TOURNAMENT WITH ANCIENT
AND HONORABLE EVENT TODAv
Big Affair Will Be Followed by Annual Sprino
Tournament at Country Club of Atlantic
City Next Week
BY WILLIAM II. EVANS

HNHE Lakewood Country Club will open
i the golf season in this section Of the
country with its annual competition for
the Stanley Memorial Cup today. II Is
the same sort of a tournament as Phila-
delphlans are familiar With when the
oldsters compete in the ancient and hon
orablc tournament. II Is the curtain
raiser to the big three-day tournament
which will open tomorrow. The event
today will be restricted TO men who have
reached the age Of fifty-fve or over, and
there is every indication that the entry
list will be large.
Will Aid Blind Soldiers
The entrance fee for both. tournaments
will be s5, and all the money will be
given to the blind war-relief fund for the
unfortunate soldiers of America, Great
Britain, France and Belgium.
The tournament-that Is, the three
day affair--was won last spring by Percy
Platt, of the Monmouth Country CLUB
who defeated T. s. p. Randolph, Jr., in
| the final. Plat also defeated Norman
/ II. Maxwell, the former North and South
champion, In the semfinals. Clayton G.
! Dixon, Of the Sprlnghaven Country Club
was also beaten in the semihnals by
! Randolph Maxwell won the medal fot
| the low score after tying with Dr, a. r
/ Haight, of Massapequa with a score
of 49,
In view of the fine weather It is very
likely that a large entry list of players
from this city will compete in the Lake
wood tournament, While the great ma
| jority of them will be those who have
played In the South during the last win

reached that stage of perfection where i
Is possible to play summer or regulation
rules, and this Of course will handicap
those who will play at Lakewood. Be
cause of the sandy soil it will be par
ticularly suited to that fortunate lot o
players who have been trying out tn
various courses in the South during tn
last winter.

Pastor Urges Irish
In u. S. to Aid Allies

An appeal to Irish citizens of the
United States to trust their government
and stand soldly behind the Allies was
made by the Rev. DR.. Christian F. Refs
ner in e sermon to one hundred Ameri-
can sailors from a vessel Of the over
seas feet last night at the Grace Meth
odis. Episcopal Church, in 104th Street.
Dr. Reisner deplored the character OF
The mass meeting held by Irishmen Sat
urday evening in Madison Square Gar
den.
Propaganda which is directed
against England becomes boomerang
that strikes back at the United States"
he said. "No real citizen will lend one
ounce of sympathy with the movement
IN the old country to embarrass and
hinder our ally.
"Do the Irish honestly believe that
Germany. if She should win, would give
them more liberty than they have nov?
u seems impossible. Instead of inter
ierng IN any way they should throw
themselves without stint into the war.
Every time Ireland requires troops
TO keep it straight, that many are taken
out OF the front lines Every time ac-
tion is taken to stay the draft in Ire
land 1t encourages Germany, and so
causes the death of thousands of our
own youth. We must break the spirit
OF Prussia. We cannot do it if such
natural fighters as the Irish hold back. y

Slackers Misplaced
I'm Religious World,
Says New Minister
The Rev. J. r. Straton De-
nounces Certain Philoso-
phies as "Made in
Germany"

The Rev. John Roach Straton. called
from Norfolk. Va, to succeed the Rev.
Robert Stuart Macarthur as pastor of
Calvary Baptist Church, in West Fifty
seventh Street. occupied the pulpit
'herc yesterday morning for the first
tlme. He preached on Goods Call to
HIS Church To-day" A capacity con-
gregation listened to the new minister.
The sermon was punctuated with epj-
Erammatic utterances. regarded by
many of the pastors hearers as some
what similar to those Of Billy Sun
day. the evangelist.
The Son of God did not come down
from Heaven and die upon the cross
merely to give Gown and outs a plate
OF soup and cake of SOAP" was one
of the Sundayesque statements of the
Rev. Mr.. Straton. Others we're:
"There is no place in the religious
world for slackers. if God dealt with
HIS soldiers as sternly as this govern
ment deals with hers, I am afraid
lhere would be several million courts

