to be prepared for it. Mrs. Charles

LUTHERANS CALL
ATTACK OF STATE
COUNCIL UNFAIR
(Continued from Pace One.)
German sentiment, but I believe the
sweeping statement condemning the
entice Lutheran church was grossly
uniust.
"When the president declared war
the presidents of the general council
the general synod and the united
synod of the south, the three largest
Lutheran organizations in the coun
try, endorsed his action. At Augus
tana college, in Rock Island, the
school band enlisted as a unit and
was assigned to the First Illinois reg
iment.
"The people of my own church in
any citizens in this country. We have
, Ked rross orean zat on tinder th
chairmanship of Mrs. N. P. Swanson,
and several of our boys have enlisted.
Ministers' Sons Enlist.
"Sons of two ot our most prominent
Omaha ministers have enlisted. They
are Victor Lindberg, son of Rev. P,
M. Lindberg, superintendent of the
Emmanuel hospital, and Carl Olander,
son of Rev. J. T. Olander. assistant
superintendent o the hospital.
i dui suipuscu mill Mien a rcpre
sentative body of men should make
such an assertion 1 do not doubt
they ar convinced they have grounds
for what they say and I presume they
have found evidences of un-American
conduct in some parls of the state,
nut they are very unjust in condemn
ing the whole of the Lutheran church,
which I am confident is as patriotic
as a whole and as truly American as
any organization in the United
States?"
"While I cannot answer for other
Lutheran churches in Nebraska, I
want to say that taking the members
as a body, there are no men or women
more loyal to the United States than
those of the Kountze Memorial church
of Omaha, said Harry Fischer.
Mr. hischer is a member of the
board of trustees of the Kountze Me
morial Lutheran church andthe fore
going statement was made after his
attention had been called to the state
ment of the Nebraska State Council
of Defense, -in which the loyalty of
the Lutheran church is Questioned.
Continuing, Mr. Fischer said:
While we have not proclaimed our
loyalty from the housetops, we have
done everything that could be asked
by the most loyal of the loyal Ameri
cans. In the Kountze Memorial
church an auxiliary Red Cross associ
ation has been organized. Both men
and women have contributed money
to the Red Cross and the women have
devoted tlieir time to sewing.
Baltzly Urged Movement.
"Our pastor, Rev. Dr. Baltzly. was
instrumental in the organization of
the auxiliary. He ureed the women
of the church to take up the matter
and do whatever they could. And
while some months ago he made
statement that caused considerabl
criticism, people who know him an
know his heart realize that his loyal
ty is ot the true American type an
cannot be questioned.
A large nuniDer ot our enure
members have bought and now arc th
owners of Liberty bonds. More of
them would have bought if they had
been financially able and those who
did buy, would have bought larger
blocks if the.' could have spared the
money.
"I see no reason why the Nebraska
State Council of Defense singled out
the Lutheran church for its attack,
The church, since the time of Martin
Luther, has stood for freedom of
speech, religious freedom and the
kind of freedom that v.c enjoy here
in America.
In some of the Lutheran churches
there may be members who are not
as loyal to the United States as they
should be, but 1 fancy you will find
the same thing true in all denomina
tions. Even if this is true, as I said
before, I cannot see why the Luther
an church should be singled out and
attacked.
Uni Teacher Objects.
Lincoln, Neb.. July 12. Prof,
Clarke E. Pehsinger, head of the de
partment of American history, Ln
versity of Nebraska, late today issued
yesterday that certain professors of
the university were guilty of disloy
alty to America in the war with Ger
many. Autocratic and aristocratic
elements, he said, were taking ad
vantage of the war to override demo
cratic elements and ideas
Chaiuellor Samuel Avery of the
Unive-Sity of Nebraska today charac
terized as "just and patriotic" the
action of the State Council of De
fense, which yesterday issued a 3,000'
word statement charging certain uni
versity professors and "the conspicu
ous leaders ot the Lutheran church
with treasonable utterances and dis-
oyal activity.
The viiancellor's statement follows
"The able and patriotic council has
rendered a distinct service to the uni
versity by publicly calling attention
to conditions that exist not only here,
but in all the state institutions. The
overwhelming majority of professors
re in.' nsely loyal to the country.
There p.re. however, in every faculty
a lew who have indulged in day
creams of internationalism, world jus
'ice a .d universal peace to such an
extent that they find it difficult to
reconcile themselves to the thought of
use of force even in the most just
cause.
The just and vigorous statement
of the Council of Defense will help
the few remaining 'pacifists' and 'in
ternationalists' in university circles to
decide whether or not they are going
to play the part ot patriots m the
presen- struggle.
Personally I believe that all will
decide in the right way and that by
the time the university opens next
fall conditions will be such that the
State Council of Defense will not
think it necessary for the regents to
take ocial cognizance of any cases
of supposed lack of patriotism."
