Wilhelm Will Be Charged With Violating Neutralities. Hold Trial in Westminster Hall England Is Excited. Bulletin. London, July 4. John Andrew Hamilton, Lord Sumner, will preside over the five judges representing the United States, Great Britain. France, Italy and Japan at the trial of the former German emperor according to the Evening News. Sir Gordon Hewart, solicitor general of Great Britain, "will ead for the prosecution. William Hohenzollern, lt is said, will bo defended by German counsel assisted by British lawyers if he wishes them. Paris, July 4. The announcement by Premier Lloyd George that the former kaiser would be brought to trial was a complete surprise to the peace delegates here, it developed today. Although Secretary Lansing Is chairman of the committee on re sponsibility for the war, he had no knowledge of plans for Wilhelm's trial until he read of them in the news papers. It was not known today whether Lloyd George was playing politics or announcing a eerious decision of the big four. Charges Facing WUhclm. London, July 4. The former Ger man kaiser will be charged with vio lating the neutrality of Belgium and Luxemburg, it developed today fol lowing Premier Lloyd George's an nouncement that the ex-cmperor would he brought to trial. All the allies will join in a request to Holland to deliver Wilhelm to an allied committee, which will be formed to frame the proceedure of the trial. There is no precedence by which the trial can be conducted. Another Lloyd George Surprise. The only surpriEe of the report by Premier Lloyd George on the work of the peace conference to the house of commons yesterday was the news that the former German emperor would be tried in London. The pre mier has a habit of launching news in speeches, a notable previous in stance being his address in which he said that three submarines had been sunk in one day. That address came at a time when the submarines were the most menacing factor in the war situation. The decision to bring the former emperor to London with other promi nent accused persons, has been a well kept secret, and it is understood Mr. Lloyd George was responsible for the proposal. Holland, however, has yet to be reckoned with, it is reported. (rnntinui' on cr It.i IN REVOLUTION! Uprising Breaks Out at Lima, Peru, Todny. President Pardo and Members of Cabinet Imprisoned, Lima.

The claim, however, was disputed by Antero Aspillaga. the candidate of the Civil party, who. in a statement made on May 22, declared that the decisis" would rest wholly with the congress which convenes on July 2s.

There is no satis factory explanation unless it be that there was nothing else to do. Japan had Shantung and meant to keep It with or without the consent of her partner In the war. President Wil son had undergone an experience in trying to make Mexico salute the Stars and Stripes and naturally shied at at tempting to force Japan to do any thing to which she objected. The only way out was to consent. His reward was the adhesion of Japan to the League of Nations. The excuse of fered for consenting to allow Japan to retain Shantung is that she has prom ised to return It to China at a later date. Of course nobody believes that he will do anything of the sort. The government has printed a list of the things that are taxed. What a waste! How much cheaper it would have been to print a list of the things that are not taxed! Lloyd George stated the peace prob lem in a few words: "There will al ways be criminal states until the re wards of international crime become too precarious to make it profitable, and the punishment of international crime become too sure to make it at tractive." These services to the world the League of Nations is expected to pearform. A group of Minneapolis business men have organized an association to undo the work of Ptolemy. Julian and Pope Gregory, all of whom have had something to do with our calendar. The American Equal Month Cilendar association desire to do away with February 29th birthdays and Sunday Fourth tjf Julvs, and substitute for our fickle calendar a beautifully regular one of thirteen months of exactly four week each. Under this system it will be necessary to even up the year by creating two extra "floating" days i one a New Tear day placed between the last day of December and the first day of January and the other, called "Correction Day," Inserted in leap years after the New Year day. But what, asks The Review, will be the use, since July 1, of a New Year day even tho followed by a "Correction Day?" Former Congressman Herman Met of Brooklyn, N. Y., appearing before the ways and means committee recent ly, advocated a SO per cent ad valorem duty for dyes. Metz was a Democrat In congress, and voted to the tariff lav of KIR Today Metz wants dyes protected, because he is head of the Metz laboratories, which manufacture dyes. Funny how quickly the Demo crats change their tune when their personal interests are affected. Rep resentative Frank Clark of Florida al ways Insisted on protection for pine apples. All of which goes to prove that General Hancock was not far wrong when he declared that the tariff Is a local issue. A thorogoing improvement in busi ness conditions during June is report ed. This has been due In part, says a bulletin Issued by the National City bank of Chicago, to the realization that the negotiations of the Paris peace conference were about complet ed and to the growing consumption of merchandise by the people of the agri cultural states. It is apparent that the purchasing power of the agricul tural states is at record level even al lowing for the very much higher com modity prices aa compared with nor mal years. The steel mills of this dis trict are getting more orders and the growing inquiry for structural steel Is suggestive of the revival of the build ing industry. Were the railroads to re-enter the market with large orders, noteworthy activity might prevail. The mills are doing a better business and lea i being heard of the incline-1 tion on the part of consumers to await price recessions. The attitude of most buyers is that even if concessions should come later on, it would be bet ter business for them to satisfy pres ent demands without longer delay. WHAT ABOUT