the world is that which was taken IN
the past year In Japan.
With the federation Of two missions
OF the board In South Africa, the East
Central African mission has become the
Rhodesia branch Of the American Board
Of Missions In South Africa. During
the past year the work of the mission
has been affected by such events as the
completion of the great Victoria bridge
and the discovery OF gold, copper and
diamonds within the colony.
THE educational work of the Euro
pean Turkey mission was somewhat in
terfered with by an order OF the Bulga-
rian Government requiring each teacher
In private schools to have at least the
equivalent OF graduation from the ma
tional gymnasium.
Bulgaria is still in it's formative
state, and contempt of religion pre-
walls almost universally among the
educated classes. The great need is for
Christian leaders to guide the nation.
In spite OF the rapid increase in the
number OF schools in North China,
founded by Chinese officials and others
to give modern instruction, there is a
growing demand for Christian educa-
tion. Tientsin abounds in schools of all
grades. some requiring fees. some free
and some paying a bonus. yet Christian
schools are overcrowded and are re-
fusing applicants"

.BLAMEs HIS FLOCK FOR
DOWNFALL OF GIRLS
Bishop Says Woman's Lust
for Bargains Is Cause
of Low Wages

CHICAGO, Feb. ia dispatch to
the Tribune from Detroit, Mich, says:
Bishop Charles D. Williams declared
at a Lenten service attended largely
by society women yesterday that they
were to blame for the downfall Of girls
employed in big department stores.
Bishop Williams said: "A poor girl
goes to the city and begins to work in
department store managed by
Christian man. Her wages are about
81 a week. She cannot support herself
on that Then there comes the sugges-
tion-and I have heard it backed up
by the words of the so-called Christian
employer-that there are other things
that she can do.
who is responsible? You, my sister.
The day of judgment will be day of
surprises for you. You will perhaps
find yourself wearing the brand of
shame on your brow that now seems
so fair-not because of wrong that
you have done, but because by your
unholy lust for bargains you have
made conditions such that your less
fortunate sister is crushed to the mud
of the pavements."

The fact is that money is being sub
scr1bed for this important enterprise
and is being wisely expended in con-
struction work History is repeating
itself. In the dark days of the Civil
War, when the bankers failed the Gov
ernment, Jay Cooke, by the authority
OF President Lincoln, went to the peo-
pie precisely as we are going to the
2500 agencies throughout the North,
and the people, out of their savings,
saved the credit of the Nation. The
Chicago-New York Electric Air Line
Railroad pins its faith to the people.
Have you noticed the change in pub

while fascinating, seemed chimerical.

what Vice President Buckland of that
railroad says regarding the matter:

the great trunk lines in this country

The Chicago-New York Electric Air

That is what we have been saying
all along. The straight line wins. The

INVESTORS IN THE CHICAGO-NEW
YORK ELECTRIC DO NOT PAY
FOR WATERED STOCK
The steam railroads of the United
states seem to be between the devil
and the deep sea-" to use a phrase
which has become classical. On the
one hand they are confronted with an
urgent necessity and a public demand
for increased transportation facilities
On the other hand, they are face to face
with the difficulty Of securing the
necessary cash to meet the heavy ex-
penditures involved. The earnings of
American railroads are very great An
expert reporting to President Roose-
welt says the tariff charges can be cut
70 per cent without affecting dividends.
Their assets are enormous. At first
glance 1t would seem a simple matter
for them to raise millions, and it has
been In the past. The difficulty lies
in the fact that they are already mort
gagged up to the handle"
A railroad is about the only thing
which can be mortgaged for more than
its cost. According to the prevailing
system, nearly every railroad in the
land has been built, equipped and i'm
proved tnrough q. sale of first mortgage
much water" The fact that they are
worth. anything emphasizes the won
derful earning power of a well-man-
aged railroad. These railroads have is
sued bonds. until they have nothing left
to mortgage. They have little or moth
ing to offer in the way of security. and
people who have money to invest or
lend insist upon security.
