APPEAL FOR Peace
MADE TO CHURCHhEN
Two Bishops and Two
Clergymen Send Letters
to EpiScopalians
ARE ASKED TO
SIGN MEMORIAL

Seeking harmony between high
and broad" churchmen Of tho
Protestant Episcopal Church in con
nection with the triennisl General
Convention. which will be held az ST.
Louis next month AN Appeal for
Peace" has been issued by two
bishops and three clergymen.
The appeal compares the present
situation IN the church to the effect
that would be created II two divi-
Yions Of an army should direct their
tire at each other when the enemy IS
bearing down upon them. It is sign

cago II reads, in part.
At q time when the world IS
crashing TO its ruin in fame and
blood. the Episcopal Church IN
the United States is engaged In
family quarrel which brings
uDon US the contempt of all men
Civilization has collapsed upon
our heads. All the energies %
the great nations abroad are be-
ing devoted to mutual demoli-
ton. We are even in grave dan
ger Of following their example.
Upon our nation the heaviest
task in the reshaping Of the
worlds destinies must fall. our
Church ought. by reason Of the
place IL holds and the claims 1t
makes. to voice most clearly the
healing mission Of our country
10 the world Yet We are rem

we are engaged. It is as though
two divisions Of an army in the
field we're to turn their guns on
one another because Of differ
ences regarding historical tactics
foreetful Of the foe which con-
duered by their dissension.
Above the uproar caused by
these bitter discussions regarding
our Inheritance. our obligations
to the past and the opinions Of
good men long dead; above the
discussion as TO whether the
Church is Catholic or Protestant
or both. whether it is the Lord
or the servant OF the Prayer

We have forgotten our task in

DRINKERS BEWARE PNEUMONIA
Health Service Warns Of March Winds
and Alcohol.

Another warning to those who i'm

issued by the Public Health Service.
The service sgain states that pneu-
monia finds most Of its victims among
those who drink too freely and with

tions. SIS follows:
1.-THE United States Public Health
Service brands strong drink as the
most efficient ally of pneumonia. IL
declares that alcohol is the hsndmsiden
of the disease, which produces 10 per
cent. of the deaths in the United
States. This is no exaggeIa n. We
have known for long time that IN
diligence in alcoholic liquors lowers
the Individual vitality and that the
man who drinks is peculiarly suscep-
tibie to pneumonia.
1.-The United States Public Health
Service is a conservative body. It
does not engage sn alarmist props
ean6a. The liberal and continuous
user of alcoholic drinks will do well 10
heed this warning. particularly at
this season Of the year when the grue-
some death roll from pneumonia is ne
ing doubled.
