PEACE MUST BE BASED UPON
EQUALITY OF RIGHTS,

The equality OF nations upon

rights; the guarantees exchanged
must neither recognize nor imply Il

"Right must be based upon the

But no one asks or expects any
thing more than an equality of
rights. Mankind is looking now for
freedom OF life, not for equipoises ot

And there IL deeper thing In

QUESTION ON WHICH FUTURE

The question upon which tho

the world depends is thisi Is

Fortunately we have received very
explicit assurances on this point. The
statesmen OF both OF the groups OF
nations now arrayod against one an
other have said, In terms that could
not be misinterpreted. that II was no
part OF the purpose they had In mind
to crush their antagonists. But the

SPEAKS FOR A FREE AND INpE.
PENDENT POLAND.
~ take It for granted, for in
stance, II | may venture upon a
single example, that statesmen
everywhere are agreed that there
should be united, independent and
autonomous Poland, and that
hencetorth inviolable security Of
life, OF worship and of industrial
and social development should be
guaranteed to all peoples who have
lived hitherto under the power OF
governments devoted to a faith
and purpose hostile to their own.
Il speak OF this. not because of any
desire TO exalt an abstract political
which has always been held
very dear by those who have sought
TO build up liberty in America, but Tor
the same reason that l have spoken
OF the other conditions Of peace
which seem to me clearly indispensa-
/ wish frankly 10 un-
cover realities. ANY peace which does
not recognize and accept this prin-
ciple will inevitably he upset. 1t will
not rest upon the affections or the
convictions OF mankind. The ferment
OF spirit of whole populations will
hight subtly and constantly against
1t. and all the world will sympathlze.
The world can be at peace only II its
lie Is stable, and there can be no
stability where the will is in re-
bellion. where there Is not tranquility
of spirit and n sense Of justice, Of
freedom and of right.
so Tar as practicable, more
over, every great people now
struggling toward a full develop
ment OF its resources and Of its
powers should be assured a direct
outlet to the great highways of
the sea. Where this cannot be
done by the cession Of territory
II can no doubt be done by tho
naturalization OF direct rights Of
way under the general guarantee
which will assure the peace itself.
With right comfy of arranue-
ment no nation need be shut away
from free access to the open
paths Of the worlds commerce..
And the paths of the sea must
alike In law and In fact be free. The
freedom OF the seas is the sine qua
non or peace, equality and co-opera-
tion. NO doubt somewhat radical
OF many of the rules
or international practice hitherto
thought to be established may be
necessary In order to make the seas
indeed, free, and common in practi-
cally all circumstances. for the use of
mankind. but the motive for such
changes is convincing and compelling.
There can be no trust or intimacy be-
tween the peoples OF the world with
out them. The free, constant, un-
threatened Intercourse OF nations is
an essential part OF the process of
peace and development. IL need not
be difficult either 10 define or TO Sc
cure the freedom of the seas II the
governments of the world sincerely
desire to come 10 an agreement con-
corning IL.

BUSY MEETING
WILL BE HELD
Negro Protective Association
to Instruct Southern
Men in Voting

The hall of the colored Knights
of Pythias will be the scene of an
important meeting of the Negro
Protective Association this evening.
All the colored men of this city who
are entitled to vote was asked to be
present at o'clock in order that
the meeting might start on scheduled
time.
The meeting will be of importance
from the fact that the Association
1hich was formed some time ago by
the leading colored citizens of this
city has for its aim the political in
dependence of the negro.
The influx of the Southern. negro
is the cause of the speedy work on
the part of the Association as many
of these men have never before been
able to vote. These men are es-
pecially invited to be present and to
become affiliated with the associa-
ton.
The aim of the association extends
beyond politics, however, and this
evening efforts will be made to make
the meeting socially interesting.
The officers of the association are
President P. c. Moore; Vice-presi-
dent, w. E. Coles; secretary, DR.. A.
L. Marshall; assistant secretary,
Marshall Kocklin; treasurer, George
Potts. An executive committee will
be elected this evening.

