ON A MISSION
TO BELGIUM

John R Pepper, for many years
superintendent of the First Metho-
dist Sunday School and one of the
leading laymen of Southern Meth
odism, will sail for Europe on
August 29. Mr.. Pepper is one of
five delegates who have been
named by the board of missions of
the Southern Methodist Church to
investigate reconstruction needsi in
the devastated regions of Europe.
Thirty American denominations
have united to rehabilitate the re-
ligious and educational institution
of Europe, which have suffered SO
heavily during the past five years.
Belgium has been assigned to
Southern Methodism as a special
field of endeavor.
Mr.. Pepper explained the gener
al purpose of his mission last night
at the first Methodist Church.
The delegation of which he is a
member will conduct a thorough
survey of the social, religious and
educational needs of the brave
little country that held the Ger
man hordes at bay FIVE years ago.
A programme of rehabilitation
will be outlined and recommends
tions made for the expenditure of
money to aid the Belgiums in
building up their war torn coun-
try.
Particular attention will be
paid to rebuilding the Protestant
churches and schools of Belgium,
most of which were destroyed by
the Germans during their occupa-
ton of the country.
Mr.. Pepper explained that the
mission was not going to Belgium
to enhance ecclesiastic prestige,
but to be of genuine and impair
tial service to the people of that
country, who deserve so much of
the world.
Southern Methodism will also
assist in the rehabilitation of parts
of Poland, Czecho-Slovakia, South
Central Russia and Portugal

THE PROTEST
OF CARRANZA

The protest of the Mexican Gov
ernment against alleged invasion
of that country by United States
troops is very much of farce, but
fair exposition of the Carranza
attitude, says the Nashville BaH-
ner. He has no sense of proper
ton, and makes himself ridiculous
by assumed dignity and import
auce that he can not sustain.
Carranza knows all of the condi-
tions wellenough. He knows that
the United States has committed
no act of unfriendliness towards
Mexico, and does not intend to.
He knows that he has no power to
quell lawlessness on the border,
and that the incident at Candelaria
was beyond endurance. He refus-
ses to recognize the common sense
conditions and thereby puts him.
self in the position Of defending
the brigands.
He does not appear TO have made
any sort OF effort TO npprthend the
brigapds who seized American
army officers and held them for
ransom, and has made no apology
or promise of reparation for that
grave offense; but he sends strong
protest to Washington as the head
of frst-class power would do con-
cerning a gross and nncalled for
international breach.
He showed like umbrage when
the United States soldiers crossed
the river at Juarez and drove away
the Villa forces attacking the town
when his own soldiers there were
unable to resist.
1t is said at Washington that no
notice will be taken of the Mexican
protest until the troops now III
Mexico have fulfilled their mission
and Withdrawn. The answer made
then should be one that will force
au acknowledgment of the situa-
tion.
The Mexican Government must
be made TO know that if it can not
keep its brigands away from the
border the United States will, and
furthermore that the lives and
property of foreigners in Mexico
must everywhere be made secure.
| No good can come of temporiz-
ing with Mexico any longer. They
need down there to be impressed
with the idea that this country is
seriously earnest in what it says
and is amply able to make good it's
demands. The conditions have
passed tolerance, and the longer
this country dallips the worse they
grow.

4. F.OFI. BACK OF
BOSTON POLICEMEN,
SAYS GUS OYSTER
tBy Associated Pressl

BOSTON, Sept. 18.-A statement by
Guy Oyster, secretary to President
Samuel Gompers, of the American
Federation of Labor, that the fedora
ton stood solidly behind the striking
Boston policemen, coupled with his
earlier intimation that he did not
favor general strike at thi time, left
the public in the dark today as to the
next move of organized labor to aid
the policemen in their fight for union
recognition.
Oyster declared the policemen were
fighting to maintain their constitu-
tional rights as American citizens to
belong to any organization that would
try to better their own economic con-
ditions. He had earlier issued a state
ment in which he asserted the men
were not to blame for the disorder of
the first few days of the strike and
condemned the authorities for work
ing conditions in the department. The
policemen, he declared, were forced
to organize in order to be heard.
Balloting on the question of sup
porting the police continued today
among local unions.
