tIOn 10 War.

Washington, d. CA series of pro-
nouncements, adopted by the confer
ence of religious and welfare workers
called by Secretary Weeks, was sub
mitted to him on the conclusion Of
the meeting The religious advisers
Of the war department, who included
representatives of the Protestant. Ro-
man Catholic and Jewish denomina-
tons. joined unanimously in the as
sertion that peace at home and abroad
was the mission to Which America was
devoted. and added:
ITO pursue it unarmed and unde-
Tended would be the quickest way to
invite war"
The committee which prepared the
findings of the conference was head
ed by Bishop William F. Mcdowell
(Methodist) of Washington, D. c., and
included Rev. William f. Barton, mod
orator, national council of congrega-
tional churches; Rev John J., Burke,
general secretary, national Catholic
welfare council, and Colonel w. P.
Jenkins, Salvation Army.
In declaring the attitude of the con-
ference and the churches and organ
izations 1t represented on the question
of national preparedness, the confer
ence pronouncement said: peace at
home within our own country, peace
among all the nations of the earth
is a sacred mission to which America
has devoted herself and her resources.
To pursue 1t unarmed and undefend-
ed would be the quickest way to invite
war.
I'VE deprecate any attempt made
under the cloak of religion and in the
name of a false pacifism to deny the
support of the churches to the well
being Of our army and navy"

would represent the United States
first in the International tournaments
at Wimbledon, England, and then in
the Olympic matches at Colombes,
France.
Complaints as to the damage done
turf courts by spiked shoes during
the 1928 season led to the executive
committees recommendation relative
to such footgear. 1t was stated that
recent tests have shown that new
crepe-rubber-soled shoes furnish Sc
cure footing for the players except
in rainy weather, and If the proposal
is adopted spiked shoes may be used
only under such conditions.
In recommending a sanction fee for
future tournaments the executive
committee would have the L.. S. L.
T. A. follow methods employed by
other sports associations. 1t was eX-
planned the sanction fees would be
arranged on a graded scale, based on
the character of the tournament. For
minor tournaments nominal fee
would be charged, while for major
tournaments anu DIT -WHICfl
admission is charged a higher fee
would be asked. Fifty per cent Of
the sanction fee. according to the ex-
ecutive committees proposal, would
be retained blythe sectional associa-
tion and the remaining so per cent
forwarded to the y. S. l.. T. A.
The executive committee approved
the national tennis ranking for 1929
as submitted by the ranking commit
tee. ss-
The executive group decided that
in the future the ranking committee
shall be permitted to place as many
players on the ranking list as 1t sees
fit. a minimum Of twenty being re-
quired. In the past the number has
been restricted to twenty.
If the committee has difficulty in
selecting the players for the last few
places on the list of twenty the new
rule will permit 1t to place on the list
ali of those whose ability appears to
he about the same.
