THE NATIONWIDE CAMPAIGN
OF THE EPISCOPAL
! CHURCH.

The Rev. Mr.. Berkeley Of ST.
Paul's Church, New Orleans, and
the Very Rev. Mr.. Cummins, Of
Christ Cathedral. New Orleans,
were at the Episcopal church. on
Wednesday afternoon and night
for the purpose Of inaugurating
the Nationwide Campaign. They
are both able and fluent speakers
and handled their subjects in a
masterful manner. They said
that this Campaign has been
launched all over the United
States for the purpose of bring
ing the church to greater degree
of prayer, service. and sacrifice.
Also to give the church such t.
.nancial assistance as to fully
equip it for the work before it, on
the same basis Of efficiency as the
great business houses Of the coun-
try are and as are also the great
armies of the world. They needed
equipment for their work, the
work had to be done, and they re-
ceived the equipment for the
same. The church needs equip
ment. its work is absolutely nec-
essary for civilization. and she
must receive this equipment. The
only way to really get this stan
dard of efficiency for the crying
needs Of civilization to-day is for
the personnel Of the church to de-
vote itself to a greater degree Of
prayer, service, sacrifice, and t.
use more business like methods i,
the pursuance of its various ac-
tivities.
The Parish has been divided up
into committees and sub-commit-
tees for the purpose Of presenting
the question before the various
members Of the church, making
personal visits. house to house can
vases, and distributing devo-
tional literature.
1t was first thought that the
church would ask for one hundred
and fifty million dollars to be
paid in three years; then sixty
nine millions; finally by a direct
canvass of the needs of the church,
as expressed and sent into the cen.
tral committee by the bishops and
clergy from all over the country,
it was ascertained that the real
need for effective equipment Of
the church is forty-two million
dollars.
Sunday. December 7th, has been
set for the drive, when it is hoped
that every member every where
in the church viii be reached.
Mr.. Berkeley and Dean Cum
Minis went from here to Houma
then to Lafayette, returning td
New Orleans this morning. .-

Christmas trees dollar a foot-and dad used to go out and cut one down or. at most. pay ? or 50 cents for.the hitherto indispensable center of the holiday celebration. He could scarcely buy twig now for that sum.
 The war-that overworked and om- ni-present excuse-is to blame for this latest tragedy. Pine trees. and par ticularly spruce trees. were cut in such abundane for airplanes and other war purposes-according to this expiana- tion-that there is a general disin- Christmas use.
 And even holly branches will be scarce and high. Surely, you say. this cant be blamed on the war, too. Holly wasn't used to build airplanes or ships or barracks or anything else that per tained to war. No, it wasn't. But there's an excuse ready. nevertheless. Holly trees, say the dealers, grow chiefly in the south, and they have been cut in recent years to such an extent that they are very scarce
 So even holly will suddenly soar in price this Christmas. and the bright green leaves and brighter red berries which are so closely associated with holiday cheer, will be lacking in most homes.
 We can't think of Santa as prof lIeeT. santa must De d NlclliIs Just dS the children are. For there's nothing in common between our memories of Santa and the profiteer of today There's mutual ground between the patron saint of childhood-the disciple of giving unto others. the advocate of good cheer@and the man who raises prices simply because he can get more, who capitaliZes want, who coins hunger, who brings riches out of nee- essity.
 The memory of Santa-even with Christmas trees at a dollar foot must still remain pure and undefiled. WHEN WE'RE DOWN WE'RE UP

domestic production is vastly more valu-

AN OPEN LETTER
To the Hon. George E. Chamberlain:


Strive take the liberty of addressing
you upon matter of the utmost import
I ance to our country and our soldiers
fist, because you are Chairman of the
Military Affairs Committee Of the Sen
ate and, secondly, because the people
have learned from experience that they
must look to you, and not to the War de-
partment, for the truth.
Vicious rumOrS, as all know, follow inn
variably upon the conclusion especially
the successful conclusion, of great war.
Our recent experience, as you must be
aware, affords no exception. Within
week after the armistice was signed hate
full gossip held full sway in Paris and has.
since with the return of troops, gained
Widespread circulation in this country.
until now we have scrupulously refrain
ed from so much as limiting at happenings
which bore semblance of reality but
whose mere mention might inflict griev-
Gus wrong upon individuals.
We do not speak now of loss of lives
Through failure to support unframed
men sent to battle. General Foch lament
led such proceedings at the outset and
General Pershing attested the facts in his
report. You yourself declared: "God on
ly knows how many lives have been USE
lessly sacrificed by our unprepared-
ness" We assume that due inquiry will
reveal the extent of and the necessity or
lack of necessity for those losses.
But it is not the failure to provide for
fighting that we have in mind; it is the
fighting itself; the management of it;
the orders for it; the cause of it.
Here is an example: The order was
issued to cease firing at IL o'clock on
November IL. All officers in command
were so informed hours before. Both
the British and the French stopped fight
ing Immediately. The Ameicans contin-
ued and necessarily the enemy opposed to
them did likewise to the last minute. Not
only was our artillery kept in action, but
our infaotry was sent Eve the top into
a hell of machine gun fire all that fore
noon. Hundreds of lives were wantonly
sacrificed to no military purpose what
ever.
This is one of the stoies we hear and
we believe it to be true. The Associated
Press reported the American action at
the time, but the Information attracted
no attention because it was taken for
granted that the British and the French
were also engaged. 1t seems that they
were not.
Why the Americans alone? For what
reason? By whose orders? For whose
benefit?
Replying to charge to this effect from
Governor Allen of Kansas, the Secretary
of War produced figures showing that
the percentage of losses "from the time
of landing in France till November z"
was not excessive. That was like him.
What about after November z? What
about November IL? Why should sim
gle life have been sacrificed, a single
shot fired, on that last morning?
The country, sir, must know; the faith
