PRAYER FOR POWER TO
SECURE PERMANENT PEACE
Last Sunday Was Day of
Prayer All Over Country For
Success Of Our Arms.

The United States Senate by unani-
nous vote, resolved that Sunday last
should be set aside as day of prayer to
Almighty God from this Christian nation
to give strength to or arms "a our just
war and to bring us permanent peace on
the basis of righteousness in His own good
time. The House of Representatives, aft
er some debate as to whether this nation
was or was not Christian nation, agreed
that it was, and concurred in the reSolu-
ton proclaimiGg day of prayer.
Sunday was celebrated over the land
by deyout people. In city and on farms,
in army and navy--broken hearts, cour-
ageous hearts, yearRing hearts united
in an appeal to the Final Arbiter of every
cause. The content OF every prayer was
"Oh. send us Peace in Thy time, O.
Lord
Prayers were promulgated by various
religious bodies and some printed pray
ers were scattered broadcast by individu-
ais. AS might be expected, one of the
most original, the most unique. is that
of Billy Sunday, coming next week for
a series of meetings in Atlanta. The
Associated Press has given it wide pub
licity. We give it in full:
Almighty Cod our Heavenly Father
we pray Thee that war may continue I'm
til Prussian militarism is swept off tlIt
face of the earth until the snake of au
tocracy is crushed forever, until democ-
racy is unshackled, until justice has a fan
show, until the virtue of woman is sure o.
protection until little children no l0nge'
go hungry until the Kaiser and his CO.
harts have unpacl1ed their trunks on ST
Helena's barren rocks.
And in the meantime, give each one q
us the fighting spirit that led the crusad
ers to victory. II we do not fight with on;
hands in the trenches, help us to fighi

to deliver shipbuilding and other ma ter1al at reasonable prices. James A. Farrell, president of the United States Steel Corporation, conferred With MT. Daniels yesterday. The agreement will be on a straight basis without reference to the average price for the past 10 years, as in the case of the copper producers.
 An organization known as the Com nittee of Friends of Russia announc- ed yesterday that an emergency meas ure will be introduced in Congress authorizing gift to the Russian government of 100000 Krag-Joergen- sen rifles now stored in government arsenals.
 Where Money Will Go.
 Approximately one-half of the $3,- 900, 100000 asked for by the War De- partment will be spent on pay and quartermasters' supplies, which in cludes the cost of building the can comments. Other heavy items are $5OO,OO, 900 for ordnance, $6O,000,00O for the Signal Corps and aviation equipment, $146,00,00 for engineer equipment and field works and $26,- %, 900 for medical stores. An army of 1000, 900 men, paid on the American scale, will require about 0,OO0,0O0.
 Wide latitude has been left to the President in the selection of generals under the staff plan. They may be appointed from any part of the forces to be raised or from civil life. Up to and including the grade of colonel, however, it is desired by the military officials that men who have had re- cent experience in handling troops shall be selected.
 With 32 infantry and four cavalry divisions to be organized, there would be at least 36 major-generals and three times that number of brigadiers to be selected and commissioned, with colonels and majors in proportion.
 Although both Major-Gen. Hugh L.. Scott, Chief of Staff, and Major-en. Tasker H. Bliss, assistant, are sched- uled to retire for age within a few month1 there is reason to believe that they will continue in their present posts for some time after they have reached the age limit.
 In case Gen. Scott should retire, the proba ability that either Major-Gen. Pershing or Brig. General Joseph E.. Kuhn, now president of the Army War College, will succeed him.
 The House Comittee on Military Affairs will meet today to take up the General Staff Bill. Secretary of War Baker VII explain the measure. Chairman Dent is opposed to con- scription, he said yesterday, but will be willing to yield some of his per- sona1 convictions when conscription becomes absolutely necessary for the national defense.

Board OF Education. today expressed
his thanks to the washingtonians
who have contributed their share
toward the $1,000 fund for the educa-
ton Of tuberculosis children ex-
cluded. from the Washington public
schools.
The plea to Washingtonians was
sent out recently by the Rev. John J.
Van schaick. Jr.. president OF the
Board OF Education. He asked for
contributions toward a fund of $1,000
he INTENDED to- use In the establish
ment Of two schools. one for the coll
ored and one for the white children OF
the District who have been excluded
from the public schools -on account
of their tubercular condition.
Transportation to and from the
classes also will be furnished for the
children. together with the warm
clothing aid nourishing food neces-
saFy.
DR.. Van Schaick expressed the hope
that should the citizens of Washing
ton furnish the children they have
excluded from the schools with an
education this year. Congress might
be prevailed upon to appropriate the
necessary amount for their education
hereafter.
These children must not be saved
physically and neglected mentally"

and we owe them an education"
