RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 6.-Assistant
Secretary of State Francis B. Sayre
said today the United States could no
more escape the consequences Of
another great war than could a
carefully bsrricaded householder in
the path of cyclone"
do not be misled into thinking
that neutrality can save our own
country" the State Department Off
cial and son-in-law of the late former
President Woodrow Wilson said in
an address before national preaching
mission session here.
I'VE see nations expecting war and
making gigantic preparations for it,
knowing, even as they do so, that
another war may spell the end Of our
civilization" he continued.
"The practical question is, what
are you going to do about it? Are
you going to stand supinely by and
wait with hands folded for oncoming
destruction? Are you loving and
educating and rearing children simply
to throw them into the shambles of
war, to perish dreadfully or to come
back cracked in mind and MANNED in
body?
American manhood and woman
hood cannot wait inertly for these
things to happen" he asserted.
Pointing out that civilization needs
a practical utilization of the "revolu-
tionary teachings" of Christ, Sayre
said real Christianity today demands
the building of new foundations for
our civilization
1--WE must find way to satisfy
human needs more adequately in a
highly organized society such as that
in which We live" he added. That
means practical utilization of knowl-
edge gained from Christ"

Baxter Defeats

District patrons to the gentle
art of wrestling are wondering TO-
day why the lads who appear here
for mat maneuvers every Thurs
day night, stage these things in a
ring.
Last night at Turner's Arena,
a flock Of villains or whatever
you want to call 'em, staged a
demonstration that resulted with
the majority of bouts being staged
in the laps Of the ringsiderS, up
and down the aisles, and under
the ring. The main bouterS OF
the evening were Leverne Baxter
and George Koverly.
Hardly had the battle got under
way than the Baxter-Koverly com
bine began their fun on the floor
of the Arena, which to say the
least, got in the hair Of the ring
siders at times. At one stage OF
the game, minions Of the law were
forced to crawl under the ring and
pry the boys" loose from the
floor boards. It was all very
funny, but the wrestlers were not
giving the customers a break.
Finally to bring matters to 9
close, Baxter tossed Koverly in 25
minutes of floor busting.
