 Perhaps no man alive today has given the subject more thought nor has witnessed more real evidences of wars ravages than Will Irwin" Miss Tyus declared.

 "One of MT. Irwin's critics has said that anyone who saw Will Irwin in France during the late war will testi- fly that the gritty writer is far from a pacifist, and yet in his book and 1 lectures, he points out the utter fu- tility of another war, and does 1t in such logical and thorough man ner that there Is little room for doubting his statement.
 We killed by retail in the last wAr--for we killed only about 1o,- ooo.eoo people. We'll kill by the wholesale in the next war" he says in his latest book.
 This epitomizes his attitude and right now 1t reflects as never before the real attitude of the American peo- ple---in spite of the jingoists. Irwin believes that the world has enough intellectual and moral stamina to solve the problems of wars. and he wants tho world to do 1t before the next-and final castrophe overtakes 1t. Mir. Irwin knows whereof he speaks. for he saw with the trained eye of the newspaper man and ob- server, just how close the world came to commit ting suicide during the last war.

 Every newspaper man and woman in the country knows Will Irwin, for. his rise in journalistic fields has been meteoric. Twenty years ago he was a cub in the San Francisco Chronicle and it was the proudest moment of his life when he was given the police beat He jumped up fast in journalistic circles and soon New York was calling him to become In 1905 he was made managing edi- tor of McClures Magazine and served in that capacity for a little more than a year, when he resigned to become a free lance writer and to do some special work for Golfers.
 He was one of the first corre- spondents to get into the war zone and it is interesting to know that he was one of the last ones back. His memorable story of Ypres was pub lished broadcast all over the world, and he was literally blacklisted by England and France because he dared to tell the truth. He went right aft CT Lloyd George about, the matter in true Yankee style and the premier wiled out the journalistic blockade with stroke of his pen-and com plimented Irwin for having told the truth in his masterly story of the me- morable campaign.

Bishop Beck should not have permitted the sd- dress without the consent of the bishop.
 Dr. wilkinson's defense will be that an outsider may not appear without the consent of the bishop in a building which has been conse- crated but that the parish house of St. Johns has never been conse- crated Gnd does not come within the church law which requires the con sent Of the bishop.
 Many members ot St. Johns church will be in Troy for the trial. The vestry of the church has defended pr. Wilkinson from tho beginning and at the trial will insist that Dr. Wilkinson is not guilty of the charges. Members of the court which will pass upon the innocence or guilt of Dr. Wilkinson are Rev. w c. Mcdowell of Auburn, Rev. P. !. Mundy of Albany and Rev. Oscar de Wolf Randolph of Birmingham.
