A War of Atheism and Barbarism
Against Christianity and Civilization

the outcome OF this struggle rests
the future OF all civilization and OF
Christianity itself. Any failure on
the part OF America and our Allies to
carry this war to the final concluS-
ion as to whether barbarism or civ
ilzation shall exist, would be fatal
to the be interest OF mankind.
As Germany and its allies now
see that they are inevitably doomed
TO defeat. since civilization is greater
than barbariSm, and since the pow
ers OF Heaven are greater than the
powers OF hell, we may expect a con-
tinuation OF the efforts OF Germany
and Austria and Turkey and Bull
garia 10 seek peace without punish
ment. They will use every influence
in this and othe rcountries to ere
ate ,ickly, mawkish, neurotic sem
timent against the punishment Of
criminals. They are already moving
in every possible way to bring about
a peace which would leave their
crimes unpuniShed and permit them
to prepare Tor another war.
In view OF these facts we desire
to place upon record our earnest
appeal to the President of the
United States, and to Congress, that
no word OF peace shall be uttered
in this country until Germany and
its allie, have unconditionally sur
rendered their armies and their
navieS; and we earnestly pray that
in Justice to all the civilization OF
the centuries to come, in justice to
the millions who have died upon the
hattleiields in defense OF civilza-
ton. in Justice to the outraged wom-
en- and the mangled children, that
President Wilson will insist that
there shall be no peace until after
an unconditional surrender, and un-
i'll the leading criminals have with
their lives paid for their fearful
crimes. Unless this be done, civ
ilization would place a premium
upon crime and give encouragement,
for other wars by showing that 1t
did no, have the moral backbone to
inil;ct punishment upon those re-
sponsible for the most awful war
winch the world has ever krown.
In view of these facts the First
Baptist Church OF Baltimore desires
to place upon its records this paper,
and authorizes its officials to send
copy OF it to the President of the
United States, to the Senators and
Representatives from Maryland and
to furnish a copy to the press. And
we call upon every church in the
land to recognize that in this the
greatest moral issue which the world
has ever faced, it is the solemn duty
OF the Church OF God to record its
to any peace with the
blackest criminals in human history
until Germany and its allies have
made as far as is humanity possible,
atonement for their crimes.

RUMANIA MAY BE
IN WAR AGAIN
TO AID ENTENTE

Paris, Sept. 20.-(Correspondence
OF The Associated Press. )-There Is
a steadily growing belief in Ru-
mania that il the German DONNA
ton and oppression continued, there
may be an uprising among the peo-
ple. particularly il the food and
clothing famine is not relieved.
There are many who feel, says
prominent Rumanian who has just
returned here from Jassy, that 1t
NAV not be impossible that the Ru-
manian army will again take up arms
against the Central Powers. This
conviction, said he, is the stronger
since the recent decisive victories
OF the Allies on the Western front.
Already there is grave unrest
among the peasants, who are forced
by the German agents to work long
and laboriously in farm and factory,
with scarcely sufficient wages to
buy their daily bread. The Ger
mans are thoroughly disliked by all
from the royal family down to the
humblest peasant.
The belief that the Rumanian
army may fight again prevails not
only among the people, but in mill
tary circles. Officers are confident

TELLS OF EXPERIENCE
WHEN CAPTURED
BY SAVAGE HUNS

With the American Forces in
France, Sept. 20.-(By Mail)-
Private Edward f. Baker OF Pitts
burgh, Pa, is one OF the few Amer
leans who claims to have been a
prisoner in Germany and then eS-
capped back to his comrades. Here
is an outline OF the story told by
Baker when he came into fismes
late one night soon after the Amer
leans took possession OF that town:
Early one morning there had been
street fighting in Fismes and in an
encounter. several Germans got the
drop on Baker and marched hlm
back to their lines.
Before noon the Germans mad
Baker working in trenches, and they
kept him digging in one place or an-
other most of the afternoon without
as much as even suggesting that he
might want something TO eat. Late
in the afternoon he Americans
started an attack, preceding 1t with
heavy barrage from the artillery
Naturally this caused quite a COM
motion among the Germans on the
hills north of Fismes.
When the German guarding Baker
turned his head to look in the direc-
ton of the whz OF an American
shell, Baker seized stick OF wood
and struck the guard blow on the
head. and then ran into 4 nearby
wood, toward the Americans. None
OF the Germans followed him, al
though several soldiers fired with
their rifles as he disappeared in the
brush.
Baker reached his companions
that night just eighteen hours after
he had been taken prisoner, and he
had nothing to eat all day.

