URGES PREPAREDNESS
AS CHRISTIAN Stand
Nation Should Defend Principle as
Territory. Rev. Hiram Vrooman
Declares from Pulpit.

Declaring that, as individuals, We fight
for principles. and that a nation is right
to defend principe as territory, Rev.
Hiram Vrooman. of Champaign, ILL.,, yes
terday morning preached at the Church
Of the New Jerusalem a sermon on Non
resistance and War" He said, in part:
The doctrine OF nonresistance as pre-
scented in the Lords Sermon on the Mount
has been stumbling block to many who
have been strictly literal in their inter
pretations- The attempt to heed the doc
trine Of nonresistance, and at the same
time survive in this world where forces
are everywhere antagonistic, aggressive
and militant. seems to them to be i'm
practicable.
''Self-defense and the protection Of ones
self against the injustice Of others are
not in any wise abrogated by Christ's
doctrine Of nonresistance
AT this time. when the world is on
fire with war and the spirit of war, a
true understanding OF Chrlst's doctrine
Of nonresistance is Of very practical i'm
poTtance. Our purpose as Christians is to
wage war on injustice and all forms Of
evil. And IL. in doing this, world condi-
tons and circumstances shape themselves
SO that man finds himself in the posi-
ton where it is necessary to toin his
comrades in arms on the battlefield to
make his life more effective for righteous
ness. then there is nothing whatsoever
in Christ's teaching to keep him from
going to war.
War itself Is an incident. Our BUSH
ness is to ally ourselves on the side of
right. and to array ourselves against the
side Of wrong. And II in so doing We
should be drawn by circumstances into a
war between nations, we would be per-
fectly justified in lighting bravely and
herOically. Shortly before His crucifixion
Christ called His disciples together, and
after commenting upon what he had pre-
viOusly said about the sword, told them
that now He that hath no sword, let him
sell his garment and buy one
When this doctrine OF nonresistance is
properly understood, much Of the weak
and irrational-CertainIy irrellgious-talk
concerning the wickedness of national
preparedness will stop. There is wick
CdncSs in much Of this supposedly reli-
giOus talk. Our nation should assume an
attitude toward injustice and toward the
evils Of the world as manly and as
heroic as the Christians attitude to-
ward the evil elements in his own char
acter. As individuals, we fight for prin-
Ciples. and as a nation It Is as right to
defend principle as territory

ANGLOPHOBIA

Editor of The Washington Herald: The
Washington Anglophobe has ana editorial
this morning Sunday entitled British
Myth Exposed" in which ii attempts to
saddle on the British press, and, indeed,
on Great Britain itself, a STORY" told
in the London Daily Mail because Of IAN
official announcement from Berlin that
the Daily Mail correspondent never ex-
isted' and that the whole report was a
'swindle.'" lone of the most impressive
features Of the story" says the Anglo
phobe, was the description of the Kaiser
as white-haired and weary-looking." But
there was nothing new or strange in
that. Indeed, 1t is a wonder he keeps up
at all. The Anglophobe says it printed
the story (which was a description Of
the banquet given at Nish by the King
of Bulgaria to the Greman EMPEROR be-
cause Of the prominence of the Daily
Mail. Now the Anglophobe declares 1t
was deceived as well as the public, "ac-
cording to the Berlin dispatch" But the
Daily Mail has not yet been heard from;
at least the Anglophobe prints nothing
from that source in reply to the afore-
said Official announcement from Berlin.
How does Berlin know that 1.-THE cor
respondent never existed?'' Berlin" has
made many official announcements that
are known, and now admitted by Ger
many herself, to have been untrue, like
the cannon mounted on the Lusitania,
the sinking Of the British Dreadnought
Lion or Tiger in the North Sea fight, the
failure OF enlistment in Great Britain,
etc. etc, etc, and the Anglophobe itself,
In its same Sunday issue, containing the
British Myth Exposed" prints "spe-
cial cable from its own correspondent in
London, under the sensational headline.
King Fears ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS for
British Sovereign Not Appearing in Par
Lament" Curiously enough, when one
comes to read the cable he finds moth
ing in it to show that the King fears
assassina tion"-simply this, that "in some
quarters it was limited that his majesty
had been advised not to appear in public
for fear of assassination" and that at
is an open secret that King George is
constantly surrounded by a strong body
guard"
Suppose a London newspaper was to
reprint the Anglophobe's special cable"
as a fair sample of American Journalism
and announce that, therefore, 1t had lost
faith in the American press, would not

IN AFRICA WITH LECTURER.
Newman shows Views and Recounts
Some of His Experiences.

