STRONG CHURCH
RESULT OF WAR
Congressman Fess, However,
Warns of Evil Forces Re-
leased by Conflict.

Warning of the strength of evil
forces let loose as a result of the
war, Representative Simeon z. Fess.
of Ohio, declared yesterday that
the church was stronger today than
before the war period and because
of the war, in q speech before the
st. Johns Episcopal Church Lenten
day congregation.
Il am aware that profanity is
more easily indulged in today as
a result of laxness during the Pc
riod of war and also that our re-
gard for the rights of others Is
more loose. but / do believe We are
nearer the promise Of a sober ma
tion than we would have been with
out the war" Fess said.
Fess expressed the opinion that
the government is freer to give
more rights to the public and Is
giving more emphasis upon the bet
ter type of education as a result
OF the war.
The startling reports of the
draft records detailing our present
faults and conditions of illiteracy
have brought to the attention of
the nations legislative bodies the
necessity for decided action tend
ing to improvement in this direc-
tion." Fess said.
The war brough great burdens
on the church especially. but it has
created a united strength of Chris
tian forces" Fess concluded.

made this statement 20 the District
chapter of the Rainbow Division
Veterans. which celebrated the third
anniversary of the divisions going
into battle, in the "dug-out" at 1904

The Offensive spirit. as opposed

taught the men to go after the en-

;Laskey Contends Halted
Sale of Ships Caused
$25,OOo,O0O Loss.

Declaring that the worries Of
william Randolph Hearst over his
ultimate fate as citizen and tax

court once before and secure an
injunction restraining the Shipping
Board from disposing Of twenty
nine former German-owned ships at
an expense Of actually 3z6.ooo,o0o

Laskey, United States attorney for
the District of Columbia in oppos-
ing the granting of new inNnc-
tion against Secretary of the Treas
ury Houston to forestall any more
loans to foreign governments, ask
ed Justice William Hitz. of the Dis

amount took wings because the gov
eminent could not then sell the ships
at advantageous prices.
Case Under Advisenent.
Justice Hitz, after listening to a
four-hour argument, took Hearst's
petition for an Injunction under ad-
visement and announced that he i'm
mediately would begin to "wrestle"
with the problem.
Counsel for Hearst seized upon
the mention of the Injunction
against the Shipping Board and for
some time argued that because
Hearst once, secured the aid Of the
judiciary to correct an alleged act
of mismanagement on the part OF
the Shipping Board he was now
entitled to the same aid in pre-
venting Secretary Houston from ne
gotiating any more loans to for
eign countries. Hearst's attorneys
ignored Laskey's allegations as to
what the previous Injunction had
cost the other taxpayers Of the
country.
Say Houston Violated No Law.
With Solicitor General of the
United States William F. Frierson.
Laskey contended that not once had
Secretary Houston violated any of
the provisions of the law providing
for loans to countries at war with
Germany. 1t was further pointed
out by the governments attorneys
that all the credits established SO
far were fully authorized by Con-
gress, which did not first obtain
permission of the courts to enact
such legislation and therefore was
not now subjct to having its acts
interpreted and guided by the
courts when such a function was
left to the executive department of
the government.
The fact that the Senate was al
ready investigating the advisable
ity of loaning any more money to
foreign governments was brought
to the attention of the court by
both sides.
Messrs. Frierson and Laskey
strenuously objected to any inter-
ference by the court with the per-
ogatives OF Congress and the eSr
ecutive department on the ground
that 1t set a dangerous precedent
not to say costly in the end to the
taxpayers.

CLUB DISCUSSES
MENTAL HYGIENE
Lack of Central Examining
Agency Deplored by Mon
day Evening Group.

That Washington lacks a central
examinging agency which should
serve as a bureau of mental hygiene
affording facilities for medical,
psychological and social investiga-
tion and service was brought out
by Robert NJ. Yerkes at a meeting
of the Monday Evening Club held
at the Cosmos Club last night.
"The chief reasons for a special
mental hygiene movement" de-
clared Yerkes. "are first, the popu-
lar superstitution that mental trou-
bles are more or less disgraceful,
and secondly. that the medical pro-
fession has been backward in de-
veloping met0 0ods Of preventing and
of curing mental diseases. in es.

Russ Army-German Gas Unions
Union between Bolshevist Russia

the world. 100000 men, and Ger

IL this union is ever completed the
world will face a new struggle in
comparably more tragic than the
world war. declared DR.. Herty, who
is editor of the journal of Indus
trial and Engineering Chemistry.
The Russian successes against Gen.
Wrangel were largely aided by
poison gas, and as Russia has no
chemical industry, there must be a
linking Of the two countries, DR..
Herty pointed out.
Talk of disarmament is world
wide at the present time" continued
the speaker. but the feature which
is emphasized is relief from the
burdens Of taxation which accom-
pany the race for supremacy in
battleships and big guns. II real
peace is being sought, then we
cannot ignore the most striking de-
velopments of the war-aviation and
gas warfare.
Strip War Making Power.
''All are agreed that the first
step in disarmament is the stripping
of war-making power from that ma
tion which brought about the war
and which today shows no sign OF
contrition, though defeated.
Through the army and navy ap-
preparation bills the House of Rep
resentatives has set aside a total
of $724,o00,o for our fighting
forces and of this amount only two
tenths of 1 per cent is available for
gas warfare, which was responsible
for one-third of our casualties"

ROTARIANS PLAN

Years Ago With Four Mem
bers; 800 Clubs Now.

The members Of the Washington
Rotary Club are looking forward
with real live Nterest to an un-
usual event which will bring the
men together Friday at 1880 D. m
at the New willard. The occasion
is the celebration Of the sixteenth
anniversary Of the beginning Of
Rotary. for IL was on the 23d of
February. 1905. in Chicago. that the
first meeting took place. which
proved to be the beginning Of a
worldwide movement. which is
destined to play a wonderful part
in bringing together the men of all
nations through the simple medium
of acouaintanceship.
During the period of existence OF
the local club. the people Of this
city have had many reasons to
know that the club is composed OF
men who are Wiling to assume
places of leadership and co-opera-
ton in the real constructive under
takings for the good OF the COM
munity. But a great many who
may regard the Rotary organiEa-
tion very highly. judging only from
the nature of its activities, are not
at all acquainted with the history

concerning the creed which appears
to be just the kind of q bond to
hold together a bunch OF live wires
such as have taken such an active
interest in things here since the or
ganization OF the local club in 1919.
In order that everybody may
know just what a Rotary Club is
what its teachings are, why IL has
such a small, restricted member
ship, why the wives OF its mem
bers are such enthusiastic suppor-
ters OF its activities. the club men
have decided TO devote one entire
meeting to q discussion and consid-
GRAFTON of the several phases of the
clubs organization, ideals. activ-
tiles and growth. Not only will the
local phases of the subject be dis
cussed, but there will he given the
story OF the development OF the or

four men. in the original Chicago
group, Is years ago. to a total OF
over eight hundred clubs today with
