Kane of Bellows Falls Starts to Speaks to Medium Sized Congregation In Methodist Church on General Subject of Peace. Speaking before a medium-sized congregation in the Methodist church last evening, Mrs. Lucia Ames Mead of Boston delivered a forceful address on the general theme of Peace. Mrs. Mead first explained that a Christianity of ecclesiasticlsm and ritualism had not saved the world from the horror of war, and even something more than the teaching of Jesus on goodwill is necessary today.

A new philosophy is needed, a philosophy that will not only believe that human nature can be improved, but that believes war can be relegated to the past. Brotherhood depends on peace. There are two kinds of war, civil and International. The Revolutionary war and the Civil are examples of the first, while our five foreign wars are examples of the second. These, are in different categories and must not be confused.

Without casting reflection on the past, Mrs. Mead pointed out that one can well think p. terms of peace now. Before, there were no organizations as now to foster peace, no arbitration treaties, no permanent court, no League of Nations. Today, with the machinery for peace, war, like slavery and dueling, should become a thing of the past.

Mrs. Mead pointed out clearly the difference between rival and non-rival force. She thought It quite likely that the world would never be beyond need of non-rival or police force, controlled by the collective powers, but made it very plain that military or rival force was now unnecessary. Armaments increase rivalry; rivalry increases fear; and these lead to distrust, jealously, I taxation and talk of supposed dan-About 5 JO the same morning Mr, gers.

WHITE PLAINS, N. Sept.

16 (IP). Earl Francis Peacox, 22-year-old radio operator, was placed on trial today for the killing of his wife, Dorothy Hein-zelman Peacox, 21, before Supreme Court Justice Arthur S. Tompkins. It was apparent at tjie- outset that both sides anticipated difficulty In selecting a jury, although 150 talesmen have been drawn. Dist.

Atty. Frank A. Coyne appeared a few minutes after the prisoners arrival, prepared to demand the death penalty. Atty. Sidney A.

Syme, chief counsel for Peacox, followed the states representative into the courtroom, prepared to claifii that the killing of the bride on her first wedding anniversary at Peacoxs home In Mount Vernon, was an accident, in the course of a quarrel. The charred body of Dorothy Peacox was found beside a lonely Westchester road last April 27, six days after her husband is alleged to have strangled her. Authorities said Peacox confessed the killing, and burning the body to hide the girls identity. The killing occurred after Peacox said he had attempted a reconciliation with the wife from whom he had been estranged. Investigation brought out that the husband had been friendly with other girls and that the young wife had been in company with other men.
