PALM SUNDAY T0
 bE OBSERVED IN
 LOCAL CHURCHES
Christians Will Be Asked to Acknowledge" Their AL legiance-Look for Many New Members at Easter

Palm Sunday will be quite generally observed in the Sunday schools and churches of the city as Acknowledge ment Sunday" with the evangelistic note of the message of the churches stressed, according to an announce ment made by the Interchurch World Movement.
 Members of the Sunday schools, and persons who are protesting Christians, without being affiliated with the churches as members, will be given an opportunity to '-ackhoWledge' their al- legiance at the services tomorrow and 10 declare their intention of becoming actively connected with the church or sanizations. Next Sunday, Easter, which has been termed ''Join the Church Sunday will witness the larg- est accession of members to the church membership rolls that has ever taken place on any one day, in the opinion of church leaders.
 All of next week, which in church circles is known as Holy Week, will be marked by special religious ser protestant churches. In many of the cities of the United States, meetings will be held in theaters in the crowded business districts, in accordance with plans promoted by the Interchurch World Movement and the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America and the subsidiary organiza- tions in the cities. A suggested pro- gram issued jointly by these two or ganizations has been sent to church organizations throughout the country.
 The Message
 .Thd full text of the message to the churches is as follows:
 The Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America and the Interchurch World Movement of North America, with the Commission on Evangelism of the constituent forces of America to the proclamation al this time of the glorious evangel of the Son of God in harmony with the right which Christ gave her when He called the church the salt of the earth and the light of the world.
 .The problems which we are facing must be settled through the spirit of brotherhood announcer and erempli- fled by Jesus of Nazareth. The lust Of wealth and power has caused in- dividuals and nations to forget their responsibilities before God.i Human> brotherhood has been ignored and love often turned to hate.
 Let the church bring to every fam fly and individual throughout the church the impelling purpose of the Christian message Humanity pro- gresses from the individual to the null titude. Social movements take on per nianent and compelling power when they are born in the lives and in the service of sconsecrated men. When hatred dies out in the human heart, it will die out among the nations.
 Let the pre-Easter period. which the church is now entering, be one of Eeart searching and let us initiate our Lord in His passion for the souls of men, Now as of old. let Andrew find his brother Peter and bring him to Jesus Let the church dedicate itself without reserve to the ore great pur- pose for which it was organized, so that on Easter day there may be a glorious gathering and a signal tri- umph of the principles of Jesus in individual, and so in social and national life.''

Washington, March 12.-Mors shipping
was saved by keeping tract OF German
submarines and routing vessels clear OF
them than by any other single measure,
Rear Admiral Sims today told the SEN
ate investigating committee.
The admirals statement was in support
of his charge that the navy department
had a fundamental misconception' OF
the problem Of defending home waters
In Keeping American naval forces on this
side Of the Atlantic. rather than by
giving "whole-hearted and vigorous CO.
operation" to the allies
Actual experience has shown" The
witness continued, that we could depend
upon keeping reasonably accurate TRACK
OF all submarines at sea. We were NEt-
tain we would never have to deal with
but one or two submarines at a time on
our own coast and it was possible to
do a great dealt towards providing for
the safety of shipping in our home waters
without the use of any anti-submarfne
craft at ALL"
Admiral Sims presented cabiegrams an
nouncing the departure from Germany
of the first raider for the American codst.
sent more than three weeks before the
vessels appeared In American waters.
The messages he read, he said. were re-
markable for the accuracy with which
every move of the enemy was foretold,
adding that they were founded on aba
lutte information obtained by the British
admiralty. They proved. he argued,
the soundness of his original recommen-
dations to the department that all avail
able forces should be concentrated In Eu-
ropean waters.
1T was, of course. in the German tn
terest.' he said, ito create abroad the
impression that they were about to I'M
dertake submarine attacks upon the
American coast. and it is to be noted
that such rumors were continually en-
culated by German agents I'm Europe Sfd
America for the purpose of influencing
the navy department and to retain craft
on the American side
1.-THE fact that such propaganda was
not without effect on the navy depart
ment was Illustrated by numerous cabfes
from the department mentioning these re-
ports of probable submarine activities on

and letters to support his allegations that

fectfve support in winning the war. HIS