MEXICO? Reports of the murder and robbery of American citizens continue to come out of Mexico. Not all of these out rages arc credited to the followers of Villa. Instances are related in which the perpetrators have been clad in the uniform of Carranza soldiers. Surely something should be done about Mexico. Events appear to be moving rapidly towards the precipi tation of a climax. The testimony of Mr. Polk before the houaeuforeign af fairs committee is a step in that direc tion. The Juarez battle is another step along the same lines. If we entered that fight as an ally of the irresponsi ble brigand Carranza against the ir responsible brigand Villa, we should know the fact. Circumstantial evidence sow points strongly to the conclusion, says Har vey's Weekly, that, however well the provocative circumstances were man aged, we did to all intents and pur poses send our men across the border to fight Carranza's battles. We had tried to help Carranza prior to the bat tle by giving his troops permission to cross our territory. It was only on the 28th of May, because of a storm of protest, that that permission was re voked. When Villa attacked Juarez, and would have taken it but for our intervention, bullets wounded Ameri cans in El Paso. With the knowledge that this would provoke Instant American Interven tion, to whose interest was it, Car ranza's or Villa's, Inquires Colonel Harvey, that that intervention came? To the Interest of which of the two was it that bullets wounded Ameri cans In El Paso: Carranza's, for whom American intervention meant victory', or Villa's, for whom ourMntervention meant the instant defeat which -e ul timately suffered? Senator Fall, of New Mexico, speak ing in the senate, said that geographi cally speaking, no man could tell whether the bullets came from Car ranzistas or Vlllistas. I American-hating Carranza appears to be the pet of the administration. He was a factor in our determination that the Mexicans should not have Huerta for their president, altho all the other governments were content to recognize him. In effect, it was in Carranza's interest that we made that descent on Vera Cruz which was seem ingly devoid of purpose, devoid of oth er than deplorable results, and pro ductive only of death and wounds for our American seamen, death and mis ery for hundreds of helpless ones In Vera Cruz, and contempt for our gov ernment. But It put Carranza in pow er ultimately. Just as our intervention at Juarez tends to keep him in power. If General Funston had been per mitted to continue hi work so well begun at Vera Cruz, Mexico before thi time would have been a decent and orderly country. The task which Funston started is still to be complet ed and must be finished at some time both for the good of Mexicoj and that of ourselves. Quoting from Senator Beveridge: "For years Mexico has been in a state of anarchy; American men and women have been killed and out raged. American property destroyed, the American flag literally trampled in the dust." Along the whole length of the Mex ican border American troops are on guard day and night. The actual mon etary cost to the American people has beeTi estimated at $1,000,000 per week. Our troops are there to protect the border from raids, murders and rob beries, and that the world may not be shocked and horrified by a repetition "of the Columbus raid. Plans, drafted by a committee of fifteen business leader, representing the Chamber of Commerce, real estate board and the Rotary club of Jack sonville, Fla., call for the expenditure of $100,000 a year for five years for the purpose of making known the pos sibilities of Jacksonville thru adver tising, establishing a convention bu reau and in other ways. During a banquet at which were 200 represen tative citizens, the plans were present ed and unanimously adopted and re ferred to the governors of three in terested organizations for further study. Under the plans outlined they will try to convince the Jacksonville peopl4 that their city is destined to become the greatest In the southeast. Then they propose to publish book lets, literature and to advertise exten sively In the newspapers and maga zines, and to have an administration force directly controlled by a board of directors composed of the best and most successful business men of the community. Persons lacking faith in the success in city building to be at tained thru publicity of this kind have but to look at Los Angeles, a city built absolutely on advertising. Without resources of any kind except a prolific horticultural country, requiring Irriga tion, it has grown from a city of 60.000 in 1890 to one of more than half a mil lion population, and printers' ink and an army of boosters did it all. The leisurely manner in which the big British blimp is making the trip to America indicate that this means of air travel will be the popular one for those persons who are not In a hurry. Crossing with heavier than air machines may be quicker but It is more strenuous and possibly more un certain. There appears to be a gen eral' feeling of confidence that the blimp will arrive. EVENING STORY j Sporting Blood. BY WILL T. AMES. The only person In the "Argus" of fice who didn treat little Miss Mc Lean with the utmost respect from the moment of her Joining the staff was Bannister. Bannister wasn't the typical sporting editor of fiction and the movies. He didn't wear checked suits. He didn't gabble unceasingly in baseball slang. He was tall and som ber and chronically pessimistic con cerning prize fighters, star pitchers and race horses. He was sporting editor because of an uncanny gift of analysis that made him the best fore caster in that field in the state. The "old man" had discovered this quality in Bannister and bribed him. with an Increase In pay, to quit gen eral reporting and specialize in sports. Bannister didn't like being a sporting editor. He wanted to be the paper's feature writer. And Betty McLean had Just been given that Job. Betty had come to the "Argus" from an unimfrortant upstate paper. Enders, the old exchange reader, had discovered her stuff and showed it to the boss. Phillips was always after good material. He sleuthed Betty out and hired her. When Billy Saunders, the city edi