Military authorities denied the re-

that a fight might have taken place be-

suit of the killing of six Mexicans last
Sunday by two cowboys on the ranch

Gently in the state of Zacatecas on a
charge of conspiracy against the gov
eminent, will be tried by court martial
under the law of 1862, which provides
the death penalty for sedition. The
government authorities here say the
men will be given every opportunity to
prove their innocence.
1t is alleged that the prelates. who
had been in the United States for two
years, on returning to Mexico in
December furnished financial aid to
Villas followers. 1t is stated that when
the government troops re-captured the
village of Monte Escobedo they found
the prelates among the bandits taken
prisoners.
Some of the most prominent attor-
news in Mexico have been retained to
defend the archbishop and bishop.
They will leave for Zacatecas tomor-
row. The trial is set for next week.

national honor is at stake swept New
York's churches yesterday. Virtually

A reference TO Theodore Roosevelt IN
Dr.. Newell Dwight Hillis's sermon on
"Why We Should Go to War with Ger
many" brought the congregation to its

Partly the impetus for all this came
from the action Of the New York
Federation Of Churches, announced for
the first time yesterday, in mobilizing
its Christian strength behind President
Wilson. pledging to him "all the SER
vice Of which we severally and col
lectively arc capable" and coming out
for the immediate establishment of

"If any honest doubt exists respect

Burden Rests on All,
Not Guardsmen Alone

"Fourth-That while all should stand
ready TO volunteer, If voluntary ser
vice is called for, yet Congress IN pro-
viding for our common safety should
not adopt emergency measures merely,
but should definitely recognize the
principle that the duty OF defending
the nation rests equally upon all citi-
zcns capable of service. To the END,
therefore. that the burden OF safe
guarding the country should no longer
be cast exclusively upon the loyal Ma
tional Guard and upon other patriotic
military and naval volunteers, Con
eress should be urged TO exercise its
constitutional power TO raise and sup
port armies by establishing immedi-
ately "A permanent and democratic sys-
tenn Of defence based upon universal
service and training under direct and
exclusive Federal control"

First u. S. Merchantmen
to Start Soon for Re-
stricted Area
Within Ten Days
Fate Will Be Known
Safe Arrival to Mean Only
Postponement of Battle
with U-Boat

Washington, March 1.-The
work Of arming American merchant
ships for defence begun, the situa-
tion passes into new period OF
waiting. Within a few days at most
the first of these armed vessels will
sail for the restricted area. Within
ten days thereafter the first news
of that vessel will be known TO the
public.
That news may be the arrival at a
British port, with or without having
encountered a German submarine.
Or it may be the intelligence that
the vessel has been sunk.
In an encounter with a submarine
the odds are in favor of the merchant
man with her powerful gun. and 1t
may mean disaster to the submarine.
But if the first vessel arrives without
incident in a British port it will mean
simply that other American vessels
similarly armed will go over the same
route The period Of waiting will be
prolonged and inevitably something
will happen.
Whether an American merchantmen
or a German submarine suffers first,
the result will be the same. From the
point of view of Germany at least, war
will exist from that day, and opera
tions of submarines from that day will
be strictly on a war basis.
From the official American point o:
view-which will stand on the last
technicality that affords footing wal
probably will not exist until Congress-
or Germany declares it. Germany, Il
is asserted, will net do so, and there is
little promise that Congress will unless
the Executive demands it,

