The NATION WIDE CAMPAIGN
OF THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH

The Episcopal Church in the
United States must take a leai
from. the book Of strategy of the
victorious allied generals in
France if its Nation Wide Cam.
paign is to be victorious.
This, in effect, is the message
of a former chaplain, the Rev.
DR.. George Craig Stewart.
THE Nation Wide Campaign, "
DR.. Stewart said, must be
waged as a general would wage
his campaign, as the command
ing officers of the allied armies
waged their campaigns on the
other side.
II have stood more than once
in the front lines, watching an
aeroplane swoop overhead, upon
it the black cross of Germany.
We in the lines paid little atten-
ton to it, for we knew it was not
a bombing plane. But half a
dozen French planes, and in
Vulnerable anti-aircraft guns
were paying a great deal of at
tention to it. Why? Because it
was the eye of the German army.
1t was making a survey of the
whole field, ascertaining weak
spots and strong. To the allies
this plane was a greater menace
than a bombing plane would have
been.
THAT is what the Nation
Wide Campaign has been doing
as its first step-making a survey
of the whole field in which the
Church is fighting, ascertaining
the weak spots and the strong.
This survey, built up from parish
to diocese, until it records every
detail, reveals the entire situation
is vital to the Campaign; it de-
termines the plan.
From the survey we learn
that the line of the Church is
strong in one place. that here
are gathered the munitions, the
means for expanding the work
of the Church. And we learn
that over here are churches that
are going ahead with almost no.
thing, workers who have little
to keep them strong enough to
hold the ground they have gained
or to take a step forward for the
winning of new terrain. Yet
these workers, these little mis-
sion churches, are at strategic
points.
81 was with a general, in
France, at his headquarters one
day. He took up the telephone
and ordered Bordeaux to forward
40, 900 bales of hay to a French
position.
The man at the other end
must have protested; indeed the
general explained to me later he
had urged the need of the army
horses at Bordeaux. His protest
was overruled. These French
men are holding a strategic point,
the General said in reply. They
must have the necessary supplies.
| don't care if you have to drown
your horses at Bordeaux in the
sea-
And so the Church must get
the supplies from the strong
points to the weak. The strat,-
gic points must be held and they
cannot be held without equip
ment.
And when the needs of these
points have been made clear, we
must make ready for battle. The
campaign is on. We must begin
with a great barrage of education
of speakers, information men,
five-minute men, literature. The
barrage must destroy prejudice
and opposition and ignorance.
For all these are in the Church.

LEGION WILL
 STOP SPEECH
 BY ACITATORS
CContinued From Page One.)

AE .
 In Philadelphia the American Le- zion protested against allowing Rev. MT. Tucker to talk. A permit had been issued by the police but the Legion prevailed on the owners of the hall in which he was to speak to revoke the lease of the hall. MT Fuckers friends procured another hall. but the police then refused to grant a permit and there was no lec- ture.
 The Legion also prevented the lec- ture in Reading and other cities.
 Attorney Cronin says that the du- ties of the Vigilance committee of which he is chairman is to prevent unpatriottc utterances and activities of radicals and that he has been in formed that the proposed lecture is very unpatriotic. He has taken the matter up with the police and is as sured of their support.
 According to Assistant >Superintend- ent of Police Suckley no permit has been issued for the meeting and after hearing the protest of the Legion off cials he has promised that none will be issued.
 If an attempt is made to delivet the lecture without a permit the po- lice will prevent it.

STRINGENT ARE:
 REGULATIONS ON
 BITljnaINOUS GOAL
Regional Fuel Committees Are Taking Charge of
 Stocks.

Chicago, Dec. 1.---Further stringent z .ulations for conservation of fuel supplies, made necessary by the strike Of bituminOus coal miners who have now been idle a month, were in effect today over virtually the entire coun- try between Ohio and the Rocky Mountains and from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico.
 Regional fuel committees took con- troI of coal stocks in many states and On-essential industries continued to close down because of lack of fuel, while the hours for operating stores, theatres and office buildings were cur tailed.
 In Kansas City, Mo, and Omaha and Lincoln, Neb., all schools were closed today, and officials of many other cities discussed the advisabil- ity of closing the schools until the fuel shortage is relieved.
 Reports today from the large bitu- minous fields of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania gave no as surance that the union miners in tended to accept the offer of an in crease of II per cent in wages made by the federal fuel administration. Neither was there any indication that local settlements would be effected between miners and operators.

URGE AMERICAN DELEGATES ID
 DELAY RETURN
Think Departure Would In dicate. Abandonment of
 Conference.

Paris, Dec. J-The French repre- sentat!ves in the peace conference are urging the American delegates to delay their departure for home until the protocol is signed putting into eff feet the peace treaty with Germany, 1t was learned today.
 Although today was the date set for the exchange of notifications of the treaty, no definite news was at hand regarding the intentions of the Germans as to the signing of the pro tocol in which they are expected to guarantee in the carrying out of the armistice terms.
 The supreme council this morning adopted the terms of the reply to recent German note regarding prison CTS of war The contents of the note however, were not given out.
 The feeling in French circles which is shared in by some Of the other delegations, is that the depar. ture of the American delegates at this time would be misinterpreted in Ger. many as sort of abandonment oi. the conference. although it would in no way change the relation of tha United States toward that body.

 The Mexican government may con tend that the Imprisonment of the victim is necessary for the investiga- tion by a judge under the constant vigilance of public opinion of the truth regarding his abduction and that a right of release in bail is a palliative for such wrongful impris- onment, but the United States is con- strained to the opinion that such ar gumeEts are mere excuses.

STEEL STRIKER KILLED SHERIFF
 BADLY HURT
Mob of Strikers Have Bad Clash With Sherif's
 Posse.

Wheeling, w. Va, Dec. IA steel striker was killed, Sheriff E. Clayton of Marshall County shot and seriously wounded, and a deputy and another striker suffered gunshOt wounds in a riot when a, mob of strikers and their sympathizers clashed with sheriff $ posse at the gates of the Riverside mill of the National Tube Co.,, at Benwood, near here, this morning.
 Sheriff Clayton, with five deputies, was summoned when the Benwood authorities were unable to handle the crowd, which, they said, was at- tempting to prevent workmen from entering the plant.
 The sheriff attempted to arrest the leader of the mob and was fired at by one of the rioters. The sheriff fired at his assailant and this was followed by a voIley of shots by mem- bers of the mob.
 When the posse had driven back the mob Natto Baron, one of the strikers, was found dead in the street, Sheriff Clayton lay nearby, shot through the back. Deputy Sheriff D. D. McCardell and John Muharnow, another striker, also were shot, At a hospital here where Clayton was brought it was said his condition was critical.

at the hands of Mexican authorities any approximation to impartial treat ment of Jenkins and the Mexican gov ernment knows the absence of such treatment is the reason for the Ameri- can request.
 ''The Mexican government main tains that it cannot grant the request of the United States for Jenkins re- lease for the reason that under inter national laws no diplomatic fnterven- tion is appropriate unless a denial of justice has occurred and because the Merican government is not in a posi- ton to demand Jenkins release in view of the separation of the execu- tive and Judicial powers under the Mexican form of government and the independence of the state courts. bv one of which Jenkins is held.
