Sentiments Favoring Greater
Friendship and Closer Relations
Between the United States
and British Subjects Heartily
Cheered.
DETROIT, July S-A decidedly An
glo-Saxon spirit was impaired to the
speeches at the Christian Endeavor
"peace Jubilee held on Belle Isle this
afternoon. All the speakers were rep
resentatives of English-speaking coun-
tries, American and British, and all
sentiment favoring greater friendship
and closer relations between the Unit
ed States and British subjects We're
heartily cheered.
After singing patriotic songs and
"God Save the Queen" the following
memorial was read with the announce
ment that it's sentiments had already
been Endorsed by Hon. Andrew u.
White, President of the United States
Commission to the Peace Conference:
s"To the Senate and House of Rep
resentatives of the United states OF
America: We, whose names are hxeo
hereto are members and friends OF the
Societies of Christian Endeavor, num-
bering over 10000 organizations with
more than 100000 members. and i'll
foreign lands over IA, 900 organizations
with nearly 1000 members. It is the
sense of our world wide fellowship that
impels this memorial. Canada, Great
Britain and Australia contain hundreds
of thousands whom we have come to
honor and love as brethren. Among the
Hindoos and Persians, the Chinese and
Japanese. the natives of Africa and
Madagascar, the republics of South
America, are large numbers who are
thus closely knit to us. Our comrades
in Christian Endeavors are found in
France, Italy, Germany, Russia. Swift
zerland, Turkey, Greece, Norway
Sweden, Holland Denmark, Austria
and Belgium. In Spain itself, our foe
in the late war, is rapidly increasing
number of them, and Christian En-
deavorers were found In each of the
opposing armies.
ssIn view of these facts, we wish to
express our adherence Of war, and our
solemn conviction that it is the duty OF
every civilized nation to do all in its
power toward making war Impossible.
We wish to record our desire for the
speedy establishment of an interna-
tional conference to discuss this matter
proposed by the Car of Russia, and
to urge our country to act promptly
upon the proposals of that conference.
And especially we desire by our sig
natures to appeal for the immediate
consideration of the question of arbi-
tration between this nation and Great
Britain that the Anglo-Saxon race may
become united in the interests OF peace
and good will.
'1n pressing this memorial we are
emboldened by the assurance OF a cor
dial reception on the part of large
numbers of our Legislatures, and we
are confident that the Congress of the
United States of America will in the
future, as in the past, prove true to
the largest sentiments of humanity.
May the Divine blessings attend your
deliberations"
