OF PACIFISTS At

MONTREAL, Sept 2T.-Led BY
former President William II. Taft the
general conference of Unitarian and
other Christian churches repudiated
pactfist doctrines by a vote of 236 to ..
Mr.. Taft in a ringing speech ap-
proved Presidents Wilson's action in
declaring war on Germany, and he
asserted the war must be carried to
q successful conclusion"
Peace at this time. according to Mr.
Taft, would mean the waste of mil
lions of lives, as well as the mort
GRAFTON, even though it was proposed
by the pontiff of one OF the greatest
Christian churches. Among other
things the resolutions passed by the
conference set forth:
1t is the opinion OF the Unitarian
conference that the war must be car
ried on to a successful issue 20 stamp
out militarism in this world, and that
this Unitarian body approves the
measures of President Wilson and
Congress"
The peace issue was precipitated
when the Rev. John Haynes Holmes
OF New York city. as chairman of the
conference council, presented a report
asserting that the majority of Uni
tarians accept the conflict as an ugly
piece Of business which must be
done" and urging full, free, and fair
statements Of all points of view on
this mUmentoUs event"
Mr.. Taft termed the Holmes resolu-
ton a beautiful literary effort" but
declared it an ''insidious document"

BACK FROM GOTHAM
BUYS IN NEW YORK FOR FALL
NO MILITARY STYLES
IN EVIDENCE.

People have about all the mill
tarism they want without military
dress" said K. Paulis this morning
on his return from a three weeks buy
ing trip in New York. Colors are to
be more subdued than were the
spring and summer goods. though
there are many fairly bright and
pretty new ones, both the season and
public taste turns to lower tones.
There is no lack Of new eolors and
shades, and materials in the ready to
wear garments which are now vogue.
There is no cessation of volume OF
business in the great importing
houses with which Mr.. Paulis deals,
he says. Buyers are as eager to get
full stocks of goods as ever, and wish
the authority of these houses. import
ing as they do their fashions and
modes direct from the fashion dicta-
tors of Paris.
On his return Mr.. Paulis visited
the cities of Philadelphia and Wash
ington. Both were active. Washing
ton is largely military. everything be
ing closely guarded. In the case of
the White House, there r guards
about the whole block, and about the
buildings themselves, and nobody is
admitted unless he can show good
cause for his request. and furnishes
a certified g%enealogy.
