ASKS CHRISTIANS TO PRAY To Kepair to Their llespective Places of Worship and I'nite in Supplication. Washington, Sept. 8.?Preisdent Wilson today signed a proclamation calling on the people of the United States to pray for peace in Europe. The President's proclamation follows: "Whereas, great nations of the world have taken up arms against one another and war now draws millions of men into battle when the counsel of statesmen have not been able to save from the terrible sacrifice. "And, whereas, in this as in all things, it is our privilege and duty to seek counsel and succor of Almighty God. humbling ourselves before Him. confessing our weakness and our lack of any wisdom equal to these things. "And. whereas, it is the especial wish and longing of the people of the United States, in prayer and counsel and all friendliness, to serve the cause of peace. "Therefore, I. Woodrow Wilson, President of the I'nited States of \merica, do designate Sunday, the 4th day of October next, a day of prayer and supplication and do request all God-fearing persons to repair on that day to their places of worship, there to unite their petitions to Almighty God, that overruling the counsel of men, setting straight the things they cannot govern or alter, taking pity on the natinns now in the throes of conflict, in His mercy and goodness showing a way where men can see none. He vouchsafe His children healing peace again and restore once more that concord among men and nation? without which there can be neither happiness nor true friendship noi any wholesome fruit of toil 01 thought in the world; praying alsc to this end that He forgive us out sins, our ignorance of His holy will our wilfulness and many errors, an*' lead us in the paths of obedience tr places of vision and to thoughts anc counsels that purge and make wise "In witness whereof I have here unto set my hand, and caused th< seal of the United States to b< afflved, "Done at the city of Washingtoi this 8th day of September, in th< year of our Lord one thousand, nin< hundred and fourteen, and of the in dependence of the United States o America the one hundred and thirty ninth.

I judge from the papers thai hundreds of thousands of young met have been killed or wounded in the European war during the past fe*v weeks: I do not see any prospect ol stopping the war until hundreds o thousands (possibly millions) raon are killed and wounded.

There is another problem, ho* ever, which, though in no wise i 'serious as the first, is none the le worth considering. The Unft< States imports some two billion dr - lars worth of goods each year, 1 large portion ol them coming fro - the nations at war, German > Prance, Belgium, and other cou e i tries involved are our source of su s ply for many articles in common d ?? mand. Their industries, partlcula || ly those of Germany, will be crippl s ' and, perhaps, in some instant ! crushed. This condition though ei s: barrassing at the outset, shou p|serve as a stimulus to American e d | ergy and invention.
