the administration of the
town. aola
Igm\md of France, Britain and Ger
many.
I Copies of them have been made, and
the whole altar piece restored, so that
the people of Ghent may still see
what it was like in the olden days.
But copies are worthless compared to
the originals, and considering what
hayoc Germany has wrought to Bel -
giant art treasures the Allies now de-
Icl:u-e Belgium is entitled to the re
iturn of -the . Wings.
i The demand for the return of the
Dirk Bouts works is a similar piece
of poetic justice. The great altar
piece for which he is most famous be
fongs to Louvain, and the wings are
now in Germany. |
Dirk Bouts was the son of a Haar
lem landscape painter, and he settled
jin Louvain in 1448. He was appoint
ed civic portrait painter. In this ca
pacity he painted many works which
still adorned the Hotel de Ville when
the Germans arrived there in 1914.
Whether they survived the sack of
the city had not been announced. In
1468 Bouts was commissioned to paint
a large cryptic of the Last Supper,
and this is the altar piece mentioned
in the peace treaty.
Shutters of the altar {;lioce. repre
senting Abraham and Melchisedech
and the gathering of the manna, are
at Munich, and wings depicting thel
eatjing of the Passover and the angel
bringing food to Elias are at Berlin.
They were bought for the Berlin and
‘Munich galleries through dealers. For
Imaking his famous altar piece Bouts
was paid 260 Rhenish florins. I
THE STOLEN PAPERS.
The papers stolen for Bismarck in
the 1870 war are valuable to France
because they went a long way toward
making possible the war of 1914-18.
They were the instrument in a great
scheme of international blackmail.
Briefly, this is their story: Just be
fore the war of 1870 the French Min
ister of State, Rouher, warned Na
poleon 111 that in th® event of P‘mnchl
reverses in the war the whole coun
tryside would rise against the Em
peror. Accordingly all the private pa-I
pers of Napoleon 111 were removed to
Rouher's chateau at Cercay to pre
vent them falling imto the hands of
the populace, which, fulfilling Rou
her's prediction, rose in revolt in
Paris and deposed Napoleon. |
The (Germans discovered the papers
at Cercay by accident. Bismarck
found that they implicated some of
the Sownthern German States in a plot
with France against Prussia. Later
Bismarck used the knowledge he ob-|
gained to whip the Southern States
nto submission, and thus the Ger
man Empire came imto being. ‘
The German documents are so volu
minous that after he had had them
a year Bismarck said he had not had |
time to examine them all. They con
tain revelations which would ruin the
reputations of statesmen and princes
stin living., And now France is to
Ihuve them back.

Thirst for Immortality P{oves We
Have Souls, Says Cardinal Gibbons
Greatest Consolation Is the Practice of Virtue,
But No Person Can Be Contented With Any
“Happiness That Is Finite.
{ By CARDINAL GIBBONS,
Archbishop of Baltimore and Dean of the Roman Catholic Hierarchy in
America.
HE soul is the principle by
I which we live and move
and have our being. It is
that which forms and perpetuates
our identity; for it makes us to be
the same yesterday, today and for
ever. The soul has intellectual con
ceptions and operations of reason
and judgment independent of ma
terial organs.
Our own experience clearly teach
es us this important point. Our
minds grasp what the senses can
not reach. Such a principle being
independent of matter in its op
erations must needs be independent
of matter also in its own being.
1t is, therefore, of its nature sub
ject to no corruption resulting from
matter, lits life, which is its being,
is not extinguished and can not be
extinguished with that of the body.
It is well known that there is a
constant waste going on in every
part of the human body which has
to be renovated by daily nutri
ment. 8o steady is this exhaus
tion that, in the judgment of med
ical science, an entire transforma
tion of the physical system occurs
every seven or eight years. New
flesh and bone and tissues are sub
stituted for those you had before.
The hand with which you wr‘t&
the brain which you exercise'in
thinking are composed of entirely
different materials. And yet you
comprehend today what you
garnod ten years ago, you re
ember and love those with whom
vou were then associated. How is
this? You no longer use the iden
tical organic substance you then
possessed,
Does it not prove that the fae
ulty called the soul, by which yom
think, remember and love, is dis
tinet from organic matter; that
while the body is constantly chang
ing the sou! remains the same;
that it doeg not share in the pro
cess of decomposition and renewal
through which the human frame is
passing and, therefore, that it is
a spiritval substance?
BELIEF UNIVERSAL.
We may find nations without
cities, without the arts and
sciences, without mechanical in
ventions or any of the refinements
of civilized life, but a nation with
out some presentiment of the ex
istence of a future state we' shall
search for In vain.
Now, whence comes this uni
versal belief in man’s immortality?
Not from prejudice arising from
eduecation; for we shall find this
conviction prevailing among rude
people who have no education
whatever, among hostile tribes and
among nations at the opposite
poles of the earth who have never
had intercourse with one an
other,
‘We must, therefore, conchade that

