ALLIED FLAGS FLY AT
PATRIOTIC PROGRAM
Collection Of Fourteen Ban
ners, Only One Of its
Kind in Country.

The fourteen representative flags
of allies in the world war were swung
across the area Of the First Presby-
terian church yesterday as decora-
tions for Patriotic Day In the Sunday
school. The flags were OF uniform
size, made of the finest satin, and
form one Of the few collections OF its
kind IN the country,
The flags could not be furnished
by New York city, according to those
who had the program In charge. A
wire was sent last week ordering n
complete collections of the flags OF
our allies and none Of the decorating
firms were able to take the order.
Determined to have the exhibition,
the matter was put In the hands OF
Mrs II. r. Macarthur and Mrs. l.. II.
Young, who made the banners from
authoritative patterns. They are per-
feet in workmanship and designs ana
probably Will be in great demand.
The flags were. the Union Jack of
Great Britain, the Tricolor of France,
the Black, Yellow and Red OF Bel

gro, Roumania, Portugal. Japan, Cuba,

REV. KERR GIVES
REASON FOR WAR
Pastor of First Presbyterian
Church Speaks on "Why
America Is at War;.
IDEALS OPPOSITE, HE SAYS
United States Must Stand Out
to Preserve Democracy ana
Freedom on Earth.
IDEALS OPPOSITE, HE SAYS

With n symposium Of quotations
showing the complete diversion OF
American and German ideals. the
Rev. j. w. Kerr preached at the Frs,
Presbyterian church last night on the
timely subject, "Why America is at
War"
There can be no enduring peace
on this earth until Prussianism Is de-
stroyed." said Mr.. Kerr in eXplana-
tion of his attitude "And | am sure
that the United States cannot stauo
aside, and from safe isolation watch
this struggle between liberty and des-
potsm. In the moral order of the
universe II Is not permitted to M
ton more than II Is permitted to an
individual to be neutral upon the
great fundamental issues of conduct.
Wants Enduring Peace.
"I am pacifist. but | am not ror
peace at any price. | believe that
cuch n peace will not be an enduring
peace. Peace at any price means tue
surrender of civilization, the suttciI-
der OF liberty the surrender of self
respect. There can he no enduring
peace between absolutism and demo-
cracy. ] believe that If this war Is
won by the allies, that 1t will mean
the end of wars. that the earth will
] never dEdtn ut NulHtu ny Tue llllpbN-
ters of divine right"
With this statement of principle,
Reverend Kerr devoted the most OF
his sermon to the setting forth OF
German aims. bringing home the ( act
that they are absolutely irreconclable
to the supreme rules of democracy
and liberty, so essential to the life of
America.
From Rev. II. Francke, German
preacher of note, Mr.. Kerr quoted as
follows:
Germany is precisoly-who would
venture TO deny 1.-THE representative
of the highest morality of the puresi
humanity, of the most chaston
christianity; he, therefore. who fights
for It's maintenance. Its victory. fights
for the highest blessings of humanity
Itself and for human progress. IT.
decline would mean n falling back t.
the worst barbarism."
We Are the Dogs.
| Another German writer, one more
radical than his compatriot, was
pointed out by Mr.. Kerr as havirp
published these words. "Germany Il
SO far above and beyond all other ma
tions that all the rest of the earth
be they who they may, should tee
themselves well done by when they
are allowed to fight with the dogs
for the crumbs that fall from her
table"
In contrast to these expressions
were emphasized parts of Presoen'
Wilson's address at the declaration OF
war, bringing out the sincere unset
fish devotion of this country to demo
cracy and freedom and its willingness
to sacrifice I'm order that these Ideals
may be perpetuated. In closing, Mr.
Kerr used with tremendous effect
those words OF Lincoln in his Gettys
burg address:
Let us therefore highly resolve
that these dead shall not have died
| in vain. that this nation under God
shall have new birth OF freedom
and that government of the people
by the people and for the people shall
not perish from the earth"
