————— POPE IN CRUSADE . OFWORLD RELIEF Campaign Directed First to Russia and Near East, Prof. Walsh Explains. Pope Pilus XI “is again mobilizing ' crusade of mercy and charity to all men,” according to a statement issued todey by Prof. Edmund A. Walsh, vice president of Georgetown Univer- sity, who was director general of the Papal Relief Misslon drring the Rus- sian famine and who is now president of the new Catholic Near East Wel fare Association. Prof. Walsh was des- ignated head of the association by Pope Pius. Prof. Walsh, in interpreting the aims and objectives of the holy sec in regard tc this crusade for mercy and charity, sald that Pope Plus XI had given the order that during his ntificate the influence of the Catho- ic Church shall be directed toward world peace. As a beginning in this direction Prof. Walsh says that Pope Plus XI invited the attentién of the United States to Russia and the Near East. Near East Affticted. . _“No part of the human race has suffered more than the population of these regions,” Prof. Walsh's state- ment explains. *“‘Constant warfare, po- litical intrigue, inhuman diplomacy, famine, epidemic and massacres insti- gated by racial hatred and religious fanaticlsm have reduced these lands to a wilderness. ““The first emergency, that of imme- diate relief, has now been met. But to insure hu ty against a renewal of conditions which nearly wrecked the peace and health of the world, the ax must be laid to the roots. The . holy father therefore proposes a con- crete program of soclal service which ahall comprise the erection of elemen- tary schools and orphanages, increased higher education, instruction of sani. tation and hygiene, the fortifying of religious principles, the maintenance of agricultural communities and the erection of industrial schools.” Wants Russian Students Here. Among other projects Prof. Walsh points out that Pope Pius XI “will in vite the directors of college: - mies and universities in the United States to recelve a group of Rusllani students in_order to enable these de- scendants of an ancient Christian race to acquire the knowledge and techni- cal training necessary to restore t | great land to its rightful place among | the nations of the world. | ‘The hierarchy of the United States wve agreed to present the program the holy father to the Catholic population of the United States on January 28, 1927, Both the holy father and hierarchy have designated the Catholic Near East Welfare Associa- tion as the sole instrumentality au- thorized to represent Catholic inter- ests in Russia and the Near East. This organization has been legally in- corporated and placed under the con- trol of the American bishops, replacing and consolidfting all other organiz- ations previously working for that end. Willlam Cardinal O’Connell, Archbishop of Boston, is chairman of the board of directors and Cardina' Hayes of New York i8 chairman of the executive committee.

TODAY’S TEXT ‘And he that killeth any man shall surely be put to death.”—Leviticus, zxiv.17 BY HUBERT C. HERRING. Noted liberal writer. lecturer. preacher. oston. There is a variety of methods for killing and a great variety of killers. The obvious variety is the man with a gun or a knife. Not so obvious is the man who sells milk from tuber cular cows or who stuffs life pre- servers with saw- dust, A life for a life! | That is the creed of ancient Israel. They believed in blood vengeance. The debate to day is centered in the question of capital punish- ment, Shall the state put men to death? £ It l: argued t‘l’;?‘t N capital pun DR. HERRING. 17t acts as a de terrent to crime, and that men will think twice before Incurring the death penalty. It is argued that criminals feel reasonably safe if a long-term sentence s the penalty, and that they will take a more desperate chance. This line of argument is denied by many of the most thoughtful pen Not many murders are com- mitted in cold blood after cool con- Wderation. Most crimes are done in wift passion, under the influence of wents - which sweep all judgment side. The taking of life is a serious thing. vhether it be by the individual or the state. Evidence is of tricky stuff 1nd mistakes easily occur. It is better hat 10 guilty escape than that one innocent man face the electric chair. And can the scales of justice be ad- usted with such nicety as to deter- mine upon justice. Justice ig elusive, and is conditioned upon so great a inowledge seasoned with so great a mercy. If the state determines that it shall rake a life for a life, its judges are put into a well nigh intolerable place. No man should be given the power to decide whether another shall live or die. Even' though the accused be clearly zuilty, and there be no shadow of loubt, thers still remains the great area of twilight, in which the ques- ions of sanity and motive and provo- cation loom large. Though the evidence pile up irfever so convincing fashion, there will al- ways be a voice to ask, But what of the environment in which this mur- derer came to his murderous instincts? Who is responsible, this man aone? If we could have judges with the power and wisdom of God the death penalty might be justified. But until we can have such judges on the bench it is better that we give up the death pemalty and seek, to furnish the se. curity which socigty deserves by put- ing the guilty man where he cannot do greater harm, holding him until wise scientists can determine whether it is safe to allow him freedom. The only justification for a jail is the safety of soclety, and never re- taliation, The law of a life for a life belongs to an age which is gone. MINISTER FROM CHINA | TO SPEAK TOMORROW Rev. E. Pearce Hayes to Detail Present Movements in Orient at Hamline Church. Rev. E. Pearce Hayes of Foochow, China, will speak at the Hamline Methodist Episcopal Church, Six- teenth at Allison streets, tomorrow evening at 8 o'clock on “The Present Situation in China.” He will tell of the fighting there, and what it is meaning to the Christian church.

