Has Not Altered Opinion
That German Power Must
Be Destroyed.
LETTER WILL BE READ
FROM CHURCH PULPITS
Statement Will Be Used AS
Basis For Smoking Out
All Pacifists.

New York, April President Will
son has not changed his attitude
toward a negotiated peace with the
Central powers, as expressed in his
Flag Day address, his reply to Pope
Benedict and his message to- Congress
on the declaration of war with Austria,
according to a letter he has written
to Bishop Theodore S. Henderson of
the Methodist Episcopal church, made
public here today by the national war
council of the church.
Bishop Henderson wrote to the
President in behalf of 10000, 900
American Methodists, asking in par
ticular whether his present unwaver-
ing purpose was expressed in the fol-
lowing words from his messages:
1.-THE German power, thing with
out conscience, honor or capacity for
covenanted peace, must be crushed
X x. Our present and immediate
task is to win the war and nothing
shall turn US aside until it is accom-
plished."
The Presidents letter, dated March
Is, follows:
'In reply to your letter of March
IL may L not say that you are per-
fectly safe in using the words which
you quote from my messages as ex-
pressing my unaltered thought and
unbroken purpose. 1t always is our
| duty to find out what the expression
of desire for peace from our op-
ponents really means, but unless II
means complete and convincing
program of justice upon which last
ing peace can really rest (and we have
had as yet no evidence that it means
anything of that kind) 1t means moth
ing"
The Presidents letter will be read
from all Methodist pulpits in the
country on April Z and the nationa
war council announces that all Meth.
odist ministers have been urged tt
use it as "a basis of a new and hearty
backing of the President in the wal
and for the smoking out of all paci

Sam Schepps and two other men
who were with him when the police
visited Schepps' jewelry> shop in
Sixth avenue, were taken into custody
a few hours after the shooting.
They were hurried to the district
attorneys office.
The police said Schepps place, es-
tablished after the Rosenthal shooting
and the convictions that resulted, has
recently been under their observa-
ton.
Mr.. Smith said he assumed the
gamblers had planned to fleece a
prospective victim through their
crooked methods this afternoon and
that Cohen, having learned of it, pur-
posed to give the district attorney in
formation that would lead to raid
at the proper time. The gamblers
learned of Cohen's intention, Mr..
Smith surmised, and forestalled it by
killing him.
One phase of interest to the police
is a statement made by the negro hall
boy that he saw money passed be-
tween Cohen and the man who shot
him, as they stood in the lobby. The
boy was not certain which man re-
ceived the money.
The authorities believed "Yot' was
a contraction for "Yotsky," an East
Side term applied to distinguish him
from other Harry Cohens living in
the district.
At the district attorneys office
Schepps and the others were ques-
toned regarding Cohen. Beforehand
while he had heard of Cohen, he had
no connection with him, as he,
Schepps, had been out Of touch with
gambling and the under world for
three years.
Schepps was one of the picturesque
figures Of the Rosentha1 murder case.
He was an associate of the four gun
men who paid the death penalty IN
the electric chair for the Rosenthal
murder.
MIR. Smith said that while he was
aware that Cohen had a police record,
he had not inquired into these ante
cedents for the reason that he did
no. regard 1t as necessary or desir-

Ibeing at all times reliable and val
liable.
Information that the gamblers whom
the district attorney is fighting had
gun men ready to kill any person who
played the role of informer was placed
in Mr. Swann's possession on satur-
day night, the prosecutor announced.

Swami, "a man whose identity I can

ACID POISONING!

The most eminent physicians rec

system is the cause of gout and
rheumatism, that this uric acid pois-

analysis at the lnvalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute in Buffalo, n. Y,
DR.. Pierce discovered a combination
of native remedies that he called
An-u-ric, which drives out the uric
acid from the system, and i'll this
way the pain, swelling and irAam-

find many times more potent than

Heal Skin Diseases

1t is unnecessary for you to suffer with
eczema, blotches, ringvorm, rashes and
similar skin troubles. A little zemo.
obtained at any drug store for CSC, or
SlO0 for extra large bottle, and promptly
applied will usually give instant relief
from itching torture. It cleanses and
soothes the skin and heals quickly and
effectively most skin diseases.
Zemo is a wonderful, penetrating, dis
appearing liquid and is soothing to the
most delicate skin. 1t is not greasy, is
easily applied and costs little. Get i