tor, introduced Bannister to Miss Mc Lean Bannister grunted. H.e didn't give the girl a second look which was bad Judgment, because Betty was well worth looking a.t. Also she overheard part of what Bannister said to Bart Heminway, the police man, as he passed the latter's desk a moment later; something about "putting the newspaper business on the blink." From the apprehensive glance Heminway directed toward her at Bannister's words, Betty knew well enough what It was the lanky sport ing editor had said. She flushed hotly but made no sign. Then and there, tho, she resolved to "show that big boor that if anything Is putting the business on the blink it isn't the women." Betty took rather more pains than she otherwise might have to be nice to everybody else in the "Argus" shop, so as to make more pronounced the lofty Indifference with which she treated-the sporting "editor. She ig nored his almost Insultingly perfunc tory greeting the next time they met and after that the sporting editor and the new feature writer apparently were unaware of each other's exist ence. Betty had been on the "Argus" al most two weeks before she got a, chance to show what she could do. Indeed, she was beginning to wonder whether Saunders's idea of utilizing a woman writer was to keep her run ning around to suffrage meetings, get ting photographs of "richest babies." and such like cubs' errands, when her opportunity came. Down at the South End there was a big acid works. An explosion in one of the buildings killed six of the for eign employes and maimed many oth ers. The fire department had had an heroic Job. It was a big story but man's stuff, all of it. Saunders, hap pening to glimpse Betty, a wistful out sider to all the hustling work going on, called to her. "Go and get a sob story on the wives and sweethearts of the explosion victims," he said, and turned back to his schedule. Betty got the story. Every one of the six had had a family. Four of the families had been planning to return to the old homes in Europe the next week. "The story was full of possibili ties. Betty wrote it magnificently. In bold, splendid strokes. Saunders had limited her to hair a column, schedul ing it for a minor head and to "follow all explosion." When he read what the girl had written he played her story up in a three-column box in black type. Bannister always read every word of the "Argus" except the sporting page. He was poring over the paper next day when Betty came Into the city room. He was reading her story for the second time. The girl looked clean over his head and went straight to her desk. Bannister, peering sol emnly over the top of the paper, studied her intently. Presently she went out. VWell, the darned little cuss!" said Bannister to himself. "And I had the gall to think I'd make a feature writer!" There was one man in the "Argus" office who was even more thought fully courteous to Betty than any one else. That was Travers, the dra matic and musical critic. Travers was as immaculate in manners as in dress, and very, very superior. He had a Harvard accent and no inti mates in the office. Betty considered him the fnost genuinely cultured man she had ever met. He talked literature, particularly poetry, with her. The day after her beautifully pathetic picture of the stricken widows and orphans appeared Travers bestowed upon it an analyti cally calm approval that she valued more than all x the enthusiastic praise of the rest of the office. Then he invited her out to dinner. Bannister saw them going, noted the deferential yet protective attitude of the critic, and swore volubly. A month passed. Then came the night of the riot. It had germinated In a nest of anarchists In the slums and It broke out of a clear sky. A hard, bad crowd gathered silently, then with a sudden, crashing uproar began raiding the arms and ammuni tion places. The police reserves were out and the riot call for troops sent in. The town was in a turmoil, the streets perilous all In a moment. Betty had been din in cr with Travers. a frequent custom. They had been to a foreign restaurant, a little away from the center of things. As they turned a corner they found themselves In the midst of a frantic crowd, red-llagged, crying "Death to capitalists!" One burly fellow threw an American flag on the ground, spat upon it, kicked it. Betty flamed into fury. "Stop that, you you creature!" she cried, shak ing her fist at the brute. "Make him stop it!" she demanded, turning to Travers. With one accord the wild eyed crowd rushed howling at them. And Travers. shaking Betty's hand from his arm, turned and fled. The burly man, first tc reach Betty, seized her arm with a cruel grip. Thrusting his face close into hers, he swore vilely at her in English. "We fix such kind you! Right now!" he shouted. Then, still gripping her arm. he turned, leering, to his companions and gabbled some question in a for eign tongue. At that instant a long police night stick swung over Betty's shoulder and the burly man went down with a thud. A ruck of rioters rushed at whoever was behind her. For an Instant Betty was in the midst of a scuffling, grunt ing, cursing mass. A strong arm swung her into the shelter of a long body, and twice again the yellow stick resounded on thick skulls. Mo mentarily the crush of ill-smelling humanity leaned away from her. Then around the corner came a dozen policemen with riot guns. The Bol shevists scattered and fled. And Betty found herself snuggling tightly to the side of Fred Bannister. "By thunder, girl, I only got here In time!" He laughed thru labored breathing. "Oh, dear'" shivered Betty. "It was mighty lucky for me you happened to come "'Happened' be blowed! I heard you mention the Little Europe as you came out. When this started I knew you were In wrong in that company. So I bummed this club and came a-running. I met Mr. Yellow Fellow beating it. Listen, Betty. I don't need to tell you what sort Travers is. He's told you all about himself now. After this I'm going to take you around. You need an escort with less culture and more sporting blood." "Well, after the way you've treated me I like your nerve!" protested Betty; but she smiled gratefully up at him. "Glad you do." replied Bannister. "It's brand- new."