The Rev. Harry Nelson Bassler,
chaplain of the Eighth Regiment
National Guard, of Pennsylvania,
which leaves for Georgia this even

Reformed Church yesterday. At
both services he referred to the

at the morning service spoke of the
call to service among the soldiers
as the greatest that could come to
him. He thanked God that he was
able to take up the work
Voice Breaks
1t was during the reading of the
23d Psalm that his voice, breaking
under the thought of parting with
his people, showed the depth of his
feeling in taking leave of them.
Again. at the evening service, dur
ing his sermon as he told of his
effort, in the fourteen years of his
pastorate, to do a kind deed every
day, his voice broke and it was
apparent that his words, which he
did not desire to be a farewell he
said, were moving his people to
tears. In his parting message the

OFFER PRAYER
FOR SCHOOLS
Ministers of City Plead For
More Extensive Use
of Bible

Yesterday was the National Day
of Prayer for Public Schools and was
observed by Harrisburg ministers
with special sermons. DIR. William N.
Yates, pastor of the Fourth Street
Church of God, and a former mem
Der of the Harrisburg School Board,
stated in his sermon yesterday morn
ing that. THE biggest need of Har-
risburg as a city is men with back
bone enough to do and stand by the
right, regardless of the threats OF
the political bosses and rings; men
who would rather see political
party broken to pieces than to back
down on a question that is right"
At his evening service DR.. Yates
preached powerful sermon against
the liquor traffic and it's supporters
using for his subject, Worse Than
Germany"
Schools Responsible

children as well as the intellectual
development. He based his argu
ments on the literary value of the
Bible, it's moral authority, and it!
religious authority.

LAST SERMON AT HIS CHURCH

Soldiers Need Him More Than Congregation;
ii Years Pastor of Second Reformed

and the architectural beauty of our
houses of worship to attract the
people. Believe me, dear friends,
the most effective way to work for
Christ is to tell the story of his
love and saving power in simple
fashion so that all may understand.
When in the years to come other
voices are heard in this pulpit, may
1T be- said that all we have uttered
concerning Jesus in these fourteen
years was true. In order to further
the kingdom it is not necessary that
our field be large, nor is 1t to be
expected that the effects of our SER
mons. and service will Immediately
be known" In concluding the
preacher referred to the epitaph on
the tombstone of a factory girl in
tho city of Glasgow, who had borne
testimony as Sunday school
teacher to the saving power of
Christ: "She performed no miracle,
but through her words others be-
lieved on Jesus" There was special
music at both services by the choir
under the leadership of Chorister
George T. Huffman. At the morning
service the choir sang Break
Forth Into Joy," by Greenish and
In the evening. "I Will Praise Thy
Name, o Lord" by Solly. At the
close of the evening service many
of the large congregation waited to
say good-by to Pastor Bassler, who
leaves with the Eighth Regiment for
Camp Hancock this evening.
Advises New Pastor
Next Sunday the pulpit will be
filled by the Rev. DR.. H. NJ. j.
Klein, of the Theological Seminary
at Lancaster. The Rev. Mr.. Bassler
advised his congregation to choose
a pastor and continue activity in it's
work in all departments of church
activity.

MISSION ASSISTS
DOWN-AND-OUTS
James w. Barker Tells Rotar-
ians Those Bethesda Helped
Earned $4,000 in One Month !,

Members of the Harrisburg Rotary
Club heard the Bethesda Mission
campaign explained at luncheon to-
day by James w. Barker, member
of the club and prominently identi-
fed with the mission since its foun-
dation.
THE material worth of this mis-
sion," said Mr.. Barker. ''is well IL
lustrated by the work it has done in
putting men and women on their
feet. The down and cutters re-
port to the mission shows that dur
ing one month alone these persons.
now self-respecting residents of
Harrisburg, earned a total of $500.
When it is remembered that they
were penniless, homeless and Il
charge on the community when the
mission took tham in hand, the
benefits of the mission to the COM
munity may be well realized This
aside from. the inestimable benefit
to the individuals themselves and
to the community in a moral and
spiritual way"
Mr.. Barker said the mission is in
sore need of funds, the fact that
work is plentiful having no great
effect on the number who find them
selves in misfortune and temporar-
lily in need of assistance.
Plan Outlined
At the meeting of /le club to-day
the Rotarians made plans for the
outing at PaXtang on Wednesday,,
when Lancaster, Reading and York
clubs will be here to participate in
outing events. Luncheon will be
served at the park at 5 o'clock
The club is also making prepara-
tions to take the Rotary women on
an afternoons automobile trip with
dinner in the evening. The club
turned out this afternoon in the
farewell parade.
Next Tuesday evening the Rota-
rians will meet at the Harrisburg
Public Library to hear State
Librarian Thomas Lynch Montgom-
cry speak on the campaign to equip
soldiers camps with books. The
! club will lend its aid to this effort.
