0UTCAST PASTOR
TO FACE HIS
FLOCK
Going Back to Pulpit after
Spending Short Time in
the Underworld.

DETROIT, Mich, Aug. 2l.-The Rev
r. II. ForteSquc Gairdner rector Of ST..
Martins Episcopal church, Of Chicago,
is no coward.
After ten days Of the most bitter
eufterng in mind and body the min
lister, who during that time, believed
he hadn't friend in the world, has
decided to go home and face his flock.
For ten days the beset pastor, ac-
cused Of various indisCretions, has
wandered from place to place seek
ing to avoid those who would Ques-
ton him.
The story Of the man who stepped
from the pulpit Of the quiet Austin
parish into the fevered nightmare that
brought him in touch with women of
the underworld, pickpockets, wine,
men of evil, has been nearly told.
Bit by bit the story has been added
to as it rolled along; new faces, new
haunts, new terrors have arisen, and
each day the minister has read of the
uncoyering, His soul became sick.
Appeal by Saloon Men.
The much beset pastor was seen by
a party which included reporter, a
e,ioonkceper a gambler, an artist, and
a MOTEL detective as he was wandering
down the street.
"Jt's Gardner" said the detective.
Poor fellow"
The group watched him curiously
as he passed, and he, feeling their
eaze, looked np at them.
Lets stop him" whispered the sa-
loonkeepcr
The minister shrank from the hands
that touched his elbow, Iivid fear in
his face "let me alone; let me alone"
he said at is the end"
"Ah-h-" growled the publican.

inches long. A mechanician repairing the

Gerard Receives Unusual Marks Of

Berlin, via Amsterdam and London,
Nav 1.-THE feeling OF friendltness IN
Germany toward the United states today
is such as has not existed since the Lusi-
tania sank a year ago. This is true, both
Of official and unofficial circles Of the
government, as we'll as of the press and
the people. The end Of the high tension
which so often has threatened war in the
last twelve months has brought real
feeling Of relief everywhere. There was
a manifestation Of this new friendship
and cordiality yesterday when Ambassa-
dor Gerard delivered the latest and pre-
sumably last American note in reply to
the German declaration of May to For
eign Minister Won Jagow, and conferred
for an hour with him.
There will be no German answer to this
note. It is taken for granted that Presi-
dent Wilson's reply settles the entire
question as it indicates that Germans
declarations have been accepted by the
United States.
There Is, Of course, behind the new
friendship a feeling that the United
upon securing its rights from the allies,
but the German people are willing to
leave that to the American people.
The show Of special friendllness by the
German foreign Office toward the Ameri-
can Embassy did much to allay popular
hostility in Germany. Then came the
invitation to Ambassador Gerard to visit
the Kaiser at the great army headquar-
ters; his stay of four days there was un-
precedented. No other Ambassador has
been similarly honored since the war be-
gan. There were also cordial conferences
between Mr.. Gerard and Chancellor Won
Bethmann-HoIlweg before and after that
visit
Since sending the note Of May the
German government has taken other steps
to show its desire to maintain the friend
liest relations with the United States. It
has issued an official denunciation Of GER
tain attacks made upon Mr.. Gerard per-
sonally. More important still is the fact
that Germany has sent a note acknowI-
edging responsibility for the torpedoing
Of the Sussex.

simultaneously with the announcement
from the border that the Scott-ObreEon
conference had been concluded unsatis-
factorily, the War Department last night
issued orders for all line officers assigned
to the various service schools through
out the country. including the Army War
College, to join their commands on the
Mexican border.
1t also was stated that the first class
of West Point, which graduates in June,
would be given their diplomas ahead of
time and assigned to commands in the
event the Mexican crisis is not averted
within a reasonable time.
President Wilson and his Cabinet will
consider the Mexican situation at the
meeting today. In well informed circles
policy with regard to Mexican affairs
likely would be adopted, which may lead
to intervention.
President Wilson and Secretary Lans-
ing were not prepared last night to make
official announcement OF their next step.
Neither would they admit that the last
diplomatic remedy had been applied. II
was admitted. however, that aggressive
action by Gen. Obregon's army might
force intervention before diplomatic
measures might be exhausted.
1t is known that the President has
reached the conclusion that IL interven-

mexican question he will apply the rem

Appears to Refute Reports Colonel
Would Support Root. Hughes or
Any One but Himself.
CBy the sun News seryIceJ

Oyster Bay, N. Y, May 11.-Col. Roose-
welt has written letter to the Roose-
welt non-Partisan League telling them
that he approves OF the work they are
doing. The work they are doing is TO
boom the Colonel for President, and his
letter. which Is in reply to one from the
league saying that he is the only leader
under the issue Of Americanism who has
any chance of being elected, is taken TO
be a declaration that he is an avowed
candidate for the Republican and Pro-
gressivs nomination. 1t is also believed
to give the lie to the reports that he
would support Justice Hughes, Senator
Root, or any other candidate except him
self.
Extracts from Col Roosevelt's letter
follow:
'I do not have to improve my con-
victions on either Americanism or pre-
paredness. 1 have fought for them all
my life long, and when was President,
translated my convictions concerning
them into governmental policy. The
events of the past two years in Europe,
ana of the last four FIVE years IN
Mexico. have brought into vivid relief
the vital need of preparedness. And the
sinister revival Of the politico-racial
hphen in our politics has emphasized the
need Of stern insistence on thorough
going Americanism within our own
borders.
Nineteen years ago. when was As
sistant Secretary of the Navy, said:
Preparation against war is the surest
guarantee for peace As yet no nation
can hold its place in the world or can do
any work really worth doing unless It
stands ready to guard its rights with an
armed hand.
Your league emphasizes its devotion tc
these principles, and supports me only
as representing these principles. This is
emphatically the proper attitude to take.
And because this is your attitude, and
because you are working in this spirit.
very earnestly approve your work.
Il am glad and proud, as an American,
that you are fearlessly and efficiently
backing those ideals.
