 As a result of the reports made to- night by Mfr. De Martens and MT. Dem nison to their respective chiefs upon their work this afternoon at the navy yard In the drafting of treaty or peace M. wftte and Baron Komura had a brief conference in the former apartments at s:30 o'clock tonight re- garding some details of translation and the few points of interpretation upon which the framers had been unable to reach complete accord.
 When Baron Komura left Mir. Denni- son and Mir Adachi he entered the apartment of M. witte, where they were Joined by Mir De Martens and Mir. Plancon. This conference lasted for about half an hour, when the Jap anese returned to Baron Komura' g apartments, leaving M. Witte and his conferees. who remained in conference for more than an hour. M. Witte ana Baron Komura had no difficulty in com ing to an agreement on the disputed points and at tomorrows session the framers of the treaty expect to com plete their work. The treaty must then be engrossed In French and Eng fish in duplicate, which may take sew eral days. It is stated tonight that twelve articles of the treaty have been completed and agreed upon. It now seems probable that the framers will be able to confine the treaty to four teen articles instead of fifteen, as was the original plan.
 M. Witte continues to receive mes sages of reorganization from all the world He reads each one and gives direction to his secretaries regarding the answers to be sent.

Womens Work for Missions Mark
IA. 3-9 Acts 8. sc; Rom. 16. !, 2
The woman who anointed Jesus;
the patron saint of all Ladies' Aid
Societies, Dorcas; and Phebe, the
''succorcr of many" furnish us our
lesson basis. These all were noble
women who poured forth their love
to Christ in help to others, They are
worthy types of those noble bands of
Christian women who in our day have
banded themselves together to carry
the gospel to the neglected and Sc
cluded women OF heather lands. 1t
has crystallized itself into the WO-
mans Foreign and the Woman'S
Home Missionary Societies.
Ninety days after the organization
of our Parent Missionary Society in
1919 a "Woman's Auxiliary" was or
ganizcd in New York by DR., Nathan
Bangs and others. An address was
issued to the Female Members OF the
Methodist Episcopal Church" But in
time the society became almost inac-
tive and crowded out by the organi-
cation of other societies, II has been
estimated, however, that they con-
tributed at least $4,000 to the Parent
Society. When the China Mission was
planted in 1Si7 a society of women in
Baltimore was organized as the La
dies China Missionary Society" For
some twenty years this did a noble
work. 1t granted $4,000 for Female
Academy" in Foochow, and gave for
ten years $500 per year to the Parent
Society. The Union Woman's Mis-
sionary Society was organized in New
York in 1860, and many OF our church
women were active in it until the or
ganiZation of our own Woman's Fo-
reign Missionary Society
The organization OF this society was
effected in Boston in 1863 by few
elect ladies, some of whom are still
living. They rapidly grew in numbers
and in favor with the church. The
present work of the society is import
ant and growing rapidly. Their in
come is about 100000 "A year. They
support missionaries in all our foreign
fields. About $50 are now at work
under their direction Some 5000
auxiliaries at home with nearly 150,-
600 members insure a still larger ad-
vance in the future. Twenty-Five
thousand copies of the Woman's Mis-
sionary Friend go into the homes of
our people. In common with other
church boards of Woman's Societies
they are taking a systematic study Of
missions from textbooks prepared for
the purpose, This society Is only one
of many other church societies of
women who are sending the gospel
to the heather women who are mac
cesibe save through Christian women.

COMMERCIAL KtvitM.

r. G. Dun & Companys Weekly Re-
view OF Trade" says:
TRADE reports are less uniformly fa-
vorable, but adverse factors are Of q
temporary nature, and the net results
for the week is satisfactory.
Numerous strikes have occurred, ex-
erting the customary pcrnicious influence
over business, and the epidemic OF yell
low fever is restricting Southern trade.
On the other hand, thermal conditions
have facilitated retail trade, crop pros
poets have greatly improved, and out-of-
town buyers are numerous in all the
leading markets.
Iron furnaces and steel mills make
progress, but less rapidly. Lumber mills
and dealers are having an exceptionally
busy season Railway earnings in July
were IA per cent. greater than in the
same month last year.
Little change has occurred in the f.
nancial situation, rates ruling easy, while
prices OF securities have risen close to
the highest point on record.
Recovery in the iron and steel indus
try comes more slowly than was antici.

tons of better tone.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR NOTES
AUGUST TwENrY-sEvENTH.
Mission Work Among Women.--Acts
16: 1918; Tit. q: as. (Home
and Foreign Fieids.)
Some Bible Hints.

The chief difficulty OF missionaries
In the Orient Is to reach the women,
secluded as they are in harems; and
this seclusion dwarfs their minds as
much as II confines their bodies.
The winning Of the women means
the winning of the children. the SER
wants, and often of the men, so that
work for women Is especially import
ant.
In pagan superstition the women are
the soul of conservatism, and often
bitterly oppose any change on the
part of the men. They must be won
first.
Women have shone everywhere on
the mission fields, and especially in
the schools, where they have been in
deed teachers of good things"
Mission Notes Concerning Women.
A Christian woman went to work in
a negro settlement in the Indian Ter
ritory appropriately named Sodom. so
vile was 1t. In less than a year the
men had built school house and
church, and now the place Is called
appropriately, Pleasant Grove"
In heather lands the suffering
caused women by the ignorance and
superstition of the native doctors is
unequalled among the worlds tor
lures, and the woman medical mis-
sionary winds the endless gratitude of
the women whom she frees from these
agonles
DR.. Clara Swain was the first wo7
man medical missionary. She went
to North India in January, 1870.
When the medical missionary at
tended in her severe illness the wife
of the Chlns prime minister, Iii Hung
Chang, the great mans influence was
won for missions.
A mission school-teacher in Nor.
mon village was tormented by rab-
BILE Of boys, who stoned the school
house and tried to drive her out of
town; but one day she called in the
leader and got him to help her to put
up fallen stove pipe, SO winning him
that he became one Of the most sue
cessful pastors in Utah.
A mission teacher in New Mexico
was thwarted at every turn by a Ca
tholic priest, but she ministered to
the sick during a terrible scourge of
diphtheria and smallpox, and after
wards all doors were open to her.
