AMERICA WITHOUT
FRIEND IN WORLD,
P|NCHOT ASSERTS
Outrage if Germany Wins in
War, He Tells Montclair
Audience.

America has no friends in the
world, said Clifford Pinchot last
night, addressing Unity Forum. in
Unity Church. Montclair, on "Our
Interest in the World War" He up
held the allies and said it would be
an outrage should Germany win.
"All the nations of the allies" he
said "resent the American indif-
ference TO the fight they are making.
because they feel they are fighting
for the cause of democracy, which is
as much our cause as theirs.
1.-THE situation in which the United
States finds itself at the present
time cannot be remedied until after
the next presidential election"
According to Mr.. Pinchot the Pro-
gressive party will at that time have
a definite policy purpose with regard
to preparedness.
The speaker began by saying that
man was roasted" by the Bible be-
cause he was neither hot nor cold.
II will endeavor." he added TO
avoid that condition" Most of the
people agreed that he was pretty hot.
at is unwise" he said, ito advise
Americans to be neutral. America.
has everything tn gain from the allies
victory and would lose much by Ger
many's success. ! have no idea that
Germany will win, but if she does ii
will mean a foisting on the world of
military autocracy. The allies tri-
umph would be one of democracy.
Notwithstanding the partnership Of
Russia, the fight of the allies is one
for democracy. They are fighting our
battles. and I feel that we ought at
least wish them God-speed
1--WE should not withhold our ex-
pressions of approval. and I think we
would be better off if we would enter
the cause by furnishing free NUM-
tions to the allies and also battle
ships.
"There are two or three reasons why
Germany should not win. II she
should the greatest outrage of history,
the raid on Belgium, would be unpun-
ished and the greatest massacre of
modern times-that of the Armenians
by Turkey-would be unpunished.
Neither is it unlikely, if she should
win, that Germany and Japan would
get together and have n common
cause against the United States"
Mr.. Pinchot said he thought the ad-
ministration made n great mistake
when it failed to protest against the
raiding of Belgium, and because of
that and "other actions this country
has not a friend in the world.
Speaking of preparedness, he said
he could not tell what it should con-
sist Of, because it is a technical mat
ter He said he believed in prepared
ness.
1t is a question, he said, of a pos
sible attack and under what condition
the attack could be made.

q months evangelistical campaign
In starting the campaign. Mr..
Greenly warned his congregation last
night that he might at times say
things that will offend certain per-
sons. but he said he proposed to talk
straight from the shoulder and be-
lieved the offending of a few would
be lost in the great good that he eN-
poets the services will accomplish.
lie declared Iryington does not

meyer had a revival, and that its
Christian people allow saloons open
on Sundays, allow clubs to sell with
out licenses and neighbors to work
on the Sabbath. The God of EXpe-
dicncy, of excuse, seems to be irving
tons idol. We don't need more police
nor new officials TO make lrvinSton
one of the most God-fearing and re-
spectacle towns in New Jersey, we do
need a revival to bring about these
things"
Distributed about the pews were
cards announcing the services and
asking a number of questions, few
of which were:
"If Christ were to come to Irving
ton what changes would you make II
you had twenty-four hours notice? .
would you change any dates?
"Would you pay some debts you re-
fused TO settle for years?
Would you spend more nights at
home with your family?
"Would you take a pack of cards off
the table and put the Bible there?''
His subject last night was John
the Baptist as an Evangel.' There
was special choir of fifty voices as
sisting in the musical program. Rep

seemed 10 be positive in her own mind
that her assailant was Federico.
As soon as Chief of County Detec-
tives Fred Weimer received news OF
the robbery he sent Detective-Ser-
geant Godfrey post haste to North
field in an automobile. On the way
Godfrey picked up Tortariello. who
has been aiding in the search Tor
Federico. After getting Mrs. Tomp-
kins' story and her Identification Of
picture of Federico as the robber, God
frey and Tortariello made an eNhaus-
tive search of the neighborhood, even
going a far as MorristoWn, but no
trace of Federico, or the robber II 1t
was not Federico. was found.
Wore False Moustache.
According to Mrs Tompkins. the
man who robbed her had a black
mustache, but she was of the opinion
that 1t was a false mustache or else
had been very heavily dyed recently,
as she said the hairs seemed stiff. She
could not see the mans hair or eye
brows, as he wore n heavy cap, cover
ing his entire skull and pulled well
down on his forehead. The man wore
broadcloth overcoat of light texture
and good material which reached 10
his knees. 1t was recalled by county
Federico used to wear just such an
overcoat around the Court House.
The description given by Mrs.
Tompkins compares almost exactly
with the one sent out by the police in
connection with the Offering OF a re-
ward of 81 500 for his apprehension.
THE man who robbed me- said
Mrs. Tompkins. "was about five feet
eight or nine inches in height and
weighed over 175 pounds. From his
face and accent / could tell he was an
Italian. and I am positive about the
pockmarks on his face, as | looked
particularly for them. lie walked
with a peculiar stride, not limp ex-
actly. but a sort of shuifling gait.
1t was this latter detail that con-
vinced Detective Sergeant Godfrey
that Federico was Mrs. Tompkins' as
sailant, for il describes Federicls g
style of gait exactly. Mr.. Godfrey last
night admitted that he believed the
man was Federico. but was close
mouthed about the all-night and all
day search made by himself and
Tortariello, except to say that 1t led
them to Morristown. Whether 1t de-
veloped anything promising he re-
fused to say until he had reported to
Prosecutor Guild today.
Raymond Winans, grandson OF
Mrs. Tompkins, was approached by
the robber about three hours before
the latter went to the Tompkins
home. The robber asked Winans II
there was any chance of getting
work at the Tompllins home and was
told there was not. The man said he
would go to Dover and find work
there and started up the road in the
direction of Dover.
Winans said he paid no particular
attention to the man but gave the
same general description of him that
Mrs. Tompkins did. The same man Is
also said to have stopped at "A store
in Northfield about noon Saturday
and purchased some crackers, cheese
and cakes.
