NEW: BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, MARCH 22, SHOULD WE HAVE A MORE LIBERAL SUNDAY? This Question Frankly Discussed at THE METHODIST CHURCH ‘March 25-SUNDAY EVERING-7-30 Questions May Be ‘Asked From the.Floor ! fimm Not ci)nvimed of Sincer- ' “ity of Carranza's Friendship ;New York, March 22.—Dr. Toyo- lchi Iyenaga, speaking at a luncheon the Aldine club yesterday, predict- jed’ trouble between the United States 4 Mexico as a result of German in- ue there, should war be declared ‘Wween Germany and this country. he possibility that Japan might be- a party to an “unhély alliance” Germany and Mexico, Dr. & -ridiculed as “the complete ruptcy of German diplomacy.” “It would be\a matter of profound rest,” said Dr. Iyenaga, #¥#8r wo nese to see whether or not the Uuited States, if she determinés to trality into actual war, would send her troops to fight on the Europeain battlefiel How solicitous is Japan for the triumph of the Allies is strik- ingly proved by two facts which hava lately merited the close attention of the American, people. One is, "the strong backing Japan gave to the determination of the Allies to refuse the peace proposals offered by the Central Powers. The other ), Japan's attitude toward the most extraordin- ‘jary note of Dr. Zimmermann, German Foreign Minister, aiming at the for- mation of a Garmun-.hpm-llexlcm alliance. * “Let us consider first the second point. Nothing demonstrates more clearly the complete’ bapkruptcy of German diplomacy than this ridicu- lous scheme. So far as your neigh- bor across the Rio Grande is con- wcerned, I am not sure whether Ger- many has not some substantial ground to build her hope for the co-operation of Mexico in the event of war with the United States. In view of the thoroughness of Germany’s prepara- tion, and of the time she must have counted upon that would intervene before the beginning of.real hostil- ities, it might not be altogether un- Teasonable to suppose that there may be in store some surprise coming from the.direction of your close EXTRA SPECIAL FOR FRIDAY 100 dozen Turkish Towels in bleached., §| . over e Speualat.... o el . - 2,000 yards of fine Percale, all good pat- ferns.

Japanese Aid Absurd. “But that Germany could have imagined that Japan might be induced by Mexico to join the unholy alliance, turn traiton to. her allies, and try to stab in the back her most friendly neighbor, taxes to the limit my gbllity for ransacking out of my scanty knowledge of English vocabulary ‘words strong enough for the denuncia- tion of its monstrosity and absurdity. I am, however, thankful for the folly German diplomacy has committed for it has contributed more than anything else to counteract the evil done by yel- low journals toward allenating the two friendly nations on the opposite shores of the Pacific, and to put their relationship in the true and , correct light. > “It is well for the American people to know once and for all that the ex- pression of friendship they aften hear from Japan is neither officially guided nor specially manufactured. It is the true, honest, sincere voice of the Ja- panese people. And may I be permit- ted to add here that it benefits the great American people to recognize that fact and return the cordial feel- ln‘ by such an act that would go to forever the root of the trvnble that les between the two na- tions, because of the unfair, unjust, un-American treatment of a small number of Japanese subjects residing in this country. “It is foolish to prophesy the future alignment of powers. Time must soon- er or later come when peace will be restored and we shall be once more genuine friends of the German peo- ple. We Japanese have never ceased to show our admiration for the great qualities of the German people and for the valuable contributions they have made to science, philosophy, and liter- ature. What seems astounding to me is the obsession of the German bu- reaucratio mind that has lost its bal- ance to such an extent as to think that 'Japan can be bought for a price at the moment. when every consiceration of honor. and loyalty imposes upon her the solemn duty of giving every as- sistance, she can to her gallant allies in these times of stress.” RHEUMATICS 9.

