GERMAN PASTORS

Appeal to Christians of Other
Nations Surprises Church.
men Here.

The statement issued by the Profess
tant ministers of Germany, defending
Germany's resort to arms, which has
just reached the Federal Council of
Churches here, with a request that it
be distributed, has occssioned surprise
in religious and peace circles, because
Of its warlike tone and its vigorous
donuneiation of Germanys opponents.
The appeal is entitled "To the Evan
gelical Christians Abroad" and is
signed by twenty-nine of the Kaiser's
leading clergymen and churchmen.
Among these are Professors Eucken,
Harnack, Dryander, de Neufville, lie
Seur and Spiecker.
"a systematic network of lies, con-
trolling the international telegraph

KEMPEL'S GOLDEN
NOTES" AID KAISER
Diva, in Berlin, Sings at
Benefits and PrayS for
German Arms.

Miss Annie Friedberg, manager Of
Freida Hempel, of the Metropolitan
Opera, has received the following let.
ter from the singer, who is now in
Berlin:
FINALLY l found some one who Is
kind enough to take this letter along
TO America. Well, | am safe and well
taken care Of, and | am happy about
our great victories.
Germany is one big family. II Is
marvellous how everything is going on
smoothly here in Berlin. Whoever is
not permitted TO 60 to war is working
in his way fol- the common good. You
never would believe how we all are
feeling. Everybody is enthusiastic,
All of our Socialists have disappeared.
They all are to-day friends Of the
Kaiser. What a good fortune to live
in time as this! The God Of our
fathers is still alive among us or our
great victories would be impossible.
"HOu see flags everywhere. | per-
sonally have two at my window, Ger
man and an Austrian. Whenever q
victory is announced the bells are ring
ing. Really, it is q glorious time. And
our soldiers-hOw they are happy TO
go to the front! Some of my work
cannot halt them. And how handsome
the boys are looking, lovely in their
new uniforms of gray! 1t is touching
to see them depart to the front, so
young, so brave and so full of good
humor! If the whole affair were not
so sad, you really could laugh. Seven
cnemieS-seven against two!
Our German women are great.
They do not cry, they do not complain;
they all know it's got to be, and they
submit. They all do their duty like
our men. There is no misery, no hum
ger, no poverty. There Is money
enough all around.
IL contributed all my Belgian dec
orations and medals to the Red Gross

bring cigars to our soldiers. was
fortunate to be able to help some
widows and orphans. give all my
spare time to the Opera, and | am now
singing at every benefit performance
arranged for the victims of the war.
Am / not right to give as much of the
gold in my throat as you used TO say,
to this splendid cause? And, dear
friend, millions do and think as /.
Don't believe for minute that we
are gloomy and oppressed. We did
not look for war here in Germany.
But now when the war is forced upon
us we do all to bring it TO a glorious
end. May God help us further!"
