when Christian mothers and daugh-

all that has been done in the name of

Read What the Government Says About Religious Organ
nations Which Oppose the War Work By Withholding
Contributions an d
Opposing the Laws
That Protect Them:

In response to letter from post
master stating that residents of a
particular community declined to buy
war savings stamps on the grounds
of belonging to a religious organize
ton which opposes war, the following
letter has been sent out by the Post
Office Inspection Service:
"Our government is a democracy,
of the people, by the people and for
the people, and the people of your
community, of whatever religious pur-
suasion, are a portion of that people
who constitute this government, each
having voice in determining it's poll
cies. The policies of a democracy are
determined, and properly so, by ma
jority of the electorate, and when in
it's wisdom and it's patriotism that
majority has decided by proper me-
, thods and has spoken in legal and
proper manner, every loyal member of
the minority should become one with
the majority and do all in his power
to carry out the policies decreed by
the majority. Permit me to suggest
that any other course, be it only luke
warm Indifference, in the present
situation is giving aid and comfort to
the enemy in a negative, but very eff
fective way.
The principal corner stone of this
government is guarantee of political
and religious liberty to every citizen,
and every citizen is protected fully in
the privilege of worshipping God ac-
cording to his views and the dictates
of the international Bible Students as

tanic unprecedented struggle in the
cause of that liberty so dearly priced,
so complacently enjoyed, that it may
continue, and may be extended to the
oppressed of other Christian lands
whose people have suffered so griev-
ously under the iron heel of tyranny
which so direfully threatens to enslave
the civilized world.
while our government, in it's great
desire to demonstrate to the full the
widest religious liberty and exercise
thereof according to individual con-
science, has declared that those mem

DR.. Warbasse to Fight
For Reinstatement
Denounces Action of Medical
Society as Questioning
His Loyalty

DR.. James P. Warbasse, OF 3s4 Wash
ington Avenue, Brooklyn, announced
yesterday that he intended to fight the
action of the Kings County Medical
Society, which voted to drop him from
the roster of the organization on Tues
day. The society's action was prompted
by letter written by DR.. Warbasse
opposing Senator Chamberlain's bill
for compulsory military training and
sent to the editor of "The Long Island
Medical Journal"
The letter was branded as an insult
to the medical profession. DR.. War
basse, who is a brother of Charles S.
Warbasse, Republican leader in the
9th Assembly District, declared, how
ever that he had merely marshaled the
arguments against the Chamberlain
bill and that he is, in fact, an ardent
supporter of President Wilson and all
the latter's policies.
IN discussing the action of the So
cYety, DR.. Warbasse said he would i'm
mediately ask for a hearing and at
tempt to have the organization revoke
its action. "The implication was
made" said DR.. Warbasse, "that I was
guilty of disloyalty. Now, l want it
distinctly understood that I am abso-
lutely in sympathy with President Will
son and his democratic aims and that
nobody desires more than l the de-
struction of German autocracy."

Chop Suey Places
Lay Troubles to
Tips to Walters

The walters tip is to blame for the
trouble between the once staid and
c-eanly Chinese chop suey restaurant
and District Attorney Swami. accord
ing to Lee B. Lok, representative of
Quong. Yuen, Shing & Co.. of
81 Mott Street. one of the cooperative
concerns that own a chain of chop
stick emporiums. Mr. Lee had a talk
with Assistant District Attorney Smith
yesterday about the thirty chop suey
places visited by the prosecutor and
the police last Sunday.
MANY of the places were serving
whiskey and beer to customers after
hours" said Mr. Lee. "The managers
thought they. were not violating the
law lhey have not encouraged the
practice. The trouble started with the
walters. Ali Chinese walters have been
taught by Americans to expect a tip.
lhey are almost as much enslaved as
white walters. That means they will
do anything for tip, even to going
outside for liquor for their patrons"
Mr.. Lee arranged with Mr.. Smith to
have the managers of all the raided
restaurants appear in person in the
prosecutors office to-day. Mr.. Smith
said that did not mean there was to
be any compromise" of the complaints,
which charge them with maintaining
public nuisance"

place She told Mr. Smith that con-
ditions are decidedly bad. Liquor is
served to girls under twenty-one in
even the best hotel parlors, she said.
She gave information to Mr. Smith par
ticularly about a large and popular
public dancing establishment in the
vicinity of Forty-hfth Street, where.