CHAPTER CVII. J ust after Mr. Frederick had said he could do Tiothing for Neil unless he himself wanted to help, others came and we had no further oppor tunity for talk together. I urged him to remain to dinner, but he had an en gagement. I hoped Neil would come home and that if we both talked to him he might listen. I knew from Frederick's manner that things had reached some sort of a crisis. Miss Wilson came in Just as Fred erick was leaving. She persuaded him to wait until she had a cup of tea, promising to drop him at his hotel if he would. "I have a new Rolls Royce. I should like you to see it." she had said with an arch look at him. All the women I knew that had met him liked this blunt friend of mine this man who called things by their names, and whose word was nover questioned. "That is an inducement. I mostly ride in flivvers at home." was his characteristic answer. Then Maud Wilson remarked: "I haven't seen you at Mrs. Powers lately, Mrs. Forbes. She had a won derful affair the other night. I looked for you and your handsome husband. I made some sort of a reply,- my cheeks burning." Fortunately no one save Mr. Frederick heard her. He ig nored what she had said, and without giving me time to reply commenced to talk of her new car. She was imme diately Interested, and so I was spared the mortification of an answer. So we were absolutely dropped by Mrs. Powers, and of course by her set. The one in which I had hoped to move. It had been a large affair, and we had not been invited. I was very glad I had not gone any further with my so cial planning. I should have been laughed at, my efforts a failure. My lips quivered as I thought of it. Z carught the pitying look in Mr. Fred erick's eyes and pulled myself togeth er sufficiently to bid them good after noon in my usual manner. But after every one had gone I threw myself on my bed and sobbed for half an hour It was hard to be slighted, harder be cause I knew I had done nothing to deserve it. I would tell NeiL- It might be a good reason to urge more caution on his part as to his associates, and his business methods. But whea, finally Neil came in I had forgotten that such people as the jThc George Matthew Adams -rrrv WfM GO VISITING. The trouble with most of us is that we live too much at home.

I was thinking of this old man and his savings bank bridal present the other day when I went to the funeral of a man I have known a long time. For the past twenty years he has re ceived a salary of $15,000 a year. He had no one tut his wife to support, yet when he died he left behind him an automobile, the furniture in their apartment and 1300 in the bank. That was all. Not a dollar of life insurance, j Not a foot of real estate. Not a bond. Not a share of any kind of stock. And-he left a frail, delicate, middle aged wife, used to luxury and ex travagance, utterly mcapaDie oi making her own living, anddoomed to an unwelcome dependent7 upon rela tives who have already all they can do to support their own families. The poor woman was crushed with grief over losing her husband and frantic with dread of the bleak and dismal future that awaited J er. "I never thought that John would die," she kept moaning, and then she would wring her ands and ask frar.t icallv, "Oh. why didn't we save some thing? Oh, why didn't we save some thing?" And one could but wonder why not, indeed, for death comes to all, and old age comes to all. Thy are the two certain facts in life that we cannot escape, and how any human being can be foolish enough not to try In some way to prepare for them, passes all comprehension. Yet we see people spending as they go. laying up noth ing for the evil day that is sure to overtake them. This is worse than folly. It is a crime, because the spendthrift does not injure himself alone, nor suffer alone for his folly. He forces innocent people to pay the reckoning for his self-indulgence. The man and woman who spend their money on their own extrava gances, knowing that when they get sick and get old some one else will have to provide for them, are just as dishonest as if they stole the money out of other people's pocketbooks. They trade upon family affection and family pride to prevent themselves from being sent to the charity ward of hospitals or the poorhouse, and are unconcerned about taking the bread out of children's mouths, and robbing old age of the comfort it should have. The spenders admire themselves for their generosity and the carelessness with which they fling money about. Perhaps if they saw themselves in their true light as tieves and grafters they might have more respect for the homely virtue of "thrift, which is the foundation of honest self-respect, suc i cess and comfort in one's old age. j (Copyright, 1910, bv the Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.) PHELPS Powers existed or that I had ever had any social aspirations. I was bathing my face, so that Neil might not know I had been crying when I heard a scream, then my boy calling for me. I rushed from the room and down the stairs. While playing in front of the house, Robert had fallen in such a way as to break his arm. We carried him up to his room, then called a doctor. I was almost mad with pity for the poor child until he came; then faint when Robert screamed as it was set. For tunately Neil did come home, and altho he went out later, he remained with us until Robert fell asleep, worn out with the 'pain. I sat beside my boy until Neil came In a little after midnight. When he insisted I go to bed I had no strength to resist, so gave up my place to him. We had a nurse, but both idolized our boy and would not have dreamed of leaving him alone with her under the circumstances. They did not call me until almost time for Neil to go to the office. He had snatched a little rest on a couch he had had brought into Robert's room, but Vie looked white and worn. "A gooJI bath and some coffee will set rhe up," when I told him he looked tired, and then he hurried away to get ready for the day. He looked in and bade us good bye before he went down town, but we had no time for any talk, even had we had the inclina tion. AH day I was kept too busy to think. It is hard to take care of a sick per son, no matter what their age. But when an active healthy boy is obliged to remain quiet, one's wits, must be sharp indeed If they succeed in en tertaining him. Robert, like all boys, tired of things quickly. I spent most of my time devising means to amuse him. I told him stories and when all else failed carried him down to the music room and played for him. He loved music and always kept very quiet when I played. About lour o'clock I heard Nell come in. I called: "We are here in the music room, dear, come in. When he did not re ply I swung around on the stool to see him standing in the door, a gray ness in his face, a despair in his eyes that frightened me. He motione me to say nothing. Then carried Robert up stairs, and left him with his nurse. I had followed slowly, wondering what dreadful thing had happened. That it was dreadful, I was sure.

INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON BI WILLIAM T. SLUl For July 6 Is "The Church: Its Life and Work." Acts 2:37-47; I Thesa. 5:11-15. The Oldness of Newest Socialism. Full circle swing the wheel. AH the world is agog over the new mood of socialism that is expressing Itself In violent forms in certain centers which hold public attention. Millions of people sincerely believe that this whole basic idea of a reconstructed social order is entirely niw. They as sume that socialism if so Indefinite a word be permissible is a discovery of recent years. Yet here we come upon a picture of the first company of Christian be lievers, bent upon realizing complete communism selling their individual possessions and having all things in common, and moving altogether in a mood of high spiritual exaltation. We might almost say that the Christian church began as an experiment in socialism. Today the church is the world's best bulwark against the extremes ot socialism, such as Bolshevism, which are being preached by radicals in Russia and elsewhere. How are these two positions to be reconciled? Has the church lost her gleam, and .s communism right? Or is the church right and are the Bol shevist theories wrong? We look to the story for the an swer. The Christian church was. and is, the organisation of the friends of Jesus. He established it to carry on his message and mission. He provid ed an initiatory rite, baptism, and a commemorative function, or sacra ment, the euchsrlst, or Lord's Supper. In addition, all his followers were characterized by the habit of prayer; and they Instinctively, and by com mandment also, assembled together for fellowship, and to hear reminis cences about Jesus, his life, his work, and his words, from those who had companled with him In the flesh. A formal inauguration of the church was the mysterious and supernatural descent of the Holy Spirit at Pente cost, to be to the disciples all that Jesus himself hnd been when alive teacher, inspirer, present Friend. When Socialism Was First Tried. Life has its climactic moments, its transcendent experiences, by which all else is measured and dated. In such an upheaval, the Pentecostal Visitation, the early Jerusalem church came to self-realization. The unity of the brotherhood was dominant. Men and women knew themselves to be one in a new and supreme fellowship. The fact that they were Christians touched by the divine fire, aware of their ac ceptance by Christ, made everything else seem relatively unimportant. By the accession of three thousand re cruits, under the stimulus of Peter's great sermon, they were suddenly con fronted with a new sense of their solidarity as Christians. They became, as it were, a special community within the city and the happiest, sweetest spirited, cleanest-living section of the population. Under the impulsion of the new emotion, they decided to pool their possessions. It was unthinkable to them that there should be social de grees or classes-among the brethren. As members of one great family, the young Christian church, they decided to hold all things in common. The poor shared the property of the rich; the rich had the voluntary help of the poor. It was a case of emulation in self-sacrifice and In affectionate serv ice. In eating and drinking, in work and in workshop, there was a sim plicity of thankfulness and mutuality such as the self-seeking old world had never seen before. -Significantly, we hear little more about the economic aspect of this ex periment in socialism. Had the zeal of the disciples carried them to Im practicable lengths? Soon we read of Paul's taking up a collection for the help of the mother etiurch t Jerusa lem: the community had evidently gone on to the rocks economically. Communism has revived in various ways in the church thruout the suc ceeding centuries, as in the monastic orders and in certain groups of live minded Christians, but communism is not a teaching of any considerable section of the church today. Something Better Than Socialism. This is an arresting situation, and it will this week receive widespread study by millions of alert' persons who follow the International les sons, keen to discern the present ap plications of Scripture. Either the first group of Jerusalem Christians overstressed the social and economic side of their discipleship, or else ex pressed it in a mistaken form, or the Christian church as a whole has been guilty of a profound error and apos tasy. Let us see. Forma are incidental and transi tory the spirit is essential and abid ing. Jesus himself laid down that principle. The world needed a scheme of communism less than It needed a new -disposition of genuine brother hood. Christ did not come to estab lish any special form of social order, communism or aristocracy, any more than he came to set up a distinctive form of government, as the republican j or the monarchial. Instead, he put i into the hearts of his people a new lire of divine love for th3ir kind. His j followers have always been known for j their good will toward men. They do j good to all men, and especially to j such as are of the household of the j faith. Jesus creates saints; and saints re-create society. Because becoming a Christian is an individual, ratherfhan a mass mat ter, and because the w jrld over has j a greater need of vitalized personal ities than of new institutions, the stamp of Scriptural approval is not given to that first impulsive effort at communism, other than to record the fact. The church is a living organ ism, and not a static construction. Her members have shaped, and te shaped the world, and are still do:mj so. Nevertheless, the Christian in terest ia primarily in the Individual man or woman. Institutions only Incidentally mould people; people shape Institutions. We find that Into the early church, even during the first blush of Its experi ment in communism, there crept into the fellowship those, like Ananias and Sapphira. who really did not belong within the church. They prefigured the doom of any society which coulaT i be employed for purpose of self ex I ploitatlyn by designing persons. In Russia, it is the designing self-seekers, i the crafty politicians after power and J privilege and wealth, who have capi- talized and perverted the simple and generous Instincts of the Russian I masses, whose Christian Impulses made them ready for anything that called itself brotherhood or democ racy. Russia, like the rest of the world, as it comes under the sway of In- telligent Christianity, will find ltsel developing a noble and altruistic in dividualism, wherein each is his best self in order that he may best serva others. That Is better than Socialism. Good will of the Good. Sometimes the church has become so institutionalized that she has rep resented classes, rather than the en tire mass of mankind. Therein she has fallen short of her true mission as Christ's church. Whenever the church fails to be Instantly sensitive to every cry