TO CIVIL LIFE
Director General of Emergency Fleet
Corporation Finishes Term
of Office in Ship Build
ing Program.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
PHILADELPHIA, May 1.-Charles
Z. Piez, director general of the EN-
ergency Fleet corporation, today goes
Lack to civil life. His term Of office
as a war worker expired last night.
II have, finished my term and can
say what / please" Piez declared at
the farewell dinner last night, attend
ed by ship builders from all parts of
the country. With this preface he at
tackled the recently announced policy
Of Edward n. Hurley, chairman of the
skipping board which cancel contracts
for more than a million tons of ship
ping.
Piez expressed his opinion that be-
fore such cancellations were ordered
al opportunity should be had to sell
The surplus tonnage to the navy yards.
Fears for the future of many thous-
ands of men made jobless by the ton
mage cancellation were expressed.
1--WE should continue to build ships
with the privilege of selling u sur
plus rather than scrapping the work
thus far DONE" Piez said.
Piez declared himself in favor Of
an eight hour work day and expressed
the opinion that congress should give
its unanimous endors ement.'
Future wars will demand the en-
tire rebuilding of the ship-yard facili-
ties that will be lost under such a
POLICY" he added. ITO replace what
we are scuttling now will mean an ex-
penditure in the future of SlS.00O,0 o0,-
600. It will cost us more in the com
ing year to cancel our contracts than
we will save"
The guests united in an appeal 10
be sent by cable to President wilson
10 prevent cancellations and to lift
the ban against building for foreign
orders in the yards here.

CHURCH
AIDS TRINITY
First Christian Prayer Meeting Ad-
Iourns in a Body to the Evan
o~elistic Services a Block
Away.

One of the pleasing features OF the
evangelistic services at the Trinity
Methodist church last night was the
presence of Rev. Huell Warren, who
in the spirit If fraternity dismissed
his prayer meeting service and with
those in attendance came in a body
to the meeting. Pastor Nethercutt
voiced the sentiment of the congre-
cation in appropriate words Of appre-
citation.
The text last night a "Let him
know that .he that c%onverteth a sin
ner from the error of his way shall
save a soul from death" In his in
%troductory remarks, the preacher
told the incident of a faithfuls shep-
herd dog who at the command OF
her master bravely faced the storm
in gathering up the scattered sheep
and died soon after the last one
was in the fold, and wildly and
forcefully emphasized the duty of
men to be even greater in fidelity to
the voice of the Christ. "If the work
of soul saving is the supreme bust
ness of the church, then the church
that does not save souls is not
worthy of the name he said. He
spoke of the worth of a soul as being
beyond monetary value, and argued
that under the most degraded e
terror appearance God sees the great
possibilities of SOUL life.
He then asked, What is the death
of the soul? Not determination of
being, but separation from God, sepa-
ration from mercy, separation from
heaven and loved ones. God has
sprinkled His word as thickly with
the word Of mercy as He has sprin-
killed. the vaulted heavens with stars"
He referred to the statement made
by Abraham to the rich man, There
is a great gulf fixed which no man
can pass" and said this gulf often
begins here and widens: the wife. it
may be, drawing nearer to God, and
the husband going farther away from
God or parent and child, and this
gulf continues to widen between
members of the same family until in
death it becomes impassably fixed.
The theme for tonight will be
Paradise Lost; tomorrow night,
Paradise Regained," and tomorrow
afternoon, THE Victory of Love"

quarrels and antagonisms and bring
war instead Of the promised peace to
the world
MANY people who have been in favor
Of the league" continued Senator Poin-
dexter, "disapprove of nearly every
thing that the league has done. The
nations acting together in the pence
conference at Paris constitute the
same nations, represented in the same
way, as the league of nations.
Against Shantung Pact
"Many people regard as dishonorable
and wicked the action Of these nations
in the league at the peace conference
giving Japan control of Shantung
They do not like the proposal to give
Greek settlements to our enemy Bull
garia, as advocated by our representa-
tvcs in the conference, and yet they
advocate the league of nations, pre-
sumably because they think that while
it does wicked things in its inception
and formation at some time in the
future. by some process of regenera-
ton, it will do good things. The good
things that it will do in the future are
purely imaginary, while the bad things
that it has done and is doing in the
present are actual.
"a former Attorney General of the
United States. infected with the league
Of nation disease, says we must sign
the league without amendment, and
then appeal to the league for the pro
lection of American institutions. The
man who advises the surrender OF
American institutions to foreign con-
troll and the dependence upon the good
graces of that foreign control for the
protection OF Anne rcan institutions is
traitor to his country.
"Thc cry of partisanship is raised as
though the defence Of the Constitution
and Of the Independence Of this nation
were partisanship; while the proposal
to transfer to Europe and Asia the con
tto! Of our foreign relations by some
process OF political party reasoning is
said to be entirely non partisan, al
though nine-tcnths Of those who advo-

delegation regarding the Austrian

for it to take any steps regarding the