New York, prosident Fungamentales Leacve. The meaning of creation is not un- derstood until dust stands erect in a dving man. Life is the crown of the material universe, because it contains all the spiritual potentialities and powers. The world is more than a mere ag- gregate of mate- rial atom: and human life, as the climax of ‘all sen- tlent beings, con- tains manifestly the supreme val- ues. ‘Therefore the taking of life the greatest tragedy, death penalty for taking llno :é“ c%imn'fi'd n order that life DR. STRATON, might be safe- uarded. If murder had been lightly regarded, individual vengeance would have become so widespread that the human race would have been deci- mated. Therefore the laws of God and man have ever been stern and itrong in regard to the destruction of human life. And this is rightly so Though the mercy of God from the beginning found expression in citie of refuge, to which the man-slaye: could flee from the avenger, and alsu n making provision for fair and jus al of those who took life, here is on place where mercy is on the side of itern retribution, because to lightly regard killing is to allow murderers to escape unwhipped of justice, and as before observed, would cause more loss of life than the legal takinz o he life of the murderer who is proved small number of murders in England and the large proportion of executions, for example, in compari- son with the enormous and ever-in- creasing number of murders in Amer fca and the paltry proportion of exe- cutions here {s proof of all of these things. ‘There is much mushy, maudlin sen timentality today in connection with Hysterical women are permitted to send floral offerings to, and in other ways lion- ize and make heroes of, desperate criminals, and, in this silly sympathy for the one individual wrongdoer, thy for the victim's family and friends who have suffered is often en- tirely overlooked. All of these things are subversive of both the rule of righteousness and the reign of order and decency in human soclety, and what is needed today supremely, especially in Amer- ica, is a vindication of the eternal righteousness and justice of God, and an understanding that God's justice is, in last analysis, the mightiest ex pression of perfect, eternal and gra- clous love.

Biologists Here Use Soft-Skell Turtles For Conducting Experiment in Evolution ‘Washington biologists are looking ahead to the possibility during the next few years of a development in animal evelution every step of which can be watched and checked. Among the curiosities brought back by the Smithsonian-Chrysler expe- dition and now at the Zoo was a box of leather-backed turtles collected in Tanganylka. So far as is known, these are the only land turtles in ex- istence without hard shells. These creatures look like glant bedbu; with a covering of an extremely tough leathery substance. Will the shells get hard and the backs become rounded with successive genemtions? he turtles, it is explained, have de- veMped these soft shells and flat backs as an asset in survival to enable them to crawl into narrow crevaces in the rocks for protection and to find food. They live in an exceptionally rocky and barren country. They are shaped like bedbugs for the same rason as these nuisances—it is an ideal shape | for getting into crevices. But originally, the biologists believe, they had hard shells like other turtles. They ate more or less food contalning lime, which is the substance which makes bones and shells. Some of them, Swedish service will be held at 3:30 &mi. by Dr. G. Carlson of Arlington, perhaps the weaker of the race, were unable to get this food. The shells did not develop well. But these weaker turtles found they had really gained from their inferiority, because they could squeeze into places impossible for their stronger, more voracious mates. Eventually the hard-shelled animals perished as the country be came more rocky and barren. Through successive generations the soft shell became an hereditary characteristic. But at the Zoo .there will be no necessity of crawling into small cracks to get food and protect themselves. They will be fed material with con- siderable lfme in it. Conditions will not be greatly different for these turtles than was the case thousands, perhape hundreds of thousands, of years ago. They are expected to lay eggs this Winter. These will be' hatched, if | possible, and the young watched care- fully. The change may begin in two or three generations, the biologists claim, and if so, there will be a markable example of evolution in the working. 'On the other hand, there may not be the slightest trace of a return to the hard shell for two or three hundred generation: One of these turtles, which died since coming to Washington, was ex- hibited yesterday at the annual meet- of ‘the regents of the Smithsonian nstitution, i peak on the mission, ;.7 0., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1926 BISHOP DENNY TO PREACH Epworth M.

Nearly $15,000 remains to be col- lected from the 86 parishes and con- gregations in the Washington diocese of the Episcopal Church toward the church financing, according to an- nouncement of the National Council of the Church. This sum is a part of a shortage of more than $900,000 which must be »ald throughout the United States by January 1, it was stated. Officials of he church charged with® matters of finance are concerned over this shortage, it was stated. In the local churches, however, in mly a few cases is the deficit large, was announced.

Ingerslev, vrincipal accuser of Dr. Anton Bast, who recently served three months’ imprisonment for misuse of charity funds. has been exeommunicated from the Methodist Church of Copenhagen. This action was taken against him for his “unbrotherly deed” in filing a counter claim for 137,000 kroner (about $35,000) for expenses in moving from the United States to Denmark and for his dismissal from the ministry, which, he maintained, was due to his opposition to Bishop Bast's adminis- tration.
