"Resolved, That the Democratic editors of Missouri, in cvonvention assembled, do most heartily indorse the stand taken by President Wilson with respect to the assertion of American rights under international law. We agree with him that If expediency should be allowed to take the place of principle, one humiliation would follow another, and the whole fabric of international law might crumble under our hands. Professing our devotion to peace at any cost save that of honor, we renew expressions of confidence in his ability to save this nation from war, without suffering the rights of its citizens under the law of nations to be violated or abridged.

Recognizing the fact that his service in th cause of peace and mutual good understanding between nations in a time of world war have been of priceless value to humanity, we desire formally to record our unmeasured confidence in his wisdom and his courage in this hour of decision. We pledge our support to the uttermost in any step he may find it necessary to take in order to maintain the honor of the United States of America among the nations." LUTHERANS SAY PRESIDENT YIELDED AMERICAN RIGHTS City Conference Sends Letter White House Protesting Against Unlimited Freedom Demand. A letter signed by President F. Pieper and Profs. F.

Bente and W. H. T. Dau of Concordia Seminary and approved by the City Conference of the Evangelical Lutheran Congregations of St. Louis, has been sent to President Wilson, charging him with yielding American rights and disowning American duties.

In demanding unlimited freedom for Americans to travel the seas. The argument of the letter is that the President, by defending the sale of munitions to belligerents, has surrendered the right of protesting, in a future war, against neutrals selling munitions to America's enemies; that in asserting the right of Americans to be on the Lusitania he disclaimed the right of protecting Americans against the carrying of munitions on passenger ships in the future and that by insisting that Americans have a right to travel on armeji merchantmen he is disowning the right of protecting our submarines against armed merchantmen in the FIVE FIREMEN INJURED AT BLAZE ON MARKET STREET thigh cut; Fred Pelfter, Engine Company No. 13, left hand cut; Joseph Byrne, Salvage Corps, left hand and wrist cut; Edward Fink, Truck No. 13. right hand cut; Fred Lauer, Engine Company No.

14, overcome by smoke. F. W. GARDNER'S AUTO STOLEN 'MjL I Colds Bring" With the intention of demonstrating to Senators Stone, and Reed and the 14 Democratic members of Congress from Missouri that the Democrats of this Ftate are standing1 solidly behind President "Wilson in the controversy -with Congress over the German submarine issue, both the Democratic State Committee and the Missouri Democratic Press Association, at the Planters Ho-ftel last night, unanimously adopted separate resolutions strongly indorsing the President. The Democratic Press Association was represented by the editors of 210 Missouri newspapers.

As a majority of the Missouri Democratic Congressmen favor the passage of a resolution warning American citizens not to embark upon f.rme'd merchantmen, in direct opposition to the views of the President, it was. felt by the editors that a resolution" from an organization of party newspapers would serve ai a warning to the Congressmen that unless they purported the President they might find 'themselves without political support from the editors in their contests for reelection. -All With the President. The keynote of every speech made at the editors' meetings in the afternoon and night was: "We must uphold the hands of President Wilson." The editors, in conversations with reporters, oeclared that President Wrilson was the treat asset of the Democratic party; that his administration had left the Re-publicans practically without an issue ta stand upon, and that the Democratic members of Congress, by threatening a beafcswith him on the submarine issue, were about to create a condition which would result in Democratic defeat in November. Copies of both resolutions were telegraphed to President Wilson.

Hundreds of other telegrams were sent out of St. Louis yesterday to the President, assuring htm that the Democrats were with him in the controversy.
