 phanage of Cromwell.

Rev. Gustave E. Pihl, pastor of the Swedish Bethany church, has received call from the board of directors of the Swedish Christian Orphanage or Cromwell asking him to take charge of that institution. Rev. MT. P1hI

 charge of the home. Emil HJerpe of
 this city was superintendent pr1ol to
 the present incumbents, MT. and Mrs.
 Charles Colby. MT. Hjerpe super
 vised the building of the home and
 later was chosen superintendent. MT.
 and Mrs Colby were appointed in
 July, 1915, and because of the lat-er's ill health sent in their resignatiors. Rev. MT. Pihl came to this city in 1901 from Pauxton, H., and by virtue 1 of his pastorate here was also a mem" ] Der of the board of directors of the 1 Cromwell Home. His work has been very successful and the parishioners will regret to have him leave if he should accept the resignation. Mr. Pihl will consider the offer before l making any decision. In referring to , the call, he said:
 1T am in a great predicament. I love my church and I love the or" phanage. I do not like to leave the one but I would like to be in charge of the other. I have not yet mention ed it to my congregation but [ will do so in the near future.'

that is said or did ly the sentiments Of genuine friendship. which the peo- pie Of the United States have always entertained. and continue to entertain, towards the German nation. 1t has, of course, accepted the successive ex- plantations and assurances Of the I'm perial German government. as given in entire sincerity and good faith, and has hoped, even against hope, that it would prove to be possible for the Ger man government so to order and con- trol the acts of it's naval commanders as to square it's policy with the princi- pIes of humanity as embodied in the laws of nations. It has been willing to wait until the significance of the acts became absolutely unmistakabIy and susceptible of but one interpretation
 That point has now unhappily been reached. The facts are susceptible of but one interpretation. The Imperial German government has been unable to put any limits or restraints upon it's warfare against either freight or pas senger ships. It has therefore become painfully evident that the position which this government took at the very outset is inevitable, namely, that the use of the submarines for the de- sJruction of an enemy's eomeree is of necessity because of the very eharae- ter of the vessels employed and the very method Of attack which their ern- Dloyment of course involves, incom- patible with the principles of humanity the long established and incontroverti- ble rights of neutraIs and the sacred immunities of noncombatants.
 sI have deemed it my duty there fore, to say to the Imperial German government that if it is still 1t purpose to prosecute relentless and indiscrinl- mate warfare against vessels of conn., merce by the use of submarines, not withstanding the now demonstrated impossibility of conducting that war fare in accordance with what the gov ernment of the United States must consider the sacred and indisputabIe rules of international law and the uni- versally recognized dictates of hll- manity, the government of the United States is at last forced to the con- cIusion that there is but one course it can pursue; and that unless the Inn periaI government should now imme- diately declare and effect an abandon- ment of it's present methods of war fare against passenger and freight yes sells, this government can have no choice but to sever diplomatic reIa- tions with the government of the Ger man empire altogether.
 T have taken it, and taken it in the confidence that it will meet with your approval and support. All sober minded men must unite in hoping that the Imperial German government, which has in other circumstances stood as the champion of all that we now eerftendiug for in the interest of humanity, may recognize the jus tiee of our demands and meet them in the spirit in which they are made

SENATE ]. KS ARMY PLAN
MILLION PEACE STRENGTH BILL
 PASSED BY THAT BODY.
Substitute for Hay Measure Provides for 25o, GOO Regular Forces, 25O,ooo
 Reserves and 261 GOO Guards.

Washington, D. C.--Military lead CTS are discussing with unprecedented interest what the bill passed by the senate Tuesday, providing for nearly million men in the regular army and reserve militia, means as step to- ward preparedness. The measure, passed without recorded vote, was a substitute for the Hay bill passed by the house.
 The senate measure made provision for regular standing army with a. peace strength of 250,009 men, as com pared with 40, ,000 under the Hay bill, retained a plan for an army reserve force of about 261 .000 men and fed eralized national guard of about 2sO,- 900 men.
 Tn addition, an amendment was passed to create school and college youths reserve corps in time of war or threatened war, which would re- cruit force of trained young men, schooled by officers of the regular army, the estimated strength of which is estimated anywhere from 100000 to 400, ,00O.
 'tNVe are creating here a peace army of million men," declared Senator Myers, in supporting an amendment of Senator Reed to make the regular army 100000 The senate had agreed previously, by a vote of 43 to g, to an amendment by Senator Brandegee, in ereasing it from the proposed strength of 1S0.000 to 250.000 The Reed redue- ing proposal was rejected, 42 to 31, after brief speech by Senator Will Hams, in which he referred 10 the sol emnity of the occasion which would confront congress soon.
 Are we or are we not threatened with war;" asked Senator Williams Are we or are we not threatened with war from Mexico? Are we or are we not threatened with war over the subt marine controversy2 Have not we been called to assemble in joint ses- sion, the solemn purpose of which we do not ourselves definitely under stand?"