ON SUPREME COURT Opinion on Right to Strike Li- kened to Russian Despotism ‘Washington, March 22.—President Gompers and Morrison of the American Federation of Labor presented to Attorney General Gre gory yesterday a protest agpinst the declaration of the supreme court in the Adamson law decision that the right ‘of railroad employes to strike is limited by the public interest, The labor leaders declared that tho court had gone out of its way to in- Ject this “reactionary” assertion into its opinion. Later the following state- ment was given out with the approval of Mr. Gompers at Federation head- | quarters: “The -president and secretary of the American Federation of Labor, Samuel Gompers and Frank Mor« rison, today presented to. Attorney General Gregory in his office, a pro- test in the name of the workers of this country against the opinion ren- dered by the United States supreme court in going out of its way upon matters not before the court and dragging in confpulsory arbitration, “The supreme court, by interpo- lating into the law and argument. be- fore it for consideration, a foreign matter, namely, denial to woarkers of ‘| the right to quit work in furtherance of their just and necessary rights, pointed out the way to those who wish to tle workers to their work in order ta protect the supposed <onvenience of the public. “Mr. Gompers called attention to the splendid -progressive fundamental declarations in both Mexico and Russia, countries which are passing through a period of danger and na- tional stress, assuring to the warkers of those ceuntries‘ the right to strike.’ “The opinion of the United States supreme court in connection with the Adamson law decision belangs to the old reactionary despotism of Russia and Mexicé, and is out of harmony with the free ‘institutions of this re- public.” BOMBARDMENT OF MONASTIR. Bulgars Take Revenge For Being Forced Along By Allies. Corfu, Greece, March 22, .via Lon- don.—A semi-officlal Serbian state- ment from Saloniki today declares.that the Bulgarians, in order to avenge themselves because they ‘were being forced by the pressure of the Allied army to retire gradually from Monas- tir, renewed on March 18 and 19 their bombardment of the open town of Monastir. Six hundred additional shells, many of which contained asphyxiating gases, were dropped upon the city. The vic- tims, it is stated, were again only old men, women and children.

SUNDAY SCHOOL Recommendauons of New Relig- jous Dlrector Well Received Recommendations by Rev. V. O. ‘Ward, adopted at the meeting, follow: 1. That we elect an educational committee, composed of three or five, which shall attend to the duties of | the quarterly conference committee on Sunday schools, the quarterly con- ference committee on education, and act as an executive committee for the church school. This committee to be responsible for the program policy and curriculum of the school, and to make plans to corrolate all the edu- cational activities of the church. The pastor and the director of religious education to be members ex-officio of this committee. Its relation to the school shall be the same as that of the board of education to the publié |- schools. 2. That we organize a department of records, directed by a general sec- retary, who shall be assisted by a financial secretary, an enrollment sec- retary, an assignment secretary, an absence secretary, & birthday secre- tary, a custodian of supplies and any other assistants or helpers that the needs of the school might demand that he appoint from time to time. The purpose of this department is to make for efficiency in follow up work and to establish regularity of attend- ance, through a unified systém of rec- ords. The secretary and educational director to work out such a system. The passage of this recommendation to carry with it an order to have the necessary enrollment cards, ete., printed. 8. That the educational committee be empowered to draft a new consti- tution simply outline the plan and policy of the school and that the de- talls of the program be left to the committee for execution. This plan allows the necessary room for ex- pansion. & 4. That in the future every effort be made to keep the school strictly graded up through the first senior vear. This will bring our young peo- ple approximately through the seven- teenth year. It would be well if at this_time we could prevail upon the best fitted of them to take a course in training in a normal department to fit themselves for teaching in' the achool later. This pariod should cov- #r. three years. This plan does not ‘contemplate changing any of the pres- ent class arrangements, except upon mutual agreement of all concerned. 5. That steps be taken to provide for "} special instruction ' in. missions and temperance. Also to provide for a growing demand for expressional work of. two kinds: one is for individ- -ual actlvity like hand work, etc., and the other is social activity and train- ing in service, The first impresses truth on the mind and the second teaches the pupils to act his convic- tions in the presence of his fellows, We should take steps in the future to secure supervisors for this type of work. 6. That steps be taken to form a Parents’ and Teachers’ association. The purpose of such an organization is to enlist the interest of the home in what we are trying to do for their children. It would enable us, to un-~ derstand esch other better, and to co-operate in solving our common problems. 7. That we re-arrange our depart- mental grouping somewhat. It would help us to correllate the young peo- ple’s work if we could have the Inter- mediate and Senior departments meet together and the Juniors meet separ- ately.. It would add to the effective- ness of our service of worship and furthermore it would help to correl- late the work of the teen age group with the young people’s work. In the light of the mnew recommenda- tions of the Sunday school council re- garding grouping of Adolescents, it would be well that these plans be pro- visional rather than absolute. 8. That we inaugurate a plan to train our teachers. It is suggested that at the beginning of next fall we ar- range to have all those who are teaching and holding office: (a) take a special training course on a week night: (b) that we all support, the lo- cal training school: (c) that.we ar- range to have a class, meeting at the school hour to train those who expect to teach: (d) as soon as possible we should arrange for regular depart- mental conferences, for all the teach- ers. 9.
