kAIsER's THEOLOGICAL VIEWS

The Kaiser is a stubborn nighttime
man, but his theological views seem
to have undergone some little change
since the beginning of the wal. AT
least. We infer this from the report
of a recent speech to the troops on
the western front in commemora-
ton Of the dead, in which he is quot
ed as SAYING: eve who are living will
continue to fight until nobody, will
ever dare again to assail The honor
and liberty Of the German people"
adding that che hoped God would be
with the Germans" in the battle still
to come.
A contemporary suggests that when
the war began the Emperor announc-
ed positively that the Lord was an
allv to the Central Powers, Now he
merely expresses the hope that He
will be found to be fighting with them
At the same time IL would SEEM III
be inferable from the tone of his re-
marks that if Providence does not as
sist him. the loss will be Heavens
and not -Germany's, and that the lat
ter will certainly pull through any
how.
The sooner all the European kings:
statesmen and generals abandon their
references to supposed partnership
with Providence, the less hypocrisy
there will be in their utterances. The
Lord may make Himself felt in va
rious ways in this conflict and in its
outcome, but We imagine few OF
those responsible for it have the
right to pose as His spokesman.

TO RETAIN PROTESTANT
Episcopal Faction Drops Fight 10

st. Louis, Oct. "a Efforts to
change the name Of the Protestant
Episcopal Church have been abandon
ca i'm the convention in session here,
leaders Of the wing Of the church ad-
vocating the change announce. This
followed the action Of the House OF
Deputies of the convention Saturday,
n adopting without debate a title page
for new hymnal which affirmed the
present name of the church.
For several years change of name
has been advocated by faction in the
church, upo nthe ground that the word
Protestant in the title apparently
allies it with those denomination hav-
ing their origin with the Reformation.
The Protestant Episcopal Church trac-
es is history to the time CT Christ,
they assert.
Many names have been suggested,

ccpal Church." and the "Catholic
Church of America. . "The American
Catholic Church." and the "Anglo-

sroRM-TossED EUROPE II.

eontfasted conditions between our
country and Europe were in evll--s
dence Yesterday morning It was . :
bright and beautiful Sunday, and.
while. children, summoned by the
.hel,s were vending their way hap.
,pilv to Sunday schools the morning
ha;sers were being delivered The
ir sf ! pages, while not printed in red,
were bloody in one sense. ESeiy
Column contained some frighdul az
count of the carnage now going on
in Europe. In the first column bold
headlines announced the assassina-
ton of the Austrian premier, an
other gave graphic account OF the
moving down of brave Teutons who
were endeavoring to reclaim lost
ground on the Somme, then brutal
conflicts between Roumanians and
Germans, as well as equally san
culinary conflicts between Russians
and Austrians, while Italians and
the soldiers of Francis Joseph were
deadlocked in mountain positions.
The people of this country were
listening to chimes, realizing
that the dove Of peace is among US,
and that the only suspicious of frie-
ton between the United States and
any other country were scenes on
the Rio Grande where American sol
diers are Willing away their time
smoking, reading, etc.
But. returning to the fearful scenes
in Europe Gen. G. Malleterre, dlvl-
sion commander under Gen. 5ofrre'
saws we are only at the beginning
of the end of the war. The anteg-
onism displayed by the rival forces
is such that only the destruction of
one by the other can be conceived.
The world must be prepared for tn;
third year CT the war which Will be
more terrible than the first two.
But it will be the last the General
hopes. if the allies effort is guided
by one hand through and if they
throw all their forces into the prep
aration for it, he believes they vii!

HOLLAND READY TO WAR
Building Up Army and Navy as Dc
Tense Againsc Ether
Belligerant.

The Hague, Oct. 23-The Duten
government is ready to go to war
any moment to protect Hollands
neutrality. Dutch officials admit It.
Holland is not tempting fate,
though her diplomats and influential
newspapers are doing their best -
keep her from any combination q
circumstances that might force .hc;'
to side with one belligerent or tie
other in the war.
Dutch officials candidly admit thcF
will fight England for any unneutr@i
act against or upon Dutch soil; ari
that the same thing goes for Ger
many. Holland will fight her for tie
same reasons and just as quickly.
Holland is devoting as much time,
material; and energy to the upbuiid
ing of her army as she is to the dc
velopment of her navy.
Today it is the Queen who is the
woman of the hour" and the rea
leader of the government of Holland.
Every morning at $50 she is e:
her desk and she works all day. sh:.
attends every ministerial council,
and she is said to have written th2
cleverest parts of many of Holland
protest notes to both Great Britain
and Germany.
Holland, as is well known, is build
ing a great many submarines. A fe9
days ago a new one was Launched
and the Queen went out in it for ha.:
an hour, travelling part of the tim,
under water. The Queen observe:
strict neutrality in her own household
Her husband, Prince Henry, was .
German prince from Mecklenburg, s.
there is naturally some feeling among
pro-ally Dutch about this. His 10y
atty to Holland is not questioned, but
in order not to have him suspected
in any way he is told none or the Sc
crets of state. He is made chief Of
the Red Cross SO he can have som2-
thing to do, but in this work he is
subje2thto the orders Of Genera!

today.
The capture OF the seaport 6

rnand from the church. There's as "a
suspicion on the part of some that
the church is composed of carefully
housed people, who, in social life,
wish to keep things as they ARE:
There is a suspicion on the part OF
others that the church is here to
support its own dogmas and opln-
ions without regard for truth, and Vie
must, as a church, give such man
a hearing"

 Foy The Belglams

gian government and Of the higher clergy have acquainted you with the facts. A glance at the section of The Hague regulations of 1907, which deals with the law of war on land. will make il obvious that the sole reason why the prohibition Of this modern slave dealing was not included was because no delegate imagined it could ever be necessary
 Indeed. one must turn to the history of the early ages of long past centur- ies before international law existed to find a parallel To the enslaving of the Belgians. The Hague regulations stip- ulate that the honor and rights of the family must be respected but the Ger man government deliberately drags the Belgian families apart To us this cruelty is more vivid every day. EV- cry day numbers of fugitives. in spite of the deadl~ electric wire which the Germans have erected along the from tier. succeeded in escaping to The Netherlands From them we learn the painful details Of the unutterable de- spair of the women and children who are left behind and of the agonizing scenes which take place when hus bands, brothers and sons. dragged from their homes and women folk. are liilu tdAAit anu lftlSUl .tdlS anu thus transported slaves to an unknown destination and to an unknown fate
 'To put an end to this-to arrest this hellish scourge. which at this mo- ment lacerates the whole of northern France and western Russia there is but one way open. and that is collec- tive action on the part of neutral nations
 And for you. citizens of the might
 fest of the neutral states. il is, in our opinion. the right and duty to take the leadership upon yourselves. Only if you place yourselves at the head can any success crown our efforts This tyranny is not to be borne in patience. and the neutral nations can no longer stand idly by while in western Europe the most primitive laws Of humanity. observed even by uncivilized races. are trampled under foot.
 We appeal to you to urge your gov ernment to enerretic and decisive ac- ton and to call upon the other neu- tral nations to rally around you. That they will find faith and strength in your leadership is evidenced by the stream of messages expressive of sym
 pathy and a desire to cooperate which have reached us from the moment we published our intention to make this appeal to the American people. We do not hesitate to take it upon ourselves
 to speak with firm conviction in the iname of humanity. and our hope is 1 firmly fixed on that sense of justice which always has formed one of the
 most cherished traditions Of citizens of
 the United States. Americans. we are convinced that you will not disappoini
 our expectations"
