Unconditional Surrender" was the
clarion call sounded from the pulpit Of
the First Presbyterian church Sunday
evening, when the pastor, Rev. Edgar
Grassland, continued a series of sermons
which has centered around the activities
of the allies in their battle for the pre-
seryation of democracy. II was the first
Sunday evening sermon in the church
since the state board of health placed an
embargo on public gatherings and there
was large attendance. The clergyman
reminded his hearers that America is
only one of several nations which are to
have a say in the settlement Of peace
terms, and he declared that the claims
of Belgium and France, by reason of the
fact that they have suffered the most,
deserve much the highest consideration
Apparently President Wilson's exchange
of notes did not concur with the speak
ers conclusions as TO the terms which
should be imposed on conquered Ger
many Much of the pastors address was
taken up with an interesting review Of
Germany's high crimes.
