better informed than it's rival by coming
out in its next issue with the declaration
that:

the world is coming to recognize the

stands. This Nation was brought into
being by men who held to high
Christian ideals. 1t has been pre-
served through recurring crises by
men of like conviction. We believe
that today the motives that lie behind
our course of action with reference
to our own internal affairs as well as
those that relate us to the world in
general are noble and pure and
Christian.
IT as we believe, we are dominated
by Christian principles, the time is at
hand not only to demonstrate them
here at home, but to disclose them in
all our dealings with our neighbors
throughout the world.
OBVIOUSLY, our first business is to
set our own house in order, and to
see to it that we, as people, ex-

our own confines; beyond this to dis

The same band of stanch admirers
of Woodrow Wilson who made a pill
grimage to his home last Armistice
day and heard him, falteringly, utter
his last public words in support of
those policies, made another pilgrim
age of tribute yesterday afternoon
this time to his final resting place
on Mount ST. Alban.
Woodrow Wilson, the man, was
not there to greet them as in days
gone by, but to his spirit they
pledged themselves anew to cherish
and hold fast those ideals for which
the Comm ander- in Chief of a, mill
tant democracy sacrificed his health,
and, finally, his life.
Led by 7-year-old lad, who sew
eral hours before Wilson's death car
ried a single blossom to the S street
doorstep in fulfillment of a wish to
so honor the dying war President,
the solemn leaders placed tenderly
upon the tomb, with simple rites. an

EVERY Letter A "SALE."
Miss Hawley Tells Ad Club Value

Every letter is a sales letter. 1t

to sell merchandise or esteem, you
are always selling something and 1t

desired impression, Miss Laura Joy

DRIVER IS ACCUSED
IN JEWEL ROBBERY
Gems Recovered and Chauf-

Quick solution of the mystery of
the theft of jewelry. valued at $4,000.
from the residence of Mrs. Francois
Berger Moran, 2315 Massachusetts
avenue, was accomplished by De-
7ectives James Springmann and

four days, was arrested, and is al

however, when she learned from an
employment agency that he wanted

PLAN FOR SOLVING
PROBLEMS OF WAR
DR.. Freeman, in Radio Ad-
dress, Sees Passions Re-
strained Only by Religion.

Asserting that the insularity of
nations can no longer be maintained,
as they are bound together by dis
soluble ties, Right Rev. James T..
Freeman, Bishop of Washington, in
an Armistice day message radioed
last night by station WCAP, called
for the settlement of conflicts at
the board where passions are re-
strained and calm judgment rules the
decisions of men"
If a peace can be enforced by
superiority of arms, he said, it can be
enforced by the "dispassionate and
equitable judgment of fair-minded
Christian statesmen"
1T is growing increasingly clear
that it can be enforced in no other
way" he continued.
America Not Isolated.
america was once far removed
from contacts with her neighbors in
the elder world. This is no longer
SO. We are reminded of the ancient
words, that God has made of one
blood all nations of men for to dwell
on the face of the whole earth The
only hope in sight for the spread of
peace is to be found in better and
more Christian understanding of the
purposes and aims of those who rep
resent different tongues as well as
different political systems.
president Harding never said a
truer word than this: The gospel of
understanding alone will insure a
TRANQUIL world Let it be remem-
bered by our people on this great
day that the gospel of UNDERSTANDING
came through Him who sought 10
bring to mankind principles of liv-
ing that are primary and funda-
mental. A nation that refuses to
reckon with these principles will
play no part in effecting that for
which Armistice day stands.
Nation Represents Power.
America has grown to such pro-
portions that it is the wonder, and
sometimes the envy, of the world
We represent power and resourceful-
ness, and we, in our better moments
stand for the high purposes of Chris
tian ideals. If the principles of
Armistice day-yes, if indeed the
principles for which our noble men
| and women, too, laid down their
| lives-are to be maintained, let us
see to ut that we be not intoxicated
with our own power or growing self
sufficiency, but that We hew to lines
laid down by those who made and
| preserved us as Nation.
Cites RevulsiOn Against War.
ut is reasonable to say that never
| before in the history of the world has
| there been greater revulsion OF
| feeling against war, or a more wide
| spread determination to end it as a
method of settling disputes, than in
this present pregnant hour. The world
may have a long way to travel be-
fore this high ideal is fulfilled, but
nevertheless it has seized the hearts
and minds of men as with a passion
and the wisest statesmen in the
world today repeatedly express the
conviction that this happy consum.
nation is devoutly to be wished.
Let US be clear about it, neither
war, nor any other of the evils that
! afflict mankind can be removed un.
less the regenerating influences OF
