Daisy Barr Speaks on Peace.
Mrs. Daisy Barr had been selected
by the committee to make the main
address Of the afternoon and her sub
]ect was The Prince of Peace VS.. The
Prince of War" Mrs. Barr is un
doubtedly one of the most eloouent
women preachers in the country and
Tor one half hour she held the large
audience under the spell of her mar.
Vicious oratory. She first disclosed an
array OF statistics to prove the enor-
nous cost of maintaining a standing
army and an up-to-date navy. She
reviewed the enormous appropria-
tons that have been made by con-
gress for the maintenance of pomn
and display. According to Mrs. Barr
the United States is today spending
one half million dollars per day as in
terest on her war debt From strict
ly commercial standpoint was is a
most expensive luxury. Mrs. Barr
then showed the economic waste that
comes from war equipment and made
the startling disclosure that the Unit.
cd States is today spending 81 per
cent or its income for military pur-
poses. The third point in the address
was made to show the wickedness of
war Mrs. Barr says that there is
nothing in connection with our nation
ai institutions that demoralizes men
as quickly as does the army. To sub
stantiate this assertion she gave MANY
personal observations as seen ar n
harrison at Indianapolis and other
places in her travels. It. is the belief
OF Mrs. Barr that war runs in direct
divergence to Christian principles and
tnat We can not be a Christian nation
IN the full meaning of the term until
the military spirit is eradicated. Mrs
Barr In most touching way declared
that she would rather see her LITTLE
boy in his casket laid awav than to
nave MN grow up to be a soldier.
The solution of the question in the
estimatlon of Mrs. Barr depends ON
the individual. All war and strife
must first be dispelled from the indi.
vldual hearts of the Quakers before
lney can nope to be strong advocated
Tor national and international peace
Following this address Allen Law

Cyrus w. Harvey, a visiting dele
gate from Kansas was asked to tell
why ne was in the war and he occas-
loned some merriment when he stated

more patriotism than religion then.