of human need, she there by shows that she has ceased to be sensitive to the impulsion of her Mas ter's Spirit. If at any time she fails to be in the forefront of movements for the amelioration or reconstruction of the social order, she thereby comes short of the divine office. The church is not the handmaiden of things as they are: She is the herald of things as they ought to be. Two great social and economic func tions the church Is constantly fulfilling though these, it must ever be re membered, are subordinate to her divine mission of leading men to per sonal salvation thru Christ. One is to create within herself a fraternity of friends of God. who shall be a refuge and an incentive to all people every where. There Is no mistaking the beaching that the Bible designs the Christian tie to be the strongest tie. It should mean more tD a man to be a Christian than to be a Mason or an Elk or a Democrat or a Granger. The goodly fellowship of Christians should be the greatest social bond as it really is today. Thank God for the billions of people who have their social relations almost wholly within their churches; for that society is whole some, simple, mutually helpful. To belong to church should mean, in all practical ways, more than to belong te any other body in existence. In the second place, the church per meates and leavens the world with people ot good will. This has been the greatest Indirect service of Christian ity to the race. Who have dreamed the great dreams of world peace and of world fraternity? The Christian nations, and the men In them who have been avowedly Christian dis ciples. Consider the part that those eminent Christian laymen known as such beforever they came to political position President Wilson, Lloyd George and Arthur Balfour, are play ing In the reconstruction of the world. They are only typical of an uncounted company of men and women servants of our time who could say, in their in nermost hearts, "The love of Christ constraineth us." Inventors, mer chants, scientists, writers, publicists, educators, all would acknowledge that force In their public service. Turning aside from the eminent and distin guished, we have only to remember that the public school teachers of the land are splendidly Christian In their motive and in their influence. It would take many volumes to trace the Influence of the church as a force for good will In contemporary life. Behind the Better Da;:. Beyond question, the tides of our times have set in strongly toward so cial changes of a radical nature. Rid ing on those tldea are sinister pirate craft. Nevertheless the moverrlent Is good end of God. No honest person, with a drop of blood of sacrifice and unselfishness in his veins, will de other than cheer the progress of lm provemert in human relationships. Let all changes for the better come, and be accelerated. But let them be changes born of good will, and of a sincere desire for the welfare of all men everywhere. So long as change brings us closer to genuine brother hood, it is to be welcomed and sided, whatever the cost. There Is no price we are not prepared to pay for the realization of a reign of love among all people. In a time like the present, the church, which is the greatest force In the-world, should throw herself whole heartedly into a realization of what-' ever Is Christian in the day's social movement. Likewise, she should fearlessly oppose whatsoever Is spur ious and hurtful. As she should be the proponent of Christian democracy, and of Justice and liberty to the limit, so she should also be the opponent of Bolshevism and of class hatred .and of social spoliation. Let no well meaning sentimentalist make the mis take of welcoming anarchy and ill will, for these are un-Chrlstian. A fresh pursuit of the high ethical stand ards of the church will save the world from the horrors of a reign of destruc tive license and Intolerance. When we strengthen the Christian church In her purity, we are strengthening the causes of man's social welfare and of universal progress; as well as of the glory of God. litikBcfltvs NOTL2sDOOK rape dryjismusHii I was laying on the floor In the setting room feeling kind of funny in- side and wishing sumbody would In- f vent a way to do homewerk by eleck tricity, and pop was smoaking and thinking, and I sed.

The Ukrain ian press bureau announced today that after a desperate battle of four days between the Poles and the Ukrainians. the latter occupied Odessa. This is the first intimation of fight ing between the Poles and Ukrainians In the Odessa regions. Dispatches yesterday told of a Polish advance against the Ukrainians in eastern Galicta. Wealthy Farmer a Suicide. Emporia. July 4. Albert Triggs. a wealthy farmer, living near Emporia, was found dead on the back porch of his home with a shotgun wound thru his heart. Suicide was the cause of his death, according to the verdict of a coroner's jury. Triggs is said to have been temporarily deranged. He was prominent in local politics. r THE Wit T EE L Orpheum. Cosmo Hamilton, who wrote "Men, Wo men and Money," waa ofTn the Idle ways or the Idle rich when he took his pen in hand. He may not have been losing heavily at bridge, and no woman may have do.ie him wrong and be may not have had a morning after headache. But when he wrote this story he was offn the Idle ways of the idle rich, So he took a beautiful blonde, whom be introduced as "the beJplees pro duct of a fashionable finishing school and located bei in a humble home of a town possessing probably not more than twenty thousand inhabitants and gave her a lovely and devoted father and mother. Those dear folks always saved the tender loin for their dear Marcel. Father spent his snbstance on graceful gowns for daughter ana mother oeut tier to tue aimug room where you belong. I won't have you stauainic over tnis not stoe, dearie.' lien Marcel received an invitation to go east to visit a rxieud in society. Mr. Hamilton rutti lessly made the old folks mortgage their borne In order that hejr wish might be gratified. Once he gets ibis fair heroine in toe east tue autnor cuts loose. .Misery, miserere. Her parents die: friends turn catty and the men she meets niy dear, you never saw such men. They're a bunch of how ling cynics who, after the manner of tne devil, go about use nous seeding wnum they might devour aud pay bills for with out the formality of marriage. One of these. Mr. Lew Cody, just doesn t believe tbere is such a thing as an unsophisticated aud decent girl until Marcel shows him. Bul she shows him. Having learned a lesson herself, she gives him one. And of course, tbeu be never rests till be rescues her from her penury and persuades her to marry him and his millions. Yes, he is worth teaching. The production and acting are excellent. Nothing could be more beauti ful than Miss Clayton. Nothing coula be sweeter than Lew Cody, baud on heart, admitting wrong and begging forgiveness. But the story IS PERFECTLY TERRI BLE. I do not