11 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, MONDAY. AUGUST 3, 1914 . , I ALL CITY GHURGHES PRAY FOR PEACE Congregations of Every Creed Unite in Supplication That Conflict Be Averted. SERMONS DEAL WITH WAR Catholics Insert Appeal for AH Na tions in Masses and Protestant Ministers Ask Christians to Show Their Faith. Supplication's tor the peace of the world and for the staying of the great i war in Europe went up from congrega tions In every church in Portland yes terday and ministers throughout the ,city in their sermons voiced the hope that it may be the will of God to end the struggle before it has caused wide spread sorrow and death. By order of Archbishop Christie the prayer for the peace of nations was in serted in the mass at every Catholic Church in the diocese yesterday and similarly from the many Protestant congregations Impromptu supplication was made. "Never in the history of the world was there more need that Christians should pray." said the Rev. J. Q. A. Henry at the White Temple in the morning service. "If you believe that there is a God supreme, who holds the universe in the hollow of his hand and who is able to avert strife even though it seemes inevitable, now is the time that you should make manifest your faith in the power of prayer. "Such a war as impends means in calculable injury to the cause of Chris tianity in the world. To the billion who have not yet accepted the gospel of the Christian religion, think what a cause for distrust and scorn it will be to see men of Christian nations in volved in passions and bloodshed. General Prayer Asked. 'I call upon all believing Christians to supplicate almighty God, beseeching, if it is his will, that the terror that Impends in Europe may be averted." In his evening sermon on "Man. the Glory and the Scandal of ifie Uni verse," Dr. Henry again touched upon the war situation in Europe, declaring that the principal point In which man made himself the scandal of the uni verse was in his giving way to the un reason of passion and mingling in war fare. "The human soul is too valuable to be wasted in the cold-blooded murder of the battlefield," he asserted. '"A few days ago the threats of war In Europe appeared as' bluffs, but now we realize that an awful struggle is imminent," said Rev. E. S. Bollinger, of the Highland Congregational Church. "The terrific struggle prob ably will not last long, but it KM no doubt be so disastrous that the people will be taught a great lesson. -.No one will ever feel like suggest ing another war. I ttrmly believe that it will be the last war waged between civilized nations. The world is not coming to an end. either, as some would have us believe." In his prayer Rev. Mr. Bollinger thanked God for proving the fallacy that strong irmies and navies were the guarantees of peace among men. God's Supremacy Asserted. "I believe that God will overrule the passions of men and that the eventual outcome of the war will be for the good of the world." said Rev. Samuel R. Hawkins, pastor of the Central Christian Church. "The infidelity and the higher criti cism that has weakened the standing of the Christian religion in Europe during the last quarter of a century has helped to bring about this great impending struggle. There can never be peace where the faith in the Bible and God has been undermined. "Then, too, the selfishness of the ruling houses in Europe has been a contributing cauBe. This great war is not a war of the people, it was in spired by the heads of the govern ments." Rev. Mr. Hawkins also made men tion of the war as the principal theme of his sermon. He pleaded that God might avert the awful conflict and bring good out of it with the least amount of evil and without involving this country Members of the Federation of Min isters of Portland have been summoned to meet at a general prayer service at the Y. M. C. A. today to pray that the war mav be stopped and further strife and bloodshed averted. The call for this meeting was issued Saturday by the Rev. S. R. Hawkins, secretary of the Federation of Ministers. PEACE ABROAD, PRAYER REV. W. G. EI.IOT ADVISES THAT WARNING BE TAKEN. Claas-t'onscloiisneiw and Hatred Be tween Nations and Men Is Greatly Deplored. Rev. W. G. Eliot, pastor of the Uni tarian Church, yesterday prefaced his regular sermon with short remarks expressive of his hope that the peace of nations may be preserved. "I cannot begin the appointed and prepared sermon for today," he said, "without a word upon that which at I his hour Is nearest to the heart of everyone the world over who loves his kind. "No one who has studied the life and history of Europe in the past 50 years, in its politics, economics, education and religion, would in the past week ven ture to predict with positive certainty the outcome of the week. Nor is it yet possible to predict with certainty a week aheaii. and much less the issue of the coming year. But this is now practically sure, that we are about to behold the greatest war that has been known In the entire history of the hu man race. 1 invoke for our country a high and honorable place and function in all that can make for a speedy peace upon terms merciful and just. "I pray, furtheremore, that the peo ple of our country may take whole some and effective warning against the dread consequences of inter-racial antipathy, against National and per sonal ambitions that center in mate rial aggrandizement, and against the degenerate children of mammon-lust, class-consciousness and class-hatred deliberately nurtured. I pray that now and hereafter our entire people may increasingly embody all that makes for steadfast good will between man and man and between nation and nation." MAYOR'S STEP APPROVED Rev. D. H. Trimble Praises Plan for Movie Censorship. Mayor Albbee's move for the closer censorship of motion pictures was ad vocated by Rev. Delmer H. Trimble, pastor of the Centenary Methodist Church, in his sermon last night. "The Mayor's proposed ordinance is a step in the right direction." he said. "It should become National In its scope. As a matter of fact, by Federal provi sion all films should be released from the manufacturers only by a board of National censorship. The National censorship now. so-called, is employed bv the trade itself and therefore can be no adequate protection to the public. "Portland doubtless has a body of theater owners ar.d managers who are above the average In ideals, but the best of them scarcely will assert that, interested as they are, they or the ex changes, and, least of all, the manu facturers, should be the sole judges as to the pabulum provided. "The contention of the moving pic ture men that they are unduly dis criminated against as compared with the regular theaters and vaudeville houses may be well based. This, how ever, does not argue that a censorship of their shows should be neglected, but rather that it should extend to plays and vaudeville. "The Mayor is embarking in a field locally, giving us home protection until such time as this subject shall receive at its source, the manufacturer, the Na tional censorship that the safety of our people demands.

