The Claims of the Church.

As a reminder of what mankind owes the churc
for laying the foundation upon which we now hoT
to be able to build super structure of world demo
nacy the declaration adopted by the executive con
Infttee Of the federal council of the Churches
Christ in America nj Atlantic City recently is we
Worth reproducing now. Here it is;
The war crisis of the world has passed
but a world crisis is upon US.
Shall there be a common standard Of right
and privilege for all peoples and nations"
President Wilson inquiries "or shall the strong
do as they will and the weak suffer without
redress?'
Are we to lapse back" asks Lloyd George,
~into the old national rivalries, aninosities
and competitive ornaments, or are we to in
tiate the reign on earth OF the Prince of
Peaoe?'
The time has come to organize the world
for truth and right justice and humanity. To
this end, as Christians urge the estab-
Iighrnent of a league of free nations at the COM
ing peace conference. Such a league is not
mere political ezpedient; it is rather the poll
teal expression of the kingdom of God on
earth
The church Of the Living God rightfully
calls for the creation of agencies adequate to
enforce law, to keep order throughout the
world and to preserve the rights of the weak
and helpless. Selfish and IawIess nations
must be restrained Security and fair eco
nomic opportunity must be guaranteed to each
by the united power of all THE impartial
justice melted out must involve discrimina-
ton between those to whom we wish to be just
and those to whom we do not wish to be just"
These are matters fundamental to the rule OF
the Prince Of Peace.
The world is now so small, the life Of ma
tons so intertwfned the mastery Of natures
titanic forces so complete and the power Of
selfish, economic or nationaIstic groups to en-
slave whole peoples and 10 bring tragedy to the
entire world so dangerous, that the re-estab-
Iishmenta Of the Id-world order Of irrespon-
sibie states has become intolerable.
We must have a governed world in which
the security and rights Of each shall rest upon
the combined strength OF all Humanity must
be organized on a basis Of justice and fair
dealing The law Of brotherhood must super
sede the law Of the jungle
a league to attain these results must be
democratic in spirit and in form. It must be
capable Of continuous adjustment to the ad-
vancing life Of separate nations and also Of the
world. 1t must be directed by the enlightened
conscience Of mankind. The heroic dead will
have died in vain unless out Of victory shall

BOoTLEGGERS HAVE
WAR ALL THEIR OWN

MEMPHIS. Tenn. May S.-Booze
Ismugglers and whislIey runners in
Minphis vicinity have become real
bad men, They have been furnish
ing the United States marshals with
many thrills and the odds are that a
quantity of hot lead will be spilled in
the very near future.
Although but "a year ago, the boot
leggers never dreamed of fight, United
States marshals To-Day go armed with
automatic shotguns, far shooting
rifles and revolyers of heavy caliber.
They have been forced to do it in de-
fense of their lives.
Week by week the gangsters who
sell booze have become more danger
Gus. They have developed into a class
of dare-devils, far more dangerous to
hunt than the busoIic moonshiner in
his mountain lair.
OF the booze-running gangs, tive
are especially dangerous. One OF
these operate by use of ''stick-up"
tactics. On two notable instances this
gang impersonated United States mar
shals and bagged large quantities of
booze from other bootleggers.

FOR WOMEN OF LARGER
PROPORTIONS

The science of tailoring has evolv-
ed a system of measurements that
makes it just as simple for larger wo-
men to be correctly dressed as for
their sisters of smaller size.
In addition to fit, a peculiar meth
cd of emphasizing the long lines and
minimizing all others has the effect
of "slenderizing" the figure of wo-
men who would find it impossible to
wear any other type of suit. asa.
Style has not been sacrificed to any
of the above features. The models in
