SETS DAY OF PRAYER
1 FOR EUROPEAN PEACE
President Wilson Monday signed
a proclamation calling on the people
of the United States to pray for
peace in Europe.
The president's proclamation seta
aside Sunday, October 4. as a day of
prayer.
The president's proclamation fol
lows:
“Whereas, Great nations of the
world have taken up arms against
one another and war now draws mil
lions of men Into battle when the
counsel of statesmen hare not been
able to save from the terrible sacii-
flce;
“And Whereas, in this as in all
things H is our privelege and duty
to seek counsel an succor of Al
mighty God, humbling ourselves be
fore Him, confessing our weakness
and our lack of any wisdom equal to
these things;
“And Whereas, it is the special
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, Wqpdrow Wilson,
president of the United States of
America, do designate Sunday, the
fourth day of October next, a day of
prayer and supplication and do re
quest all God-fearing persons to re
pair on that day to their places of
wo r ” K ip, these to unite their peti
tion to Almighty God, that over
ruling the counsel of men, setting
straight the things they can not gov
ern or alter, taking pity on the na
tions 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 nations
without which there can be neither
happiness nor true friendship nor
any wholesome fruit or toil or
thought in the world; praying also
to this end that He forgive us our
Bins, our ignorance of His holy will,
our wilfulness and many errors, and
lead us in the paths of obedience to
places of vision and to thoughts and
counsels that purge and make wise.
“In witness whereof I have here
unto set my hand, and caused the
seal of the United States to be af
fixed.
“Done at the city of Washington
this eighth day of September in the
year of our Lord one thousand, nine
hundred and fourteen and of the in
dependence of the United States of
America the one hundred and thirty-
ninth.
(Signed) “Woodrow Wilson.
“By the President:
- “William J. Bryan,
. “Secretary of State.”
the empire as Involved in a bloody ar
bitrament of might versus right and
urged every able-bodied Brition of
military age to Join the colors. The
premier opened his address with the
heartening announcement that up to
this time fetween 250,000 and 3000,
000 recruits had responded to the
call.
The navy, the premier, indicated,
already was doing its part, it had
sealed up the fleet of Germany, he
said and was thirsty for a trial of
strength In the open. British war
ships, Mr. Asquith said had hunted
the German merchant marine from
the high seas and when the few Ger
man cruisers which still infested the
distant ocean had been disposed of,
as they would be very soon, the navy
would have achieved for .British and
neutral commerce a security as com
plete as it ever had- enjpyed in days
of unbroken peace.
“We rely upon the navy," he said,
“with the most absolute confidence to
guard our shores against the possi
bility of invasion and to seal up the
gigantic battleships of the enemy^ in
inglorious seclusion of their own
ports whence from time to time they
steal forth to sow the sea with mur
derous snares which are more full of
menance to neutral ahipping than to
the British fleet; and while the Brit
ish Navy does all this it Is thirsty for
s trial of strength In a fair and open
fight which is so far prudently denied
It.”
“We now find ourselves involved
with the whole strength of the em
pire in a bloody arbitrament of might
versus right,” the^. premier declared
“that has been entered Into with clear
Judgment and a clear conscience,
what would have been our place
among the nations if we had been
base enough or so paralyzed in our
sense of honor and duty to be false
to our word and faithless to our
friends? We should have been
standing by with folded arms and
with such countenance as we could
command while this small and unpro
tected state, Bolgum, was defending
her vital liberties and making a he
roic stand against overwhelming
forces."
The premier detailed the heroic ef
forts of the Belgrian forces and
enumerated countless outrages on
part of what he termed “buccaneer
ing adventures." He declared that
greatest crime against civilization
was the sacking of Louvian. “This
shameless holocaust,” the premier
continued; “was performed by blind
barbarian vengeance. * Sooner than
stand aside^We would see this country
of ours blotted out from the pages of
history."
As to the progress oi the war the
premier declared that in his judg
ment in whatever direction ho looked
there was abundant grounds for pride
and comfort. “I will say more," he
said, “because I think we should bear
in mind that \ye are at the present
time watching the fluctuations of
fortune in the early stages of what is
going to be a protracted struggle.
We must cultivate patience, endur
ance and steadfastness and every one
must do his or her appropriate part
in the common cause.”

