CITY IS THRILLED
BY PULPIT PLEAS
TO WIN THE WAR

Appeals made by ministers from
many Washington pulpits on victory
and peace" Sunday, are still ringing
in the ears of thousands Of Washing
ton churchgoers today.
From q score Of pulpits words OF
encouragement went forth bidding
the people of the United States bend
all their energies to the preservation
of their birthright of freedom There
can be no pest for Christianity while
the inhumanity of the Germans holds
sway, was the warning OF the
churches.
Because of the brutality OF the
Hun, who has overshadowed Nero in
his cruelty. we must pray for victory
in this war" was the answer OF the
Rev. John Compton Ball, OF the Metro
spolitan Baptist Church, to the ques-
.tion of his sermon, why Pray for
Victory"
No War for Conquest.
THE United States fights for the
cause of humanity and not for con-
quest" declared the pastor, "and
hence It is emincntly fitting that
the people should pray for victory
over the enemies of the country and
democracy"
A united America must Withstand
the spirit of opposition to the war,
was the opinion of the Rev. Randolph
II. McKim, of the Church Of the
Epiphany, who took as his text, "Suf-
fer no man to remain in camp, but
let all come to the battle" The
patriotism OF our country Is challeng-
ed by the disloyalty of so many So
called pacifists, he said.
Some there are who are sincere
in their principle, but the vast ma
'jority cloak under the principle OF
conscientious objector, abJect coward
ice and pro-Gern'sn leanings. The
prayers of the loyal must rise for
the difficulties az home as well as
the battles in, the trenches.
Rasputin'E Death Approved.
Had not the Fand OF Providence
swept Rasputin, the evil genius of
Russia, from the face OF the earth
Germany would have triumphed in
the East" In mis- gripping sermon
on The Life of Rasputin" at the
First Congregational Church, the Rev.
James L. Gordon thus indicated the
hand that slew the Mad Monk of
lsussia.
Had not the spread of his insidious
Influence been stopped the progress
of the world towards humanity and
jae higher ideals OF Christianity
would have tbeen retarded for CEN
turtles, the preacher said.

HIGH SCHOOL MOBILIZATION.
First School in Iowa Taking Steps to
increase Food Production.

Fort Dodge April II. - The Fort
Dodge high school is. the first one IN
the state to take up the industrial
mobilization of its pupils.
This patriotic movement which
started yesterday IS in the hands OF
what is called the board of strategy.
made up OF members from each class.
T. NJ Martin Of the commercial de-
partment is the faculty adviser.
Each class has recruiting officers
who enroll all students who have sum
mer work TO do and also keep lists
oc those who want work.
The main idea is 10 encourage
farming and gardening. and food pro-
duCtiOn and also to interest the stu
dents along industrial lines.
4 card index system is kept and
work obtained for those enrolled who
want work. The Information will be
checked over in the fall.
The girls AZ well as the boys are
included In this work. Miss O'Nein,
physical supervisor. will instruct the
girls IN first aid work.
Because many of the students can
not enlist In the army on account of
size, age and physica! condition is no
reason why tsey can not all enter into
the service of food production and
thus show their patriotism.

keosuk LOYALTY Parade,

Keokuk, April 1i.-Hearty support
vas pledged the president and the gov
eminent by a large assemblage which
participated in loyal celebration here
Monday night. A procession more than
a mile in length, in which were citi-
zens. national suardsmen, Spanish and
civil war veterans, boy scouts, and fra
ternal, political and social organiza-
tons. preceded the meeting.
The Loyalty Day parade moved thru
an avenue Of fags. Main street had
been decorated with American ban
nerS used on the cross wires for the
fall celebration last year. The plan
70 have the marchers in the center Of
Main street made It possible for every
one to see the pageant and Il was
much more effective than TO occupy
only ono side of the street.
The parade moved promptly at 40
o'clock and ended at the Elks' build
ing. where the crowd gathered to hear
the speeches from the porttco Of the
building. The speakers urged on the
people Of Keokuk the necessity 10 sup
port the president and the government
in this crisis. and urged everyone to do
his full duty in this hour.

Mayor Potter Sends
. Congressman Haugen
Letter of Protest

Mason City, April 1l.yMayor T. A.
Potter, OF this city, has written Gem
gresham Haugen letter disputing
the latter's claim that the Fourth dis
trict is against war, as reason for his
vote against the declaration.
Mayor Potter says in his letter:
Mason City. Iowa, April Z. 1917, q.
y. Haugen. Washington, d. G.. Dear
Satisfactorily morning the telegraph
ic reports show that YOU voted against
the war measure that had been pre-
viously passed by the senate and later
passed by the house with about fif.y
dissenting votes.
II notice that YOU gave as your reH-
sons: First your conscience. Second
that it was against the traditions or
the nation, particularly on account Of
Washington's idea that this country
should not enter into arrangements
with foreign nations. and third. that
-eighths of people of the Fourth
district OF Iowa were opposed TO war.
The first reason you give is personal.
and have no remarks TO make.
"The second. In reference to the ira
dit!ons OF the country, | don't consider
well taken. and | am satisfied that IL
George Washington were alive today
he would support the executive depart
ment OF our government at a critical
time
The third reason, in which you say
that seven eighths OF the people of the
Fourth district are against the passage
OF a war measure, is absolutely incor-
rect and want to particularly call
yr,tr n.tapttpn IN tho fact that the peO-
pie Of the Fourth district OF Iowa arc
practically to man in favor OF sup
porting the government at this time.
Eve feel here that we owe n duty to
humanity In trying to help suppress
militarism. which in Europe as prac-
ticed by Germany. has become so ar
rogant that il not only menaced the
old world. but seriously affects the fu-
,ure welfare of this nation. Therefore,
can not comprehend now You siluuiu
be so far deceived by your advisers
from this section as 10 have made such
n remark openly on the floor of the
house Of representatives, There are no
moro loyal and patriotic citizens in
America than those living in your dis
trlct. The people OF this district start
ready to a man to support the govern
ment at time in its history 80 vitality
Important as this now az hand.
Therefore. voicing the sentiment OF
the people of this state, and particular
Is this community. I want to register
a most vigorous protest on your action
in voting against the war measure re-.
