This federation is composed of all the Baptist churches in the Indianapolis area, with the Rev. F. A. Hayward as executive secretary. George F. Woody is president of the federation. “The organization of the Temple Church took place a little more than a year ago as the result of several important features in Baptist life. The first was the call and an urgent one on the part of the Baptist people living In the area of Riverside Park for a church. “The first service held was a daily vacation Bihle school and although planned for ill a little store, yet inability to engage the store, owing to difference of opinion on the part of the owners, it was held and carried on with success on the front porch of Mr. and Mrs. John L. Mertz on Herptrell Ave. A building formerly used for a plumbling store was then obtained and remodeled and rearranged for services and the new church was organized In this building. Northwestern Baptist Church Aided in Work. The Northwestern Baptist Church was then asked to unite in the newwork and others unchurched asked to place their membership in the new work and the church began its life.

Joseph Belcher, formerly of the Southern Avenue Baptist Church, was called anl the program opened happily. The ladies’ Guild has done a splendid piece of work.

as well as the horrors of war and can tell those who do not. What then accounts for their readiness, at the slightest provocation, to rush into all the same wretchedness over again? The infinite capacity of mankind for deluding itself. The last time, it is true, it was a ghastly affair. This time it will be an easy victory. Then you had to fight a perfectly-armed Germany or Austria—now it is a very small affair indeed. In one case a disarmed Germany -which cannot fight or, in the other cases, a miserable little country like Greece, with no army or navy to talk of. So hurrah for the guns’ A bloodless victory, except, of course, to the vanquished. More pictures for *the walls, to show our children what terrible people we are when provoked! May End Peacnbly This episode may end peacably, hut it was a risk to take and quite an unnecessary risk under the circumstances of the case. Italy was indignant and naturally indignant, at the murder of her emissaries in cold blood on Greek territory, and although it took place in a well-known murder area—on the Albanian border, where comitadjis and other forms of banditti reign—still Greec was responsible for giving adequate protection to all the boundary commissioners who were operating within her frontiers. Italy is therefore entitled to demand Stern Reparations for his outrage. This Greece promptly concedes. Not merely has Greece shown her readi ness to pay full indemnity, but she has offered to salute the Italian Hag by way of making amends for the of sense Involved to the Italian nation in this failure to protect Italian officers transacting legitimate business on Greek soil. Mussolini's answer to the Greek acknowledgement of liability Is to bombard a defenseless town, kill a few unarmed citizens and enter Into occupation of Greek Islands.

without further parley he would have bombarded Ajaccio? Or, had it been Britain, would he have shelled Cowes and occupied the Isle of Wight? But Greece, has no army. That, I suppose, alters the merits of the case. Force is still the supreme arbiter of right and wrong in international affairs in Europe. It is worth noting how the new code of international law is coming into existence since the war. French armies invade neighbors’ territory, occupy it, establish martial law, seize ahd run the railways, regulate its. press, deports tens of thousands of* its inhabitants, imprison or shoot down all who resist, and then proclaim this is not an act of war. It is only a peaceful occupation to enforce rights under a peace treaty. Signor Mussolini shells towns belonging to a country with whom he is at peace and forcibly occupies part of its territory, and then solemnly declares it is not an act of war, but just a reasonable measure of diplomatic precaution. Once force decides the issue it also settles rules. Colonies Fought There was a time when the English and Spaniards fought each other in the West Indies whilst their governments at home were ostensibly at peace. And French and English fought in India without any diplomats rupture between Versailles and St. James’s. But in those days these lands were very remote and the control over the center of events at these distances was intermittent and occasionally feeble. And sometimes It suited governments to ignore what ! v.‘as taking place on the fringe of the empire. But even in those days, an . atttack on homeland meant war, and ! if. would mean war today were the i attacked countries not powerless. What about the League of Nations? I This is pre-eminently a case for ac- j tion under the covenant. Italy and Grece are both parties. How can they, consistently with the terms of the treaty they so recently signed, refuse to leave this dispute to be dealt with by the league? Italy had a special part In drafting the treaty and In imposing it upon Germany and Austria. She cannot now in decency repudiate its clauses. It is suggested in some quarters that the dignity of Italy being involved In the dispute, t she cannot possibly consent to leave it in the hands of the league. That surely is a fatal limitation of the League of Nations. Would Be Precedent Every dispute Involving right implicates national honor and, as every nation is judge of its own hqnor, ultimately all differences would be ruled out of the covenant which it did not suit one country or the other to refer. The league Is not allowed to touch reparations. If this quarrel also Is excluded from the consideration of the League. It is no exaggeration to say that this valuable' part of the treaty of Versailles becomes a dead letter paragraph. It is one of the gross ironies of the European situation thiit the treaty of Versailles is being gradually , torn to pieces hy countries which are not only its authors but have most to I gain by its provisions France has

already repudiated the first and most important part of the treaty by declaring it will refer no question arising between herself and her neighbors under the treaty itself to the League of Nations. If Italy also declines to respect the first part of that treaty, then nothing Is left of It except what It suits the nations to enforce or obey. And if the framers do not owe allegiance to the treaty they drafted, why should those who only accented It under duress, bow to its behests? It would have been a more honorable course for the nations to pursue if they had followed the example of America by refusing to ratify the whole treaty. Rumors of Complications There are ugly rumors of possible complications arising out of this unfortunate incident. It does not need a vivid imagination to foretell one or two possible results of a disastrous character. In this country they would be deplored, not only for their effect on European peace, but for the damage they must inevitably inflict on the best interests of Italy. She has had enough of victory- What she needs now—what we all need—is peaces. There is no country which has a more genuine good will for Italy's prosperity and greatness than Great Britain. It is an old and tried friendship. The two nations have many common interests, they have no rivalries. Hence the deep anxiety of Britain that Italy should not commit a mistake which will mortgage her future, even if it does not Imperil her present. There are, no doubt, strategic advantages for Italy in holding Corfu. It enables them to “bottle up” the Adriatic. But it is Greek and it menaces Slavonia, and this introduction of foreign elements into the body of a State for strategic reasons always provokes inflammatory symptoms injurious to the general health of the community. They tend to become malignant and, sooner or later, they bring disaster. Bosnia ultimately proved to be the death of the Austrian empire. When the Bosnian cancer became active, the evil of Italia Irredenta broke out once more

and, between them, they laid the empire of the Hapsburgs in the dust. Italy has played a great part in the work of civilization and on has Greece. They have still greater tasks awaiting them—one on a great and the other necessarily on a smaller scale. It would be a misfortune to humanity if they spent their finp enthusiasm on hating and thwarting each other. ‘MISS COLUMBUS’ ISAGAINCHOSEN Ohio Girl Wins Beauty Contest Second Time, By United Press ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Sept. B. “Miss Columbus” (Ohio), Miss Mary Catherine Campbell, 17, again reigns as “Miss America,” the prettiest girl in the land. She was chosen at Atlantic City’s annual beauty carnival last night. It is the second consecutive year the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Herman Campbell has won the honor. It was Miss Campbell’s almost perfect figure in a bathing suit, the final test, whfch resulted in her choice. Miss Charlotte Nash (St. Louis) had been judged the most attractive in the afternoon rolling chair contest, and “Miss Memphis” (Miss Elizabeth Mallory) appeared to best advantage In evening Clothes. But in the simple adornment of a bathing costume. Miss Campbell, 5 feet 6 inches tall, golden brown hair with an auburn tint, was chosen the most beautiful of all the seventy-four girls sent from all parts of the land to represent their home cities in the contest. “Miss Columbus" won the contest last year over “Miss Indianapolis,” Miss Thelma Blossom.
