Washington, May 9.-A c. the democratic party to go int campaign standing four squa favor of the treaty of Versaillt against the senate's reservation issued tonight by President "V in a telegram to Oregon demo leaders made public at the 1 House. Declaring that the part; the "honor of the nation" hands, the president said tha Lodge reservations were "utter consistent" with that honor as as destructive of the rule o: world leadership which the U States must assume. The only true Americanism president said, "was that which. America at the front of free na and redeems the great proi which we made to the world, would be a violation of such p ises, he said to attach reserva to the treaty which "whittle it c or weaken it as the republican 1 ers propose to do."

Please wire whether you sider it important to nominate ca dates pledged to ratify Versa treaty without Lodge reservatio The reply of the; president folk "I think it imperative that the ] ty should at once proclaim itself uncompromising champion of the tion's honor and the advocate everything that the United Sti can do in the service of human that it should therefore, endorse support the Versailles treaty and demn the Lodge reservations as terly unconsistent with the nati( honor and destructive of the wc leadership which it had establish and which all the free peoples of world, including the great pow themselves, had shown themsel ready to welcome. "It is time that the party sho proudly avow that it means to t without flinching or turning at a -''time away from the path for r sons of expediency, to apply mo and Christian principles to the pn lems of the world. It is trjjing to J complish social, political and int national reforms and is not daunt by any of the difficulties it has contend with. Let's prove to our li associates in the war that at any rs the great majority party of the n tion, the party which expresses t true hopes and purposes of the pe pie of the country, intends to ke faith with them in peace as well in war.

It is in this way we shall redeem the sacred blood that was shed and make America the force she should be in the counsels of mankind. She cannot afford to sink into the place that nations have usu ally occupied and become merely one of those who scramble and look about for selfish advantage. "The democratic party has now a great opportunity to which it must measure up. The honor of the nation is in its hands. "WOODROW WILSON." . Senator Lodge, republican/ leader in the senate, issued a brief state ment after having heard President Wilson's message to the Oregon democrats. "I cannot undertake to discuss it in detail," he said, <:but politically speaking I am very glad he has tak en the position he has. It fully jus tifies all the opposition of the repub lican party in the senate and those who joined with the republicans."

Right cf Women to Fill Pulpits Philadelphia, May 8.-Whether women shall be allowed to fill the pulpits of Presbyterian churches or to act as elders, will be one of the important questions considered at the 132nd annual meeting 'of the general assembly of the Presbyterian church, beginning here May 20. At the last general assembly a special committee was appointed to determine the views of the constitu ency on whether women should hold official position in the church organi zation. Dr. S. Hall Young, chairman, is withholding all information on the report. A serious discussion is an ticipated on the measure of the con tinued participation of the church in the Interchurch World Movement. The New Era Movement, the In terchurch World Movement, an or ganized union of Christianity, the relation of church and industry, and the killing of Christians by Turks are the most important subjects to be discussed. The 100th anniversary of the Presbyterian board of education, which now is combined with the col lege board in the general board of education, and fiftieth anniversary of the women's board of foreign mis sions will be observed in connection with the meeting. Dr. James Gray Bolton, chairman of the publicity committee, points out in connection with the new era and interchurch movements that from 1690 to 1919 the Presbyterian church lias grown from ten ministers, eighteen churches and 1,000 commu nicants to 9,918 ministers, 9,805 churches and 1,603,033 members. The communicants, who are those on the roll in good standing, represent a Presbyterian constituency of 6,000, 000, including baptized children and adherents who are not members. In 1789, the year in which appears the first record of benevolence for work outside the Presbytery or the individual church, there was $852 de voted to this purpose. In 1919 'the amount contributed for benevolence was $11,485,327. Dr. John McDowell, secretary of the board of home missions and di rector of the department of social service in the New Era Movement, will submit an exhaustive report on the relation of the church to indus try. This is in accord with directions given at the preceding general as sembly. i Dr. McDowell has conferred with employers and employees. His effort, has been to reconcile differences alpng Christian lines. Establishment of1 schools for foremen is one sugges tion he makes, in belief that fore men are frequently the cause of clashes.
