FAVORS
THE KNOX BOOM
Declares That the People of the
State and Nation Want the
Former Senator

United States Senator Boies Penrose
last night declared in favor of the
election of Philander Chase Knox as
United States senator to succeed
George T. Oliver. In his statement
the senator voiced the rapidly mount
ing sentiment of the people of the
State for his former colleague, the
former Attorney General and Secre-
tary of State, and said that not only
the people of Pennsylvania, but of the
nation, need him.
The senator said:
Every Republican in PENNSYLVANIA
will be gratified to learn that the Re
publicans in the western part of the
State have come to a harmonious
agreement upon the question of United
States senator.
1T has been the custom in our State
to have one senator from east of the
Allegh henies and the other senator from
the western section. This year the
senatorship belongs TO the west, and
several candidates have been men
toned. including Senator Crow, L. V.
Babcock and ex-senator Knox.
"Mr. Crow announced some time
ago that he was not a candidate. and
now Mr. Babcock comes out in state
ment declaring that his extensive bust
ness interests will not permit him al
this time to be a candidate, and that
he favors the candidacy of Mr.. Knox
Il served nearly six years in the
Senate with Mr.. Knox as my colleague.
and we were always able to work to-
Sether in the fullest cooperation and
harmony. Mr.. Knox Is a statesman of
wide experience and with q unique
public record, in that he has served i'm
the Cabinets of three Presidents.
Mckinley, Roosevelt and Taft, as At
torney General and Secretary of State
There are few men now in public
life having his familiarity with public
questions, and it is distinctly rec
ognized, / think, by the people Of
Pennsylvania that his knowledge and
experience are particularly needed at
this time. not only by the people of
Pennsylvania, but by the people of the
whole country.
Mr.. KnoX's return to the Senate
will be welcomed. II was proper that
the Republicans of Western Pennsyl-
vania should have come to an agree
ment on this question. and it is fortu-
nate that the result of their con-
clusions is eminently satisfactory to
the people of the eastern part of the
State; i'm fact, Mr.. KnoX's candidacy
will be welcomed by citizens regardless
| of party, and / predict for him an
| unopposed nomination and the election
in November by very large majority

Governor will declare for the former
Senator and Secretary OF State for
Senator.
Mr.. Knox arrived here late last
night and was taken TO the Executive
mansion in the State automobile. He
spent good part of the morning with
the Governor in the mansion library
and then accompanied him to the
Capitol, where he called upon Secre-
tary of the Commonwealth Cyrus Il.
Woods. He later took lunch with Mr..
Woods and left this afternoon for
Pittsburgh.
The boom for Mr.. Knox, which has
been growing every day, is supported
by people in every part of the State
and last night Senator Boies Penrose
at Philadelphia came out for his
nomination and election.
~ Pleasant Visit"
When Mr. Knox was asked about
his reported candidacy he smiled and
said: "Oh. have nothing to say"
viii you make an announce
ment"' was asked.
II expect that | will issue a state
ment tomorrow from Pittsburgh"
will II be an announcements
New, | really cannot foreshadow
what it will contain. II will be a
statement, that is ALL" was the reply.
The secretary when asked about
his visit to the Governor said: "I had
a pleasant visit with him. You had
better see the Governor"
Governor Brumbaugh said that he
would make a statement about the
visit later in the afternoon.
Capitol Hill Is looking for a
declaration by the Governor in favor
OF Mr. Knox.

nature"
Students who witnessed the battle
Yesterday said the fighting was mark
ed by the fiercest scrimmage and the
toughest tactics they had ever seen,
but the fatality and large number of
accidents were due to the slippery
field. j. w. Miller, a senior in the
Wharton School, who was a field mar
shal, said the large numbers partici-
pating made it difficult to get foot
ing i'm the muddy field.
About 400 freshmen and 800
sophomores took part in the battle.
Heard Boys Plea For Life
Elmer T.. Little, a freshman living
in the Normandie, said:
1T was in the second period of the
fight. I had a hand on the bowl,
which was inverted. The crush be-
hind me was terrible. Near the end
of the fight I heard some one under
me moaning and crying: Get off!
Get off! Get them off; they're killing
me-
"I raised myself and yelled: Get
back, you fellows to those behind
me. There's somebody dying under
this pile
"Those who were directly behind
me pulled back a little and gave us
air, but it was not long before a new
bunch crowded us again. The crunch
ing of bodies.s the shouting and con-
fusion was awful. / didn't hear the
moan any more, but when the fight
ended and we got up there was a
fellow on the ground who could not
move
Coroner Knight. after investigating
the affair, said that the death of Will
liam L. Lifson, the freshman who
lost his life in the fight. was due to
suffocation and that he had found
nothing to warrant arrests. All of
the injured students are expected to
recover.

Greeks Protest
The fact that the French flag is
now waving over the palace, on the
Island of Corfu, which belonged TO
the German emperor and that the
occupation of the Greek island by
the entente is considered as complete
as il is reported, already evoked q
protest from the Greek government.
1t is said that the protest is largely
formal and that the allies have given
Greece guarantees regarding their
intentions. Greece, 1t Is understood,
takes a sympathetic view of the en-
tente action, as 1t is for the purpose
of preventing the Serbian army from
risking the danger of starvation.
The German offensive in Cham
payne which reached its elimination
Sunday, is insistently reported from
French headquarters as having been
undertaken on an important scale and
with a definite military purpose. Tho

which We're employed suffered terrible

port that preparations are being made

ture of the stronghold OF Mount Low

pushed to within five miles of Anti
vari. which is being bombarded by
Austrian guns of long range.
The Montenegrins have determined
TO keep up their fight. it is declared,
and are making determined resist
ance, but are greatly outnumbered.
Blow Up Bridge
Unconfirmed reports that the attack
of the Teutonic allies on the entente
forces at Saloniki had begun are fol-
lowed to-day by the announcement in
SalonilSi dispatch that French engi-
neers as q precautionary measure have
blown up the important railroad
bridge over the Strumma river at
Demir- IIssar Northern Greece.
The Demir-f flissar bridge spans the

THE EARLY CHURCH AND WAR

1t is a matter of record that the
early Christian refused even to bear
arms, and that not until 800 years had
passed and Christianity was about to
become a state religion, was the Chris
tian doctrine perverted to accommo-
date the ambitions of the ruling pow
ers, who desired to turn the population
into a huge fighting machine. The
"early fathers were uniform in their
denunciations of war. Origen. AM
brose, Chrysostom, Jerome, Cyril, all
declared 1t to be unlawful for Chris
tians to go to war. Justin Martyr Tin
the second century, wrote, THE devil
is the author of all war" to which both
Fabian and Clement gave assent in
terms almost Identical Cyprian called
it "a pagan custom, repugnant to the
spirit of the Gospel" Tertullian
wrote, "Our religion teaches that it is
better to be killed than to kill" and
Lactantius declared, ut can never be
lawful for righteous man to go to
war, whose warfare is righteousness it
self" For two whole centuries, Chris
tians declined to serve in the army as
being an unlawful profession, and Ter
tullian bears witness that from 10 to
200 A. d. there were no Christians in
the Roman legions. They were called
''the followers of peace, who used none
of the instruments of war" Even as
late as 2S0 A. d. many Roman soldiers,
becoming converts to Christianity, left
the army. Thus 1t is clearly shown
that not until the Christian Church be.
came an arm of the Roman state was 1t
led to forsake God and the life of faith
and become an instrument of deadly
strife.-THE CHRISTIAN HERALD.
