Redfield Impress Throng at St. Ann's. waVitaa and tribute praying to for America's world heroic And the success of the Limitation of Armament Conference at Washington, all the Protestant churches Brooklyn commemorated Armistice Day last night special services. Nearly 2,000 united in with, prayer led by the Rt. Rev.

Frederick Burgess, Bishop of the P. E. Diocese of Long Island, at St. Ann's Church Clinton and Livingston during ArDay service held there last mistice, subdued tones they uttered the following words: God, we beseech Thee to be present with the conference of the governments of the world now assembled in Washington to promote disarmament and to advance international peace." The hope expressed in this prayer was re-echoed by the bishop his sermon and also by William Cox Redfield, former Secretary of Commerce, who addressed the assemblage. Burgess said, in part: "No one can forget the thrill of joy which penetrated every part of this great city and every section.

of the country when, three years ago, the news flashed from wire to wire that the war was over and the guns were silenced. Those whose dear ones had died upon the battlefields of France, and those who the day before had dreaded to scan lists, could unite together in sympathy; and mingled with piness of the others was deep sense sadness of ones and the hapgratitude to the young, brave American army which had stood between the enemy and Paris and helped to turn back the tide of battle. "Beside the grave of the representtative of that army the whole nation has stood in silence and in prayer today. "But now, after three years, we find ourselves asking in regard to the future. Was it, as we said so often, a war to end all war? Or are we to look struggle forward of the nations, which more will deadly the prepared for in the chemist's laboratory and will result in the wiping out of cities and a wholesale murder of its citizens? Money will not count.

The bankers are powerless to prevent war. Already, it is true, America has mortgaged heavily her splendid sources of wealth. If another war on A world area comes it can mean little less than the downfall of the world. A Critical Period. "We are living in a critical period and we ask ourselves what is coming.

'Shall Christ conquer or The answer to these question will depend, humanly speaking, upon this Conference which the President has called and which opens in Washington today. Unless we, the people, have been cruelly deceived, it is a sincere attempt on the part of the nations bordering on the Pacific to save mankind from another devastating and perhaps a war. "But there a are countless ones amongst us who plead not so much for a limitation of armaments as for a limitation of the kinds of armament which a nation may use at the present time. We want warfare, if it must come, to be at any rate humane, 1. not absolutely abhorrent to men made in God's image.

It is in danger of becoming brutal, cruel, beyond the power or imagination of the American Indian or the Tartar torture. In olden times, if a city or a country was besieged or surrounded they could save their women and children by lation or by treaty. But now great sleeping cities are to be attacked by night by the airplanes without any warning, and God's free air is to be poisoned so that not only the combatants but the noncombatants shall perish. These things cry up to Heaven for judgment against a civilization which calls itself Christian. "The time has come for the Christian nations to protest in the name of Jesus Christ.

Let us hope that this Conference may act wisely and strongly." Warning of Civilization. Mr. Redfield said: "We all are witnesses that the Latin poet was right when he said the descent to Hades was but that to reverse our steps and to ascend again to the upper air--this was the task; this was, the serious labor. It would seem that experience should teach us that war was an evil to be so dreaded that men would shrink front it' in horror. The pain misery it causes.

The grief it brings and the sorrow it involves. Surely the experience of these teaches us to avoid war. Yet history tells plainly that men do not learn this lesson from experience. "Righteousness cries with a mighty voice against war. It tells of lust and cruelty that come with it, of hatred and vengeance that follow in its train.

And righteousness speaks truly, but its when voice greed has or the often love gone of nowhended called force into the arena. "And now civilization itself speaks, warning that it and all we value in it may itself collapse under the dire destruction of scientific warfare. Yet there is definite danger that the voice of civilization itself may cry without hearing until it is too late. "So, before we forget, while our Josses are fresh, our burdens heavy and visible, and memories keen, men meet while the voices of experience, economics, righteousness and civilization may still be heard, to do something to remove the causes of war, to attack the dread evil at its root. "And this root is mutual distrust, arising often from suspicion based on ignorance.

We do not know one another well enough to understand each other. Superficial differences are exaggerated, essential harmonies are unknown or unnoticed. "We have not fully learned ourselves the lesson that our own country is strong enough to be calmly fearless, wise enough to keep its poise and that our very power should lead us to be an international gentleman. To coin a phrase by adaptation of a famous one, 'puissance hope, then, to take a first step, hardly more. But this the victory, for it is the first step that costs.

The goal is clear. mutual goodwill among peoples. Marshal Foch has finely said, promise of peace on the first Christmas morning was to 'men of good Gen. Lincoln C. Andrews, U.

in speaking on "Disarmament." said: "How are we to get along without war? By government. It will be necessary to trace back to the origin of man in order to arrive at the form of government needed, but out of the soul, of the masses will come the answer." A choir of 120 from six Brooklyn churches sang hymns in which the people joined. Many Brooklyn clergy- were present. Dr. Butler Speaks.

Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, prest- dent of Columbia University, addressed large audience at the community Armistice Day service held last night in the Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian Church, of which the Rev. Dr. Charles C. Albertson is pastor.

