the Mail Service of Paris and All
France if Possible - Preparations
Under Way for Bitter Siege.

Paris, May 1.-THE chamber of
deputies, after a stormy session of
four hours today, adjourned the de-
bate on the interpretations on the pos
tai situation until May 10. The re-
sponse of the postal employees was
quick and decisive. Within half an
hour the federal committee had issued
an order for a strike and the railway
mail clerks walked out in body An
hour later meeting of 5000 postal
employees took up the battle and
unanimously voted to strike.
No great enthusiasm was shown
but determination 10 force the hand
of the government was apparent.
The government is playing for time;
we must not be caught mapping" was
the spirit of the meeting as expressed
by Pauron. a dismissed postal cler'
and one of the most active organizers
of the movement. During the debate
in the chamber. M. sembal and M.
Willm, socialists, defended the slrik-
ers, affirming their right to organize
dressing their grievances and charg-
ing the government with failure to
keep it's promises at the conclusion of
the strike, especially with regard to
the retirement of M. Simyan, under
secretary of posts and telcgraphs.
NJ. Deschanel considered the crisis
very grave. He laid the responsible
ity OF the present situation, largely on
''pariamentarism, which. he said
was working in a vicious way and he
considered the remedy would be the
Introduction of real civil service
based on merit.
Presents Proof.
M. Barthou, minister of public
works, the governments only spokes-
man, insisted that neither he no.
Premier Clemenceau had promise'
the dismissal of Secretary Simyan. F
produced the, .official journal as proc
of what he had said. The minister
reaffirmed the governments unalter
able opposition to the formation of
syndicate among state employees
Toward the close of the meeting of
the federal committee the speakers
became more excited in their denun-
citation of the government. A carica-
ture of M. Clemenceau was carried
into the hall amid boots and jeers.
For Liberty.
"You are fighting for liberty of opin-
ion and liberty of association" :" |
shouted M. Pauron, "and you must no.
resume work until you have obtained
the right to unite as a syndicate" |
A strike and branch committee were |
created and deputies We're dispatched |
to the provinces to pursue an activ' |
propaganda to make the strike com, |
plete The secret committee composed |
of men whose names We're not made |
public. SO that they might escape tho |
governments surveillance, was abol-
ished.
Dispatches were received from many |
cities announcing the support not only
of the postal employees. but Of the var.
ious trade unions. The miners CON
gress, now in session at Lens, also
pledged aid.
The president of the committee de-
clared that tomorrow not Il letter mast
leave Paris.

Rev. Charles r. Guthrie Speaker at
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Hold Many
Services in Open AIR.

Regular open-air services Of the Young
Mems Christian Association were held
yesterday afternoon IN Franklin Park.
The prayer was by Rev. +. D. Bailey, Of
Brooklyn. n Y. Rev. J. Henning Nelms.
pastor OF the Church OF the Ascension.
gave an address. 'For II this counsel and
this work be OF men, it will come 20
naught" He emphasized the fact that
the Christian faith was OF divine origin.
and pointed out that 1t had survived the
crucial test OF time.
"Scoffers at Christianity" he said,
have asked what our religion has done
for art. and We can answer with assur-
ance that 1t has inspired almost every
masterpiece OF painting and sculpture
the world possesses. 1t was the inspira-
ton OF Leonardo da Vincis' Last Sup
per; Of Dore's Christ Leaving the
Praetorium'; Of Holman Hunts Light
Of the World and OF the majority Of the
worlds great art creations.
1T Is important 10 note how Christi
anity has stood the test Of time IN Jew
ish thought Harris Weinstock, leading
Jewish philosopher OF America, said /.
Let the Christian continue 10 worship
Jesus as the divine man. and let the
Jews learn TO reverence Him as the hui
man who lived divinely' Jesus OF Naza-
reth is the link between the old mother
church OF the Jews and Christianity
Israel ZanEwill said. When all Chris
tans shall truly follow the teachings OF
Jesus, the Jewish religion will have com
pleted its work This last expression Is
a long step from the cry Of Cruelty Him"
which rang out on Calvary"
"A little more practice" Or. Nelms
said. "of the Christian charity which we
preach OF toward the Jews would break
down the thin veil which separates them
from Christianity"
Hymns were sung during the services
and an orchestra played several selec-
tions. At the meeting at Lincoln Park
Rev. $. w. Johnson preached.
At the Sunday services held last night
at the Hamline NJ L. Church, Rev.
Charles F. Guthrie, paster. addressed the
congregation. His text was. He that
spared not only his son. but delivered
him up for US; how shall he not with him
also freely give up all things?"
He said that Christ was Gods chief
gift TO man whereby mans past was re-
deemed and his future fixed. by the
coming OF Christ" Dr. Guthrie pointed
out. things that before were discussed
placed before US concretely and as in
disputable truths"

