"1n the fall of 1914. just after the
battle of the Marne, Mr.. Bennett, at a
dinner in Paris, declared that the war
had only. just begun and that the
leaders of the nations did not seem to
realize its true Importance. He said
these leaders imagined the war to be
one of purely political ambitions,
whereas it was really to be a great
conflict between the forces of freedom,
unorganized but liberal. and an autoc-
racy which sought to impose absolute
tyranny upon the world"
DR.. Watson said MIR. Bennett hated
and feared all forms of tyranny. and
that he loved France with a devotion
known only to those who have in their
degree as the French Themselves

Prohibition and votes for women in
the parish elections are the two main
questions that will be debated at the
annual convention of the Long Island
Episcopal Diocese, which began its
two-day session at the Cathedral OF
the Incarnation here to-day.
The fight between the vets and drys
promises to furnish the most violent
struggle that the session will witness
The opening guns were fired to-day
whc. after a resolution had been intro
duced, pledging the convention to the
support of the prohibition movement
the Rev. Henry C. Swentzel, pastor OF
st. Luke's, Brooklyn, delivered an ad.
dress opposing it.
He announced that the people of tho
United States had given up everything
that had been asked of them in this
war, but added: "They are not read,
to give up their personal liberty unless
1t is absolutely necessary. I am willing
to vote for this resolution for the
period Of the war on the ground OF
food conservation"
Mr.. Swentzel then attacked the pro
hibitionists.
What do they care" he asked, go,
the rights of the people? Do the,
want government Of the people, for thu
people and by the people? No, the,
are not ready to submit this grea
question to referendum, but want
few to decide it for ALL"
Debate on the question will be con
tinued tomorrow morning. A livel,
squabble might have developed thi:
afternoon, but it was quashcd b,
Bishop Burgess.
The question of votes for womer
within the Church will also be taker
up tomorrow. This is an old fight
which has caused much antagonism in
former conventions.
Bishop Burgess in his opening ad
dress to-day discussed the social and
economic changes that are to follow
the war He also urged that the
Church lend every effort to the REQ
Cross campaign.
Let every church and every con-
gregation in this diocese answer with
offerings" he said. at is not merely
an act of generosity to our country
men; IT is not merely the highest pa
trlotlsm. 1t is the supreme tribute we
pay now to our Lord, who taught first
and foremost to his age and ours the
mercy Of God"

Five Dollar Bills Selling Fol
&.l3

The United States Government is sell
ding $500 War-Savings at Sab in Feb
bruary, $4.l4 in March, raising the price
one cent month throughout with the
fact that $500 bill today will not
'ouy as much or as many of the pleas
sures of life for which we have money
'as will a War-Savings Stamps when it
natures on January 1st, 1913.
The war cannot be fought with paper
money; we cannot wad up a $500 bill
and shoot it at the Kaiser and do any
damage; that bill is merely a demand
for wheat, or wool, or gasoline, or some
other material which our Government
actually needs to successfully win the
war, SO the wise thing for US to do is
not to spend money, but loan it to the
Government, get 4 per cent interest COM
pounded quarterly for. it and then five
years from now the Government will
leash the stamp and you will have the
money. Then it will buy more of the
things which We want than it will today.
1t is not only good sense but it is
as well, to buy War Saw
ings Stamps.

The Devil And The Babies
DECIDED BY EUGENE II. BLAKE
OF THE VIGILANTES
Internal Palace, Hades.

Internal Palace, Hades.
My Dear Kaiser:
So many people are always saying,
"Give the devil his due,' that few peo-
pie would believe what they heard about
our frightfulness, even after you an
nounced you were going in for it to make
the inferior nations respect your govern
ment. When rumors reached the outside
world about bayonetting babies in Bel
GUM, most people dismissed the thought
as lie got up by some newspaper repor-
ter. l wish those allied soldiers had
thought it was not SO. Each bayonet-
ted baby means ten thousand extra bay
onetted German soldiers.
And now, Wilhelm, the evidencie is get
ting stronger than ever against us. What
you reckon'
You remember that Captain A. P.
Simmons Of the United States Army, at
taehed to the American embassy in Ber-
lii When We got this war started. You
know he was military observer in Ger
many during the mobilization, and those
Americans sent him to Germany because
they could trust him. Well, now he's
back home. And here g what he up and
tells the Republican Club in New York
on January Goth:
"Don't let anyone tell you that Ge--
man atrocities are merely fiction. One
Of the most gruesome sights ever saw
was the impaling Of babies on the ends
of German bayonets and their return
to frantic mothers.'' Later, he tells
those Americans, "We've got to sacri-
flee till the skin is worn down to the
bones Of our hands. The dragon is just
outside our gates"
You know the Nazarene said, "Suf
fer the little children to come unto me,
and the world has been getting SO ten
der with the kids ever since that S why
it s going hard with US now. Wilhelm
N: friend, we re up against it. Baker
says more than million more of those
American soldiers are ready. They've
got evidence on us. That 9 what makes
me fear every one Of them is going to
put up most Myself Of fight when
they get at us.
Yours for Kultur,
BEELZEBUB
