EL PASO HERALD Tuesday, January 4, 1916. 3 TO SEC1E PUCE Church Often Wages War of Prejudice Instead of Tliat the should unite in teaching peace and cease waging wars "for socalled convictions, which too often are was the declaration of Rev. Perry J. Rice at the union services held Monday night in Trinity Methodist church. It was the first service in the series being held this week in observance of the of Rev.

W. F. Packard, pastor of the church, presided and conducted the opening service of song and prayer. The Trinity quartet was present and rendered a selection and Mesdames Howe and Bates Hughes Evans sang duet. A very excellent audience present.

Rev. Mr. Rice, pastor of the First Christian church, preached the sermon of the evening on the subject: international and Two Counter Mr. Rice said: "Two counter currants are discernible in the stream of human history, each or wnlch flows swift and deep. The one is the stream of war.

the other is the stream of peace. Men have been fighting animals from the beginning. We have always glorified war and honored the heroes of war and we do so until this day, prompted, doubtless, by a worthy impulse. But always people have longed for peace. have been written of peace, poets have sung about it and prophets have anticipated it.

There is no deeper desire in humanity than this age old desire for peace. Will it ever come? I believe it will. Fundamentals of Peace. we are to have peace, however, two or three fundamental considerations are necessary. In the first place, we shall have to broaden our idea of patriotism.

There is a place in the sun for every nation. Slowly we are coming to recognize the fact. The Romans applauded an unadulterated hate for foreigners. The Greeks called all other peoples barbarians, and the Jews called them pagans. We have gone forward a little but still speak of and A true patriotism compels one to love own country and to love also every other country in the world.

Spiritual Forces In Peace. too, if we are to have peace, we must have the true value of spiritual forces. We are strikingly materialistic in our thought of things. We still think in terms of the material and forget that the mightiest forces in the universe are not material. Out of this feeling conies our desire to increase armaments.

We want to meet force with force. Jesus said: that take the sword shall perish by the but we do not believe it though every generation of human history witnesses to the truth of it. Would that our own country might now hear and heed it. The Dogmatic War. if we are to have peace, we must have a new definition of religion.

Let us be humble enough and honest enough to confess it. The institution founded by the Prince of Peace has not always promoted peace. She has striven and waged war for her socalled convictions, which too often were her prejudices. Harold Begbie recently said: religion was dying before the war. Now the war has come to teach us that religion is self sacrifice, devotion and Religion thus conceived is the mightiest promoter of peace, and peace will come when the church unitedly advocates Tile service tonight will be held in the First Baptist church and Rev.

Chas. L. Overstreet, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, will preach the sermon The choir of the First Baptist church has arranged a beautiful program, of which Charles Andrews will be the director, and every effort will be made to make this meeting one of the very best of the whole week.

Why not start the New Year right by opening an account with JUST THE SAME or Credit. Washington, D. fence outlined by army and navy strategists are now declared to contemplate an attack upon the United States by two powers, striking from the Atlantic and the Pacific side at same time in an effort to break down the pan-American alliance proposed to be effected by the United States with all nations of the American continent. A navy equal in strength to those of any two world powers, and an army prepared to fight for the integrity of the pan-American idea anywhere in pan-America, is the ultimate extreme of the plans of the military experts. Ten years is the time the navy general board believes the United States has in which to prepare for a readjustment of world forces which follow the European war.

In setting 1925 as the time when the United States navy should equal any means reaching the two power- standard of the British navy, the board estimated that much time would elapse before the shock of the present war passed sufficiently to permit any of the belligerents to look to South and Central America for colonial development, or aggression. Are Significant. While the administrative branch of the government has submitted to congress a definite plan which contemplates an increased expenditure of more than a billion of dollars on the military and naval establishments in the next six years, all other agencies of the government are acting to unify and harmonize the pan-American nations. To students of diplomacy, the pan- American declarations of president Wilson in his opening address to congress; the declarations for pan-American -unity made to the Pan-American Scientific congress here by secretary Dan sing, and the general effort of the unity of all the Americas on a basis of friendship and equality, take on added significarle when considered in connection with the preparedness plans. I S.

Wants Prompt Action. Significance also is seen in the disclosure that an effort to postpone the Pan-American congress on the ground that sufficient time had not been given to prepare an adequate scientific program, was met by the statement that the United States was insistently desirous of taking prompt steps to further the spirit of pan-American accord, confidence, sympathy and mutuality. South AmerScan Approve. South American capitals uniformly report that the is regarded there as more political than scientific and that approbation of the sentiment of unity is freely expressed. With the military problem agreed upon and defined the two boards of strategists were asked what, in their opinion, would constitute adequate national defence.

Their answer was to builu a two power navy and organize a federal army of sufficient size so that a portion of it could be used in any southern country against a foreign invader without impairing the safety of the United States itself. Army-Navy To accomplish this the general board then recommended for the navy: in 1916-1917 of S300.000.000 in new ships as against a total investment in fighting equipment now afloat, during the last -30 years of $459,668,561. of four battle cruisers and four dreadnoughts under this program. of ship building facilities to admit of even heavier building programs in succeeding years. For the army the war college recoin- mended.

I in 1916-1917, of approximately $500.000,000 to produce a mobile army under federal control which with its reserves would total 1,500,000 in six years; 500,000 fully trained regulars and the remainder continentals. by 50 percent the equipment and personnel of the coast artillery in four years at a total cost of $81,000,000. in four years of reserve ammunition and material worth $104,000,000. The Administration's Plan. In of the enormous, and what they regarded as almost prohibitive cost of these proposals, secretary Daniels and secretary' Garrison mapped out the billion dollar six year program which president Wilson has laid before congress, providing essentially as follows: the navy: construction within five years costing $500,000,000, which will add six battlecruisers and ten dreadnoughts the fighting line by 1924.

during 1916-1917, of two battle cruisers and two dreadnoughts w-ith proportionate numbers of smaller craft. of the remainder of the building program through the next four years at a rate of $100,000,000 a year. For the navy: within six years of approximately $600,000,000 to produce a total mobile federal force of a million men, 141,000 regulars and 800,000 continentals, this force to be in addition to the national guard now numbering 129,000. of the full $8.1,000,000 recommended by the war college, and board of review for new coast de- fsnce I of the full $104,000,000 recommended by the experts for re- i serve material.