RETALIATES Yakima Valley Transportation Trade Xot for Northern Pacific. NORTH YAKIMA, Wash.. Aug. 2. (Special.) The O.-W. R. & N. Co. has announced that after August 10 it will not deliver freight originating on the Yakima Valley Transportation Com pany to the Northern Pacific at Wal lula.

The Yakima Valley Transportation Company is a subsidiary of the Har riman line, and Its branches compose an extensive lnterurban system radiat ing from this city. The move is re garded as part of a contest for the business originating on this system. JOHN H. SIMPSON BURIED Friends at Albany and Prom Cor vallis Attend Funeral. ALBANY. Or., Aug. 2. (Special.)

VANCOUVER. Wash., Aug. 2. (Spe cial.) H. K. Lugger, local manager of the Washington-Oregon Corporation interests in this city, was not aware that his company had been forced into the hands of a receiver until he read it in The Oregonlan today. Mr. Lugger is of the opinion that the company will get its difficulties adjusted and that the water company and the traction company, operated In Vancouver, with the lnterurban line of seven miles to Sifton, will be kept in operation. These two public utilities are gen erally believed to have been making a little money. A serious-minded Englishman read' a pa per before the Royal Statistical Society the other day. in which he recommended that a card index registering the details of the lives of every person should be kept at some central government office. Every per son would have his number, according to this scheme, which already has given con siderable amusement to Punch and the humorists generally. 1 " 1 1 1 " Our War-CIoud Pic tare is the first pub lished In the V.

Democrats, in Name of Economy, A p proprlate Sums for Monuments, But Fall to Tnkc Needed Caution. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Aug. 2. Notwithstanding the united, effort of the Senators from Ore gon and Washington to secure an ap propriation of $60,000 to enable the Coast Survey to purchase and operate wire-drag apparatus for locating sub merged rocks lying in the paths of commerce along the Alaskan coast, and notwithstandinn- the fact that the Sen ate once authorized this appropriation, the economists ot the House of Rep resentatives fought the appropriation, and so determinedly that It ultimately was defeated, and there is now no means by which coast survey work of value may be done along the coast of Aluska. Economy was the excuse advanced by the House democrats. But very close to this item in the sundry civil bill, to which th? House took excep tion, was an appropriation of $250,000 for the erection of a monument to com memorate the victory of Commodore Thomas Macdonough on Lake Cham plain, in September, 1814, and another appropriation of $65,000 for a negro ex position at Richmond, Va. Senator Lane pointed out the necessity for taking precautions to reduce the pos sibility of shipwrecks on the Alaskan coast, Senator Stone, of Missouri, In terrupted to state the situation In a nutshell. "I want to say to the Senator from Oregon," said Senator Stone, "that there would be this consolation rollow. ing the failure of this Alaskan ap propriation; that, if the spirit of liberality in erecting monuments and memorial tablets which has prevailed here of late continues, after a disaster in these waters and a large number of men. women and children have been drowned, he might probably get $200,- 000 appropriated to erect a monument in their memory."

