The Senate's lobby investi-

learned today.
The Federal agents, many OF
them qualified lawyers as we'll as

in running down information given
the committee about the efforts of

The committees decision was
withheld by Senator Caraway CD

reply from Attorney General

"Those people who are not candid

It would have been to their advan-

Distinction Is Made
Carawav also announced that the
committees purpose was to tear

KIWANIS CLUB
HEARS SPEAKER
Rev. Macintosh Delivers
Aspiring Address to Civ
&c Organization

There has been a wonderful
change in the spirit Of nations and
in the feelings of all people toward
their fellow beings in the years since
tn close of the war. Rev. r. o.
Macintosh of the Church of the
Advent. told the Kiwanis club in ar
inspiring address at the weekly
luncheon Thursday noon.
Fifteen years ago the war was
the big thing. glory was sought,
bands were playing leading men to
war, flags were waving" Mackin-
tosh told his hearers in the special
Memorial day address. The world
was full of hatred for the enemy
men were running bayonets into the
bodies of their fellowmen. bodies
made in the image of God. Even
prisoners were unsafe. SO strong was
the hatred drilled into the soldiers"
Rev. Macintosh told some pitifui
cases witnessed BIZ him as a chap
lain who served in the front line
trenches.
But the Is years have passed and
1AOGEAA1 dD0ut a ElCdJ ulCDliSIlOQS
change in the thought OF mana
remembrance of the horrors of war
and a revuls.on against killing fell
low human beings" the former
chaplain continued. In fact. it has
brought about a new epoch-an
epoch of brotherly love.
Not alone did the war bring
pain to the mothers or to the men
who made the armies OF the Ia
tons, but 1t was the very essence OF
pain to the world-and Memorial
day should be a DAY of rejoicing in
the thought that all that has passed
away.
1t is not the emblem Of a ma
ton that makes a man. but the
relation between man and God"
Christians observe Good Friday
not for the crucifixation. but for
the good example and the lesson.
Rev. Macintosh said. The Jews
observe the passover for a similar
reason and all of lis observe Memo
rial day in remembrance of some
departed parent. brother, sister, rel
alive or friend, he said.
