Craze, They Say.
COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 19-Thc Peace As
sociation of Friends, of which A. G. Hub
bard, of Columbus, is president, and
Daniel Hill, of Richmond, Ind, secretary,
has issued = circular to all ministers of
the United s,ates asking them to preach
on international arbitration on Peace
Sunday" Dec. Is. The circular says:
"Now while these steps show decided ad-
vancement in Christian civilization, on
the other hand there are greater prcpara-
tons for war among the nations than ever
known before. There is the Venezuela
difficulty in South America that may yet
lead to war between the United States
and England; there is the Nicaragua ques-
ton; the Armenian question and the
Hawaiian question, all of which are good
questions about which to get up war.
Too Much Military Drilling.
"There is great effort being male By
military spirits of the United States to
militarize this country, aping after the
old war-riddcn nations of Europe. Mill
tary drill has been introduced into eighty
six colleges and a large number of high
schools. The legislature of New York
passed a bill introducing il into the schools
of the state and requiring every boy over
l. years to take the drill. Governors of
other states have met together in New
York city TO discuss plans ior introducing
military drills into the schools.
In Possession of n War Craze.
"a kind of military craze has taken
possession of some of our Americans, and
they are are trying to make a military
camp Of the United States, as all Europe
is today. With these things in view, it is
eminently fitting that all ministers of the
Prince of Peace should preach u sermon
on arbitration on Peace Sunday"
