DELAY GELEBRATING WKINLEY BIRTHDAY "Suggestion of President in i Letter to Milton E. Ailes i Is Adopted. President Harding, in a letter to Milton E. Ailes of the Ohio Society of ‘Washington yesterday, suggested that the celebration planned by the soclety in honor ef William McKinley's birth- @ay be definitely postponed until Jan- uary 29 next. The governing board of the society, meeting yesterday, ac- cepted this suggestion. The meeting was to have been held last January, ‘but was postponed out of respect to the Knickerbocker Theater victims.j A tentative date ‘was then set, but this became’ impossible. as it fell Within the Lenten sedfson. The President had promised to at- tend this postponed meeting, which ‘was also to be a reception, and yes- terday made known his intention to be present at the celebration next January. Sorry for Delays. . His letter to Mr. Ailes follows: “I have been more than a little an- noyed about the inconvenience which has been imposed upon my friends of the Ohio Society in the matter of fixing a date for their proposed en- tertainment. “I am genuinely sorry that their generous wish to have the occasion fall on a date when Mrs. Harding and myself could be present should have caused difficulties. As you have recalled, the gathergig was once postponed because the date first se- lected came immdiately following the Knickerbocker Theater disaster, and later & tentative date became im- possible because it fell within holy Week. . “I find myself very much in sym- pathy with yodr suggestion that these postponements have been cal- culgted to deprive the occasion of the character originally designed for it—that is, an observance of Presi- dent McKinley’s birthday. The es- pecial appropriateness of such an observance by the Ohio community of Washington has seemed to me so great as to justify a further post- ponement until next January, when it could be held on that anniversary. I am_sure that all the Ohio” people would be doubly pleased to do honor to the martyred statesman and Pres- ident who brought so much of honor to Ohio. . “As you have been kind enough to indicate a wish to conform your ar- rangements to my own feelings and desires, I am going to be quite frank and say that it would be most pleas- ing to me if there could be an agree- ment of this kind.” Fix May 1 for Meeting. The governing committee also fixed ‘Monday, May 1, as the date of the next regular monthly meeting of the Bociety. Senator Atlee Pomerene of Ohlo, a vice president of the organ- fzation, will preside. Several hundred ir embers of the so- ciety who subscribed for tickets for the reception to the President will have their contributions refunded upon presentation of their tickets to James F. Hood, treasurer, at the American Security and Trust Com- pany. STAB WOUNDS FATAL. Jefterson Woolridge, Colored, Dies. Albert Enix Arrested.

PRESIDENg FOR UPH LAUDS CHURCH bution Toward Gu In a time like the present, when there is an apparent tendency to a lighter and more frivolous view of the citizen's relations to both the church and the state, there is no higher service that the church may render than to put forth its utmost influence in behalf of frank and will- ing obedience to the law of the land, President Harding declared last night in an address to the Vaughn Bible class of the Calvary Baptist Church. “Therein,” he continued, “I think will be found the largest con- tributlon toward guaranty of the na: tion's safety, the most promising as surance of uitimate realization of the highest aspirations of the church in behalf of all humanity. Discredits “Loose Talk.” Discrediting to a certain extent the “loose talk nowadays” that the cause of the “spiritual demoralization of the community” is an outgrowth of the war, the President said, “Before the war started or was dreamed of, we were already realizing the tend- ency toward a certain moral laxity, a shifting of standards, a weakening of the sterner fibers. President Harding said there was an important relationship between church and nation, “because no nation can prosper, no nation can survive if it ever forgets Almighty God.” The matchless Amferican achievement has been aided to a great extent by re- ligious reverence, “and 1 wish it ever to abide,” he stated, and added, “if I were to utter a prayer for the re- public tonight, it would be to re- consecrate usin religious devotion and make us abidingly a God-fearing, God-loving people. Makes for Simple Life. “I do not fail to recall fhat the religious life makes for the simple life,” the President asserted, “and it would be like a divine benediction to restore the simpler life in this re- ublic.” The text of the address follows: “It is a very great pleasure to be associated with you tonight, to utter greetings and commend the great work your class is doing. Frankly, my relationship is one of asso- piation rather than participation, be- cause I do not feel myself equal to a discussion of the very great topic which has been hinted as my assign- ment. “Apart from contact with this un- usual organization, 1 have thought 1 would like to commend such activi- ties, because your class reveals a pur- suit_of religious activity of inestl- mable value and interest, and chal- lenges the too prevalent’ fmpression that the pursuit of the Christian re- ligion is always solemn, and lacking in the charm which is so desirable in our social life. It is a very simple discovery, but there are far too few discoverers, that the Bible is the most fascinating study in all our litera- ture, and the lossons taught are the most helpful which may be brought into our daily lives. Religious Liberty Has Place. “There is no relationship here be- tween church and state. Religious liberty has its unalterable place, along with clvil and human liberty, in the very foundation of the repub- lic. Therein is shown the far-seeing vision of the immortal founders, and we are a_ better people and a better republic because there is that free- dom. “I fear it is forgotten sometimes. In the experiences of a vear in the presidency there has come to me no other such unwelcome impression.as the manifest religious intolerance | which exists among many of our citizens. I hold it to be a menace to the very liberties we boast and cherish. “In spite of our complete divorce- ment of church and state, quite in| harmony with our religious freedom, there is an important relationship be- | tween church and nation, because no | nation can prosper, no nation can sur- ' vive, if it ever forgets Almighty God | 1 have believed that religious rever- ence has played a very influential and helpful part in the matchless Ameri- can achievement, and I wish it ever to abide. If I were to utter a prayer for the republic tonight