German Trawler Sunk by British in
North Sea
In confirmation of the story that
mines have been laid in the North
Sea by vessels disguised as neutral
fishing boats, a woman who arrived
at Londan form Bergen tells of the
sinking of • such a mine-layer by a
British cruiser.
The ship on which she was travel
ing found itself one morning close to
a number of British cruisers, one of
which had caught a German trawler
flying the Norwegian flag and engag
ed in laying mines.
According to this woman the Brit
ish commander gave tho crew of. the
trawler three minutes in which to
leave their vessel, and they came
tumbling over the side of the passen-
y ship. Then the cruiser backed u''

The High Water Marfa of Those Who

fare in Europe,—Tills Country Apt
To Become Home of Undesirables
Had President Wilson signed the
immigration bill passed by Congress
during his administration, instead of
vetoing It and causing its ultimate de
feat by a small margin in the House,
of Representatives, the United States
would be in a much less uneasy posi
tion with regard to the multitudes of
immigrants who will be knocking at
our doors after the European war is
ended. *. .
We have had some record-break
ing immigration during the past few
years, but these records, says K. Fos
ter Murray, in the News and Courier',
will be small compared witii the mil
lions who will rush across the ocean
to our land of peace the moment the
greatest clash of arms in history has
come to its conclusion. There will
be hordes of pauperized and famished
unfortunates in every nation in the
war zone who will look to America
as a haven from the turmoil and hor
rors of European Imperialism.
Surely we should take measures to
protect ourselves against this inun
dation. It is as certain to engulf us
as tlie sun of to-morrow is to rise, un
less the dykes of legislation are rais
ed against It while there is yet time.
Fortunately there Is time; but there
Is none to lose. The immigration bill
which has passed the House of Re
presentatives at the present session
and has been hung up In the Senate
for months, largely because of politi
cal timidity on the eve of Congress
ional election, ought to be called up
from Its resting place and passed by
the Senate also. Under existing con
ditions the President would think a
long while before repeating the per
formances of CUVeland and Taft and
vetoing measure. •
The bill which would doubtless be
passed by the Senate if it could be
brought to' a vote would not by any
means stop immigration It would
merely sift it. It chief feature Is the
literarcy test. There has been great
argument over this criterion of immi
gration. but the consensus of Con
gressional opinion is that of all the
methods offered it is on the whole the
most effective and the least objection
able.
The point is not that literacy in it
self is necessarily the best of the de
sirability of any individual immi
grant. Nobody with any breadth of
mind contends that the ability to read
and write constitutes the proof of
good morals and sound Intellect. The
simple fact is that the figures of our
immigration show that the sections of
Europe from which our lease desir
able immigration comes are ttie sec
tions in which the percentage of illit-
erarcy is lowest, while the sections
from which our most desirable immi
gration comes are tho sections where
the percentage of illiteracy is small
est. The proper test of a fly-screen,
as Senator E. D. SmUh, (chairman Of
the Immigration committee,) has said
is whether or not it keeps out the
flies.
If we manage wisely by passing
judicious restrictive legislation now,
while the war is going on, we shall

dreds of thousands, if not millions of
the best and most substantial citizens
of the unliappy. countries which have
been ravaged by military frenzy, will
be anxious to bring their families and
resources to a country where they
will be removed from this menace.
Millions of the sturdy European class
es who have only a little property
and only a little education, but who
have made a comfortable livlihood as
long as there was peace, will also
wish to become Americans, and we
should be glad to receive them with
in a reasonable limitation of num
bers.
The absolute riff-raff, however, the
paupers and the primitive, we cannot
afford to admit. We have “gone the
limit" in this business, and further
indulgence would be suicidal.
Wholesale and indiscriminate ad
mission of-immigrant legions from.
Europe is dangerous not only because
of the differences between these peo
ples and ou'rselves, but also because

PRECAUTION AGAINST FIRE.

