vIRILE MESSAGE FROM
BISHOP D. S. FUTILE
Celebrated Episcopalian Makes Strong
Plea for His Country.

A message by Bishop Daniel Syl-
vester Tuttle of Missouri always com.
mands national attention. He is pre-
siding bishop of the Episcopal Church.
He has been bishop for more than 81
years and clergyman for nearly 80
years. He comes of Revolutionary
stock and is president of the Missouri
Sons of the Revolution.
Though in his eighty-second year,
the venerable bishop is as vigorous
and as alert as he ever was, a veri-
table watchman on the tower Of his
country. When he learned of the great
Liberty Loan drive to begin April 6,
Bishop Tuttle wrote In an autograph
letter the following virile message:
"FeIIow Americans: All that we are
In good will and strong nerve and all
that we have Of spare means should
be at the service Of our country, now
that she is in a determined struggle
for her own safety and for interna-
tionaI rights and for freedom and JUS
tice and fair play for all the world
"it's time when, under tho colors,
and through Liberty Loans, and on the
firing line, we should cry aloud with
Shakespeare's Wolsey:
"'Let all the ends thou aim'st at be
thy country's, thy Gods and truths"
>The picturesque ecclesiastic win in
every way possible lend his voice and
hand to see the Liberty Loan through.

SECTAR|AN|SM IS
SWEPT ASIDE FOR
3RD LIBERTY LOAN
CATHOLICS, PRoTEsTANTs AND
JEWS DESIGNATE APRIL 7 AS
LIBERTY LOAN SUNDAY.
SERMONS FROM ALL PULPITS
Patriotism, Loyalty and Duty to Sup,
port Country in Present Crisis
to Be the Theme for
All Pastors.

The churches of metropolitan st.
Louis will observe the first Sunday in
April as Liberty Loan Sunday.
There are about 400 parish churches
of every faith, Protestant, Roman
Catholic and Jewish, but no sectarian
line will be drawn when it comes to
the work forkUncle Sam in crushing
once and, for all the unfathomable in,
iquity of Prussianism.
Quite all that was necessary was
merely to suggest April 7 as Liberty
Loan Sunday to get the wonderful
response that is coming daily into
headquarters of the Liberty Loan Or
ganizatlon. The loyalty of all the
churches is doubly assured in these
responses.
The Church Federation of St. Louis

ing out a formal set of suggestions
how best each of theN135 churches in
the federation may observe the Sun
day nearest to the first anniversary
of Americas declaration of war with
Germany.
The Rev. John w. MacIvor, D. D.,
pastor of the Second Presbyterian
Church, is chairman of this commit
tee. Associated with him are the
Very Rev. Carroll NJ Davis, dean Of
Christ Church Cathedral (EpiscopaD, 1,
and Mr.. John B. Edwards. a lawyer
and a Baptist layman.
Archbishop John J. Glennon, who
presides over the spiritual destinies Of
400, 900 Roman Catholics in the Arch
diocese of st. Louis, is heart and soul
with the purposes Of the United
States government, and has informed
the Central Committee Of the Liberty
Loan Organization that he will be
only too glad to do anything and
everything he can to aid his country
in raising the Third Liberty Loan.
The metropolitan has s6 parishes in
the city limits of st. Louis and las
other parishes in the rural territory
from which st. Louis obtains its staff
of life in more senses than one.
The Jewish community of st. Louis
is an important one, comprising about
10000 souls, according to a conserva-
tive estimate. Both the orthodox and
the reformed wings of Judaism are in
tensely loyal to their country. Their
rabbis will do everything in their
power to enlist the active support of
their religious followers in the Third
Liberty Loan.
Each Of the great religious sects
will, Of course, have their own Pc
culiar method of approach to the
great task, but there is going to be
most healthy and friendly rivalry
imaginable between them for the
honor of doing the most by their be-
loved President.
The St. Louis plan is to utilize every
pulpit, every church bulletin, every
religious channel of communication,
every denominational organ, of what
ever name or circulation, in the COM
mon labor Of raising the necessary
funds to sustain our soldiers and sail
ors, Wherever they are.
Doubtless this plan will be exten-
sively followed in all the church cen.
ters of influence throughout the
Eighth Federal Reserve District.

The man sitting opposite asked him

done. Immediately the man opposite
drew a revolver and shot the traitor
three times through the breast, kill

the shooting offered to give himself
up to the officers, but they refused to
arrest him. This is as it should be.

