tor Twining's Office on Saturday after

Proofs of the revision were returned
TO Director Twining today and he and
Doctor Lewis made some minor correc-
tions this afternoon. When this Is fin
ished the lease will be handed to Mayor

that he will not make any changes In II
because he has left the matter OF max
ing a lease entirely in the hands of the
Director of Transit and Doctor Lewis.

the further advance of r. r. T. pei

WOULD KILL GERMANS
TO SAVE THEIR SOULS
Methodist Preacher Urge S
Ruthless Love and Inexor-
able Pity as War Spirit
TO BE RID OF FAULTS
Three Evils Will Be Eliminated as
= Result of Great
Conflict

An unusually fiery philosophy was
voiced by the Rev. Philip Osgood. of the
Church of the Mediator, Fifty-first and
Spruce streets. today before the Metho-
dist Preachers Association. when he
advocated the saving of the German soul
by the killing off of the Germans.
our principal agony said Mr.. Os-
good. should be over the fact that such
an anti-Christian thing as the Metz
sche an philosophy has gained any fol-
lowing in this world
Mr. Ospood said that our attitude to-
ward the Germans should be of ruthless
love and inexorabIe pity and that every
bullet and every hit of shrapnel should
lie hurled in this spirit.
The preachers heartily applauded Mr.
Osgood's sneech after he had finished
and four OF them paid n tribute TO his
Christianity.
