Two Washington pastors today are
on record a. fayoring the continue

peace move launched by the Pope.
The Rev. D. H. Martin, in q stir

democracy that the world has ever
known, and his war message and his
reply to the Pope are documents that
will live with the Declaration Of In
dependence and Lineolns Gettysburg
address.
The President marching at the
head OF the draft parade is . chaI-
lenge to every patriot to do his duty.
This parade will tell the world that
America Is in earnest, and that we
intend to fight until the last trace
Of Kaiserism II wiped from the face
of the earth"
Germany has broken every rule of
the law Of love-" said the Rev. DR..
Albert Cook At the Capitol Heights

threatens US. But we are doing more.
We are fighting for our souls-for
our right to be called men,"
