MOB VIOLENCE
RESULT OF LACK
OF RELIGION
Interchuch World Campaign.
ers Show Court House Fire
As Object Lesson at Sum-
day Mass Meeting.

A colored picture of the Douglas
county court house in flames the
night of September %, 1919. was
among many stereopticon pictures
shown at mass meeting in the
First Presbyterian church yesterday
afternoon in the interest of the In
terchurch World movement.
I'VE are all equally guilty for such
neglect of education and religion as
brought about the mob violence
which Set this court house on fire, -
said the speaker, Ralph Ward, mis-
sionary to China and a worker in
launching the 1nterchurch World
movement by which nearly 40 de-
nominations propose to cooperate
in. Christian work.
Gov. C.. E. Milliken of Maine was
the principal speaker at the meeting
in the First Presbyterian church.
Rev. Frank Smith introduced him.
"'We propose to cut out competi-
ton and wasted effort between the
churches" said Governor Milliken.
1--WE will raise money by united ef-
fort, to visualize our field of en-
deavor with united vision and to
perform the task with combined
strength and without waste.
100000 Illiterates.
"We have neglected our oppor-
tunities, and what is the result? 1t
is unrest, bolshevism, mob violence.
No democracy is secure unless its
people are educated and religious.
Today there are in this country
100000 adults who can't write or
read our language. Half Of our
population are not influenced direct
ly by any church, Protestant,
Catholic or Jewish. And 26,W0, 900
children and young people under Is
years of age are growing up with
out any religious training.
"To the business man this CAM
paign appeals because it spells ef-
hciency, united effort toward a def
mite end.
at has been figured out that if
every member of the 40 denomina-
tions were to give sum equal to
tenth the income of the lowest
paid worker in America, namely, the
waitress in Alabama who gets 81
cents day, the total sum would be
much more than the sum which
these 10 denominations in united
campaign are going after. This is
great allied offensive for the
church of God"
The pictures showed places and
people where the church has not
worked. A Pennsylvania coke town
was shown and the speaker said the
national survey showed there are
lO4 such towns in Pennsylvania
alone with 10000 people and not
single church or Sunday school.
Many Meetings Held.
This was but one Of dozens OF
meetings held in Omaha yesterday
in the interest of the Interchurch
World movement.

teams now touring the country in
preliminary work for this movement

Chicago Banks Will
Set Clocks Ahead to

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Chicago, April 1l.-Chicago will
be up against peculiar situation
Monday when the banks put into
effect the daylight saving hours,
while the rest of the city goes
ahead under the old system. Banks
that are members of the clearing
house association have decided to
open at o'clock and close at 2,
thus getting in line with the New
York banks and Wall Street.
Savings banks will make conces-
sions in the way of additional hours
on Saturdays to accommodate the
thousands who are unable to adjust
their working hours with the early
closing. The new hours do not
apply to safety deposit and trust
companies.
The change will probably cause
some confusion, especially the earlier
closing in the afternoon. as all other
lines of business will be operating
under the regular system.

Mexico City, Mo-, April IL.
swering kilograms from Gov !,
De La Huerta and General PLANK of
Sonora, protesting against the move
ments of federal troops in the state
OF Sonora and threatening all upris-
ing unless their principal wishes are
respected, President Carranza has
stated that he will accept full re-
sponsibility as chief executive of the
nation for his duty to keep and
maintain the federal union.
The president says he Cannot
discuss with the government of any
one state the convenience or incon-
venience of military measures die
tated within my constitutional facili-
ties, but l wish to call your atten-
ton to the fact that the attitude of
any state which, in whatever form
or under whatever pretext resents
as a violation OF its sovereignty
military movements made by the fed
eral government, constitutes an inn
mediate declaration of insurrection
and breaking of the pact of states
with the federal government.
mot only can | not suspend the
orders for movements of the federal
troops, but according to the declara-
tions of the Sonora state legislature
the question has been converted into
one of principle. That the federal
government strongly sustain and
conserve its authority for the unity
of the country, even if there were
no other motives which demanded
military measures, prudence and
precaution.
"The question of responsibility
for the consequences of what might
happen from troop movements is
to discuss, as ! accept
fully beforehand the responsibility
for the act, ordered by me-"

Frankfort, April 11.-What is
construed as an effort to arouse
French military authorities to Wig
orous action, is seen in the editorial
attitude of the Frankfurter Zeitung,
which, despite the drastic censorship
openly protests against the occupa-
ton of the Rhineland cities as un-
justified.
The paper was forced to publish
letter from General Demetz,
French commander to Police Chief
Ehrler, severely reprimanding him
for an incident in the Kaiserstrasse
Wednesday, when a German mob
surrounded a French soldier and de-
prived him of his carbine and BIZ
cycle.
Sting in Reply.
There is a sting in the police
chiefs reply where he asks that the
incident be overlooked inasmuch as
it happened on the day when six
German citizens were killed and 50
wounded by the Algerian troops.
Dusseldorf authorities are protest
ing vigorously against the atrocities
perpetrated by the reischwehr dur
ing their advance into the Ruhr ba-
sin. Entrance of the troops is en-
ergetically opposed.
1t was announced that Eberts
troops would retire as soon as the
security guards and police troops
are reformed in the neutral zone, but
two truck loads of reichswehr Wis
tied Dusseldorf for few hours, re-
turning to Essen later.
Thousands of communists have
fled to the British zone of occupa-
ton. In Cologne the Tommies have
interned 2,500 The amnesty pro-
claimed by Berlin has not induced
any of them to return to the area
occupied by the troops, as they re-
call how Berlin violated the agree
ment to make peace.
