Greer, Mgr. and City Editor Uillie Briggs, - - News Reporter PRAYER IX EUROPE AND AMERICA. Three emperors in war-torn Eu rope have asked their subjects to go to a church of the God of Love and Peace, fall on their knees and pray that He will bless their several arms. How grim the Irony of this request! How like a page torn from the feudal past! Divine blessing on arms raised in pride, panic and hate raised not to do justice, not to assail wrong, but i to support arrogance, tyranny! ! The very idea is blasphemy. But here is what you as an Ameri can can do: If given to prayer, you can bend matins and' vespers beg the Son of Peace that the dove shall not return save over a sea of blood; that the only olive branch she shall bring shall be one to laurel that particular nation with victory while in other nations widows are weeping, children are wailing, and Famine stalks abroad in hellish glee. If Turkey shall become a party to this all-world crime, then from St. Sophia the muezzin will call all the faithful to .pray that the God who raised up Mohammed will nerve them with the power of the Everlasting Arms; that He will be with them and of them until they and their allies rise gloriously victorious from an orgy of blood.
