A WAR CRY

They were not conscientious OBJ
jectors.
Religious conviction has not held
them back. Instead it has made OF
them a great fighting army, fighting
in war and peace alike for clearer
spiritual vision and bodily comfort for
the poor.
The Salvation Army has grasped a
fact that has made its power double.
1t has realized that man has bet
ter chance of being better, the better
he feels. 1t is hard 'to love thy
neighbor" when man can't get a
job and his children are hungry.
We all know about the apple pies
and the doughnuts they gave our boys
at the front. But these workers will
not stop with the signing of the Peace
Treaty. "The poor you always have
with you" and there are still souls to
fight for.
Boone County and Columbia are
being given their chance to help in
the fight. Can we afford to turn a
deaf ear?

FRANK LOWE IS ORDAINED
Dean G. d. Edwards of Columbia Con.
Quoted Services In Kansas CITY.

Mondays Kansas City Journal has
the following to say of services in that
city last Sunday when Frank M. Lowe,
Jr., was ordained:
The feature of the morning service
yesterday at the independence Boule-
ward Christian church was the ordina-
ton service of Frank Lowe, Jr., 521
Benton boulevard, son of Frank M.
Lowe, an attorney. The service was
conducted by Dean Granville D. Ed
wards of the Bible College of Missouri
at Columbia, assisted by the Rev.
George Hamilton Combs, pastor of the
church, Of which Mr.. Lowe has been a
member for twelve years.
Mr.. Lowe has been identified ac-
lively with religious work in Kansas
City since 1910 when he became presi-
dent of the third district of the Mis-
souri, Christian Endeavor Union. Aft
er serving successfully as president of
the Kansas City local union of Chris
tian Endeavor and as state president
for two years he volunteered for full
time Christian service in the fall of
1914. In the following January he ac-
cepted call to become field secre-
tary of the Missouri Christian En-
leavor union. The following year he
became national field secretary of
young peoples work for the Disciples
of Christ
A year and half later this posi-
tion was relinquished for further re-
ligious training at the Bible College
of the University of Missouri.
Dean Edwards spoke highly of Mr.
loves record in school He completed

high honors. For three years success
sively he represented Missouri Uni
versity in intercollegiate debate, win

the graduate school at Harvard in the
fall.

PEDESTRIANS, RIGHTS

Feet were put in this world before
automobiles, flivvers and traffic laws
were ever dreamed of. Let the pedes-
trian live and walk even if he has
no automobile. Surely sturdy pair
of live legs mean as much before the
law as do four wheels.
The automobilist can have the ad-
vantage in the middle of the block
in preference to the pedestrian. Side
walks run parallel with the street on
both sides. There is no reason for
the automobilist using the whole road
nor is it sensible for the foot passen-
ger to dash across the street in the
middle of the block. No one has a
legal right to cross streets except at
corners and at the end of each block.
Accidents happening between blocks
are unavoidable as far as the car
driver is concerned and are nearly
always the result of the pedestrians
carelessness.
The street corner crossing belongs
to tn pedestrian. If necessary the car
driver must come to a halt here to
prevent striking him. The walker
must cross the street somewhere. Let
him have ample protection here.
If this ruling is acceptable and
workable in Europe why not put it
into effect in America right here in
Columbia? 1t would clearly define
the sphere where each is within his
right. 1t would do away with much
misunderstanding. Many accidents
would be prevented, and better feel
ing between car dodgers and car
owners would exist.

Street car traffic was tied up in
Cleveland, o., yesterday for the second
time in eight months, when approx
imately $500 motormen and conduc-
tors of the Cleveland Street Railway
Company went on strike to enforce
their demands for a wage increase of
12 cents an hour. Several attempts
were made to start cars, but in most
cases they were unsuccessful, owing
to stoning and wire cutting by strik-
ers or sympathizers.

Yesterdays Late News

American womanhood's part in win.
ming the war is shown with startling
emphasis in report made public to-
day by the American Red Cross. Com
plete figures of chapter production
dealing with the thirteen division OF
the Red Cross in the United States
show that the estimated 100000 vol
unteer women workers produced 1884,
S6S,S55 articles valued at $S1 ,449,997 in
the eighteen months preceding jan
uary 1, 1919.
In producing this volume of sup
plies for Americas fighting forces and
for relief of people in the war-swept
countries it is estimated that these
patriotic women put in nearly 300,-
100000 hours, the equivalent of the
entire working time for one year of
125,O0O men.
The report deals with the 149
standardized articles produced by the
women workers, there being no way
of discriminating the value or time
consumed in the production of mil
lions of articles of miscellaneous
character. Not the least important
of the labors of the Red Cross indus
trial army has been the reclamation
of clothing and equipment for the
army, approximately 100000 arti-
cles, including shirts, underwear,
socks, blankets, ETC., having been re-
paired in chapter workrooms during
the last six months of last year.
Extensive offices of the League for
the Preservation of American Inde-
pendence, of which Col. Henry Waiter
ton, the veteran editor, is president,
have just been opened in Washington,
for the purpose, it is announced, "of
nationwide effort to acquaint the peo-
pie with the real meaning and effect
Of the Paris plan for League of Ma
IONS"
1t is believed by the Independence
League officers that the Paris cove
1ant for League of Nations will be
rejected, once its serious features are
understood.
1t is claimed by them that "article
10" ought to be eliminated entirely,
because, they say, it binds the United
States to use it's armed forces to pro-
ect some forty odd states in Europe,
Asia and Africa, from outside attack.
Criticism is also directed by them
lgainst the plan of having the United
States compelled to obtain the permis-
lion of the representatives of foreign
states before being allowed to increase
he size of its army or navy.
