MARK TWAM'S
WAR PRAYER
New York Evening POST

DR.. Henry Neumann, in an address
at the Brooklyn society for ethical cul
ture, at the Brooklyn academy Of
music, Sunday, quoted from an unpub
lished article by Mark Twain on the
subject of war. He said:
"a few years befare his death, Mark
Twain wrote an article, entitled The
War Prayer It describes how regi
ment gathers in church before it de
parts for the war and prays for vic
tory. AS the prayer concludes, a
white-robed stranger enters the church
and says: I have been sent by the
Almighty to tell you that he will
grant your petition if you still desire
it after I have explained to you its
full import. You are asking for more
than you seem to be aware of. You
have prayed aloud for victory, over
your foes, but listen now to the IN
spoken portion Of your prayers and
ask yourselves if this is what you
DESIRE
Then the stranger speaks aloud
these implications of their words: 70
Lord, help us to tear the soldiers OF
the foe to bloody shreds with our
shells; help US to cover this smiling
field with the pale forms of their pa
triot dead; help US to lay waste their
humble homes with hurricane of
fire; help us to wiring the hearts Of
their unoffending widows with an I'M
availing grief. Blast their hopes.
blight their lives, water their way
with their tears
mark Twain never published this
article. His friends told him it would
be regarded as a sacrilege. Is it real
ly sacrilege to say that men cannot
pray for victory in war without asking
for these inevitable implications OF
their petition? What would it mean
If we remembered this when the war
spirit was abroad?"

Belmont Assembly Settles
Question OF Jurisdiction

In the absence of President Crun-
ellie, Vice President Charles F. Stone
burner opened the session, with Geo.
Seiberts acting as the vice president.
The credentials Of the new Bartend-
lers' delegates were presented and the
following delegates were present to
be obligated: Conrad Wendell, William
e. Miller and Allen Phillips. The
presenting of the credentials brought
forth quite an argument and resulted
in the motion to seat the delegates
being defeated. A motion to grant the
prospective delegates the floor was
carried, and the gentlemen made a
statement that the local at Bella1re.
not complying with the rules OF the
international Organization of Bartend-
ers, were deprived of the charter they
were expecting and the Bartenders at
Bridgeport did make application for
and we're granted a charter covering
Bridgeport and Martins Ferry, as 1t
was the desire Of all the bartenders
of those two towns to form one union.
To this, George w. Pyle took excep-
ton, claiming that the reason Bellalre
had no charter was that the Bartend-
ers took exception to the idea of the
organizer, when, at the meeting, after
excepting them into the scret work
Of the organization he wanted to &C
lcept the transfers of men who were
there before he completed his organ
ization, with the result that he de
parted with the charter that was in
tended for the Bellaire local, as at
, that time it was intended to organize
one local temporarily. and later or
ganize the other.
! It was decided that the Bartenders
local should be permitted to attend
the Assembly meetings but the creden
tials should not be accepted until the
Arbitration Committee made thor

that the Lathers who had applied fol

were fined $500 for a breach of theil

the sturdy youngsters OF the regular
army, the blue Jackets and militia.
Then one Of the Red Cross ambul-
ances which had been passing up ano
down continually, dashed by with the
form OF a worn out veteran lying on
the stretcher inside. The president
turned to General Miles and expressed
concern as TO the ability Of the older
veterans to stand the march.

the face of the French ambassador

the floor, to be recovered this time by

The old veterans themselves now
were passing. The president was on

crowds in the stands cheered madly
as the silver headed marchers passed.
Ono veteran, older apparently than

white hair waving, stumbled as he
