BISHOP RRENT'S LETTER

"By limitation of naval ornaments,
and the elimination of certain extra
brutal features of war we have
reached again such a measure of gen
tlsmanlinass and chivalry III warfare
as prevailed in medieval tines
says Right Reverend Charles Henry
Brent, D. D., Episcopal Bishop of
Western New York, and ranking
chaplain on the staff of General
Pershing in the World War, in a
Lenten letter which was made public
at Episcopal Church Headquarters
here yesterday. The letter is a
strong appeal for the Elimination of
all war, and with his characterize
ton OF the results of the Armament
Conference Bishop Brent couples an
appeal for peace and concord among
all the nations; and advocates such a
coming together of all the world
powers, including Russia, as is con-
templated in the proposed Genoa
Conference.

proclaimed the re-opening of political

forgiveness has not been working
overtime in the direction of our enc
mics. America has had fellowship
in conference with the like minded ma
tons. Now is she going to work for
fellowship.
in conference with all the nations :?
Let us speed our leaders or. The
proposition is sound. The one certain
way of reaching understanding is
through fellowship. Fellowship is
the ony feature of life which is both
q means to an end as well as end in
itself"
The letter, which is headed, "From
World Consciousness to World Con
SCIENCE" was prepared by Bishop
Brent at the request of the Social
Service Department of the Episcopal
Church, and with the approval of
Bishop Gailor, President of the Ma
tional Council Of the Church, will be
read to the congregations Of that
Communion throughout the world.
It is burning appeal from
soldier-prelate for world brotherhood
and order, and abounds in striking
phrases.
international affairs are as much
the business of every citizen as ma
tional affairs" says Bishop Brent.
"Never again can the individual al
ford to think OF world matter as alien
to his responsibility. Democracy has
long since recognized that national
affairs are also in the hands OF the
people Given truthful information,
the people are as capable of handling
world as local matters"
"The true citizen today" Bishop
declares, "is a citizen of the world
and his first loyalty is to mankind.
Patriotism comes as second loyalty
to be checked, disciplined and deter
mined by the first and greater loyal
ty. This must extend to every de-
partment of life, religious and intel
lectual, political and commercial"
at is for the Christian Church
more than any other to lead the way
to peace" Bishop Brent says again.
"This can be done only by creating
Christian character and then mas
sing it as an army of Peace with a
definite program ready at any time
with intelligence and power to meet
and confound the forces that make
for war"
Concluding his statment Bishop
Brent says:
"We Christians have serious bus
mess ahead Of us. 1t is the Church Of
God that alone is commissioned and
empowered to create conscience in
men that will make for brotherhood

CHICAGO. Aug. S.-Joint legisla-

be frowned on IN the future by the
American League. President Ban
johnson made this announcement
today on the eve of a joint ssion
scheduled to be held here Monday.
He also said that he will go before
the meeting to discuss the recent
Duyan-Smith sale to the Yankees
and show that the sale was possible
at q late stage of the race. becacse
the American League was overruled
by Commissioner Landis when IL
attempted to place restrictions on
such transactions.
In the February. 1920. meeting of
the American League. Clark Griffith.
of the Washington Club. proposed
that saits from one club to another
he prohibited after June I. The
New York colonels were the chief
