Goldfish Eaten by
Protected Birds

New Bedford, Mass, Nov. 1e-(By
A. Po-Goldfsh that turn green and
marauding birds, to shoot which is
risky, have. perplexed cemetery off,
Gals in this city. Two ponds, one in
Rural cemetery and the other in Oak
Grove cemetery. have been used as
breeding places for goldfish. Re
Gently the school of fish in the former
pond was sadly depleted and investi-

mary execution was decided upon
and carried out. When the guilty
BIRDS body was examined it was
found to be night heron. bird pro-

learned that in protecting the fish
they had laid themselves open to
prosecution.
Preparations were being made to
remove the 125 goldfish from the Oak,
Grove cemetery pond to a greenhouse
fountain for the winter when it was
discovered that some artificial flowers
used in the decoration of graves had
been blown into the water The dye

THOU SHALT NOT"
DUTY OF CHURCHES
TO SPEAK VS., WAR

Philadelphia, Nov. 15-Will Irwin.
war correspondent and author, told a
great audience of church people
gathered here today at the eighth
annual meeting of the World ALI
ance for International Friendship
that the United Churches of the
Christian world would hold the is
sue OF war or peace in their own
hands.
IF in the decade between 1904 and
1914" said Mr.. Irwin, "the churches
of the Christian. world had said.
.. Thou shalt not there would have
been no general European war. II
the churches should say today, with
one voice. Thou shalt not!' there
would never be another war.
1.-THE solution of this question
the most pressing problem which
confronts the world today" he con-
tinued. "is in the hands of the
churches, if they care to use tor
ganized Christianity and organized
Judaism. 1t would take centuries to
build up such an organization for
peace as you, gentleman, have in your
! hands, one so powerful over the
minds and hearts and imagina tons
of men, so experienced in dealing
with human problems, even SO rich
and powerful.
But as events rushed on to the
catastrophe of 1914, none raised even
feeble voice to prote st against the
horror and shame which the Chris
tan nations were about to loose upon
the world. Christ, gagged and
bound, was delivered by his own SER
wants captive to Mars. They did
this for the most part blindly, not
knowing what they did. Eut. if they
betray him again, they will do 1t con-
sciously, out of the cowardice of
their own hearts-as did Judas.
For now the world knows what
war is! Those among us who are
not fools, perfectly understand that
modern var is rooted in greed, that
it serves no good end of the spirit,
that its moral fruits are hatred,
lechery, disintegration of moral fibre
in. the nation and in the individual.
If war were what old fashioned
theology. used to call a Means of
Grace fsit sent it's vi etims to death
and it's survivors back to civil life
better men, it would be your business
to support 1t. no matter how great
its physical agonies. But I. who saw
the late war from its first battle to
its last, who saw it with six nations,
who saw 1t at front and rear, am
here to tell you that il is not. Any
one who says that the average maDis
better man because of the war of
1914-19-S, is lying-consciously, or
to himself. 1t does not even rescue
peoples from what the militarists call
softness. Never did humanity at war
display such courage as in the late
European struggle The farmers of
France. the mechanics of England
and the factory operatives of Ger
many performed every day before
breakfast deeds which made Their
mopyl8 and the Alamo seem like
petty squabbles. And these heroes
had lived out their lives in - period
of profound peace. Every man of
science who concerns himself with
the breeding of the species knows

Was it because of his political
