to Parliament within the next few
weeks The new plan will affect about
100000 boys in the United Kingdom.
They are those in what are called the
board schools-the schools supported
by government and attended by the
children of the middle and lower
classes, as distinguished from the pri-
vate schools patronized by gentle
mems" sons, with which the Educa-
tion Board has nothing to do. Most
OF the boys who enter English board
schools do so at the age Of II Or IL,
and leave at IA or Is. Following the
new plan, in these three years they
will have learned the manual OF arms
thoroughly, as we'll as marching and
formation, using dummy guns. When
the boys leave school the cadet corps
will be ready to receive them, any
where between the ages Of IL and 1S.
They will then be armed with car
bines, will drill once or twice a week,
practice craftsmanship, go to camp for

CHURCH FOR AMERICAN FINNs

A national movement among tho
250,000 Finnish residents of America
has just been started in Ashtabula O.,
where Is located one Of the largest and
most important Finnish settlements in
this country. The object Of this move
ment is to do away with many of the
forms and ceremonies of the church Of
the motherlsnd, and to thoroughly
AInericanize the religion of the Firms.
A most important feature will be the
establishment of Finnish schools and
ministerial colleges in all parts OF the
United States where there are inhabit-
ants of this nationality. The new
movement is known as the Finnish IN
dependent Evangelical Lutheran Church
OF America, or the Kansan Synod
Delegates from several states were
present The first ministerial college
is to be built in Ashtabula and as soon
as ministers are graduated several
churches will be erected. Rev. Will
liam Williamson, the national president
of the new Independent church, was
born in Finland 40 years ago. He
gained most Of his education at the
University at Helsinki. During his So
journ in America he has recognized
the necessity Of Americanizing the

Gambia Held Out for That Length Of
Time.

Gambia Held Out for That Length of
Time.
One Of the longest sieges in history
was that OF Gambia (Crete). 1t lasted
twenty-four years. and was begun by
the Turks In June. 1645, when they
landed a large army, variously esti-
mated at from $4,000 to 10000 men.
On September 8. 1869, the town capitu-
lated, after siege which Is estimated
to have cost the lives of 10000 Chris
tians and nearly 10000 Turks. Con-
stantinople was besieged by either Per-
SLAMS or Turks from A. D. 626 to 675.
From 668 to 675 the Turks repeated
their attacks yearly. The siege Of Glib
raltar, attacked by land and sea, lasted
four years, from 1779-17S3. During
the thirty years war Olmutz was be-
sieged from 1642-164s. and was still
held by the Swedes in 1850. when they
gave 1t up In accordance with agree
ment, not compulsion. The siege Of
Lucknow furnishes the most famous
example Of British garrison holding
out against fearful odds. For eighty
seven days tho slender garrison held
out until relief came. This Is now
