Shepard, the well-known chaplain and Dr. Herbert Gray, a Presbyterian minister, in a letter to the Press says: "We no longer believe that the old wisdom of the world is equal to the task of making peace, but our religion compels us to view war as wrong, so we have come to the conclusion that the only effective thing to do, if men and women believe it their duty to stop war, is that they should place themselves, unarmed, between the combatants. We have written to the League of Nations offering ourselves for service in the peace army, and we know that many others in other countries are also will- ■ „ »> jng.
