Rev. DR.. Montgomery Declares
Against Divided Sovereignty

SAYS PATRIOTS RESOLVE

Declares Red. White and Blue Laws
Paramount, in Address at Gov

That we are thankful for an Ameri-
canism that permeates every corner of
this country and declares this republic
does not propose to remain unprotected
or surrender one solitary right of an
American citizen anywhere on the face
of the earth was the statement OF Rev.
DIR. James Shera Montgomery pastor
of the Metropolitan Memorial NJ. E.
Church, at Thanksgiving exercises at
the government printing office today.
Our citizens do not propose to sub

power" he said. I'VE defy any ven

citizens, sailing on the remOtest seas.

have it made apparent to the world
that we want peace with all nations
and that military conquest is undream-
ed Of but that we know our rights ana
are bound to defend them with the

United States as Refuge.
The speaker declared fair Columbia
has truly been the refuge Of the peoples
of the great earth. They have been hurry-
ing to our shores for centuries to share
our comfort. happiness and wealth. How
disappointing it Is to say that because
of this fact new and perplexing questions
have arisen. He who would snihte the
breast that gives him succor is a traitor
and a brute. Our nations generosity has
exposed US to dangers that now threaten.
These sons and daughters of the old world
must be made to understand. and that. too,
with permanent emphasis. that the great
est laws of our land are the red, white
and blue laws; that our country is the
country of one flag. and that no other
flagstaff shall have footing in our soil :
and too, one oath of allegiance to this
republic which holds under any emergency
which may arise at home or abroad :;
that we recognize one. and only one, head
of government, and that one is the Presi-
dent of the United States Of America.

sovereign within the bounds of this coun-
try is not to be tolerated ; that this is the

BECOMES ENGINEER
Of UTILITIES BOARD
J. Kappeyne Succeeds H. C.
Eddy, Who Is Assigned to
Another Position.

The public utilities commission today
announced the promotion of J. kap-
peyne of the valuat ton bureau to be
engineer of the commission. succeeding
H. c. Eddy, who has held this position
since March H. 1913.
Mr.. Eddy has been asked to under
take an electrolysis survey of the Dis
trict in conjunction with the work of
the commission.
On account of the fact that the val
uation bureaus work is nearing the
end and it is deemed important to re-
tain on the permanent staff OF the COM
mission a man familiar with the details
of the various valuations, the commits
sion selected Mr.. Kappeyne for the post
of engineer.
Statement in Explanation.
A statement explaining this change
and expressing regret that its limited
funds would not permit the employment
of a valuation expert in addition to an
engineer was issued by the utilities
board.
Mr.. Eddy stated this afternoon that
he was uncertain as to whether he
would accept the offer to make an cleo
trolysis survey, as he has other busl-
ness offers under consideration.
Prior to. accepting the position of
engineer AIr. Eddy served as executive
officer of the old District Electric Rail-
way board, a branch of the interstate
commerce commission. whose jurisdic-
tion was absorbed by the utilities COM
mission. He had held this position
about five years. Formerly he was
the superintendent of the electrical de-
partment of the District.
Regarded as Expert Railway Man.
Mr.. Eddy has given most of his time
as an officer of the commission to street
railway matters. He is regarded as an
expert in this line, and hts ability is
highly regarded by the commission.
His successor is considered an expert
in valuation work. He came to Washing
ton from New York city and accepted a
position with the valuation bureau October
I, 1914. In New York he did important
work for the public service commission
in esta tablishing valuations on the street
railways. He is thirty-three years old
and is graduate of the Polytechnic
School of Zurich. Switzerland.
