PASTOR DEFENDS
LUTHERAN CHURCH
Mr.. Won Bosse Doubts
Lutheran Clergymen Were
German Propagandists
HASN'T HEARD OF
ANY DISLOYALTY

The Rev. S. G. Won Bosse, pastor of
Zion Lutheran Church, Sixth and Jack
son streets, and president OF the National
German American Alliance, previous 10
its enforced dissolution by Congress,
characterlzes the accusation that many
German Lutheran ministers were Ger
man propagandlsts as untrue. He said
that since the entrance Of America into
the war he had not heard OF single
utterance by a German Lutheran min
lister which could be construed as dis
loyal.
DR.. Won Bosse stated that he has not
one German-born member In his church.
The German language, however. has
been used in half the services in his
church during the war, as well as pre-
viously.
Or. Won Bosse said: "The people Of
Delaware have the Idea that a member
OF Lutheran Church must necessarily
be German. That is not true. In most
churches only small part Of the con-
gregations are Germans and many
Lutheran churches as just as English
as any other. In my church, for in
stance, / have not one member who is
German-born. My father and grand
father were Amerlcan-born and on my
visits to Europe / never made any stops
In Germany. So you can see that l
have no particular love for Germany"

Dr. Watts sermon was based on

LIEUT.. PRICKETT Is
HOME FROM WAR

Lieutenant William P. Prickett, son
Of Judge William S. Prickett, who has
been absent from home for four years,
reached Wilmington early yesterday
morning and surprised his parents by
appearing before breakfast.
Lieutenant Prickett had scholar
ship at oxford, England, but in 1915 he
entered the service with the English
forces, later joining the American
forces. During his service as aviator
Lieutenant Prickett suffered fall and
had to be sent to England for treatment.
He was in England when the armis-
tice was signed and his squadron was
sent TO lead one OF the American con-
tingents into Germany. Not caring TO
continue in service by rejoining his
squadron, which may not be mustered
out for some time, and with a view
OF returning 10 oxford, Lieutenant
Prickett asked to be returned TO the
United States.
The request was granted and he
reached Boston last Thursday on the
steamship Canoplc. He was then sent
10 Camp Devens, Mass, and was mus
tered out Of the service Saturday night.
He will remain here over the holidays
and then expects to return TO England
TO take up his studies at oxford Uni
whence he went In 1915, with
a Rhodes scholarship.

check on future wars.
Therefore, a bill TO give the vote to
women over .25 years OF age will have
strong support in the country.
War has taken the men Of France
till women are in the majority by mill
lions. Acknowledgement OF women will
give the balance of power to the femi-
nine sex. They will be able to control
the country wherje therei a division

Women will be less likely than men
to approve Of declarations OF war, and
the next war, If there is another in
volving the gerat powers, will begin
only by vote Of the people.
Germany will undoubtedly give wo-
men the vote when it has effected an
established government. And women
are in the majority in Germany.
England has enfranchised 100000
women, and they win contral the fate
of the nation.
America has more women voters than
men in nineteen States, and will un-
