RockefeIIer's Pastor Calls Upon
Germany to Reform Her
Ways of Warfare.

NEW YORK. May 17.--John D. Rookie
feller's pastor, the Rev. Cornelius
Woelfkin, preached a sermon yesterday
morning In the Fifth Avenue Baptist
Church In which he called upon Ger
many to turn from her present ways OF
warfare. The Emperor, he asserted, is
leading a nation which has become "a
ruthless buccaneer."
DR.. Woelfkin's congregation was
stirred deeply when he ended his ad-
dress in these words:

at the court of humanity and his
tory and the throne Of a holy God,
in whose ears come the cry of mur-
dered innocents."
DR.. Woelfkin took as his text Deuter-
onomy xiii. 8: when thou goest forth
In camp against thine enemies then thou
shalt keep thee from every evil thing.
"A war Of aggression Is unlawful. A
war of honest defense or in Intervention
Of the helpless may find justification.
In every war the motives are very min
gled, but among them there is a rela-
tive right and wrong which we must
recognize" he said.
Recent events have transformed us
from spectators to interested factors.

imperial government of Germany. Ger

timent as against her. she has not only

But what are Germany's s ambitions with
this machine In modern days? We are
not left to guess. They are plainly ad-
vertised by her military modernists."
