Attempts to get Caddock to agree
t6, Wrestle have fallen on deaf ears.
He is familiar sight in his home
town, carrying the Bible with him at
all times on the streets and porting
over the book at night in his home.
The scriptures have become to him
the last word in peace and wisdom,
and his conversation is interspersed
with quotations therefrom.
1T is impossible to get him to fol-
low religion a Ia Fred Stone, for
he has abandoned everything in his
new turn Of mind.
Caddock served with the United
States Army during the world war
and underwent some terrible expert
cnces. Mrs. Caddock gave birth to
her first baby while Earl was over
seas, and the wrestler was badly
gassed, besides witnessing the hor.
rors of war that everywhere sur
rounded him.
Caddock was a changed man to a
certain extent upon his return from
abroad but nobody thought that the
wonderful wrestler was going to
abandon everything for religion.
Early last fall an evangelist of the
Billy Sunday type conducted re-
vival at Walnut, and Caddock be-
came interested in his discourses,
with the result that he became con-
verted during the services and has
stuck steadfastly to his conversion
pledges since.
Jack CuI1ey, the wrestling pro-
mOter, who knows CaddOck we'll
and who is now i'm the West, is au-
thOrity for the story Of Cadd0ck'S
turn to religion, and Oscar Thor
son, the Des MOineS promoter, con-
firms it.
"Since Caddock quit the game, Des
Moines fans dropped their interest in
wrestling" says Thorson.
There was no use running without
Caddock. I wired him and wrote
him and telephoned him, but got
no satisfactory reply. SO recently

learned that he sold out all his in
terests. Yes, he had the Bible under
his arm, and at once told me the
Holy Book was his only friend.
"At every mention I made Of
wrestling he quoted the Bible as his
answer. The good book said this
and the good book said that. saw
at once that there was no use talking
to him.
"'The Bible says it's wrong to
wrestle your fellow man. said Earl
"How about keeping the money
one made at wrestling or boxing"
I retorted.
"But Earl Caddock only stared and
pointed to the book.
"And we were always the best of
friends, but I left him, and he barely
bade me gOod-by."

A similar crime Is to say, continu-
ally, Didn't you revoke on that last

had followed. Be more attentive
yourself and you won't waste other
peoples time.
When you attempt to exact PEN

for breaking a law of bridge, as all
laws of bridge are broken inadver-

Business gave way to the address
of DIR. Morris Newfield at Temple
Emanuel at the league meeting in
our new quarters at the Tutwiler
lotel. He spoke on Peace and Ar
bitration." 1.-The entire world is
eager far permanent peace" said DR..
Newfield. 1.-The desire in the hearts
of the people for the cessation of
was stimulated by book and this
book was written by a woman. Later
other books followed scattering the
germ of peace wider and wider.
War does not settle disputes,
said DR.. Newfield. War does not ac-
ccmplish it's object. 1t is great de-
ceiver.
OBSTRUCTION in any way is justi-
fled from a military point of view
The United States, at the close of
the World war, had ready gas so
destructive that it would wipe out
whole cities. Are we to perpetrate
such heinous crimes?
Moses was the only man who ever
broke the ten commandments at one
time. War breaks them all, all the
time. In war mans laws set aside
Gods laws. Why must civilized ma
tons resort to fighting? In the AMI
NAL world no pack attacks its own
kind. Cannot man, with his intelli-
gence, devise some way to settle the
disputes among nations?
Mans first real step to solve the
problem was through the League
of Nations. Peoples were to be rep
resented not merely rulers. Fifty ma
lions joined the league. Ours. the
one responsible for it's existence, be-
cause of craftsmanship, stands aloof.
1.-TWO other plans have a large fol-
lowing. One advocated by President
Harding. the international court or
Justice, and Senator Bor5h's idea to
establish a world court to outlaw
war 1t should have the power to
summon every nation and decide
what is right and uphold it's deci-
sion" This, DR.. Newfield thinks
would be a step in the right direc-
tiCn.

of the case. reported that. as en-
