HOW CHURCHES IN US.
MAY HELP RENEW FRANCE
Rev. DR.. Hemmick Suggests They
Adopt Plan of Rebuilding
Houses of Worship.

That churches in America should
adopt" ruined churches in France. and
provide funds for their rebuilding after
the war is suggested in letter which
has Just been received in Washington
from Rev. DR.. W. A Hemmick, late
professor at the Catholic University of
America, and now with the American
Red Cross at Paris. DR.. Hemmick is
the only Catholic priest in the American
Red Cross at Paris. He states that he
has been shown every consideration
and given every facility by the great
relief organization, and declares that
its policy is "a broad-minded and
generous one"
Extract From His Letter

"If one of the large churches in

1T MIGHT HAVE BEEN"

Lord Robert Cecil minister of the
blockade, declared in London the ex-
istence of proof that Germany medi-
ated an attack on the United States af-
ter having Opposed of France and En-
gland. The same charge has been
made by James w. Gerard, former
ambassador from this country to the
kaiser's court. At Washington it is
said evidence which supports the as
sertion lis in the hands of the ad-
ministration."
No doubt the charge is warranted
in fact. Probably the evidence has
been in the hands of the government
officials for many months. When 1t
was decided to make war on Germany
plenty of evidence of German perfidy
was adduced and it was said only a
part of it had been made public. Our
own diplomats and secret service men
have not been asleep-as witness the
expost of the German plot to embroil
the United States with Mexico and
Japan-and besides the allies have
always been ready to turn over to our
government any evidence of unfriend-
illness on Germany's part toward this
country.
That the government knew last
fall that Germany was plotting
againstus by sending spies and dyna-
miters among us is not questioned.
1t must have known that war with
Germany was unacceptable. Yet at that
time the country was fed up on the
keep us out of war" slogan and moth
ing was done to put the nation on a
fighting basis for the conflict that
must come.
The results of this neglect-which
did not escape the press OF the cOun-
try-are beginning to appear. Work
on the cantonments, which are being
built at a huge cost, has been delay
ed, and the task of equipping the SOL
diers for service has necessarily been
slow. At advanced prices we are striv-
ing to build ships to construct air
planes, to secure artillery and shells,
to lay in a supply of things which war
needs and which we might have pro-
vided long ago, and at a saving of
millions, If those in authority had
been honest with themselves and with
the country. The cry for prepared
ness before the war came, was not
needed and now we are paying for
our Fabian policy with compound in
terest.
OF course, we shall furnish vast
army, if one is needed, and provide
the other sinews Of warfare which
will insure victory for the allies. That
is our chief business now and 1t Is
better late than never. 1t Is unfortun-
ate, however, that we have not been
as forehanded as the demands of the
times require.

JAPAN's PART IN THE WAR

In an address before the united
States senate recently Viscount Ishii,,
head of a commission sent by the mi
kado's government to this country
with a message of good will and amity
with the instructions to ascertain in
what way Japan can best cooperate
with America in the prosecution of
the war, reiterated Japan's purpose
to remain in the struggle until Ger
many is defeated.
Taken as an answer to Germany's
attempt to array Mexico and Japan
against the United States-a plot
Matched before we entered the war
this message must have a hooking
sound to the ear of Zimmerman, au-
thor of the conspiracy.
I'VE of Japan took up arms against
Germany because a solemn treaty was
not to us scrap of paper, -. said
the Mikado's envoy."We did not en-
ter this war because we had any sell
fish interest to promote or any i'll
conceived ambition to crafty. We are
in the war, insist on being In 1t, and
we shall stay in it because earnestly,
as a nation and as individuals we be-
lieve in the Righteousness of the
cause for which we stand, because
we believe that only by complete
victory for that cause can there be
made a righteous, honorable and per-
manent peace"
Critics of Japan are disposed to
wonder why that power is not TAX
ing a more active part in the war
Since the taking of the German ISL
ands in the South Seas and the cap
ture of Kiao-Chau, Nippon has done
comparatively little and this fact is
a source of mystery to many obser-
ververs Of the war.
The reason for this situation is
diplomatic secret, but the reasonable
assumption is that Japan has not sent
men to the European trenches because
she has not been invited to do So
and with America in the contest Is
not likely to be invited. Germany Is
watching the concentration of force
of brown men in Manchuria and
seems to think that the transfer of
Japanese soldiers to the Russian front
is not an improbable development of
the future. No doubt this will depend
upon the developments in Russia.
The Muscovite army is sufficient in
numbers but lack discipline, organ
ization and equipment. If they rally
Japanese will never be sent to any
European front; if they do not
But Japan is active at sea and has
a force of destrOyers in the Mediter-
ranean If not in northern Europe in
search of U-bOats. The part her navy
is playing in the anti-submarine cam
paign is something of an unknown
quantity, but two of three official an
nouncefnents have come from Eu-
ropean capitals regarding the partici-
patton of European squadrons. Obvi-
ously as showing that the Oriental
ally is not entirely out of the war.
Japan is ready no doubt to accept
any suggestion of the entente for a
more vigorous participation, and we
do not believe any blame should at
tach to the Toxic governments-as
has been insinuated in this country
for the minor role it has enacted.
1t is better to have a passive ally than
an open enemy, particularly if that
ally stands ready to cooperate, as
Japan apparently is willing to do.
