DR.. Eaton Calls On Every
American TO DenOunCe
German Action

The Carnegie Hall denuncation Of
Germany's chslavement of the Belgisns
found its echo in fifty New York pull
pits yesterday. Ministers Of practi-
cally all the Protestant denominations,
Lutheran excepted, devoted all or part
Of their sermons 10 the expression of
Indignation against the action Of the
Kaiser.
In several churches demands for an
immediate severing Of diplomatic re
laticns were voiced In some war was
limited at as a not unrighteous alterna-
tive in case the selling of people into
slavery could not be stopped by dipo-
matte action
New York, which first spoke in de-
fence of beaten people at Carnegie
Hall last Friday night, is stirring her
self for further action. The sermons
preached yesterday are only the be
ginning. To-day meetings Of ministers
will he held all over the city.
Al these meetings resolutions will
be passed calling upon all church mem
bers 20 voice their feelings against the
latest German barbsrity. Eventually
Washington will hear the combined
voices of the Protestant churches of
New York.
Ministers yester Jay gave indication
OF what that voice will say when il
does speak. Presbyterisns and Meth
odists, Episcopalians. Baptsts and
Dutch Reformed. they all condemned
Germany and called upon their congre-
cations for action.
Says Germany Needs Men
The Rev. DR.. David James Burrell,
pastor OF the Marble Collegiate Church,
expressed his Indignation by saying:
This Belgian business is the last Of
long series OF misdoings, and comes
from Germsny's need, not for food or
money, but for men. When the war
ends-as end 1t must in one way only
according TO the dictation of Christian
nations, shall see all these things
righted in so far as they possibly cam
be.
There must be replacement Of
men, refunding Of money, rebuilding
Of nations. The world, outside the ma
tons now at war. will not permit any
thing less than that Belgium get JUS
tice.
Were England and France. Russia
and Italy, to abandon Belgium, which
is not to be thought Of, there would
arise such demand on the part OF
America and other nations that another
war would Immediately ensue. tell
you, these wrongs must be righted, and
they will be. One does not know
American opinion or world opinion, If
he imagines that such atrocities will

The churches are afame."
Ashamed of Government
II am disguised with the American
people and ashamed OF my govern
ment," the Rev. DR.. Keigwin. pastor of
the West End Presbyterian Church,
said. Owe are raking in all the profits,
but we are being pilloried by all the
world fighting nations and others and
VIC deserve what is being said about US.
"The thing to do is to find leader,
and then let the rest of us behave our
selves while he leads. And when he
leads, he will surely put America on the
side against this horrible act of Ger
many. II a mans blood does not boil

the public's and their own vast benefit
We have already lifted Illinois from
the oath to the 22nd place among the
states in highway building.
4 have sincerely hoped to see real
lied the S-foot waterway project con-
Meeting Lake Michigan by way of the
Mississippi river and the gulf, with
the Panama canal.
Your interest in this matter is great
because you are located at the confiu-
ence of the Hennepin canal, one of
our great internal and artificial water
ways, with the Mississippi river.
THE interest of all of the people in
the state in this waterway is vital.
"a free sea is important, because we
are a member of the congress on ma
tions But internal improvements
are still more essential to our indus
trial, our economic and our national
welfare and prosperity because they
come nearest home and affect our
most intimate democratic development
and economies.
1.-The 8-foot waterway at this time
would meet the demands of common
sense and good business, because it
can be built for the minimum of eX-
penditure and yet measure the APP
proximate depth of the Mississippi
river between l. LOUIS anu SdilO.
Yet in spite of the wisdom of the
project, the fairness of the demand,
the scientific accuracy of the plan
from an engineering point of view,
delays have been caused, work has
been temporarily blocked, the machin
cry of progress has been disabled by
dilatory tactics of the concealed yet
none the less potent enemy"