. rooted must have been planted in
the human breast by Almighty God,
Just as He has implanted in us an
instinctive love for truth and jus
tice and an inveterate abhorrence
of falsehood angd injustice. Not
only has mankind a firm belief in
the immortalty of the soul, but
there s inborn in every human
breast a desire for perfect felicity
o happiness. This' desire is so
strong in man that it is the main
. spring of all his actions.
CRAVING NOT SATISFIED.
Now, God would never have
planted in the human heart this
craving after perfect happiness un
less He had intended that the de
sire should be fully gratified; for
He never designed that man should
be the sport of vain and barren
hopes. He never creates any
thing in vain; but He would have
created something to no purpose
if He had given us the thirst for
perfect bliss without imparting (o
us the means of assuaging it.
It is true that this desire never
can be fully realized in the present
life. Can earthly goods adequately
satisfy the cravings of the human
heart and fill up the measure of its
desires? Experience proves the
contrary. Can honors fully Brat
ify the longings of the soul? No.
The more brilliant and precious the
erown, the more heavily it presses
upon the brow that wears it.
Can earthly pleasures make one
so happy as to lgave nothing to be
desired? Assuredly not. The keen
edge of delight soon becomeg blunt
ed. We find great comfort in this
life in the society of loving friends,
bit how frail is the thread that
binds friends together? Anpther
source of exquisite delight is found
in the pursuit of knowledge. The
higher we ascend the mount of
knowledge, the broader becomes our
view of the vast fields of science
that still remain uncultivated by us.
But the greatest oonsolation at
tainable in this life is found in the
pursuit and practice of virtue.
This consolation arises from the
well founded hope of future bliss
rather than the fulfillment of our
desires. Thus we see that neither
riches nor honors, nor pleasures,
nor knowledge, nor the endear
ment of social and family ties, nor
the pursuit of virtue, can fully sat
isfy our aspirations after happi
pess. The more delicious the cup,
the more bitter the thought that
death will dash it to pieces.
TRUE HAPPINESS.
Wow, if God has given us a de
stre for perfect happiness, which
He intends to one day fully grat
ify, and if this happiness, as we
have seen can not be found in the
present life, it must be reserved
for the life to come. And as no in
telligent being can be contented
with any happiness, that is finite
in duration, we must conclude it

will be eternal, and that, conse
quently, the soul is immortal. Life
that is not to be crowned with
immortality, the condigion of man
“If a life of happiness,” says Cicero,
“is to end, it can not be called a
happy life. Take away eternity,
and Jupiter is not better off than
Epicurus.” Without the hope of
immortality, the condtion of man
is less desirable than that of the
beast of the field.
Many may imprison and starve,
may wound and kill the body; but
the soul is beyond his reach, u\d.
is as impalpable to his touch as the
sun's ray. The temple of the body
may be reducgd to ashes, but the
spirit that animated the temple
can not be extinguished. The body,
which is from man, man may .take
away; but.the soul, which is from
God, no man can destroy. “The
dust shall return into igs earth from
whence it was, and the spirit to
God who gave it.”
As well might one born blind at
tempt to picture to himself the
beauty of the landscape, as for the
eve of the soul to contemplate the
supernal bliss that awaits the
righteous in what is beautifully
called “the land of the living.”
