ADDRESSES MEMS CLUB

In an address before the Mems Club Of
the Church Of the Covenant last night.
]. Harry Covington. Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court of the District. declared
that the agnostic, nonreligious thought
of the upper classes Of Germany was re-
sponsible for the many crimes committed
by the soldiers of the German army In
the present conflict in Europe.
Without regard es to how we view
the great conflict said Justice Coving-
ton, lone great bald fact stands out.
that as a result of the agnostic. nom
religious thought Of the upper classes OF
Germany the people of that empire con-
done the crimes of the army"
Justice Covington took as his theme
THE Religion of Today" and discuss
ed it with its relation to everyday life.
We hear a lot in America" he said,
about secularizing religion. but there is
not as much need of this as there Is of
Christianizing the man. The religion of
every day is nothing less than the SIM
pie dogmatic faith of our fathers and
the only one which reaches out every
where.
"Isms" Beyond Average Man.
There has been a worldwide recog-
milton in late years by the mass of men
that there is a yearning for the simple
this We virtually walk into a new
world.
ST. Paurs injunction was that religion
was to be taken to the people of all the
world and 1t can be taken to them in
only one way, with faith as the basis.
so that it can be understood by the SIM
plest mind. The various "isms" are
the products of philosophic minds and
are beyond the understanding of the
ordinary man.
The church clubs, the ST. Andrews
movement and others of the same kind,
where men are banded together to learn
the ordinary precepts of religion, are
doing much to make men lead better
everyday Christian lives and take a bet
ter part In the business of the nation.
We are getting away from the no.
ton that religion Is a matter Of worship
only, that 1t is a matter Of dressing up
and going to church on Sunday, and
are coming more and more to realize
that it Is to do the honest thing, to live
cleanly, and to be of some service to
others, not on one day Of the week but
on all seven.
"All the latter-day movements for the
betterment Of mankind are founded on
the faith of our fathers. The statutes
for the amelioration OF tho working
hours of women, the statutes requiring
the humane. treatment of animals, and
hundreds of others, are founded on the
simple faith as preached by Jesus Christ.
Religion is nothing more than the
brotherhood Of man as embodied In the
tea chings Of Christ"
William S. Culbertson was elected pres
ident Of the club at the annual election
last night. Grant Chase was elected
treasurer and Alfred DooHttle corre-

ON Army PLANS
Presidents Failure to Reveal
Military Program Causes
Much Speculation.
GARRISON'S HANDS TIED
War Secretary Unable to Give Public
Facts Found By Experts Until
Executive Acts. -

With October 10, the date on which
the departmental estimates must be in
the hands Of the Treasury Depart
ment, only three days distant. the sit

istration's program for the army ID
attracting attention.
While within the last ten days there
have been made known certain feat
ures of the administrators plans
with respect TO the navy, II is mys-
terry in Washington as to what the
President will ask of Congress for the
army.
This situation is so contrary to what
was. planned long ago by Secretary
Garrison that 1t is the occasion OF
comment Advocates of immediate
legislation to remedy defects in the
military establishment, are becoming
apprehensfve lest the administration
fail to recommend adequate army
measures to Congress
Upon adjournment Of the last Con-
gress Mr.. Garrison set tho entire Gen.
eral stan to work upon an eAhaus-
tive study for working out an
adequate military policy. This plan
was completed last summer. ny Car
rison prepared elaborate abstracts OF
the entire plan. and also short state
ments explaining each feature OF II IN
detail. The matter prepared consti-
tuted the most complete discussion OF
military policy ever compiled.
It was Mr.. Garrison's intention TO
lay before the American public the
entire scheme, not later than August
or early September. This plan, how
ever, was completely disrupted by the
action of the President in calling on
Mr.. Garrison for a report on what
was needed for the military establish
ment. Mr.. Garrison's response to the
Presidents letter was to transmit to
him the results of the exhaustive
labors of the War Department.
This was done in August Since then
the whole matter has been in the
hands of the President. M. Garri-
sons hands have been tied completely
since that time. as he has been pow
erless to make a move until directed

had grown out of the Pan-Amertcan

The board took the position yester-
day that it would not be proper for the

might result in tying up this recerve

London, Jun. 19th-A Treasury note de-
clares that Ill othor considerations should be
subordinate to the paramount necessity of
outstanding the financial resources with u
view to the successful prosecution of the
war. Accordingly it is imperative for the
national interest that fresh issues of capital
should be approved by the Treasury before
they are made, therefore issues for under
taktngs IN the United Kingdom will be al
owed only where the Treasury is satisfied
that they are advisable in the national IN
terest. Issues for undertakings in the British
Empire overseas viii be allowed only where
1t IS shown that they are of urgent necessity
and when special circumstances exist, and
issues for undertakings outside of the En-
plre will not be allowed. The Treasury or
dinarlly will not insist on foreign restrictions
where issues are required for the renewal Of
Treasury oils and other short instruments
held there and falling due in foreign or CO.
lonlal governments OF municipalities, or for
railways or other undertakings.
The "Morning Post, commenting OH the
rise III food prices, says the tariff which
would have encouraged the production Of
fOOdstuffs IN this country now would be saw
ing us a part of these high prices, but we
refused to consider any such precautionary
policy, and we must face the consequence.
Fortunately, the navy maintains the ocean
roads, and as lcng as tins continues, while
there may be high prices, there should not
be famine, and here we have the advantage
over Germany which, with all her fore
sight, is not quite able to feed herself,
and unless we allow her she cannot import
foodstuffs. 1t says that sacrifices in the ma
TONS cause have been made without muir
muring and the people have sent their Sous,
brothers and husbands to the front and have
foregone most comforts and all superHuiIies,
but they will not accept the privatIons forced
on them in order that the few in n position
to squeeze them may gain fortunes out of
their want md excuse themselves on the
ground that market prices are under condi-
tons of uncontrolled private trading, and
those conditions Of trading should be altered.
