MORE PEOPLE GOING TO CHURCH.

copyright articia from the Herald Bureau
Washington, based upon statistics gathered by the
federal census presents striking regarding the
religious situation in America. We have been accus
toned in recent years to hear much talk and often
from church leaders that religious interest has
been the decline and that the nation is facing
serious danger Of decentralization this account.
The figures quite refute this view.
In less than two decades the church member
ships of America have grown less than So OOO,-
900 to than 45,OOOOOO. This is not half the
total population and reflects still deplorable non
utilization, but it indicates not retrogresson but
progress. The body Of churchgong people is grow
ing faster than the population, and a million
rev members joining churches every year.
The value Of the church buildings in the nation
is $4,000 100000. The religious endowment is in ex-
cess of s5OO.OOO.OOO. Annually 100000 900
Is spent for church extension work.
We have in the country 2O.OOO.OOO sabbath school
children, with more than 100000 teachers over
100000 and women are giving their entire
time to church work.
All this does not take into account the many mill

The splendor of the spotlight's glare;
We'd like to have it widely known

But when defeat is ours TO take.

The old excuse and place the blame

SPEAKS STARTS
ACTION ON LONG
JAIL SENTENCES

WASHINGTON, July s. John G.

as a brigadier-general in the late
war. has taken steps which he thinks
will develop some interesting facts
in regard 70 excessive and, in some
instances. outrageous sentences i'm
posed by military authorities for
trivial offenses.
Gen. Speaks believes that in the
prisons today are many men who
would not be there if justice instead
of arbitrary military pique had ruled
in disposing of their cases
The Columbus member has written
a letter 10 Sec'y Of War Weeks
which is expected 10 develop the
facts. He asks the secretary Of war
TO furnish him the following infor-
nation:
How many men who were sen
fenced 10 Imprisonment between

2-How many Of these men were
in the American Expeditionary
forces?
o-EledSt state the DntuSt upon
which the charge was based and the
sentence imposed in each case.
Severe Sentences.
7 am convinced" said Gen.
Speaks, that in a great many in
stances the most severe sentences
were imposed by military authorities
for trifiing offenses.
My idea is that when the secre-
tary OF war furnishes the informa-
ton which I have asked for and
which I expect 70 be in detail il shall
be turned over 10 the American Lee
gion. whose members viii have an
opportunity 20 investigate each case

clemency. if clemency is found 10 be
deserved. 1 believe there many men

fences who ought. in all justice. 10
be released. and I am going 10 do all

Congress Is still adding at peace Inability to &c,
the Knox resolutions through the house has result

existing. otherwise presumng TO protect all Ameri-
can rights under the Paris treaty without assuming
any responsibilities. As in the case Of the Knox
resolution 1t effects the settlement with Germany
It is a rare subterfuge
In another We have surrendered It ls
separate peace without any Ieace. Germany long
ago resumed peace relations with our former allies
Notwithstanding that they still quibblng over
the details The resolution IS attempt 10 ratfy
the Versailles agreement under false pretenses.
Germany may have something to say about that It
settles nothing. We quote the Indianapolis News;
Though state Of peace IS declared, this gov
eminent Is to maintain war status with regard
TO indemnities reparations, enemy property
held, until such time a. peace is really made.
We are 70 hold 10 all that has
under the armistice the treaty OF Versailles and
the treaties with Austria Hungary, or which
came 20 of the participants in the
war as one Of the principal allied and asso-
oated powers Those rights. the resolution
serves the right 20 enforce And that is a very
interesting reservation. But there is not one Of
the rights reserved guaranteed TO by the
treaty that be enforced hereunder by our
government until it becomes a Iarty to that
treaty
When congress reserves the right to enforce
the same il must, would think, have in
mind some way in which that enforcement could
be made effective. Whatever of the property OF
the German government or German nationals IS
held in this country by government can. OF
course, be retained till there is a settlement.
But there other rights written into the YER
saiIes treaty which not be enjoyed except
with the consent Of our late enemies. and
shall have 10 get that the result Of treaty
agreement. 1t may not be easy as IL looks to
enforce" these rights.
And there 1t stands The peace problem is still
with us. The president and secretary OF will
have to decide whether they will negotiate a
peace with Germany resubmit the Versailles
treaty-with reservations and amendments to
their pary's face. AS it that treaty that the
resolution passed by congress relies. the natural
thing would seem to be to accept it, and thus make
sure that our rights will be enforced. Some sort
Of treaty will have be made and soon
