PEOPLE APATHETIC TO
DANGER FROM FLOODS
Army Engineers Report Efforts to En-
list Aid of County and Municipal
Officials Is Vain.

The apathy of the people Of the United
States toward an annual and unnecessary
calamity is emphasized in the report of
the Secretary of War, to be given out
this week, on work and precautions need
ed to prevent floods.
Commenting on this fact, the National
Drainage Congress has issued a state
ment contending that both the govern
ment and the public must take hold of
the problem in a way that will insure
immediate efficiency.
To illustrate the necessity of prompt
action to dispel the popular apathy to-
ward flood prevention, the Drainage Con-
gress points to this paragraph from the
report of the army engineers who con-
Quoted the investigation:
at was hoped that a great deal of
valuable information could be derived
from county and city surveyors and on
Gals OF like kind. Accordingly, 36S let
tiers were sent to sach persons. Up to
date fifty-four replies have been received,
and the quality of the information con-
tanned indicates that the board can eX-
pect little of value from this source"
The report Of the engineers says:
THE interests of navigation and Of in
terstate commerce demand that the Fed
eral government seek a remedy and join
with the local interests in applying it,
The Federal government should under
take to prepare general plans of flood
prevention and protection, to pass upon
and coordinate plans prepared by the
various communities. to arrange for a
fair and proper distribution Of the cost
of execution of such plans, and the por-
ton OF the work to be accomplished by
each OF the interested parties"

ATTACKS MORALS OF JESUS.
David EccIes Takes Negative in De-
hate on Christinnity.

At a meeting of the Washington Secu-
lar League at Pythian Temple yesterday
afternoon an animated debate took place
over the proposition, Resolved, That the
life and teachings Of Jesus have eXer-
cised a beneficial influence on human
character and civilization" The affirma
tive was supported by William d. Mac
kenzie and the negative by David Eccles,
whose address in criticism of the morality
OF the teachings of Jesus before the
league a short time ago was the origin of
the debate.
Mr. Mackenzie held that the ethics
taught by Jesus were superior to those of
the ancient Greeks in emphasizing the
social virtues-love, pity. mercy. peace.
prosecutions of the Middle Ages. he
claimed. were not the natural result of
the example and teachings OF the Naza-
rene, but rather the legitimate fruit of
system of creedalism and ecclesias-
ticism utterly alien to the spirit of Jesus
Mr.. Eccles attacked the morality and
ethical soundness of many of the teach
ings attributed to Jesus in the Gospel
writings and held that to His theology
is directly traceable the baneful inf1u-
ence which organized. historical Chris
tianity so largely eXerted over a long
period of civilization.
Morality will never come into its own"
declared the speaker. until the theology
of Christ is expelled from the life and
thoughts of man" He said that Jesus
had no proper conception of the real ma
ture and basis of morality. but substi-
tuted for it what He was pleased to re-
gard as the will OF Cod
The merits of the argument were left
TO the Judgment of the audience. 1t was

FOUND NATIONS ON BIBLL.
SO Urges Judge Norris in Talk 10
Men at Epiphany Church

What shall he the book on which the
foundation OF all nations can be laid -
asked Judge William F. Norris. Of the
Department Of Justice. in his Sunday
morning talk TO men at Epiphany Church
yesterday. His subject was The Book
of the Nations, or Four Great World
Religions"
We cannot base our world on the
maXims of COnfucius CT the pTeCepts OF
Buddha. because these works OF two
great teachers advance a theory of re-
ligion which is no more than absolute
stagnation. Mahomet and Jesus Christ
have been the teachers Of aggressive re-
IiEiOns. But the aEgressiveness of Mo-
hammedanism has been. under the law
OF the Koran. the welding Of the sword
and in physical conquest. And that
leaves US Christianity. the religion OF
aggressive love. light. and liberty. This
religion meets the final test Of being
capable Of uniting all humankind Let
US found our nations on the Bible. which
teaches the doctrines OF love and a help
ing hand TO the weak

DEMOCRACY" PASTORS TOPIC.
Rev. DIR. J. 8. Montgomery waras
Against Voice Of Rabbie.

The voice of the people is not always
the voice of God, Rev. DR.. James Shera
Montgomery, pastor of Metropolitan
Memorial NJ. F. Church. said in a sermon
last night. He claimed that many a
time the unholy discord of the rabble has
put the cause OF good government upon
the chessboard of fate. and II has been
like a poisoned river running through
fertile SOIL" Rev. DIR. Montgomery said:
What a word is democracy" 1t
means not that I am as good as you
are, but you are as good as / am. The
first is cold, self-centered. egotistic in
dividualism: the second is the spirit of
community, of Wilderness and of health.
Democracy is a most fascinating word.
While We accept democracy. vet let us
remember that il is not infallible. The
of the verdict of yonder
Jury depends upon the moral fiber of
each Juror. Through ignorance and self
enamored discomfort there are more re-
publics buried tonight in the sands of the
Tiber than there are monarchies. From
the misguided rawlings of a headless and
soulless multitude heaven deliver us,'