Bulsaria's Collapse
ImpoveriShes Many
Rich NorweSians

Stockholm, Oct. S.--(By The AS
sociated PresS) - Bulgaria'S with
drawal from the war and subsequent
peace developments have played
havoc with Scandinavian shipping
stocks. Norwegian papers estimate
that 100 war millionaires have been
wiped out by the break in Norwe'
gian shipping securities alone.
In a single day, it is estimtaed that
the value OF Norwegian shipping
stocks declined l00,000,00O kroner,
or about $35,0O0,O00. These losses
were chiefly on securities OF small
companies operating one or two
ships whose stocks have been sell
ing as high as 400 because OF stitt
freight rates. Many stocks OF tins
character have dropped in value 81
Ocr cent.

PAYING OUR WAR BILLS.

Buying Liberty Bonds is not mere
ly lending the government money
to use for war purposes AT some tu-
ture time. 1t is helping to pay our
bills right now.
The government is paying those
bills at the rate OF $5O,OOOOOO a day.
1t has spent all the money raised by
the last Liberty Loan. 1t is using
cash obtained by making short
term bank loans in anticipation OF
the money now being raised.
The war bills are your bills. Pay
up. Buy bonds.
You can do it all the more conf
fortably in the knowledge that every
dollar OF it will be given to YOU with

For four wears the world has been
enduring the. most fearful agonieS
ever known in human history.
After years OF planning and the
concentration OF its physical, finan-
cial, and mental work upon prepar-
ING for a war, Germany definitely
launched campaign for conquer
ing. looting and dominating all the
world. Its leaders taught that
irightiulness must be its plan when
ever this war should be inaugurated,
and that the people of the overrun
countries must be destroyed or driv-
en- out in order that Germans might
occupy the territory thus depopu'
lated.
In carrying out this long planned,
diabolical scheme OF world conquest,
Germany has violated every law OF
God and man. 1t has ruthlessly
murdered innocent women and chill
dren and aged men. Its armies nave
blackened the pages OF history with
the outragiug OF women and the
mangling oi children beyond any
thing known since the creation OF
mankind In a recent address Sec
retary of State Lansing, referring
to the crimes OF Germany said that
to recount them would Slcken a
tiger"
When Germany entered upon its
long predetermined war by inyad-
ing Belgium, it definitely began a
war upon all civilization. For tour
wears the beast OF barbarism and
Of atheism has clulchcd at the throat
OF civilization and of Christianity.
When Germany sank the LuSitania
and gloatingly fed to the sharks a
thousand innocent men. women and
children, it committed the most lear
ful crime ever known on the high
seas. and indelibly stamped upon
the records Of history the blacklist
page that had ever been recorded.
Whatever may have been the views
OF those who prior to the sinking OF
the Lusitania did not realize, per
haps. the magnitude of Germany'S
criminal acts. there was never from
that moment the possibility OF any
man or woman attempting TO excuse
the fiendish act and thereby favor
ing Germany without at the same
time definitely becoming co-part-
ner with, and an upholder OF its aw-
iul crimes against womanhood, child
hood. and civilization and Christian
iW.
For nearly three years America
held aloof from the struggle and
was protected by the armies and the
navics OF England and France and
Italy as they struggled in the death
grapplc with barbarism.
For more than one year America
lras been engaged in this great strug-
Gle alongside OF our Allies, and upon

Fools and Sages

Some Sages wise look down on folly
And view the fool with melancholy,
But as for me the foolishness

For if we had no fools at all
The wise would find but little call
For all the wisdom they dig out
To put the foolis!; ones to rout,
And it would raise the very hob
II all the wise men lost their job.
