EVOLUTION PROVED,
CHURCHMEN HEAR
Scientist Tells Disciples
Congress Theory Is Now
Beyond Questioning.
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, April 2S.-One of the
curious facts in reference to the cur
rent popular discussion of evolution.
Prof. John Nj. Coulter of the Uni
yersity of Chica go told the congress
of the Disciples of Christ today, IS
the confusion of evolution with
Darwinism. AS the result OF demon
strations made we'll after Darwin's
time, DR.. Coulter declared there is
no longer any question as 10 the fact
of evolution.
"Darwin's explanation" he con
tinued, lis simply one of a number of
explanations most of which have been
proposed since Darwins time. In his
time the method of study was OBJ
servation and inference. OF course.
inference is not demonstration.
Holds Case Proved.
1T was not until the present cen
tury that a new method of studying
evolution was developed. Plants and
animals were pedigreed under rigid
control, and were observed in the act
of producing new species. 1t is safe
TO say, therefore, that the production
Of one species by another has been
demonstrated repeatedly. so that
there is no longer any question as To
the fact of evolution.
1T is not the fact of evolution that
is today being tested by scientists. but
the explanation of evolution. No
scientific conclusion can be over
thrown by ignorant opposition, but
only by further progress in scientific
research"

with foreign powers to rely not on the
strength of our fleets and our armies
but on the justice Of our cause. For
these reasons our country has not

serve humanity by using its resources
for other purposes.
In dealing with our military prob
lens there Is one principle that Is ex-
ceedingly important. Our institu-
tions are founded not on military pow
er but on civil authority. We ARE irr
revocably committed to the theory of
a government by the people. We
have our constitutions and our laws,
our executives. our legislatures, and
our courts, but ultimately we are
governed by public opinion. Our
forefathers had seen SO much of
militarism, and suffered 30 much
from it, that they desired to Danish it
forever. They believed and declared
in at least one of their state consti-
tutions that the military power should
be subordinate to and governed by
the civil authority. 1t is for this
reason that any organization OF men
In the military service bent on infam-
forcing government action through
the pressure Of public opinion is an
exceedingly dangerous undertaking
and precedent. This Is so whatever
form 1t might take, whether 1t be for
the purpose of influencing the Execu-
tive, the legislature. or the heads OF
departments. 1t is for the civil au-
thority to determine what appropria-
tions shall be granted, what appoint
ments shall be made, and what rules
shall be adopted for the conduct of
it's armed forces. Whenever the
military power starts debating to the
civil authority, by whatsoever means
adopted, the liberties Of the country
are beginning to end. National de-
tense should at all times be support

own condition or help humanity very

pathetic understanding that human
nature Is about the same everywhere.
that 1t is rather evenly distributed
over the surface of the earth, and
that we are all united in a common
brotherhood. We can only make
America first in the true sense which
that means by cultivating a spirit of
friendship and good will, by the exer-
else of the virtues of patience and
forbearance, by being i"plenteous in
mercy" and through progress at
home and helpfulness abroad stand
ing as an example of real service to
humanity.
1t Is for these reasons that 1t seems
clear that the results of the war will
be lost and we shall only be entering
a period of preparation for another
conflict unless we can demobilize the
racial antagonisms, fears, hatreds and
suspicious, and create an attitude of
federation in the public mind of the
peoples of the earth. If our country
is to have any position Of leadership
I trust it may be in that direction,
and believe that the place where it
should begin Is at home. Let us cast
OH our hatredS. Let US candijly ac-
cept our treaties and our natural OBJ
legations of peace. We know and
everyone knows that these old sys-
tens. antagonisms and reliance on
force have failed. II the world has
made any progress, 1t has been the
result of the development Of other
ideals. If we are to maintain and
perfect our own civilization, If we are
to be of any benefit to the rest of
mankind, we must turn aside from
the thoughts of destruction and Gull
tivate the thoughts Of construction.
We can not place our main reliance
upon material forces. We must res
affirm and reinforce our ancient faith
In truth and justice, in charitableness
and tolerance. We must make our SUI
preme commitment to the everlasting
spiritual forces of life. We must mo-
