WAR IN EUROPE TOPIC
IN LOCAL CHURCHES
Conflict Deplored by Many Pastors
and Prayers for Peace
Offered.

The war in Europe was decried in a
number of the churches of Washington
yesterday, and in nearly all prayers for
speedy peace were offered.
That Europe has forgotten Cod was
asserted by Rev. DR.. Herbert Booth
Smith of Knoxville. Tenn, at the New
York Avenue Presbyterian Church. The
one outstanding lesson of this awful
European war to me- he said, is this:
That civilization apart from Christianity
will never stand. There is no saving
power in civilization itself, for the first
civilization of the world was founded
by men who had gone out of the pres
ence Of the Lord. And there is nothing
in our skyscrapers and submarines and
subways and wireless telegraphs md
aeroplanes that will keep men in the hour
of storm and stress.
Europe an Example.
For proof of this. look at Europe to-
day. Who would have thought that the
Europe of the twentieth century, with all
it's ententes and dreibunds and The
Hague tribunals and peace palaces-that
this Europe would split itself up into a
lot of war dogs rushing at each other S
threats, while the very stones in the
Peace Palace laugh in derision at what
fools these mortals be-.
Deploring the war as barbarous and
saying it Is a blow to civilization. Rev.
James Smith at st. Patrick's Church yes
terday, admonished his auditors to pray
for a speedy end of hostilities. He said
the Catholic Church of Europe is pass
ing through the greatest crisis it has
ever experienced.
q. S. as 'Big Brother"
Rev. John McMurray, pastor of the
Union Methodist Episcopal Church, urged
that the United States act as a big
brother in the family of nations and
that when the time comes this country
should use it's good offices to bring about
peace. He said that the refusal of the
great nations to grant concessions led
to what he termed an unnecessary con-
test of strength.

Letter in Answer to Inquiries.
Accompanying Mr.. Williams statement
was a letter addressed to national banks
which are not members of national cur
rency associations organized under the
terms of the Aldrich-Vreeland act as
amended. inclosing a list of thirty-one
national currency associations already or
ganized in the twelve federal reserve
districts. and twelve additional associa-
| lions either being organized or which
have indicated to the department in
tention to do So
The letter to the banks was prompted
by number of applications from ma
tional banks in different sections of the
| country for permission to issue addition
al currency. and it states that the Sec
rotary of the Treasury has generally dis
approved these direct applications. pre-
ferring that all banks desiring additional
currency should make their applications
through a national currency association. -

Business Expands.

LAS a result of the campaign by this
Office he states. there has been a
marked increase in the receipt of farm
products OF approximately 10 per cent.
A count made during three days, June
Is, 19 and 20.' he states, "indicate les an
average receipt of 225 packages of
farm products daily and an average
dispatch of 16S perishable articles
During the period from July 10 to Au-
gust i there were received 50, TO
parcel post packages OF all descrip-
Of 1 per cent were damaged Twelve
Of these, he says, were properly packed
and seventysix improperly packed.
Deliveries are made twice daily in the
residential sections, at am. and at
, pm, and three times daily in the
business section, at am, noon and
. pm. In addition, parcels containing
perishable matter are delivered by
mounted carriers in the afternoon and
evening until pm. and on Sundays
at 3 pm.
Up to August 4. all told. he adds, 445
farmers had formally asked to have
their names put upon the list of pro-
ducerS circulated among the Washing
ton public, and these offer eggs, but
ter. poultry, vegetables, fruit and mis-
cellaneous produce, such as nuts, jcl-
lies. hams. meats pickles, lard, home
made cakes, oysters CLANS and the
like.
George NJ. Bow erman, librarian of the
Public Library, Mr.. Praeger says, has
taken an active interest in the new
service, and copies of all letters from
farmers quoting prices were sent to
him after he had expressed his will
ingness TO post them on the bulletin
| board in the library. The House
keepers Alliance, an organization of
women interested in reducing the cost
of living, he says, has co-operated
actively in urging housewives to avail
themselves of the opportunity to oh
tain fresh produce direct from the
farms.
The statement then goes into detail
showing the experiences in each of the
cities named for the experiment

Defense of Arbitration.

Persons not well acquainted with the
principles of the peace advocates" said
Chaplain Brown, in defending arbitration
are apt to accuse them of desiring
peace at any price but have You ever
heard this theory advanced by them
myself can well imagine causes which
might render war between nations quite
necessary. But it is certainly not a thing
to be resorted to at once
The great nations of the earth are not
those constantly involved in strife. Those
who advocate war declare it is a nat
urar thing: one that cannot be done
away with without a nation losing its
virility. According to that reasoning the
tribes Of South Africa, the Philippines,
Santo Domingo and Haiti are the great
nations. for they war constantly.
LAS for patriotism diminishing if war
ceases said Chaplain Brown. 1T can
not any more die than religious belief
both are inherent and immortal"

PARCEL POST MARKET
SHOWS RAPID GROWTH
Ten Cities Report Success Of the d.
rect-Buying- by- Mail-From-
Producer Plan.
Fresh Goods, Lower Prices and
Prompt Deliveries Are Shown by
Postmaster Praeger's Advices.

Mark citing by mail and the use OF the
parcel post service for the direct ship
ment of merchandise from producer to
consumer has come to stay: its present
utility is shown, and improvements
being made and numerous inventions
of new containers being put upon the
market guarantee its rapid growth.
The foregoing is claimed in an Official
statement issued from the Post Office
Department showing the experiences in
ten different cities specially designated
| for experiments by the postmaster
General last March.
Washington, d. c.; St. Louis, Boston,
Baltimore. San Francisco, Atlanta Ga F.:
Birmingham, Ala; Lynn. Mass; Rock
Island, ILL.,. and La Crosse. Wis, have
made their reports to the department,
and their general trend is declared IA
vorable. Some reports indicate fall
ing off in the shipment of butter and
similar products that are made more
perishable than usual by the effect of
the hot weather; but to offset this, 1T
is stated, containers patterned after the
thermos- bottle plan of refrigeration
are now being perfected and offered for
sale, and in large post offices ice boxes
have been provided in which to store
perishable matter that has to be held
overnight.
A count recently completed by the
railway mail service, it is declared,
brought out the fact that the average
damage to shipments in transit is less
than one-tenth of l per cent, and that
in a majority of these cases the dam
Nipped in Bud.
1t is also stated that some farmers find
unwisely advanced their prices to match
those of the commission houses and
stores in the cities, and in every instance
their trade has been nipped in the bud.
The statement declares that the Office
of markets of the Department of Agri-
culture and the Post Office Department
are working actively in cooperation and
successfully to eliminate evils. and the
success has varied in direct ratio to the
vigor expended in the campaign to edu-
cate the public in the use of the parcel
post service.
In many localities. it is stated. the
farm to-table system of exchange has
already become a potent factor in reduc-
ing the cost of living. and in nearly all
cases, the postmasters say. direct service
by parcel post provides the city family
with better grade of farm produce
Emphasis is laid in the statement upon
the fact that the service is not limited
to the ten cities mentioned, but that they
were selected for experiment in pushing
and advertising this method of exchange.
Without exploitation, the statement de-
clares, without publication of lists of
farmers anxious to sell and of consum-
ers anxious to buy, direct exchange, new
ertheless, has developed into an impor-
tant factor in the business of many post
offices and localities"
Postmaster Praeser of this city, accord
ing to the statement. says by far the
most importat cause of damage to this
class of parcel mail is improper packing.

1t is said, and this is having very
