MORMONS PLAN WORLD
DRIVE WHEN WAR ENDS.
rs CHARGE OF PASTOR

New York, May 6.-As the result
of the tremendous slaughter of the
men of this generation, the Mormon
church plans polygamy for all the
world, according to DR.. E. L. Mills.
OF the board of home missions of the
Methodist church.
He declared that reports from their
semi-annuai conference held in Salt
Lake City recently suggest that they
are only waiting for the end Of the
war to start out on their world cam
paign.
An exhortation by Joseph F. Smith
in his presidential address before the
conference, that all widowers who are
not too old should feel it their duty
to marry again is considered by DR..
Mills as significant
Just as soon as the war is over"
said DR.. Mills, they are going to
make a tremendous drive to spread
polygamy all over Europe, because
they realize, of course, that the tre-
mendous surplus of women over men
in all the bellfgerent countries will
offer such an opportunity for their
propaganda as they have never had
before"