it would be to reconsecrate us in religious devo- tion and make us abidingly a God- fearing, God-loving people. “I do not fail to recall that the re- U. S MAY YET JOIN REPARKTIONS BODY President Considers Asking Authorization to Name . Member. Congress may be asked by Presi- derit Harding to authorize appoint- ment of an American as member of the reparations commission. ,The President, it was learned at the ‘White House today, s giving serlous consideration to such a proposition. The separate treaty between the United States and Germany, it was pointed out, provided that America should have the right to a member- ship in the reparations commisgion upon election of this government. It was specifically stated, however, fn the ' resolution confirming the treaty that the United States should have no representative on the repar- ations commission, or any . similar body, without express authorization from Congress. At the White House it was. said the President ‘had two methods of seeking appointment of an American on the commission. One would be to make a request of Congress that the United States have a delegate on the commission, and the other would be | to nominate an American member on the commission and ask Congress to approve that nomination. . Recent developments in Europe, and more particularly the situation re- garding payment to the Unitdd States. of $241,000,000 for cost of the Amenl can army of occupation in Germany, have led administration leaders to be- lieve the interests of this country would be served in a more acceptable way by having an official representa- tive on the allied commission dealing with German affairs. President Harding several days 880 indicated he would not seek authori- zation from Congress for the appoint- ment of an American on the repara- tions commission, but it was indi- cated today that leaders In the Sen- ate would not oppose such request|™ from the President, and it was inti- mated at the White House some way to end the indirect method of deal- ing with the allied governments would be sought in the near future. e MARYLAND DAY OBSERVED _— BALTIMORE, Md., March 25— Maryland day, the 288th anniversary of the arrival of the Ark and Dove He Tells Bible Class. LDING THE LAW .Therein Will Be: Found the Largest Contri- aranteeing Safety, ligious life makes for the simple life, and it would be like a divine bene- diction to restore the simpler life in this republic. « “There s a good deal of lpose talk nowadays about the cause of the spir- itual demoralization of the commu- nity, which it has become popular to attribute to the abnormal conditfons that were incident to the war. But, in fact, the war is not wholly to blame. Before the war started or was dreamed of we were already realizing the tendency toward a certain moral laxity, a shifting of standards, a weakening of the sterner fibers. 1 think we should do well to recognize that these tendencies are not a mere momentary incident, but a serious phase in the Intellectual and moral evolution of the community. Itwould be a grievous errar to allow ourselves to feel too confident that this is only a temporary and passing aspect. 'Take, for example, the matter of regard for the law. Without giving too much weight to alarmist exores: sions, we must nevertheless recok: nize that there is a very apparc tendency to a lighter and more friv olous view of the citizen’s relation to both the state and the church. We can hardly hope for a restoration of the old ideals in religion and in moral conduct, 80 lcng as this tendency to disregard for the law shall continue. It is absolutely essential to the main- tenance of a secure society and to the attainment of a proper moral plane that the law should be recoginzed aus sacred and supreme. It should have breed a lack of respect for the law in general. This tendency i8 obvious, and ought to give the deepest con cern to people who have seen, in this world, the fearful results that may flow from the breakdown of respect for the social fundamentals. Masses Follow Example. “Whatever breeds disrespect for the law of the land, in any particular de- partment of our community relations, is a force tending to the general breakdown of the social organization. 1f people who are known as leaders, as directing influences, as thoroughly respected and respectable members of soclety, shall in their respective com- munities become known for their de- flance of some part of the code of law, then they need not be astonished if presently they find that their ex- ample is followed by others, with the result that presently the law in gen- eral comes to be looked upon as & set of irksome and unreasonable re- straints upon the liberty of the in- dividual. Every law involves more or less of this element of restraint. Near- ly every Individual will find some part of the code that to him seems an unreasonable inhibition upon his per- sonal freedom of action. Our only safety will be in inculcating an atti- tude of respect for the law as the whole, the best expression that has been given to the soclal aspiration and moral purpose of the community. TUnless we can accomplish this, in the domain of citizenship, and there- by sustain enforcement, we may well feel that the outlook is not encour- aging for the achievement of those loftier spiritual purposes to which the church is devoted. Therefore 1 can think of no higher service that the church, in a time like this, may render, than to put forth its utmost influence in behalf of frank and will- ing obedience to the law of the land. Therein I think will be found the largest contribution toward guaranty of the nation's safety, the most promising assurance of ultimate realization of the highest aspirations 'tl.yf the church in behalf of all human- t ‘Nations have left their lessons in the pages of history. This republic is yet youthful enough to learn from the study of these lessons. The fail- ures of the past invariably have been preceded by contempt for the law, by spiritual paralysis and moral loose- ness, all of which had their earlier reflex in the weakened influence of the church. We know the helpful, exalting influence of our religious institutions. No one dares to dis- pute. We shall be made stronger as they become stronger, and we shall ever find greater pride and greater security in the nation which righteousness exalteth.” ELECTED TO REPRESENT WASHINGTON ZIONISTS Jacob Heckman and Max Rhoade Will Attend Conference at Philadelphia. The election of Jacob Heckman and Max Rhoade as delegates to repre- sent the Washington Zionist district at the extraordinary national Zionist conference, which will convene in Philadelphia tomorrow, was an- nounced last night by the executive committee of°the local organization.
