Members OF the congregation, headed by

today and saved the Wiley NJ. f. Church
In Camden from destruction by flames.

son, the pastor, to the police indicates
the blaze was Of incendiary origin.

Johnson said that shortly after daybreak
he was aroused by passerby. who
shouted that smoke was Issuing from the
steps Of the building.

should do such a thing" said the pastor,

WASHINGTON. Sept. 26.--The follow

September 2, was received here today in
a private letter;
From captured French and British
soldiers we have taken thousands Of cart
ridges with hollow points. The cartridges
were still partly In the wrapping sup
piled by the factory. From the number
and the manufacture It Is plainly seen
that these cartridges are factory made.
In fort near Longwy a machine for
making them was found. Thus the cart
ridges were supplied in this form by the
army authorities. The wounds of our
soldiers show the destructive effect Of
these dum-dum cartridges. Whilst Eng
land and France are thus violating the
convention of Geneva Germany Is scrup-
ulously observing the requirements Of in
ternatonal law, no dum-dum cartridges
being found In the German army"

DOYOUR MAILING EARLY

Mail your Christmas parcels
early!
That is the earnest plea of every
postoffice employee in the city. Do
your postal shopping now. Each
year finds the postal system stag
gered, despite extensive prepare
tions against congestion. Every
holiday season finds the deluge of
parcels overwhelming. Little thought
is given to the hardships forced up
on postal clerks and the strain placed
upon the entire system by last
minute mailing.
Despite all his efforts to control
the food of packages, Postmaster
Praeger will have his hands full the
several days Immediately preceding
Christmas Day. And unless people
cooperate with him by mailing their
parcels now his force of clerks will
be ovcrpowered for many days after
Christmas.

senal in time of peace would become
an essential to them and to every
other nation that might ordinarily
expect to draw on our factories.
More than that, the program
would force US into the same course.
Whether or not our theory of moral
responsibility should be accepted of
international law, we could not es-
tablish such a principle with regard
to other nations and not expect to
have others apply it to us.
There is every hope that this war
will bring an end to militarism. Let
us not do anything in a mistaken
view of our moral neutrality obi
cations which, so far as militarism
is concerned, would leave the war
fought without profit.

CORRECT, Mr. Taft

Ex-President Taft, making an ad-
dress last evening, adverted to the
demand for an investigation of ma
tional defenses and preparedness. He
observed that all the facts it could
develop are now in public reports to
Congress.
Correct. AS also is the former
Presidents whimsical addendum:
"lf you want TO conceal any fact,
you could not do it better than to
put it into the official reports to
Congress.
Perfectly correct on both counts.
But all this argues for, not
against, the inquiry. 1t would un-
lock the adamantine bombproofs Of
-boresomeness in which all this i'm
portant, this supremacy important,
information is now concealed.
Nobody reads official reports. Mil
lions would read the proceedings of
the inquiry that is proposed.
And when it was over perhaps
somebody would devise a scheme for
getting Government documents of
various sorts edited so that they
would be read occasionally.
The Government spends millions
annually printing things that are
mostly useless for the want of a few
thousands spent on editors.

A MOSLEM ADVANCE.

The Moslem leader in India, where
the Mohammedan population con-
stitutes an important minority Of
the whole, has taken a step which
suggests that Islam may be on the
verge of great advance in civiliza-
ton and civic ideals. In effect, he
suggests that the time is come for
MOSlem to break away from its
ancient partnership of church and
state, as the Christian world has
generally done.
Turkey is a political government;
but it has assumed also to be the
trustee of the religious faith and
aspirations of the Mohammedan
Church. Thus the partnership of
church and state has been main
tanned throughout the Moslem world.
The vicious results of that partner
ship have been shown repeatedly
when the political rulers of Turkey,
driven to extremes, have threatened
to use their spiritual power to de-
clare a holy war wherever Moslems
might be, whether under the rule of
Turkey or of other nations.
Now comes the leader of Moham-
mechanism in India to protest against
this medieval attitude. He declares
that Turkeys politicians have be-
trayed their trusteeship for the
spiritual interest of their people, in
and out of the empire; that if Tur-
keys present political alliance sue
ceeds, Turkey will become a vassal
of Germany; that therefore it is the
duty of Moslems to remain loyal to
the governments under which they
live, and to throw off the yoke that
attempts to bind them to the politi-
cal purposes of a government that
has no sincere intention to serve
their spiritual welfare, but is using
their religion as a leading string to
drag them into war that is OPP
posed to both their secular and
spiritual interests.
This is a remarkable enlightened
and modern view for a Moslem
leader to avow; and it suggests, in
connection with the very general
loyalty of Mohammedans in the
British dominions, that the world
nears the time when the menace of
a holy war will be a thing of the
past.