E. M. Newman concluded his 1916 series
OF traveltalks at the Belasco Theater
last evening with his very interesting
visit to Africa. The traveloguer took his
fellow-travelers first to Mombasa, ON the
west coast of Africa, whence the journey
was made several hundred miles inland
Mr.. Newman stated lat Mombasa was
the port of expectation of the thousands
Of slaves, which traffic, however, has
been entirely stopped with the coming
of the English.
Zanzibar was next visited, then the
great lake 800 miles into German East
Africa called Victoria Nyanza" With
a caravan of 100 savages, Mr.. Newman,
In stages OF fifteen miles day, traversed
Rhodesia, Transvaal. and the Orange
River colony.
Victoria Falls furnished an opportunity
for the display of remarkably beautiful
views, many of them gotten by the
daring exploit of the lecturer in having
himself let down by a rope fifty or sixty
feet into the canyon. The greatness of
Victoria Falls may be realized, the
speaker stated, when it Is known that
they are twice as wide as Niagara and
have sheer drop twice as high.

War Stricken Serbia $ Cry for
Aid Meets Generous Response
When Echoed at Belasco Meeting
Serb Diplomat Tale Of Nation Grim Herosm and Descrp
ton by Emmeline Pankhurst Of Suferings Of Women
in Exile Open Purse Strings.

Quite recently there has been published
In the American newspapers a photograph
of King Peter, of Serbia, riding into exile
on a farmers wagon, drawn by oxen His
crown, his palaces, his lands, his army
and the once powerful sway over his
kingdom are gone. He is a broken. aged
man. as he sits on that wagon, looking
with eyes. from which tears must be
falling, into the abysmal distances Of the
future.
This picture must have come back to
many who yesterday heard the addresses
at the Belasco Theater in behalf Of the
suffering people of that country which
has now passed into possession of the
Austrian throne. His excellency Cheddo
Miyatovich. former Serbian secretary of
state for foreign affairs and minister to
the Court Of st. James: Mrs. Emmeline
Pankhurst. foremost British surrragette,
and Capt Seferovich. Montenegro consul
general to New York City, pleaded for
and obtained the aid of their audience
for that stricken people. In collections
and pledges 81 400 was received.
Mr.. Miyatovich told of the history and
aspirations OF the Serbs; how they have
fought the Turks through five centuries;
how they were dragged into this war be-
cause Serbian-born boy, who was a
citizen of Austria, slew the crown prince
and princess OF the Austro- Hunga rians;
how they had defeated the Austrians in
three former wars, but were forced to
give up their country when the Germans,
Bulgarians and Austrians combined in an
attack upon them.
We have done our duty to ourselves
and Christianity" said he. I'VE prefer
poverty and suffering In the knowledge
that We have done the right to wealth
and ease and under the rule and domi-
nance Of the Turks and Islam. We need
peace, but are willing to risk the dan
gers of extinction rather than bend our
knees to the Turks and the Kaiser.
1--WE do not blame the allies for our
loss, because we realize they could not
help US in time. We lost our territory,
but we have not lost our faith in the
power of the allies and the supreme
omnipotence OF God. We need peace and

feel that this will come through the
power of the allies ultimately to force
all of Europe into a union of lands over
which will not wave the spectre Of
strife"
Mrs. Pankhurst Pleads for Aid.
Mrs. Pankhurst reviewed the part
which women are playing In this war
and stated that they have banded to-
gether in an industrial army which is
doing the work of the men while those
men are in the trenches. She said:
II want the men In this audience to
imagine for a moment their own wives
and children and parents in the position
Of the Serbian women, children and old
people. They have been driven from their
homes into an exile which necessltates
their walking for sixty days over the
wild mountains in zero weather. Many
of them die In that march In which they
are blown like chaff In a windstorm,
fearing both their enemies behind them
and the lawless bands which inhabit
those mountains. The marvel is that
any of them have lived to reach Albania
or the Island of Corsica
Your physicians went to that coun-
try and cured the typhus plague. Just
as soon as this was done. the Serbians'
enemies Joined in their attack upon
that people. Things are worse than
when you sent physicians there, be-
cause now the people are scattered and
have no place to rest their heads.
The greatest justification for your
American neutrality is that you may
go on doing what you can for the suf-
ferings of this war. The Serbians
need your help more than the Belgians
do. Serbia would give up her life
rather than her ideas of justice and her
allies"
Capt. Seferovich made the closing
address of the afternoon and asserted
that the Montenegrin army had not sur
rendered. but had only retired to Al
bania. where it would continue its
fighting.
Rev. DIR. John Van Schaick, jr., pre-
sided. Mrs. Toula, OF Baltimore, sang
several Slavonic folk songs at the be-
ginning of the program and ended it
with solo in English.