REPUBLICAN RULE SOUGHT Citizens of Once Humming Munici pality Desert Democratic Stand ard After Hard Times Homes of Workers Threatened. BY SHAD O. KRANTZ. GARY, Ind.. Aug. 2. (Special.) This little city, a suburb of Chicago and often referred to as "the model city," furnishes an abundance of con crete evidence of how the recent re duction in the tariff on steel can affect a community and of how that community can demonstrate Its dis satisfaction against the political party that it holds responsible for the tariff reduction. Gary, which ordinarily Is a city of 40,000 people. Is dependent entirely upon the steel Industry. Two years ago when the steel mills were running at full force It was a thriving, pros perous community. Within the last 18 months Gary. Ilk many another Industrial community, has felt the business depression com mon to most parts of the country. Its citizens do not seem to agree on the exact causes of this depression, but they are united in the opinion that the tariff and the present endeavors of Congress to regulate the trusts and restrict their powers, are largely re sponsible. The principal steel plants In Gary are owned or controlled by the United States Steel Company, com monly known as "the steel trust." In this connection the recent primary election in Gary was significant. While the issues before the voters were purely local, the same voters who, less than two years ago. gave a handsome ma jority to the Democratic congressional candidate, gave more than 90 per cent of their strength to the local Republi can ticket. Progressives Mild Tkere. The Progressive party registered only about 5 per cent of the vote and the Democrats not quite 3 per cent. Many Gary residents believe a return of prosperity can be accomplished only through a change in the National Ad ministration and steel workers, mer chants and bankers alike are looking forward to this change. A distressing feature of the present industrial disturbance Is inability of workingmen to complete payment on their homes. Many, who borrowed money from the banks, have notes coming due this year. The bankers are not eager to take advantage of them and foreclose their mortgages. As a result It is probable that most of these notes will have to be renewed. The banks had hoped to have the money available for other purposes. The principal steel plant in Gary is that owned by the Indiana Steel Com pany a subsidiary of the United States Steel Company. Ordinarily it empioyB 8000 men. Now only 6000 men are working and they only three or four days a week. The American Bridge Company, .in other subsidiary of the "trust," op erates a plant with 1200 men. It Is working full time now. The Gary Screw & Bolt Company, is the principal independent concern operating In Gary. It employs 500 men and all of them are working. Only Half Force Working;- The American Sheet & Tlnplate Com pany, another "trust" subsidiary, is working 2000 men on half time. This completes the list ot Industrial plants in Gary. There are no others. Gary has no agricultural district back of it. It is dependent wholly upon its steel plants. A little more than eight years ago the ground upon which Gary stands consisted of a series of dunes on the south shore of Lake Michigan and the area was devoid of vegetation. Along came a group of steel-company directors and bought about 2000 acres of the worBt of this land. Tho noxt day they announced they were to erect mills on a part of this site. Instantly a town sprung up. The steel company had much to do with shaping that town. It was named Gary in honor of Judge Gary head of the steel com bination. The company did a lot of work and expended much money in laying out streets in the business districts and in the residence sections of the city that accompanied ereotlon of their plant. The steel mills front on the lake and shut off a view f the water from the city. A modern hospital was built near the steel plant for use of employes. That's about as far as the plans to build a "model" community were car ried. To those of Its employes who bought homes from the company the most liberal terms were allowed. Now that the plants are running only on part time these men are being "car ried along." BIDDLE TELLS STORY SPORTSMAN ANTHONY ADDRESSES CROWD AT DOCK SERVICES. -Muarular Cbrlattanlty" With Uae of Plata When N'weeaary to Achieve Good Pnrpoae Advocated. PHILADELPHIA, July 26. Long shoremen, "wharf rats," sailors, little ragamuffins and coal passers formed a picturesque background to an other wise commonplace scene recently, when Anthony J. Drexel Blddle ad dressed a large crowd at the twilight dack services at Washington avenue wharf, which are conducted by mem bers of the Seamen's Church Institute, Front and Queen streets. Rev. George S. Gassner, chaplain of the Seamen's Church Institute, as soon as the crowd arrived offered prayer. After the prayer Mr. Blddle was in troduced to the gathering as a "man who can box the beat boxer in the crowd." When Mr. Biddle dropped to his knees on the dirty, cindery door of the platform and prayed for guidance and strength to teach the assembled persons some leBsons of importance there was not a murmur in the audi ence. "Friends and fellow scrappers." he addressed the crowd. "I am going to tell you how Christianity with the 'pep' wins out. First of all. if you will bear with me for a short time, I will give you-a short account of my early life and how. when I was a boy in school, what a despicable 'cuss' I was.

Mr. Blddle told the audience thsi when he became older he drank and gambled sometimes, and In general WM as "jdious a lad as ever lived." At th age of 18. he ran away from home end became a "good sport." He narrated how he boxed some of the best amateur and professional pugilists In the coun try. traveling always under an allar. because he was fearful that his rel atives would hear of his exploits. In later years, Mr. Wddle said, in th" world of business, he trampled up HI the weak and helpless. It was six years ago. however, that he received, as he terms It. "the Power of the Holy Ghost, and believe me. I'm not a bli sorry that I did." Mr. Blddle. after the meeting, refuse to tell who blacked his eye and com pelled him to wear dark glasses.