"rhc tendency of some modern
churches to put ovcremphasis upon the

tive blunder Such efforts are in
splrcd by philosophy and theology
which sh ould bear the wei! known label
Made in Germany"
That the Church has a great prac-
tcal duty and mission to support edu-
cational and phlanthropic agencies. to
dethrone Mammon and materialism and
Put an end to political corruption. was
declared by the Re-. Mr.. Straton.
"Thc true Church cannot shut her
eyes to these wrong conditions., he
continued. "The Church is not hos
pltal to nurse sick saints into heaven.
1t is rather an armory to train good
soldiers of Jesus Christ and prepare
them to battle for the redemption of
lost world and then to inherit
heaven: There is an easygoinp
idea abroad that we have outgrown
the church and soon will not need it
any more. This is falacy. Or
ganization and system are vital to
everything that is worth while. The

must have its established system and
curriculum. The army must have it's

Constitution Void,
Indicted Pastor
Tells Socialists
Roman Empires Prohteers
Like Those of u. S.,
Tucker Declares

The Rev. Irwin St. John Tucker, now
under indictment for alleged disloyalty
was the principal speaker at the So
cialist partys observance of Karl
Marks Tooth anniversary at the Star
Casino yesterday.
The Rev. Mr.. Tucker declared that
this country is no longer living under
the Constitution; that the Democratic
party has declared it null and void, and
that this nation is now being ruled by
the Council of National Defence.
This statement brought minute of
applause. The Rev. Mr.. Tucker re-
ccived even more applause when he
asserted that the early wars of the
Roman Empire were started SO that
the munition profteers or Rome might
declare dividends; and that the his
tory of ancient Rome and the history
of modern United States read SINH
larly.
Only one lonely handicap was heard
when the Rev. Mr.. Tucker said he did
not approve of the Socialist party's St.
LOUIS anu-"ar resolutions. The audi
ence gasped.
Il do not disapprove the general
sentiment of the resolutions" the Rev.
Mr.. TUCKER hastily explained. 81 dis
prove of the phraseology of it,"
That placed the audience in an ap
plaudlng humor again. The speaker
then expressed the hope that "all capi-
tallsts would be consumed in the fame
they had started" He advocated con-
sccrl'pting the wealth of the capitalists
after the war the same "as the CAPT
tallsts had conscripted worhingmen to
fight the war"
George R. Kirkpatrick predicted that
sne ea proposed sedition act passed by the
senate would never be signed by Presi
dent Wilson even if it passed in the
Congress. ''''
=, Most of the histories of the United
states, including President Wilson'S
own, would have to be destroyed if this
law passed." he said.

Boarded Ship il, Brazil
Twelve Other Passengers Are
Taken to Detention Quar-
ters for Investigation
Boarded Ship in, Brazil

AN ATLANTIC PORT. May 5,--
vour passengers. either German or
of German birth, on British liner
arriving from South America. were
held On board under strict guard by
naval and military intelligence officials
when the vessel docked here to-day.
Il was reported that dozen others
we're taken from the ship to the Fed
era detention quarters. but no in
forma,ion was forthcoming, and it is
believed that they were detained
merely as violators of immigration
lsws to be brought before special
board Of inquiry.
The aeizure of the alleged pro-
Germans was accompanied by the most
rigid examination OF baggage, papers
and other documents brought in. The
elects of q number of those on board
were held for further investigation.
One man, German in name and
snpearancc, whose identity was <kept
secret by The Federal officials, at
tracted particular attention. He got
on the vessel at Rio de Janeiro and
attempted to get off when it touched
at Barbados. The British authori-
ties then stepped in, and as result
the alleged German was practically a
urisoner for the remainder of the
VOYAGE here He was placed under
guard and not allowed to appear on
deck at any time.
{ When the vessel docked the Ger
man was taken from the custody of
the liners quartermaster and put on
the grill by the intelligence men. All
his papers were confscated. and un-
usual measures were taken to pre-
vent his bringing in information or
codes from South America, now the
headquarters of German propaganda
in the western hemisphere.
Two walking sticks he carried were
broken by the government otfi-
cals for concealed documents, and
phonograph records were taken away
from him. After questioning him for
hours. the officials ordered him to re-
main aboard the ship, from which he
will probably be removed tomorrow
