YELLOW PERIL PRESSING

New York. May 30.-The Federal
Council of the Chuches of Christ in
America, representing many Protest
ant denominations. have called on the
United States to adopt an adequate
Oriental policy
The council declares in its state
ment that our attitude to Japan and
the Oriental nations will determine
whether we have trouble with them
and suggests that the nation consider
carefully the treatment 1t accords to
all aliens.
Some months ago the council sent
an embassy consisting of prominent
clergymen to Japan. They were well
received there and assured of Japan's
desire for Americas friendship. The
embassy recommends:
Suspicions Unjustihed.
That peace workers and members
of peace societies be urged to regard
the establishment in America of tn.
right treatment of Asiatics and right
legislation dealing with them as an
Immediately practical question before
US for the establishment of permanent
world peace.
That organized groups of men and
women be urged to turn their atten-
tion to the gravity of ignorance and
misunderstanding with regard TO
Japan and consequent unjustified sus-
picions Not few of the articles
in our current magazines and daily
papers are poisoned by this ignorance
and suspicion.
Asia to Play New Role.
The awakening of Asia and her
rapid acquisition of important ele-
ments of Occidental civilization in
augurates a new era in world history
in which Asia is to play new and
increasingly important role. Whether
that role shall be one of peace. good
will and mutual cooperation or one
controlled by increasing suspicion and
fear between the East and the West
will depend largely upon the attitude
of the Western nations themselves"
The statement concludes:
We must see to IL that our treaties
with China and Japan are not turned
into scraps of paper We must re-
scind bad and enact good laws deal
ing with all adiens. The going to

gether with it's message over there.
has raised a certain expectancy in

is AGAINST AMENDMENT

An explanation of his view of the
position of the United States in the
European war situation was given by
Representative Lloyd. Of Missouri. last
night in an address at Vermont Avenue
Christian Church Mr.. Lloyd said:
Fifty years after the civil war our
country is occupying the position OF
peacemaker In the midst of the greatest
war in history. Our friendly offices OF
assistance have been extended. The peo-
pie of the world are looking 20 the
United States as tire one friend Of all
Che nations, weak and strong. ready TO
help secure peace among men.
Carries Out Scripture.
1T is the one powerful representative
of the Prince OF Peace which carries
aloft the Stars and Stripes and asks that
the warning nations shall lay down their
weapons How long this position can be
maintained no man can tell. Before an
other week the war clouds may envelop
us.
To-day our government is the national
neighbor carrying out the command of
the Master Love thy neighbor as thy
self and is literally bearing the red
cross Of salvation to the starving and
distressed of earth. But if there should
come a time when our food and sup
plies will be not received for those who
are d, 'ag because they cannot get them,
or should the integrity of our nation be
assailee or our rights as a neutral upon
the high seas be wantonly disregarded.
then the government will carry out that
other injunction OF Jesus about our duty
to the state and will render unto Caesar
the thinrs that are Caesars. and as
one man We will rally to the call OF
arms and through blood will maintain
the honor and dignity of the American
union
Would Fight for Peace.
.'As nation today our position Is one
of insistence that peace shall reign upon
the earth and that good will shall be
found among men. but IL to secure that
end war is necessary. then there must be
war, and when another Decoration Day
shall come We will include in our me-
mortal the dead who have given their
lives for their country and to maintain
the integrity of the land of the free and
the home Of the brave.
God speed the day when armaments
shall be abandoned. when forts shall be
dismantled. when the flags of the world
shall be the white flags of peace. when
the fife and drum shall only be used as
the reminder OF the valor and sacrifice
Of other days and the King shall reign
over all nations as triumphant mon
arch carrying aloft the banner of saliva
ton and drawing all men to Him in one
brotherhood. waGing war. not with sword
and bayonct, but through the spirit Of
love against all the places of evil, so
that righteousness. temperance and pur-
ity may have universal sway"

INTERESTING LECTURE
ON DISMAL INDIA.

The Young Peoples Society, of Pal
isade, were treated to fine lecture on
last Sunday evening, Jan. 81, the sub
ject being India. Geore H. Frew read
the text, which was accompanied by
some seventy stereoptican photo
graphs thrown on the rear wall of
the little church. The story of
missionary work in India as carried
on by the Presbyterian Church of this
country is most interesting, and the
pictures proved that money contri-
buted for such a cause is well invested
Many of the pictures showed the
wonderful architecture of India, as
we'll as much of the marvellous
scenery. Others still portrayed the
frightful suffering, ignorance and
superstition that prevails. One
picture showed a group of girls,
all good looking, and happy little
ones, each carrying in her arms a
little doll that had been sent by some
American child. Taken as whole
this particular lecture was one of the
most interesting as we'll as valuable
ever presented by the society.

VERY YOUNG VISITORS
TO SEE THE EDITOR.

The Editor had two interesting
callers last Sunday morning. Miss
Bette St. John, two years and
two months, and Master "Billie"
Messenger, two years and two
months. They frolicked all over the
house, played ball and dolls, laughed,
talked, made the home-folk very
happy, and had good time generally,
besides making "Snow," the collie
doggie, go through some of his own
laughing stunts, and he is some smil-
ing dog. When a child can make a
dog laugh, it must be funny These
two are of exceptional cuteness and
brightness. The sun which was hid
den under dark gray clouds before
they came, lifted its head out, and
the sunshine filled everything the
rest of the day. 1t was all on account
of "Billy" and "Bettie."
