GREAT CROWD HEARS KELSEY, Y WORKER,
SOUND CALL TO ARMS FOR NEXT WAR"

go have begun to inquire about these
Children"
"One OF the biggest reasons I want
ed TO go overseas with the Y. NJ. c. A.
was that IL had had boys of my own
over there I should have liked them
TO have a mother like Mrs. Kelsey,
added Kelsey. which brought to mind
the tragic story which spurred on
their determination to go overseas.
Lost Own Sons.
Three years ago. in Oskaloosa,
Iowa. their two little sons, one 8, the
other il years old. their only boys.
were drowned in each others arms.
Immediately Mrs. Kelsey had said
that she was going over 10 help 9TH
er mothers boys If she couldn't have
her own.
Il thought that out Of the great
struggle over there. there must come
a greater conception Of God. Having
been there and seen. ] believe that
what the world needs today is TO dis
tinguish between the idea Of the war
lord God, in the early history of Is
real, and the perfect idea of life as
given by Jesus Christ. Surely some
where, among some people, there has
been a wrong conception of God, or
we should not nave mad tnlS war.

| ST. Nazaire, where we were first To-
Gated, in charge of the canteen and
other lines of activities; in the great
/ hospitals, we built up Sunday evening
| services which were attended by over
10000 soldiers; then we went to a.
great aviation camp, and there the
men come out to the services by the
! thousands, and at Coblenz, in the area
of occupation, we had $4,000 at our
religious meetings.
There were very few chaplains in
that area, and thousands and thous-
ands of men would never have heard
the story of Jesus Christ, If it hadn't
been for the great work of the Y. NJ.
c. A. That great Fest hall in Coblenz
used to be SO crowded that hundreds
of men couldn't get in.
I've found there's a tremendous
amount of good in everybody. In the
whole American army | did not find
one man who was wholly, preverse-
ly bad" said Kelsey.
Il am glad for the concentration of
detectives which made many of our

victions, but / met many Quaker boys
in the A E F. wearing the uniform
of Uncle Sam, as those who had con-
scientious scrupules against fighting.

Mexican Senators Applaud
When Carranza's Message
Scores League of Nations

MEXICO CITY. Sept. 29.-Study Of
President CarranZa's message to con-
gress on September l brings into
prominence several sections of the
address which were oyershadowed at
first.
One of the longest sections was con-
tributed by the department of Com
merce and Industry which has charge
of petroleum and mining matters
Lengthy reference is made to the diff
ferences of opinion existing between
the Mexican government and the Pc
troleum companies as to their respec-
tive rights and the direct charge is
made that a group of disgruntled COM
panies had established IAN office out
side Mexico for the special purpose
of spreading false and exaggerated
statements concerning the policies or
the Mexican government in respect
to petroleum." Not all petroleum COM
panies are open to this charge, says
the message.

says portion of the message dealing
with the department of war, and as
surances can be given that only a
few unimportant groups of bandits
are operating in some states of the
republic. They are constantly being
hunted and beaten by the federal
forces and their auxiliaries.
Members of congress showed most
interest in that part of the message
dealing with the relations with the
United States. When the president
alluded to Mexico's willingness to join
the league of nations. and her deter
mination not to recognize the Mon
roe Doctrine, senators and deputies
annlauded loudly.
