HILLS WAR TALK
STIRS WORSHIPPERS
Opinion Divided Over
Sermon on Situation
in Europe.

Or. Newell Dwight Hills. OF Plymouth
Church. Brooklyn, last night preached
sermon on Germany that aroused his
hearers TO such a pitch that no two OF
them were able to agree afterward as
to exactly what had occurred. The only
thing definitely established IS that the
scenes following DR.. Hillis's address
are the first Of their kind 20 occur
within the classic edltce since Henry
Ward Beecher preached there.
4 parishioner who has attended the
church for eighteen years stated that
Dr.. Hills denounced Germany and the
Kaiser, and that his remarks were
greeted with cheers, groans and Kisses.
One woman tainted, he said, and had
20 be carried out.
Others denied that there was dis
order. but agreed that there were
bursts Of applause during the sermon.
Late I'm the evening Dr. ii.lls, learning
that conflicting reports were DO clrcula-
tion. issued n statement m which ne
embodied "a condemnation Of hr sermon.
He made no mention of the manner IN
which his remarks were received.
Dr. Hills stated that he did not at

and no longer counted among nations.
He said, also. that the Balkan States
were rot worth the bones Of a Pomera-

The Kaiser, without Imagination, did
not see that an attack on England
would drive Ireland back 20 England.
He did not see that an alliance with
Turkey would cost him the friendship

The Crime of
the Century

Signs are not wanting of the dis
indignation of the Free-Trade party
in Louisiana. The State has been
dreadfully treated by the free Trade
administration and Congress. Its
greatest industry. representing one,
half the capital invested ard the
labor employed In the entire State
Is heartlessly ruined by Free-Trade
legislation. For this ruin President
Wilson is chiefly responsible. 1t was
he who decreed. against the advice
and remonstrsnce OF his own party
leaders, wiser and better informed
than himself, that all protection
should be taken from cane growing In
Louisiana, beginning with May, 1916.
Slavishly, blindly, foolishly, Ms events
seem certain to prove, these party
leaders bowed to the Executive will
and by voting Free Trade IN sdcar
into the Underwood law laid a foun-
dalton for revolt in Louisiana and
for retaliation at polls by suga; sect
growers OF Northern States. 1t is
an Astonishing record of economi:
folly and political laundering.
The first tangible evidence Of dis.
affection in Louisiana comes IN the
-nlpe of the following dispatch N
the New York Sun;
"ThibodauX, La, July When
the Third Congress District Demo.
cratic central committee met today,
majority OF the members nreson, or
represented by proxy resigned to
join the Progressive party.
The committee met to set the date
for primary elections. The Third
District committee consists Of IA
members. Four Of these We're not
represented, but they are said to
have leanlngs toward Roosevelt,
THE Third District was one Of the
sections Of Louisiana hit hardest by
the removal of duty on sugar"
1t remains to be seen how many
Of the other Congress districts OF
Louisiana win take similar action,

In our opinion, Germany has the
most powerful lighting army in the
world That does not mean that Ger
many could defeat the United States,
II the two countries were involved
in war, because the possibilities, CIV.
en- in a military way, of this country
are inestimable. Given a tremendous

all military men thought 1t was nee
essary to attack all opposing fortified
positions. General Sherman, in his
march to the sea, gave to military
strategy new maneuvers when he
marched around some of the fortified
distractions and left the enemy iso-
lated.
But, Germany could defeat France,
as 1t did In the Franco-Prussian war,
and, II is Just possible, the Germans
could hold back the combined French
and British land forces. or late
years the British army has not been
the powerful war machine that II
was twenty years ago, although Great
Britain is resourceful and, by calling
on its colonies might surprise the
rest OF Europe.
France, within the past Ave years,
has made great strides. It's army is
today better equipped, drilled and
organized than at any time since Won
Moltke crushed the proud spirit Of
the French soldier and Bismarck
levied tribute on the wealth OF the
nation. But France has been almost
stationary, while Germany has dou-
bled in population and were each
equally prepared for war, Germany's
superior numbers would prove over
whelming.
Italy is neither strong in its mill
tarys organization nor in finances, but
would prove an important factor on
the side of the triple alliance, and
help make the struggle one of great
uncertainty.
But on sea, Great Britain and
France could gain a complete mas.
terry. Their navies could blockade
German ports and destroy the for
eign commerce of that country, that
might prove n disastrous blow 10 the
cause of the triple alliance.