Americans Are Following
Example Of Christ

"But Christ" he concluded. was not
always man of peace in the sense OF
being a pacifst. Our extreme paciists
are going further than He went. ] feel
sure the majority of the American peo-
pie, in their stand behind President
Wilson, are following the example of
Christ"
Another who struck the note OF war
was the Rev. DR.. Winslow Adams,
preaching in st. Andrews Episcopal
Church. in West Seventy-sixth Street:
"Just now we Americans should be
realizing our kinship to those who are
fighting in Europe" he said. Paul
Revere was a French immigrant. The
designer Of Faneuil Hall was the son
Of a Frenchman. The man who de-
signed the Lincoln head on our pennies
was a Russian"
One Of the biggest demonstrations
was that which greeted DR.. Charles Au-
brey Eaton's words in the Madison Ave

and Thirty-frst Street.
1--WE Americans arc now i'm a period
fraught with the greatest danger said
Dr. Eaton. "This time is the crucial
test of our prosperity. peace and appar-
ent security. Some people are afraid

ofTeminacy and living in a moral
vacuum. Our churches have been teach

"The neutrality which we so triumph

DR.. Herbert Shpman, rector Of the

In his sermon.
"In the meanwhile eleven Senators
have been able to thwart the will Of
the nation, the flags flap idly on our
ships tied up in port at the behest OF
Germany and the country is not at
present fulfilling its full purpose" CON
tinued the rector.
DR.. Shipman said that in his opinion
the present war was clearing the way
for a broader and truer Christianity
instead Of being It's death knell.

Declaration Adopted
By Three-to-One Vote

The declaration. adopted by vote of
more than three TO one in referen-
dun to the churches Of the city, is as
follows:
after exhausting the resources OF
diplomacy in an effort TO avert war;
the President has now taken the only
course consistent with national self
respect.
"War with Germany will not ensue
unless the Imperial German govern
ment knowingly violates well settled
principles Of international law ana
violates them with intent definitely
hostile TO the United States. In that
event war will inevitably follow. not
by our own act, but through the de-
liberate aggression Of another nation.

Other Bodies Asked
To Join with Federation

eve urge all such groups of citizens,
secular and religious. large and small,
societies, clubs and institutions OF
every sort, to unite with US in giving
immediate public expression to such
convictions as those which we now SOL
emnly record:
"First-That the act of the Execu-
tive in severing diplomatic relations
with Germany IS one to be approved
and commended by all who have the
best interests of the United States at
heart.
Second That the German declara-
ton of January 81. 1917, represents an
uniustifed and unIustifiable attempt to
DESTROY the freedom of the sea and to
abridce the commercial liberty guaran-
teed to us by established law and Gus
tom; and that if the government OF the
United States were to acquiesce there
in such action would be resented by all
GOOD citizens as in the highest degree
nusillanimous and as altogether incon-
sistent with the spirit and traditions of
free people.
"Third-That the President will be
justified in recommending TO Congress
the most extreme measures that may be
deemed necessary to protect life, lib
erty and property; and that it is our
dutv and that of all loyal citizens TO
tender Immediately to the government
all the service Of which we seyerally
and collectively are capable.

Will Consider Plan for General
Labor Mobilization

fF-om A star Correspondent OF The Tribunel
Washington, March 1.-THE attitude
of American organized labor toward
the social principles involved when a
democracy goes to war is in process OF
crvstallization. Representatives Of
every important labor union in the
United States will meet here to-mor-
row morning in conference to de-
termine means whereby the American
workingman can best do his part IN
the general scheme OF national pre-
naredness. Organizations represented
will include the 10S unions affiliated
with the American Federation Of Labor
and the four railway brotherhoods. The
CONSERVATIVES in most cases will be
the union presidents.
The executive council of the Fedora
,ion held long session tonight, Civ
ing final consideration 10 recommenda-

entire field of labor preparedness and
il was indicated, are based entirely on
the voluntary principle. II true, this
means that the conference will veto

nlan the men would be paid small
sum during peace times and would re-
main at their regular trades, but dur
ing crisis they would be subject TO
compulsory service in munltion fac
tories. shi ipbuilding yards and other
military plants. -,
Labor leaders seem to favor the idea,
but object strenuously 20 the eompul-
sorry feature. They insist that re-
sponse to the call should be entirely
voluntary. and declare this would give
even better results than the compul- .
sorry system because OF the spirit
