CHURCH In THE CONTEST
FIRST RETURNS ARE MADE
HoNoRS FOR WARRIORS.

Personalities are figuring more than
usual IN the contests. Mr.. Joseph
Chamberlain, the secretary of state for
the colonies, by reason of the aggres-
s1ve tone of all his speeches, is the OBJ
Ject OF many bitter personal attacks.
Some of his enemies have declared
him to be politically dishonest and even
go further than that
Winston Churchill, in Oldham. has
oeen 50 vigorously attacked that Gen
eral Sir Evelyn Wood, the adjutant
general, has TO come to his assistance
with letter declaring there was moth
| ing dishonorable connected with his
| resignation from the army and vouch-
| ing Tor the correctness of ChurchilPS
cual role of officer and correspondent.
Some of the liberals of Oldham appar-
emily make more serious insinuations
against the young candidate but, like
! his father, Churchill seems to revel in
! fight and is said to stand q good
chance of being elected His mother,
Mrs George West (Lady
ChurchilD, is aiding his canvass.

LambertOn, of the British cruiser Pow
erful, has been assisted in his fight
against the government by getting a
| letter from Lord Rosebery. He also is
backed by all the ariStOcratic interests.

Protestant Federation has received
promises from 300 candidates to oppose

the established church. On the other
hand, the leading Roman Catholic pa
pers almost unanimously support the
conservatives, believing that if they
are returned with a solid majority they
! Win achieve the project of giving Ire
land Catholic university and in other
ways see that the educational inter
| ests of Catholics in England do not
| suffer
The annual church congress, in pro
gress at Newcastle, was attended by
! the Archbishop of Canterbury and
nearly all the other Episcopal and lay
dignitaries, including several American
and Canadian clergymen. Though held
in the midst of the election excitement

proceedings were marked by uneEpect-
ed harmony The spectacle of Mr.. John

tiOns suggested to a writer the lion ly-
