CHURCHMEN Or
ENGLAND REPLY
TO MANIFESTO
Statement by German Theo-
Ioglans, Addressed to
Evangelical Christians
Abroad" Is Criticized,


London. Sept. 20 (s p. m.)-In re-
ply TO the appeal addressed by Ger
man theologians to Evangelical
Christians Abroad a manifesto was
issued here today. signed by the heads
OF the Established Church Of Eng
land and by non-conformist leaders.
justifying England's action in connec-
ton with the European war.
The manifesto refers to the authors
OF the German document as men as to
whose honesty, capacity and good
faith there can be no question: but
expressed amazement that such men
should commit themselves to a state
ment concerning the political causes
which departs so strangely from what
seems to us to be the plain facts in
this grave hour Of European history.
II is upon these facts we rest our as
sured convictions that for men who
desire 10 maintain the paramount OBJ
llgation of fidelity to the pliehted
word and their duty in defending
weaker nations against violence and
wrong, no possible course was open
but that which our country had
taken"
After expressing the hope that the
time will come when Il again will be
their privilege TO work with the Ger
man theologians in behalf of Chris
tianity, the signers OF today's mani
festo. add:
"rhere must be no mistake about
our position. Eagerly t'esirous Of
peace, foremost. to the best of our
ability In furthering II, keenly appre-
cative to promote a close fellowship
between England and Germany, we
nevertheless have been driven to de-
clare that, dear to us as peace Is, the
principles of truth and honor are yet
more dear. We have taken our stand
for international good faith, for the
safeguarding of smaller nationalities
for the upholding Of the essential
conditions of brotherhood among the
nations Of the world"
Among the signers are the archblsh.
ops of Canterbury, York and Armagh