Insurance Companies Stress Serious
ness of a Conflagration.
Fire insurance companies are en
deavoring toMmpress upon the public
the importance of special care in Che
matter of fire prevention at this par-
tidjlar'-rtirre.
Ow Ing to the terrible state of af
fairs in Europe, which affects the en
tire United States more or less in
every direction, attention is called'to
the results of a conflagration. As
the stock exchanges are closed the
insurance companies would have no
market for their securities in .case
they were called upon for a large
amount of money for loses that might
be sustained by an extensive tire or
conflagration. Naturally, they look
for the help of every one to prevent
such occuring. This advice is pri
marily intended for sections in which
an enormouse fire loss might occur,
but all thoughtful parsons will real
ize the situation and remember that
any loss.’’of whatever size, will have

roVKT DECISION CLARIFIES
IM HE FOOD LAW.
On June 13. 1914. the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals, sit
ting at Cincinnati in the Sixth Fed
eral District, handed own a decD on
confirming the judgment of the I.ne'
er Court in ttie Coca Cola case. This
case w as originally brought be r or •
Judge Sanford of the District Court
of the United States for the Eastern
District of Tennessee on March 13.
1911, and was tried at great length
before a jury at Chattanooga. Tenu.
A score of scientists, including the
most eminent chemists, pharmaco
logists and physicians of America,
testified as expert witnesses. At the
conclusion of the trial the govern
ment withdrew ail of the charges ex
cept two and 911 these two the Court
instructed the jury to return a ver
dict lr tavo»- fbe Coca Cola com
pany
The case was then appealed, and
thfe recent decision of the Circuit
Court of Appeals at Cincinnati, con
firming the judgment of the Lower
Court, sustains the claim of The Coca
Cola Company that its product is
neither adulterated nor misbranded
within the meaning of the Pure Food
Act.
The following quotation from the
official court record will prove inter
esting alike to the manufacturers and
consumers of food products as it
gives a clear exposition of one of the
most important sections of the Pure
Food law, and also defines the char
acter of Coca Cola, the popular soda
fountain beverage. It reads as fol
lows:
"There is a middle view, which is
sufficient for the purposes of this case
and which will recognibe the com
posite meaning of ‘added deleterious'
rather than the separate meaning of
each word. This view is that in us
ing the word added’ with reference
to a possible deleterious food ingre
dient, Congress had in mind an addi
tion above and beyond the quantity
in which such ingredient was nor
mally found in usual and customary
articles of food, and that no such in-
-•edient should be considered as ‘add-
d’ if it was present only in the quant
ity in w hich it existed in these com
mon articled of food with which every
member of Congress was familiar,
and which had generally been
thought wholesome. For example:
Creosate and other products of de
structive wood distillation are,, inde
pendently considered, injurious, but
they have always been present in
smoked hams. Can the addition of
the same preservaties to the same ex
tent to the same meat be something
that Congress intended to prohibit?
The boric acid, found in apples, is a
preservative. If certain apples which
are to be preserved are not up to the
maximum in this element, did Con
gress intend to forbid supplying the
deficiency by the same element from
another source? Acetic acid may,,of
course, he injurious, but if, by its
use, an artiflqial vinegar is made
which is chemically and in every way
equivalent to the natural vinegar
familiar to the members of Congress
in many compounds, would they hav^
thought it as a deleterious addition?
No example is so clear as the very
one here involved. Every member of
Congress had been familiar, from
childhood, with tea and coffee: per
haps most of them drank it. «.The
average cup of coffee contains more
than two grains of caffeine; the aver
age cup of tea. one and one-half
grains. A glass of Coca Cola, as con
sumed, contairts one and one-fifth
grains of caffeine. • The chemical
qualities and the physiological effects
of the caffeine which is in the tea or
coffee and of the caffeine which is in
the Coca Cola are rtfeclsely the same.
We are. quite convinced that the use
in an artificial beverage of a certain
element which had been one of its
characteristic elements for many
years, when such use was in a less
proportion than the same element
was known to make up in different
mYtirai beverages" than" in unlversa
use and generally thought wholesome
—that such an element so employed
copld not have been within the mean
ing of Congreaa when if chose the
words 'added deleterious ingred
ient’. ’-J-Advertlsement.
