GERMANY BLAMED BY
 DEPUTY FOR BIG WAR

Cohn Howled Down in Reichstag for
 Attack on Soldiers
 Forced to Loan Money.
 Amsterdam, Via. London, May 1s.- In the course of the budget debate in the Reichstag on Wednesday,, Deputy Voghtern. socialist, attacked the gov ernment for questionable methods in propaganda4 in tho war loan. He said that soldiers in the field had been forced to subscribe and that similar pressure had been exerted on CO., operative societies,
 Herr Voghtern added that the se- curity of the investment and the rate of interest had been rendered doubt full by an article in the Tages Zeitung. which said: Assurances by the gov- ernment can only be given in the ex- pectation of large war indemnity"
 The deputy asked for an assurance that the interest would not be reduced. Tn reply the finance minister pro- tested against Herr Vogthern's state ments and assured him that sub scribers would be safeguarded. He ex- pressed his conviction that the sub- scriptions of the soldiers were volun- tary.
 Deputy Cohn, socialist, said that all military writers had counted, even be- fore the war, on g. starvation cam paign by Great Britain and that it was therefore hypocritical to act as if Ger many was surprised by these tactics. The president here called Deputy Cohn to order but the deputy con- tinued: Granted that England did proclaim a war of starvation, right must remain right. Before the war never imagined we should be driven to war by Germany's fault
 Amid a violent uproar Deputy Cohn was again called to order.

 Market to Continue Serene.


 Be Equipped Until .Then-Labor
 Market to Continue Serene.
 :. Washington, May 18.-The first 300, ,OQO men under the selective draft army bill, which is ready for the presidents signature, will not be called out until September 1. Owing to lack of supplies to equip those drafted, Mir. Baker, secretary of war. believes 1t would .".not be practicable" to call out the troops until that time.
 In a letter written to Senator Jones. of Washington, MT. Baker explains that the labor supply of the country will not be interfered with until that date as result.
 Senator Jones had written to MT. Baker urging the use of drafted sol- diers in the fields to help in the com ing harvest.
 Mr. Baker, replied that such 8 step could not be taken because the men will have training tat the best all too short" before they are sent to the European battle fronts.
 His letter to Senator Jones follows:
 ''The matter of obtaining labor dur ing the harvest season Is 8 very im- portant one and Is now receiving very eanest consideration by all the depart ments of the government. Owing to the depleted state of our supplies 1t will not be practicable to call out the first five hundred thousand under the provisions of the act now under con- sideration by congress until about September 1, so there will be no ap- ,preciable interference with the labor supply of the country until that date. When these men are called they, will have to be continuously trained with the colors until they are sent abroad. As the period of training before they are sent abroad will be at the best all too short, in justice to the men 1t must be intensive and continuous. For this reason I do not think 1t would be practicable, at least this year. to furnish soldiers for the pur- poses suggested"

PROTESTANT CHURCH 400
YEARS OLD WEDNESDAY

Wednesday marked the 400th ami.
versary of the founding of the Pro.
testant church." remarked Arthur z.
Larimer. executive secretary of the
Young Mems Christian Association, to.
day. "On October 81, 1917, Martin
Luther tackled his thesis, protesting
against the practises in the then estab.
Iished church on the door of the Uni
versity of Wittenburg Out of this
act grew the separation from the Ro.
man Catholic church a certain group
which followed the teachings of Christ
as interpreted by Luther, a group that
has since been separated into some.
thing like 90 distinct sects, all calling
themselves Protestants."
The term Protestant" had its first
application made to any group or body
of men on April 10, 1929; when, at the
second council of Spires, it was ap
piled to the adherents of Luther who
had protested against the Roman
Catholic church. -

LECTURES ARE
VERY POPULAR

Dir. j. II. williams teok up Thursday
morning "The Tenderness of Jesus
The speaker defined tenderness as
Strength and power bending to the
needs of the weak and helpless.
In further illustration Doctor Wiz
iiams said, in part:
The most perfect example, of ten
derness is God bending to the needs
of humanity. Like as father pilieth
his children. II we were asked to Sc
Iect an animal which would tynibit
the quality of tenderness we would
not choose a kitten or the cooling
dove. but rather such an animal as
the lion, mighty in, strength as we'll
as kindness. In the same way, asked
to find an individual exempi1fying this
trait it would not be a weak man
chosen. but some one like Robert
Browning in his devotion to Eliza
beth Barrett, Gladstone in his love FOR
Catherine Glynn. One of the pictures
We have of Walt Whitman IS his sit
ting by the bedside of wounded sol
diers during the civil war, feeding
them from spoon. So Jesus, whose
manliness is often spoken of, gives
us the supreme example of human
tenderness. He calls himself the
Good Shepherd, a shepherd who does
not flee when the wolves attack the
flock What contrast between the
philosophy Of Nietzche and Jesus.
Jesus shows his tenderness in his at.
