PLEA OF MILLION
Iowa Senator Says II Is Morally Wrong
= to Supply Means With Which to Kill
Human Beings-Praying For Peace
on Sunday and Manufacturing NUM-
tiops Other Days Of Week Held by
Kenyon to Be Rank Hypocrisy.

Washington, Jan. 27.-When the SEN
ate convened today a thousand bundles
of petitions urging an embargo on war
munitions to Europe. and signed by a
million men and women, were piled in
front of the vice presidents desk.
The petitions, resulting from an en-
barge campaign Of the organization OF
American women for strict neutrality.
were brought from Baltimore, head
quarters Of the organization, in auto
mobile moving vans. 80
The petitions express Earnest pro-
tests for humanitarian reasons against
the expectation from this country OF
the things which kill for the use of the
nations engaged in the present con-
flict."
Senator Kenyon, OF iowa, author OF
an embargo resolution, in offering the
petition, said:
".rhe signers of these petitions are
not pro-German, but they are pro-
American, pro-humahity. pro- -chistan-
ity. The tremendous shipment of things
to kill people with is not prompted by
humanity. 1t Is cold -blooded money
making proposition. The Jingle Of the
dollar can not drown the cry Of suffer-
ing from the battle fields. It may be all
right to sell these things according to
international law, but 1t is against the
moral law. To pray for peace on Sun
day and to spend the week manufacture
ing munitions of war is rank hypoc-
risy."

Serious Defect
Is Discouered In
Dry Amendment

Des Moines, Jan. 27-Iowa anti
saloon league leaders today faced
the possibility of having to change
their program on the constitutional
amendment which was enacted by
the last general assembly and must
be approved by the next legislature.
John B. Hammond, until yester-
day chairman of the law enforce
ment committee of the Iowa Bus
mess Mems Temperance Associa-
ton, claims to have discovered a
serious defect in the proposed
amendment and a test case will be
brought by the association to clear
up the point.
"The error lies in the fact that
the amendment provides for amend
ing the constitution in a certain way
in certain place, namely to follow
section 26 of article one of the con-
stitution, said Mr.. Hammond to-
day. There is no section rs as the
supreme court has held that what
is commonly known as section rs
OF the constitution never was any