beg of you, after com mending the other sterling actors, to cast your eyes on that Zazu Pitts. There is a little somebody who is going to up and surprise us all some day. Watch her come from there. Novelty. Here Is a five-reel western melodrama released thru Pathe. To be appreciated or enjoyed by those who care tor them, melodramas must at least have possible and plausible situations. Failing in this, a melodrama, is at once unconvincing and its power to entertain is in direct ratio with its power to convince. Fast moving as Is "Where the West Begins," Its impossible and improbable situations border on the grotesque. Yet there is something of in terest in it, yet nothing new. i'he im pression is galued that an effort has been made to make "speed" synonymous with "action," but the result Is far from satis factory. Repetitions of situations are several, such as Redfern William Rus sell) leaping from an automobile to a mov ing train aud later a similar stunt is ef fected by him from his pony. He is con tinually lassoing people when other methods, far more simple, would be much more gentle and efficacious, and certainly methods which would create less labor on his part. He ropes Prudence (Eileeu Percy) with unfailing monotony, and he. it must be said, rather jars the accepted iaea or tne western nero always being gentle with women. He does not believe In such methods, aud bis handling of the lady would be some what rough for even one of bis cowboy colleagues, lhe character or itediern wii not win the sympathy of an audience, which will rather go to the society youth uymg or ennui. "Where the West Reigns.' must be put down as medicore and not np o the stan dard of the average Pathe release. And. oh. I nearly forgot to tell you that an optimist is a cut that can whistle when he cvts Work Regularly. Holtz Is Restored to Health by Tanlac. "I have ben trying ior four years to find a medicine that would overcome my troubles, but I never had any suc cess until I got hold of this Tanlac," said Robert Holtz, who lives at 1417 Baltimore Ave., Kansas City, Mo., the other day. "When I commenced taking Tan lac,' continued Mr. Holtz, "my stom ach was in such bad condition that I was actually afraid to eat anything at all. My food would sour, and this would cause gas to form, and I would be perfectly miserable for hours af terwards. My kidneys were out of or der, too, and I would have the worst sort of pains in my back every day. My liver wouldn't act well, either, and I was badly constipated all the time. Then my whole nervous system seemed to give down, and I didn't know what a good night's sleep was. I finally got so bad off that I had to lay off from my work three or four days every week. It just seemed impossi ble for me to find a medicine or treat ment that would do me any good at all. "I really didn't expect Tanlac to do me much good, but I had heard so much about it that I just thought I would try one bottle anyway. I felt so much better when I had finished that first bottle, that I bought anoth er, and I just kept that lick up until I am now a sound, healthy man again. My troubles have been com pletely overcome, and I am so well and strong that I never lose an hour from my work. The pain is gone from my back, and my kidneys seem to be all right now. My stomach is in such fine condition that I eat just anything I want, and I don't know what it is to suffer from indigestion and sour stomach any more. My liver is acting all right, too, and I am never consti pated like I used to be. I am not bothered with nervousness any more either, and I sleep like a log every night. In fact, Tanlac was the very medicine I had been needing all the time, and I am so happy over what it has done for me that I just feel like I want the whole world to know whai a wonderful medicine Tanlac is."

Flags in front of the more enthusi astic homes, strangely vacant streets, a few cars crowded with children and picnic baskets, here and there the sound of a cap pistol and a very small boy recklessly pointing his miniature gun at the passing cars those are the street scenes of Fourth of July morn ing in Topeka. Oh, times ain't what they used to be! Remember when you were wakened In the gray, gray dawn by the sound of a giant cracker and you thought, 'Gee whiz, that must a been a big one must o' been the one they've had down in Martin's win dow. Wonder who shot it off.' And then Just as soon as you dared soon er If you were a boy you got out of bed almost as excited as you are on Christmas morning and stole down to your carefully horded stack of noise makers; torpedoes, firecrackers of all sizes, caps and pistol or cane and the lovely long cylinders that sent forth stars and balls of fire at night. You had been collecting them for weeks and every extra nickel you could get went for one more pungent smelling. red wrapped, fantastically lettered j bunch of crackers. You loved them almost as you aid your aog you haa treasured them so long. Some you had opened Just to gaze in rapture on, the four even rows of red crackers with their fuses so intricately woven together that It took care not to pull them out and make it necessary to use them for "sizzers." But now that day had come when you could Joyfully and freely separate them all and after they were gone there was another bunch and another and another. But first before you lighted your punk and got ready for the real work1 of the day there were the torpedoes so easy to shoot off and somehow appropriate for the opening fire. You know how they come, packed in sawdust, those lit tle bags of tiny pebbles wrapped In pa per twisted so tightly at the top which you held as you aimed squarely at the cement walk and you dreaded that first one Just a little or quite a little if you were a girl. But you knew it was Just like going In swimming, once you are in and wet all over it doesn't seem cold or bad at all. And after a while you'll be as oblivious to the noise as a veteran of Gettysburg (this was before the day of the Argonne so we must not use it as an example). And from then on the family stop ped trying to sleep and the excite ment grew. After breakfast the neighbor children gathered in and you all worked at ahoottng crackers with as much avidity as cannibals do at eating their guests. In one small, dirty hand you held a piece of punk, olive drab in color, tho they didn't call it that then, and with the other you would apply the fuse of the firm ly held cracker, and then when the fire had crept up the fuse far enough so you felt sure it wouldn't go out but not too far to go off in your hand, you tossed It away and watched It ex plode. Sometimes you waited a little longer and threw it up so it went off in the air. That was a great feat. But mother had said be very careful and at first she objected to that But CZECHOSLOVAK RED CROSS HEAD SENDS PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE TO AMERICA Mrs. Whyte has been visiting her par ents, Mr. and Mrs. W.

