Legionaires and Veterans Attend Memorial Service At First Methodist Churcli . I)K. JOHN HANDLEY DELIVERS IMPRESSIVE DISCOURSE Ob -A UNION" OF NATIONS."— WARNS OF THE PERILS ARISING' FROM GROWTH OF SOVETISM IN AMERICA

In memory of their hnnored "'Vicad. the members of the Morgan liaiirk Post of the Amrrirnn Lcgi..u. ami the laities of the Auxiliary. together with members of the L. Russell Henry Post, Veterans of Foreign Wars, attemleil .11vine service 011 Sunilay evening at the First Methodist Church. Dr. John Hanilley, Chaplain of the Post, ami preacher of the; evening, delivered an impressive discourse upon the topie, "An : Union of Nations." I>r, llaniiiey prefaced his mes>age, by recalling some of the experiences lie met with, as Chaplain of the forces, both in camp: ami over seas. He hail assisteil in the obsequies of many, he xaiil, while at camp, on board the ship: going across, in Brittany, ami in France. The ex-service man couhl •el'loin lie i rill are. I to talk of what ),e had suffered and sacrificed.; .Sutficient for him the conscious- 1 ness that he hail olieyed tlie enll of his country and had endeavored to do his duty. In presenting his argument for mi Union of Nations. Dr. Handley ai.l that the United States of Am- • erica, furnished a striking example of the manner this could he accomplished. - "If an United States of America. , why not an United States of the t World," he asked. It is said upon the liest author- ( itv. that the population of the East Slile of New York is composed of . fifty nationalities. All are livihg in perfect peace, under the paternal rule of Uncle Sam. ' Canada and America are two distinct nations, each with their own sepcrate form of government, ' customs and habits of life, living i! ino by side on the same continent.: No friction occurs between them,; and the frontiers are not guarded s by hugh forts and battalions of!' soldiers.

"It is remarkable to observe," v said Dr. Handley. the close study -' tin nations of Europe have devei-j'1 ed within the last twenty-five years j to the Constitution of the United!" States. Yet the constitution did '• not grow up in a night. It took >* ars and years of agitation ami o conflict, to perfect, what is now re- a gar. led as the most masterly pro- a durtion of human genius, for the|a lule and government of a people. ' It is not sulficicnt to say, that it we fought to make the world safe s fir democracy. Dr. Handley . con- u tinted. . "The statement is too a vague anil qmbiguous (to be of prncjn tlral service and inspiration. Roth- n ei let us put the thought into a ci mote concrete form, a form whirli ; immediately conjures up before, the minds of the people, a vision of what should and may lie done, an-! say we fought to create an ' Union of Nations, n Federation of, " •If World." „ Dr. Handley warned his hearers y that Kaiserism is not the onlvig for .1 „f autocracy ip iinst which j the nations of llie world need to P he guardcil. |> Sovietism was a far more insidi- g ous and dangerous autocracy, than j| Prussianism at its worst. It in-_ F vol veil the loss of all peisotlul lib-* I erty, and tlie right to possess pro- ■ pfrty. Even the li-ime liecumt the . property of the state and the most [ tarred ties of family -life were 1 trampleil ruthlessly under font. 1 1 "Nor is it sufficient to say," said' 1 Dr. Handley, "that we fought to | destroy the autocracy of German ' | warlords. We fought to destroy | was essentially a "business war, n j greatest of all peacemakers. The soldier had no part in the making of Hie last war. The world was war itself. The soldier is the | war of rival commercial factions ami interests. Money is the active generator of all hostility and strife liotwcen man and man, npd nation we fought against the barbaric] conception, that a resort to armed i .force, is .the only logical way to; settle grievances and mixjinder-j standing*." In conclusion Dr. Handley denounced in terms of unmeasured1 | s«"»rity, the treatment being met- L 'll to '"sahled and diseased L victims of the war, by the govern- h "lent. It was to the discredit of i, the government that the soldiers | tiiem selves, were compelleil to re- | ort to various methods for tho h raising of money, to provide for R their unfortunate comrades. The American Legion, said Dr. | Handley were endeavoring to raise B •i fund of $100,000, with which to | provide that the 311,000 graves in j( France wherein American boys are y lying; shall always lie looked after | and decorated.
