Accordingly, az representatives of a great church. We protest to our president against a policy which permits millions of tons of coal to be consumed by breWeries, when thousands of our people aad many legitimate industries are suffer ing from lack of coal We register our protest against the use of thou sands of cars to ship coal and liquor in by breweries, while millions Of people and thousands of industries are suffering because they cannot get ears to ship the necessities of human and industrial life. While We record our wfole-hearted approval Of the or der driving liquor and bad women from army camps in America. We call npon our president to give our sold- ters in France the same protection against these evils. To our great president, in whom American democ. racy has lodged supreme power in this crises, and who has hitherto in his official utteranee and acts reflect ed the best Christian conscience of America, we confidently appeal to square American conduct in the mat ters named above with the dictates of humanity and the ethics of Christian- ity."