Comparing the Armistice anniver. the founding of Rome, the downfall sary as ranking in importance with of the Western Hemisphere, the discavery of America, or the Declaration of Independence, Dr. Butler directed his theme toward the words of President Harding in his speech at Arlington yesterday morning where the President said: must be, there shall be, the commanding voice of a conscious civilization against armed warfare. "Armaments are the outgrowth of policies," Dr. Butler declared.

"If we would get rid of armaments, or rather limit them to the necessities of ordinary police protection, we must get at the policies and we must deal with those policies in ways which will suggest themselves. What I want to emphasize is that responsible American citizens. are face to face with great questions of policy." Discussing reduction of naval armaments, Dr. Butler said: "The solution for this problem the open agreement among the great nations as to the rules that govern the sea, and the joint guarantee that those rules will be enforced. Then armaments will disappear." Objects Must Be Spiritual.

If materialistic instead of spiritual objects are sought at the Disarmament Conference in Washington it will be a failure, was the opinion complete, Herbert Spencer, who spent the past seven years a in Latin America and who last night addressed the congregation of the Church of the Evangel, Bedford ave, and Hawthorne st. Mr. Spencer claimed that the solution of the world's problems, the object of the Conference, will come only from spiritual motives. He said his investigation leads him to believe the conferees have come to this country with the materialistic side of the problems overshadowing all else. He cited as an example the interviews in the newspapers in which no mention is made of the lives that will be saved by the impossibility of future wars while the saving of money now paid as taxes for the upkeep of armies is stressed.

Another speaker was ex-Congressman Frederick W. Rowe who explained the various questions that will have to be discussed at the Conference. Messenger of Peace. "Christ is knocking at the chamber door of the potentates of the world today, and our President, in calling an international Disarmament Conference. at messenger Washington, is desire acting for the as peaceful settlement of all disputes and for the abolition of organized murder," said the Rev.

Dr. W. A. Richard, presiding at the Union Armistice Day Service of Andrews M. E.

Church, at Richmond and Etna last night. An unexpected guest was William Watson, one of the first settlers of Cypress Hills section and a' Civil War veteran. He gave some reminiscences of his three years fighting for the Union and "Father Abraham." The Rev. Dr. O.

W. Craig offered a prayer for the three heroes from the congregation who lost their lives in France, and the Charles Prince Post, American Legion, was present to honor its deceased comrades. Humanity on the March. "Humanity has struck its tents and is on the march." It was with this quotation, attributed to General Smuts of South Africa, that Raymond B. Fosdick began his address last night at the Armistice Day service held in the Bushwick Avenue Central M.

Church, Bushwick ave. and Madison street. "When the history of the Twentieth Century is written, Nov. 11, 1921 will be considered the most fateful day of that period. It is on this day that the decision is being made whether war is to end or to continue.

If the Disarmament Conference now beginning its sittings at Washington should fail it will mean that the superstructure of civilization will come crashing about our heads." Flatbush Services. Five items in the cost of disarmament were discussed by the Rev. Dr. William Pearson Merrill, LL. pastor of the Brick Presbyterian Church, at the Armistice Day mass meeting in the interest of the limitation of armament, held at St.

Mark's M. E. Church. Ocean ave. and Beverly last evening.

"It is easy to the cost of armament," he count, it is not so easy to see what disarmament will cost. This is not a time for rhapsodies about the golden streets of a rew order; it is a time to get down to brass tacks. Disarmament will mean, first, a. definite and complete abandonment of the whole policy of nationalism. By that I do not mean the abandonment of patriotism.

Patriotism is a sacred instinct. The the more he will be interested in more a no patriot loves his own country internationalism. "Second, disarmament will mean clear thinking on our international policies; third, hearty acceptance of the necessity of international arbitration, and tourth, great growth of selfcontrol in national life. This selfcontrol means that we must stamp cut all racial prejudice." The last item in the cost of Cisarmament mentioned by Dr. Merrill was that we should make peace as interesting and honorable as war is r.ow.

Members of more than thirty a Protestant churches of Flatbush were present. The service was under the auspices of the Brooklyn Federation of Churches. The Rev. Dr. Lewis T.

Reed presided. "The Last War and the Next', was the subject of an address given the Rev. Wallace Gallup of the are Greene Avenue Presbyterian Church, last night, to several hundred at an Armis tice Day service in that church. The Rev. Mr.

Allison Ray Heaps of the Lewis Avenue Congregational Church also gave an address. Two hours of prayer were observed yesterday afternoon by the members of the W.

C. T. U. its headquarters, 206 Schermerhorn in commemorating Armistice Day. The Rev.

Andrew Wood, assistant pastor of the Hanson Place M. E. Church, addressed the meeting on his idea of international government. He mentioned three qualities necessary for international peace.

Flag Ceremony. At Greenwood Baptist Church. 7th ave. and 6th the Rev. Roloix Harlan, who has just returned from Europe, gave an interesting talk on conditions in the war -torn countries.

He pointed out that in Germany men who are observing conditions in that country differ as to their ideas of economic conditions, some believing that Germany will be one of the first countries to regain her foothold while others regard Germany as being on the verge of bankruptcy. According to the speaker's views the latter condition is correct. He described the students in the University in Berlin to be an undernourished looking lot of individuals, while a spirit of discouragement seems to have enveloped the whole German people.

Second, the war has taught us that we can have no world worth living in until the nations realize that they are all bound up together."
