Street, near Eighth Avenue, German
services have already given way TO
those delivered in English. Emanuel
Lutheran Church. Lexington Avenue
and Eighty-eighth street. now has two
services in English and cne in German.
The Rev. William Schoeafeld, pastor
OF the church, moreover, stated yester-
day that it was not improbable the Ger
man service would eventually be aban-
doned
The present movement is in the
right direction" Mr.. Schocnfeld stated
but at the same time we must not
lose sight Of the fact that there are
many aged Germans in this country
who cannot acquire English and who
must be given spiritual ministration
while we are Of German extraction.
1T ought to be remembered we are not
part of modern Germany. Moreover,
we belong TO the most democratic of all
churches. We have opposed militarisn,
and autocracy, and a good many of Us
are in America to-day because there are
and have long been Germans who live
for liberty and who have been willing
to die for it,
Among other churches which re
ported yesterday an increasing demand
for more services in English and a
corresponding decrease of German SER
vice. were the Evangelical Church, in
East Seventy seventh Street; St Paul's
Church, Newbod Avenue; st. Paul's. IN
East l56th Street, and Trinity Church
in East Ninth Street.

All Citizens Asked
10 Be Detectives and
Report Disloyalty

WASHINGTON, May 12.-Evcry
cie'zen may act as a volunteer de-
tectlve to assist government officers
IN ferreting out persons suspected
OF disloyal actions or utteranccs,
says statement issued to-day by
Attorney General Gregory.
United States attorneys have
oeen told to cooperate with news
papers in their districts, so that
public notice can be given of the
nearest Offices of attorneys or the
bureau of investigation, to which
cltlzens may refer informal that
they think will be valuable in run
nlng, down suspicious persons.
Inc district attorneys are in
s1ructed to make it clear" says the
statement, that complaints of even
the most informal or confidential
nature are always welcome and
That citizens should feel free to
bring their information or susp;-
cions to the attention of the near
est representative of the Depart
ment of Justice; or, if that is not
convenient, communicate with the
department at Washington"
Hundreds of letters already are
received daily by the department
here from persons who believe thew
have discovered evidence of dis
loyalty.

can woman toward this vast conflict.
Her sacrifice is another and striking evil
dence OF the growth of universal
brotherhood
Miss Martins burial was a strange
ly solemn ceremony-the church so
far away from America, the Y. NJ. C.
A. secretaries, in their army garb, the
clergyman, also in military uniform,
and the coffin covered with the flag
and heaped with flowers. There was
no sermon. Her sacrifice spoke more
eloquently than words. They sang a
couple Of hymns, which sounded very
odd with so few voices Of women. The
casket was placed in the church vault
and will remain there until the war is
over.
II have read her record card at the
Y. NJ. c. A. headquarters in Paris. On
it, in her own handwriting, are the
words, to the duration of the war,
or longer if necessary
Longer than the duration of the

be found toiline in every camp and

the soldiers Of ed would be the SUM-
preston of the Hearst influence in 1918
DR.. Bllllngsley asserted, on the evil
dence Of quotations from German
papers, that the people of the Kaiser
regard Hearst and the newspapers he
controls as among the most valuable
aids to their cause in this country. The
audience was delighted when he said: ::
Hearst should either be interned or
inferred"
Should Ship Them to Potsdam
Coupling the name of %Herr Won
Hearst" with those of Herr Won La
Follette," "Herr Won Hardwick" and
Herr Won Vardaman," he shouted
"t say we should put them in boat,
ship them over, to Potsdam ard present
them to the Kaiser. We don't want
them around here"
This suggestion brought the heartest
applause of the afternoon.
The remainder of DR.. Billingsley 8
speech was devoted to showing the need
OF a military victory. He took issue
with President Wilson's statement that
we are not at war with the German
people, saying:
THE German people are making war
on us, and we are going to make war
on the whole darn bunch"
q
revolution in Germany, because the
Kaiser has complete military control
over his people, and great masses of
the German people themselves dream
of world domination. He quoted a
recent manifesto of the women's sec
tion of the Pan-German Fatherland
party in support of his statement.
Franz Sigel, son of the Civil War
general of German birth, asserted that
the German-born Americans would fight
kaiserism now as they did in the Ger
man revolution in 1848. He pleaded for
a general attitude of confidence and
comradeship toward loyal German
Americans, saying that "a further social
reorganization and assimilation of for
eign races in America" would come
after the war.
Other speakers were W. F. Kirchner,
Department Commander Of the G. A. r. {;
Captain J. H. Findlay, of the 26th New
Brunswick Battalion; Louis Kutner
Mayme +. Dwyer, national president of
the Sons of Veterans Auxiliary, and
Sergeant Dupree, Of the 105th Field
Artillery. The Rev. Paul M. Spencer
offered the invocation. After the meet,
ing squad from Company D, 47th
Infantry, New York Guard, fired a
salute.

Strike Urged
AS Means of
Stopping War

Memorial meetings for James Con-
molly, who died as traitor for the
part he played in the Sim Fein riots
of 1916, were held yesterday under the
auspices of the Socialist party in Fin
nish Hall, The Bronx, and the James
Connolly Socialist Club in Peoples
House. 7 East Fifteenth Street. At
the latter meeting James Larkin urged
a general strike for peace.
"This war would not go on another
day," he said, "if there were not 110,-
600 900 towards in the United States.
If all the ministers in the country pro-
tested it would not amount to much;
if every member of the Democratic
party Joined still their efforts would
be ineffective.
"But if all the workers of the coun-
try said, This war must stop to-mor-
row or we strike the wheels of indus
try would cease to turn, and in that
same momen te hwar would stop"
With many fanciful diversions, in
cluding a wordy excursion condoning
the destruction of built cathe-
drals which could be rebuilt, but con-
demning the Wholesale destruction of
the God-made human cathedral, Lar
kin proceeded with his address. Emma
Goldman and Alexander Berkman were
victims of tyranny" he said, and
Americans were wasting their time and
sympathy in aiding Ireland's struggle
for liberty before they had liberty
themselves.
He won tremendous applause. Other
speakers were Pat Quinlan and Joseph
Coldwell, who is under $4,000 bail,

Deny Lukewarm Patriotism

Vigorous denial that settlement
workers are unpatriotic or lukewarm
toward the war was made by heads of
New York settlement houses at meet
ing Of the Association of Neighborhood
Workers at the home of Mrs. Fl. P.
DAWSON 500 Park Avenue, last night
81 utterly deny the accusation of John
J. Chapman that settlement workers
are urpatriotic," said Commissioner
Charles B. Stover of the University Set
tlemcnt, "The Jews in my district, on
the East Side. have asked me to erect
big Liberty pole to show our patriot
ism. One year ago not one settlement
worker IN New York, so far as | know,
was in favor of war. We were all pac-
fists, and perhaps some Socialists car
1icd their pacitisn little too far The
real definition of patriot is one who
works for the public good, and GER
tainly settlement workers come within
that definition"
