SAYS PEOPLE AT WAR ALL WANT
 PEACE
Lack of News by One Side About the Other, Alone Prevents Peace, Says Ex- pert to Women's Party.
(By Review Leased WIrej

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9. - Recent personal investigations of conditions in England, France and Germany re- vealed that the mass of the people in all these countries are anxious for peace. Miss Madeline Doty of New York, told the annual meeting of the Women's Peace Party tonight. The speaker said the lack of accurate news in one group of belligerent coun- tries regarding conditions in the oth- CT group is mainly responsible for the continuation of the hostilities.
 ''The people of France and England I have been told by responsible per sons," said the speaker, "are heartily sick of this war. Because Lloyd George and other persons have been crying that Germany, the powerful, must be crushed, if England and France are to survive, the people have come to believe that such is the truth AS matter of fact, the people of Ger many are weak and they want peace.
 ITO say that England and France by continuing the war will crush mili- tarism in Germany is erroneous. It is fact the longer the war continues the stronger the militarists of Ger many will become When the British and French people realize the exact condition of the German people then will peace be near"
 Miss Doty told of attending mass meetings in Germany where peace prospects were freely discussed by civilians and soldiers.
 Her investigation of conditions in France and England. she said, disclos- ed that peace meetings were not per mitted.

TORONTO. Ont, Dec. g. English shell contracts in the United States virtually all run out within six months and most of them within three months after the first of the year, and will not be renewed, it was announced here today by J. w. .Flavelle, chairman of the Imperial Munitions Board for Can ada. This would increase Canada 5 responsibility in the future and Cana. dian munition manufacturers will be expected to fulfill their contracts for 1917, he said.
 "Of course Britain will still contin- ue to purchase copper, brass. steel and other raw materials from the States" he said, but she will not pur- chase any more of the finished shells. Canada is still behind with her deliv- cries"

 Iris Soldiers Home.
 How about the rights of the men who do not want tJ attend revivals by them? Are they to be compelled to leave the camp, which is their home and wander about down town or through fields to get away from them? Has man no rights because he is a soldier?
 Rubbing 1t In.
 There are many religious people who disapprove strongly Of revivals with their attendant emotionalism. and anyhow, be a man religious or ir- religious; be he Christian. Hebrew. or Mohammadan, no other person has a right to rub his belief or his worship into his face; that it. to bring it into the place where he has a right to be and where he cannot escape it with out abandoning that place. *****
 Doesn't Want Riot.
 Soldiers must be protected from imposition by their superior officers and if these officers from weakness or other reason fail in their duty. their only recourse is submission or riot; and it is a safe guess that the latter is what you would have got with a typical old fashioned revival in any one of the camps ******
 chaplains Suffice.
 Every regiment has it's chaplain and these practically represent every Christian denOmination-man of these chaplains are Baptists. They regularly hold service in the camps, but at the proper time and along the usual lines just as services are ordin- arily held in churches.
 By the way, does it not seem queer to you that I had never indicated to anyone of them that he should not preach to the men. that they were lost? Do ySu, down deep in your heart. really believe that after 20 years service as an officer I am just now beginning to set myself up an ex- pert in theological dictrine and taking it upon myself to dictate what shall or shall not be preached to the men under my command?

 "I further instructed Colonel Barnum to say to you that did not accept, in fact resented, the implication that be- cause a man had put on his country's uniform he was necessarily lost or worse than other men; that thought they were people who had stayed at home who needed reyivals worse than the soldiers did.#****
 Under the circumstances you may imagine my astonishment when l read your statements to the effect that had said that I would not allow the soldiers to be told that they were 'lost',,, You must know as well as do that the doctrine that should be preached to the men was never once considered or mentioned. and with all due courtesy I feel compelled to say that your making repeatedly the state ments you are quoted as making are absolutely inexcusable and did me great injustice.

SAN ANTONIO. Dec 9-Major Gen eral Frederick Funston, commanding the department of the south. tonight replied to the Rev. J. B. Gambrelt, secretary Of the executive of the Bap- tist general convention explaining the generals reason for not permitting re vivals in the military camps here and along the border. Numerous Baptist conventions had adopted resolutions condemning what they understood to have been the generals action, and suggestions were made that President Wilson, as commander in chief of the army, be asked to take official cogniz- ance of the matter. A resolution ask ing for information on the controversy also has been introduced in Congress.
 Funston Has Say.
 General Funston gave out copies of the letter to the press i'll which he says in part:
 Criticism Unjust.
 From time to time I have been re- ceiving copies of resolutions passed by various Baptist Eodies condemning my supposed stand relative to holding religious services among the troops on the border, and also have received a number of very unjust and in some cases abusive letters from clergymen of the same denomination Incidental ly I might say that have had more letters approving my stand than have criticizing it.
 Truth Misunderstood.
 This whole disagreeable incident with all of it's annoyance to me, of course, arises from the statement made by you after your visit to the headquarters a couple of months ago in which you sought to obtain permis- sion to conduct a series of revivals in the border camps. You stated your business to Colonel Barnum, chief of staff If Colonel Barnum stated at that time what denomination you be- longed to. it made no impression on my mind and if he had it would have made no difference whatever .
