MunCie Attorney.
By Times Special

By Times Special
MARION, Ind, Nov. 9.-Attorney
General James M. Ogden is hoping

the opinion of Clarence Benadum,
Muncie attorney, expressed during
trial of a case in Grant circuit
court here after Ogden had opened
an investigation of Marion's re-
ported corruption.

defense attorneys.
He scored Ogden's tactics in the
investigation, and said that the Of
ficiaIs charge in an address at

gesture which would avail him but
little.

PRESENT PEACE
BORN OF FEAR,
AYERS PASTOR
Retail Murder by Gangs
Denounced Bitterly by the
Rev. 6. A. FrantZ.

THE Disappointment Of Peace
a peace of fear that breeds social
impurity and pride-was empha-
sized by DR.. George Arthur Frantz,
pastor Of the First Presbyterian
church in an Arrnistice sermon
Sunday.
While he pointed to the evils of
war, DR.. Frantz declared that peace,
born Of fear, also is a menace to
mankind's future.
Universal peace" he said, "is a
time to prevent wholesale slaughter
by rule of fear; yet, our present
peace allows retail murders by
gangs and racketeers.
Reign Of Terror
1T was in a time in the worlds
history that universal peace reigned
when Christ was crucified. Paul
was beheaded, and under Nero
Christians were thrown to the lions.
Leagues and courts serve, and we
pray for their efficacy, but Gods
peace is born of better parents than
fear. True peace comes first be-
tween me and god, then between
me and my brother"
Churches of the city Sunday
Joined in observance of a nation
wide call to prayer for worldwide
peace by the Federal Council of
Churches. Many ministers preached
sermons with Armistice day as
their theme.
Urges New Armistice
GA new armistice requiring the
whole world to lay down arms" was
urged by the Rev. Bert r. johnson,
pastor Of the Downey avenue
Christian church.
I'm the last three years, the
United States has spent millions for
armament while millions were out
of work." he said. 1--WE must pur-
sue peace as we did war"
He praised the League of Nations,
the World court and the BRAND
Kellogg pact.
