The crowd spread apart and al

remarks. Weber shook his finger in
the mayors face and called him a
vile name. Mayor Vandersluis'
frame fairly quivered with rage and
he struck Weber in the face. Weber
retaliated but his blow did not land

mayor threw Weber to the floor of

Notable Manifesto Issued to
Show That Teuton 0utrages
Not Yet Settled For

Much attention has been attracted
in Honolulu by a recent manifesto
published by the Outlook and signed
by a large number of ministers and
prominent laynen OF the states. de.
claring against peace in Europe until
some of the pressing issues have been
thoroughly settled The signers of
the manifesto are all religious leaders.
The declaration and some of the
representative signers are as follows:
When war drencnes Europe in
blood, it is natural that We Americans
should shudder at the sight. To call
upon the combatants to stop the car
mage is an impulse so strong that it
even tends to displace judgment and
distort values We are apt to forget,
at any rate for the time being, that
there are conditions under which the
mere stopping of warfare may bring
a curse instead of a blessing. We need
to be reminded that peace is the
triumph of righteousness and not the
mere sheathing of the sword. To
clamor for an ending of the present
war without insuring the Vindication
of truth, justice and honor is not to
speak peace but to SOW disaster
Because it is so easy to lose sight
of these essential principles, we, the
undersigned, view with some concern
the organized and deliberate effort
now being made so to stampede
Christian sentiment as to create a pub
lie opinion blindly favorable to stop
ping hostilities without adequate con-
SideratiCn- of the issues whcih the
war involves, . "
We are Christians, and, as such,
deem that truth and righteousness are
to be maintained inviolate, even at the
sacrifice of physical life. We are citi-
zens of the United States, and, as
such, are conscious of the solemn re-
sponsibilities Of our Christian citizen
ship. We accordingly venture to
direct the attention of our fellow
Christians to few of the vital issues
which are making their mute appeal
for final decision.
The ravages of Belgium and the ems
slavement of her people: was it right
or wrong?
The massacre of million Armen-
ians: was it a permissible precaution
or an objectionable crime?
The desolation of Servia and Po-
land: was it a regrettable necessity
or a frightful injustice?
The destruction of life through the
sinking of the Lusitania and OF other
merchant ships: was this an ordinary
incident of warfare or was it deliber-
ate and premeditated murder?
The starvation of Jews and Syrians
in the Holy Land: is this an accident
of economics or violation Of the laws
of God and man?
The attempt to array Moslems
against Christians in holy war.
was il laudable act of imperial
craftsmanship or what it the treach-
cry of Christian monarch?
The intimidation of small nations
and the violation of international
agreements: are these things excuS-

under all circumstances?
In the presence Of these pending
and as yet unsettled issues We feel
impelled to warn our brethren against
those who cry Peace, peace. when
there is no peace. The just God, who
withheld not his own Son from the
cross. would not look with favor upon
people who put their fear Of pain
and death, their dread of suffering
and loss, their concern for comfort
and ease, above the holy claims of
righteousness and justice and free.
dom and mercy and truth. Much as
we mourn the blood shed in Europe,
we lament even more that supineness
of spirit, that indifference to spiritual
value, which would let mere physical
safety take precedence Of loyalty to
truth and duty. The memory of all
the saints and martyrs cries out
against such blacksliding OF mankind,
Sad is, our lot if we have forgotten
how to die for holy cause. .r
We solemnly declare TO you our con-
viction that the question Of all ques-
tons for our immediate consideration
is this: Shall the ancient Christian
inheritance OF loyalty to great and
divine ideals be replaced by consfdera,
lions of mere expediency? .~"...
