THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

NATIONAL GUARD TO GET $50,000 REFUND FROM U. S. Adjt. Gen. Smith Back From Conference With Militia Bureau at Capital. Adjt. Gen. Harry B. Smith, has returned from two weeks in Washington, where ho succeeded in getting tho Militia Bureau to return to Indiana National Guard tint is their full organization funds taken over by the bureau when the units were mastered out of service after the war. The units, through gifts and profits from canteens had eacl> between SSOO and 82,fifii) iu company funds when tho draft hoards ordered the strength to be doubled and the units to gp into service. The order increased the units from TOO to 250 men In some instances. In these nnd similar instances, the Militia Bureau had been holding that the funds would be returned In proportion to the full strength as compared with the original strength. A 100-man company, having a fund of SI,OOO and whose war strength was 250, would get onlyloo 260ths of the SI,OOO back. Smith pointed out that It was the original 100 men who raised the money and that the bureau’s plan was unjust. After of negotiation the bureau has agreed to return the full amounts to the organizations. Under the new plan, $50,000 will be returned to Indiana units where only $20,000 would have been returned before.

BIBLE STUDENTS SPLIT ON DEATH Head of Missions Here Fails to See Indorsement of Capita! Punishment,

Does the Bible Support capital punishment? “Not says William C. Morro, profes/sor at the College of Missions, considered one of the best local Bible authorities. '‘The Old Testament clearly recognizes and advocates such a policy as recognized ir the history of the Hebrew and Jewish people,” said Professor Morro. “Capital punishment is shown in the old Mosaic law, and Old Testament scriptures deals clearly with capital punishment.” But the New Testament regards capital punishment' in a different light, Professor Morro said. Any passages from the New Testament uoted in support of capital punishment are only reached from inference, he said. Bible Is Quoted Delegates to the Chicago Lutheran conference of the Missouri synod, largest of the Lutheran bodies, in session there declare that capital punishment Is “legal and backed by spiritual authority.” To offset the arguments of those who, opposing the death penalty, quote the jfeible in support of thenclaims, the statement quoted; Genesis 9:18 "Whoso shedeth man’s bldod, by man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God

any man shall surely be put to death." Romans 1.1:4 (St. Paul) —ITe (the ruler, the government) beareth the sword (the Instrument of capital punishment) not in vain; he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wraths upon him that doeth evil. Jesus—They that take the sword shall perish by the sword. Romans 13:4—1f thou do that which is evil, be afraid, for he (the ruler) bbareth the sword not in vain. Romans 13:3—Rulers are not a terror to good works but to the evil. Wilt' thou then not be afraid of the power?” Situation Is Baffling “A most baffling situation confronts us today," says the statement. "On the one hand, heinous and atrocious crimes are being committed in ever increasing numbers, crimes that outrage and shock every righteous citizen; on the other hand we hear of persistent agitation for the abolition of capital punishment and a plea for mercy to the criminal.” The passage from the New Testament listed by the delegates in Which Jesus Christ says: “They that take the sword perish by the sword” does not advocate capital punishment, Professor Morro said“l would not quote that remark of Jesus as saying he approved capital punishment,” said Professor Mor-
