WITH PRESIDENT IN WAR

Members of the German branch of

imputations against their American
ism. And they have not let their
resentment shoulder, but have
swept away suspicion by unequiyo-
cal action. The superintendents of
the ten German-speaking conferen-
ces of the church, assembled in Des
Moines, Ia. have issued a state
ment explicitly announcing that
their organization is not playing
politics in the interest Of any for
eign potentate," and ending with
these fine words:
I'VE hereby pledge the president
OF the United States that we will not
only stand by him, but travel with
him, in the complete patriotic pro-
gram of the government, until the
military power OF the German gov
ernment is defeated and permanent
peace is assured on the basis OF
Righteousness. without mental res
ervation, we pledge our powers and
our efforts to the dissemination oi
light on the subject Of right-think.