WASTE IN HARVEST That Is Story Brought to Topeka by C. W. Hoops. A story of gross waste in the cutting of wheat was brought to Topeka to day by C. W. Hoops, who has been working as a harvest hand on a farm on the Mayetta Indian reservation. 22 miles north of Topeka. This farmer, he declares, is not going to cut the "back swath" a strip about 14 feet wide around the edge of each field but burn it off when the harvesting Is over. When the cutting starts in a field. there fs a strip around the edge about 14 feet wide over which the horses and binder travels, but wh'ch the cut ter does not touch. Ordinarily, when the rest of the field Is cut. the ma chine is run back along this strip, cut ting the wheat left standing. Beside this, some of the bundles which the binder kicks of into this back-swath are tied and some are not. Hoops said. He stated that the men were instruct ed to reclaim the knotted bundles but to let the untied bundles go that they would be burned with the back swath. There were two forty-acre fields and another large field where this program will be followed, Hoops said. In addition to these fields, there was a sixty-acre field in. which the wheat 1 had kinkled down and lodged. Hoops j said. He stated the farmer told him that this would all be burned, because the elevators would not carry It to the knotter properly. Most of this field might be saved by using a mowing machine. Hoops said. He stated he did not know what action the farm ers were taking with regard to the bnck swath In other localities. Many hundred bushels of grain may be wasted in this manner, he said. FOREST FIREsHrAGING! Winds Fan Michigan Conflagrations Into Renewed Fury. Grand Rapids, Mich., July 4. Por tions of four counties of northern lower Michigan are being swept by forest fires. Around the village of Vanderbiit, in Otsego county, a num ber of families already have been driven from fheir homes, and in Kal kaska county householders in three towns are preparing to leave if the flames sweeping toward them are not checked before night. Hundreds of acres of timber lands have been swept over in Muskegon county. It is estimated the monetary loss in the four counties will total close to $1,000,000. Sault Ste. Marie, July 4. Forest fires, believed to have been brought under control, were again assuming threatening proportions in Chippewa county as the result of a brisk south easterly wind which as sprung up. At Strongs, near here, a number of box cars are being held in readiness to remove the entire population should efforts to check the flames fail.

Ai she was a Kood sport and like the rest grew hardened as the day wore on and tolerated things in the evening she would not have permitted in the earlier hours. There was the stunt of letting the cracker go off in the end of a hollowed corn cob, held as far out as possible. And finally your J bravery grew to such a pitch that en- j couraged by a oig brother (for in this; story you are usually a girl), yi! actually held one of the smaller ones! in your very hands after carefully i pinching the end together so it would- j n't backfire. And you shot them un- I der tin cans to make that lovely hoi- low sound two or three at a time. You wouldn't waste more. But along toward evening some wonderful uncle was sure to appear with a whole hand Col of new bunches of firecrackers, I and he would recklessly put as many j as half a bunch under a can at one i time. And how that can would jump! j And he would be the one to light the giant crackers that were saved along to punctuate the day like exclamation points. And even when the day was getting late and you had come to be a boon companion of. the ordinary size firecrackers you couldn't quite enjoy the great big ones, and they had such short fuses and you were always afraid they would go off before they should. But how beautifully they did explode and how they blew their fat red sides out! And all the while there were the pistols and the picnic and the general leniency of the family to make it a great day, and at night the fireworks. And you held the sky rockets that went shootlnfi off into the darkness, thrilling you to your very toes. Other people's skyrockets weren't half so wonderful somehow. And you held the roman candles, re membering to keep them twirling all the time. And finally when it was bed time and you crawled into it gladly, for a wonder, you were the ttredest child' in all the world and the hap piest. Oh, those were the days be fore the world was made safe for de mocracy and the Fourth and altho the children of today have many de sirable things well, they don't need to feel sorry for us old folks, do they?

S. Agent. Kansas City, Mo., July 4. Eight cents a bushel gross handling margin for country elevators and mills in buy ing wheat from farmers, Is the ex treme limit that will be allowed by the United States grain corporation. This statement was made by IX F. Piazzek, agent of the grain corpora tion in this zone, in commenting on a report from Concordia that seventy grain dealers have agreed to buy from the farmers in that region at 20 cents under the Kansas City price. The guarantee at Kansas City for No 1 wheat is $2. IS a bushel, and for Xo. 2, $2.15. The freight rate from Concordia to Kansas City is 15 cents a hundred, or 9 cents a bushel. Eight cents added to this would make the Concordia price to farmers $2.01 for No. 1 and $1.98 for No. 2 wheat. Mr. Piazzek talked with a country elevator operator in Concordia, who J denied that any agreement or under I standing had been decided on among buyers. Ai.y euiTipid nit l iio. i cuuuii y uuj ers are not paying a reasonable price, baeed on the Kansas City guaranteed quotation will be investigated Immc idately by this office," Mr. Plazzek said. "No profiteering of any sort will be countenanced for a moment anywhere along the line.' A board of trade member said that J.he reported agreement on prices to be paid farmers In northern Kansas probably arose from the fact that Kansas grain dealers have met with Secretary Smiley recently at several points in that region and discussed the subject of handling margins in buy ing wheat.
