GERMANY MAKES
EFFORT TO GET

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-Wide and
persistent efforts, having their origin
In Berlin, have been made to get the
churches OF both neutral and belliger-
ent countries to call conference,
which under another name practically
would be a peace conference. While
the movement received much support

tente countries and America.

secretary of the Federal Council Of

made public here today by the federal
council. DR.. Mcfarland said he was
quite sure that there had been efforts
emanating from Germany to influence
the churches Of both neutral and war.
ring nations on the side Of the con-
ference.
1t is felt in France, DR.. Mcfarland
said, that it would be dishonorable to
comply with the invitation for the
meeting which was sent out by the
Archbishop OF Upsala, Sweden, in as
ISOLATION with ecclesiastical officials in
Norway and Denmark. The French
churches want peace, he said. but
only an honorable peace.
The federal council did not reply to
the invitation, awaiting the result Of
DR.. McFarland's inquiry. His report
says that nothing should be allowed
to bring any weakening influence to
bear among our moral and spiritual
forces in resisting defeating the I'M
scrupulous, vainglorious, utterly I'M
trustworthy power which the chrches
of Germany are clearly sporting with
undivided strength"
