Show ANNIVERSARY OF THE REFORMATION Amsterdam, Oct. 30. On tho occasion occa-sion of the 400th anniversary of the Reformation, the German Evangelical league launches from Wittenberg ay .H manifesto in which the militant say-ings say-ings of Martin Luther are applied at random to present events. The mani- jH festo rejects pacifism and thunders against the pope's peace proposals as being invested with no religious H authority. lH The manifesto concludes: "We especially warn against the heresy promulgated from America that Christianity enjoins democratic insti- fH tutions and that they are an essential 'H condition for the establishment of the fl kingdom of God on earth. As Luther S said: 'The freedom of a Christian does not depend on the farms of gov- B eminent which aro shaped by his- jlflL torical developments and the accumu- fXjNI lated experience of nations.'