GIRL LOST In The MOUNTAINS
Miss Belle Evans, of Washington,
Passes Night in the Woods.
Goes Ont for Walk, and, Unable to
Find Way Back, Sleeps
Upon Rock.

Miss Belle Evans. OF Washington. a
guest at Skyland. a summer resort on
top Of the Blue Ridge. had a thrilling
experience. according 10 reports received
in Luray. Va.
Miss Evans took an evening walk alone
Unable 10 determine which Of the roads
to follow TO return, she became bewil-
dered' and as night approached her bear
lhss became the more uncertain, until
she realized that she was lost in. per
maps. the densest part Of the mountain.
Her absence aroused the guests OF the
camp and searching parties went out in
an endeayOr 10 locate her.
The distance she had travelled prevented
the searchers attracting her attention
Realizing the ODDS against them the
searchers did not give up their hunt
About daylight they came upon Miss
Evans lying upon rock asleep. She
had wandered about fifteen miles from
the camp.

EFFICIENT WORKERS NEEDED
Rev. John Graham, of Philadelphia,
Pleads for Church Helpers.

Rev. John Graham, pastor OF the East
Park Presbyterian Church OF Phnadel-
phia. occupied the pulpit Of the New
York Avenue Presbyterian Church yes
terday morning in the absence OF the
pastor. DR.. Wallace Radcliffe.
Dr. Graham declared that the cry IN
the church to-day is the same as that
in the world-for efficient men and wo-
men. The church must have workers
who are at all times prepared to per-
form the task that is set before them.
None, he said. are so humble or ignorant
that they may not become efficient in
this work.
DO not tell me-" he said, that YOU
are but an ordinary man and can do but
little. Why, the ordinary people control
the world. The work Of the world is not
done by the great whose names crowd
the newspapers, but by the common peo-
pie. 1t Is the ordinary men and women
in the church who do Gods work more
than the great and eloquent preachers"
He concluded by saying that each man
must live his own life, the only require
ment OF Christ and the church being
that he shall use what ability he has,
and use It efficiently, for the advance
ment OF the kingdom Of God.

ness. and he held up to scorn the sub
sutute which the former president Of
Harvard University has to offer. This
new religion, he said, Will appeal 20
many, !nasmuch as Il IS an essentially
selfish belief, and. although It may
catch the passing fancy Of a few, will
never stand the test of time. as IL Is
entirely too superficial. and does not go
down to the roots OF humanity as does
the old religion.
He especially protested against the as
sertion Of Or. Eliot that the new religion
will not be founded on constituted au-
thority. This. he said, Is a worse than
foolish statement, as everything that Is
destined to endure must have Its founda-
ton on some sort OF authority.
Charges Sacrilege.
He also held up TO rldicule DR.. Ellots
assertion that the new religion VIII have
nothing to do with SORROW. and death.
but will deal only with Joy and life. This.
rilege, beng palpably misleading and cal
culated only TO catch the eye OF the Un-
wary. for true religion has everything to
do with sorrow and death; to tighten the
pangs OF the former and TO eliminate the
fear Of the latter. Any religious belief
he said. that is founded only on joy and
life to the exclusion OF sterner things
must be utterly selfish and is not Crthy
OF the consideration OF any thinking man.
Dr. SpOOner concluded by calling at
tentiOn TO a further claim made by DR.
Eliot for the new religion: that Il will
not be founded on anything resembling
the supernatural. but will take its in
splration from the workings of nature
In answer TO this he said that a careful
analysis OF the Christian religion reveals
nothing that can be classed with what is
known as the supernatural. for the reason
that as God Is nature, no act OF God can
be construed as otneT than' natural

great faith In the prOwess OF a specially
