HONOR Home GUARD
IS PASTORS APPEAL
Rev. Stewart Makes Strong Plea for
Those Standing Behind Army.

Praise the soldier, for he deserves
1t, but don't forget the stay-at-home
who makes the soldier a possibility
for a nation" said the Rev. Howard
I. Stewart, pastor of the Second Bap-
tist Church, Fourth street and Vir-
ginia avenue southeast, yesterday
morning, as the keynote to a stirring
sermon on ''The Home Guard"
The pastors definition of heroism
does not take into consideration place
or time. ''Heroism is not conditioned
by geography" he said. TOO often
we praise the general and forget the
private. laud the captain and forget
the stoker. There are as many heroes
in the byways of life as there are in
the highways" he concluded.
Rev. Mr.. Stewart took as his text
the story in I Samuel. chapter xxx
, in which the tale is told of how a
band of armed men went out from
the home city on a war of concuest
and. necessarily, left a number OF
their comrades in the city to guard II
until their return.
Weeks later the armed force return
ed with all the spoils of war. Then
when the question of division arose
they did not want to share with the
defenders of the homes. The king
however. commanded them to share
equally, for the patriotism of each

The Second Reserve Camp Begins
Training at Fort Myer Today

More than 100 picked men have as
sembled at Fort Myer to begin the
three months course of training at
the second and last officers reserve
camp which will be formally opened
this morning.
Yesterday the latest arrivals Joined
the members of the first contingent.
put their civilian clothing aside and
donned the olive drab of the army.
The candidates who made the sec
ond camp are considerably older than
the first men, and, generally speak
ing, have had more military train
ing. These men, everyone of whom
will work on the average of fourteen
hours a day in an attempt to secure
the coveted commission when the
camp ends November 26, were select
ed from three times as many appli-
cants.
The first drills will be held this
morning, and in order that the stu
dent-ofiicers may be on hand to be-
gin work fully equipped in every re-
spect, they were held in camp yes
terday so that uniforms, arms and
other equipment could be issued to
them in advance of the formal open
ing of the camp.
Col. Charles w. Fenton is again in
command of the camp. Capt. T. H.
Middleton has been named acting
adjutant in place of Maj. Babcock.
the adjutant of the first camp, who
was assigned to field duty.
Col Glasgow, who had charge of
the program of instruction at the first
camp, has been reassigned to this
work. The course of training mapped
out for the second camp is ex-
ceptionally hard. The most important
change in this respect will be in
creased attention to trench warfare.
Trenches built by the first camp
candidates will be improved by the
building of shelters. switch trenches,
dugouts and bomb-proofs.
Fifteen regular army officers have
been detailed to command provisional
regiment of student-officers They will
be assisted by twenty-five graduates
OF the first camp who have been COM
missioned as reserve officers. Two
reserve officers have been assigned
to each company as assistant, tutors.
The regiment will be organized as
nine companies of infantry and three
batteries of light and heavy artillery.
Unlike the first camp, where certain
candidates were trained as dis
mounted cavalry. there will be no
cavalry troops at the second camp
either In name or theory.

AUT0IST GIVES LIFT
TO TRAFFIC POLICE
Used Machine as Stepladder tc
Light Lamp.

Strange as it may seem, autoists &C
times show evidences of friendliness
to the traffic cops.
The genial traffic manager at Ninth
and Pennsylvania avenue yesterday
afternoon at about $50 o'clock held
up an autoist who showed lack of
knowledge of traffic laws in the Dis
trict. 1t SO happened at this time. as
it was growing dark, that this police
man had to reach the lamp perched
on top Of the umbrella, with which
the night signals are conveyed. And
he had no stepladder.
The problem was solved by the
motorist. who volunteered the use of
his car as means of ascension. And,
while gaping crowds on the Avenue
stared with open eyes and open
mouths at the wonderful example of
love for enemies, the cop reached the
red and green shaded lamp and light
ed 1t with match.

PENALTIES IN HE'LL"
OUTLINED BY PASTOR
Rev. Henry Tiffany Says Punish
ments Are Suited to Individuals.

"If a father should punish all his
children in the same way. without
taking into account the different temp
tstions to which they were subjected.
he would be guilty Of mortal error. {"
declared Rev. Henry w. Tiffany. Of
Louisville, KY, in his sermon deliv-
cred last night at the Metropolitan
Baptist Church.
Are there degrees of punishment in
hell?"Iwas the pastors text. Carry
ing out the metaphor Of a father and
his children, he declared that God in
the same way does not mete out like
penalties for transgressions TO all sin
ners, but takes into reckoning the
varying circumstances which surround
the evil act before passing judgment
A light punishment for one individual
would be a severe sentence for a per
son of another disposition. God pun
ishes sin. but not all alike" he said.
Those who possess education and
knowledge Of the right and stray from
the straight. and narrow way deserve
and get more severe penalties in hell
The measure Of future damnation
is in proportion to the number and
character Of violations Of the rule Of
duty"

Held characterizes peace suggestions
at this time as "a trap for the un-
wary"
Secretary Redheld's letter was in
reply to one Mr.. Shapiro had written
TO him stating that numerous persons
In his district were eager to know
what action they might expect from
the Washington administration con-
cerning the peace proposal from the
Vatican.
The suggestion that our country
now state candidly its terms of peace
is trap for the unwary," Mr.. Red
heid wrote. 1T is that which Ger

OF Armenia correspond to the rape of
Belgium. Autocracy has adopted
fr1ghtfulness as its watchword. and in
the name of frightfulness It murders
women and children in defenseless
towns, sinks hospital ships which
carry its own wounded, and sends
women and children to watery graves
so that 1t may have its own ruthless
way upon the seas.
Democracy Defends.
| Autocracy attacks, democracy de-
tends. No man but knows that every

autocracy was the aggressor.

President has stated the facts with
candid clearness. Our sailors, on their
| lawful errands. have been murdered;
our women and children. travelling
where they had lawful right to travel,
have been drowned.
What do We seek? We seek an
end to these things. We seek an end
such that autocracy will never again
lift Its head to threaten man. We
hope it will be such an end for this
cruel ruthlessness and hope the sys-
tenn out of which It rose and which
gives it vigor will pass away-broad-
ly. that what there needs to be done.
will be done TO remove forever this
