wars IN the future. Rev. MIR.
Barsch said In part:
Memories that bless and burn
within US result from experiences we
have had at some time or another.
We are looking back today and
view = peaceful period which has
taught US = lesson that none OF us
shall forget. We are branded with
the marks of the World War. We
bear the marks of 26 million lives
who fought for future world peace.
We carry in our mind the financial
loss which a few of us are able to
appreciate.
Think of these astounding fig
ures. SS7 billion dollars. which are
indirect expenses resulting from the
World War. What could We have
accomplished with this sum OF
money for the good OF America or
Of Europe?
Religion and truth likewise be-
came a casualty. People who heard
religion discussed thought the re-
marks cynical because every sens
ible man knew that God could not
answer the prayers that were offered
up by the different armies.
Il venture to say that every prayer
which was offered to God had a
selfish motive in mind. ] urge every
supposed Christian to get Christ into
his heart, who lived an unselhsh and
serviceable life.
Christ gave universal peace fol
the body and for the soul. Since We
have experienced the hellishness Of
war let every man resort to the
fundamental of truth whereby wal
can be abolished and peace instl'
tuted."

BUYS STORE WITH
WORTHLESS CHECK
Seller Gets Restraining Order
Against New Owner

An alleged attempt by the de-
PENDANT to defraud the plaintiff OF
Il business was soon found out by
the latter with the result that
temporary restricting order was
granted by Judge Henry p. Roche
privately yesterday morning with
the consequent closing of store at
81 Grove street by Constable John
s. Recor.
The alleged attempt to defraud
was disclosed Saturday evening a
few hours after business transac-
ton between Wincenty Hrul5iec. the
plaintiff and Vito Amaro. the de-
PENDANT. was concluded. The plain
tiff in his complaint drawn up by At
torney l.. j. Colon states that on Sat
urday he sold the defendant the
store with all stock and fixtures for
which he received a check, which
the plaintiff found to be worthless
when he attempted to cash it. In the
meantime the defendant continued
the sale OF the stock in the store
without RENTING to the plaintiff
the amount of the price agreed upon,
it is claimed.
Late Saturday evening the Vain
tiff got in touch with his attorney.
whereupon Mr.. Colon communicate
ed with Judge Roche in an effort to
stop the defendant from the furth-
err sale of goods. Before long Judge
Roche appeared at the attorneys
office and after reading the COM
plant issued an order restraining
the defendant from selling further
stock until the amount of purchase
was paid in full. The defendant is
further held under penalty of $1,000
damages and refrained from dispos-
ing of any merchandise until fur

Predicts End Of War

The end of all wars was seen III
the near future by Rev. Theodore
Ainsworth Greene in a discussion of
THE Peace Problem and the Peace
Pact" at the First Congregational
church yesterday forenoon.
Rev. Mr.. Greene rescribed In de-
tail the terms of the Kellogg peace
pact and explained the phases or
this pact and its history. He told OF
the correspondence between the
United states and France. how the
treaty lad developed from one IN
GLIDING but two nations to one
which promises to include all ma
tons.
Mr.. Greene continued: For 10
wears the guns have been stilled and
the swords have been sheathed. BUT
are we any nearer the day of univer-
sal peace and brotherhood Nations
are still looking to military and ma
val esta blishments for security.
Scientific studies and inventions are
ma king ornaments increasingly ef-
fective. In the United States military
training is compulsory In 22S edu-
cational institutions. In France and
several other countries conscrlptlon
is still practiced. The Geneva naval
conference was not altogether a sue
cess.
Competition for raw materials IN
undeveloped countries still goes on
and will continue. The struggle Tor
international market grows con-
stantly keener. China. Egypt, lndla
are FESTIVE; Soviet Russia seems to
threaten every other people. The
questions of Germany's reparations
and the Inter-Allied debts are still
with us.
But there is q brighter side. Evil
dences are multiplying that the
League of Nations is steadily devel-
oping its programs for world coop

creasingly active now. Educational
leaders in many lands are broaden
ing their horizons and their plans
for education on other than merely
national terms. Business men, the
best of them. have long felt the urge
of international interests. Millions of
Christians are awakening to the es.