TAX SLACKERS WILL
BE PROSECUTED

"Tax slackers will be prosecuted as
vigorously and relentlessly under the
war revenue act as draft sIackers were
prosecuted under the selective service
act. The aid of all good citizens is in
voked in bringing to justice the man
who deliberately seeks to evade his
just share of the war burden"
This was the statement today of
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Daniel C. Roper. With only ten days
left in which to file income tax returns,
he has practically completed the or
ganization of huge dragnet for
bringing into camp all persons who
fail to file their returns by April l.
Revenue officers in every section of
the country are checking up returns
with view to beginning prosecutions
against tax dodgers. The word has
gone forth that such offenders need
expect no leniency.
Through its educational campaign
the Bureau of Internal Revenue has
endeavored to cover the field so thor
oughly that ignorance of the law can
not be consistently offered as an ex-
cuse," said Commissioner Roper to-
day. The press, the four-minute- men,
the State and County Councils of Ma
t;onal Defense, the field force of the
Department of Agriculture and other
government departments, banks, post
Offices and hundreds of volunteer
agencies have co-operated in bring
ing home to the taxpayer his duty.
"The man who failed to register
under the selective service act was re-
garded by the War Department as a
Stacker and prosecuted as such. The
man who fails to file his income tax
will be regarded as money Stacker,
and when discovered, as he will be,
will be made to suffer full penalties of
the law.
"To the credit of the Nation, it
may be said that l have gratifying
and conclusive evidence that these in
come taxes will be paid by the great
majority of the American people
cheerfully and willingly. But the du-
ty of the honest man does not end with
the payment of his own tax. / call
upon him to aid in bringing into camp
the tax dodger. A man so niggardly
as to seek to evade what his repre-
sentatives in Congress have declared
to be his just share of tax imposed
for the support of our arms is deserv-
ing of no consideration and will re-
ceive none.
Congress has distributed this tax
justly and equitably. The rate is
fixed so that the rich man and the man
of moderate means are assessed, each
according to his income. No man can
offer the excuse that his neighbor es-
capes what he is made to pay. There
fore it is incumbent upon all good
citizens to aid in carrying out the in
tent and spirit of the law, which is
that the burden of the war tax be ev-
enly distributed and every man COM
PEELED to pay his just quota"

MINISTERIAL ALLIANCE NOTES

At a meeting of the Alliance, held

the clocks be moved up one hour, be-
ginning next Lords day at 2 o'clock.
We will have our services at 1880

STRINGENT TREATMENT
NOW in ORDER

Reports continue to appear from
different sections Of the country of
more or less severe punishment being
administered to slackers, pro-Germans
and traitors, all of which is very just,
so far as it goes. The truth of the
matter is, however, that it is very sell
dom that the punishment is nearly as
severe as it should be. A "slap on the
wrist" is not suitable punishment
for a capital crime.
Every community throughout the
United States is being practically
stripped of its most perfect young
men, who are going far across the
waters to lay down their lives, if
needs be, to save the world from the
damnation that would follow German
victory. The least that can be asked
of any and every citizen who is per-
mitted to remain at home, in the en-
joyment of untold privileges, is that
they do everything in their power to
assist those boys, who have placed
their lives on the altar of liberty, in
every way possible and to the very
last extreme.
The Times is firmly of the opinion
that any means that may be neces-
sary in order to bring every inhabi-
tant of these United States into unit
ed effort to win this war is entirely
justified. Therefore if there are still
any alien enemies in the United States
and there are many of them
more stringent measures should be
taken to get rid of them than has
been enforced up to the present time.
In other words they must be cured
or killed. One or more of the most de-
praved in each community should be
strung up by the neck until dead, as
a lesson and warning to others of
the same breed.
If such treatment does not effect a
cure, then repeat the dose until the
different communities are freed from
such stultifying characters. Even
those attempting to hide behind the
veil of neutrality should be given the
cure. At heart they are enemies of
this country, more to be feared even
than the out-spoken pro-German. In
our opinion the time for "interning
enemies for the duration of the war"
is passed. This is no time for such
homeopathic doses. Every person
who is not for the United States and
the allies in their battle for humanity,
is against them, and their lives
should be worth no more to US at this
time than our lives would be worth
to the Germans, were we in the hands
of the Kaiser.
( The time is now here when every
effort should be made, not only to
break up the most remote ramifica-
tions of the intricate German spy sys-
tenn throughout the country, but also
to purify the atmosphere of the last
breath of German propaganda and
sympathy. Owing TO largeness of
heart of Americans, which the dense
German sympathizer seems wholly un-
able to appreciate, this country has
already been compelled to suffer en-
tirely too heavily from the enemies
within our borders.
