Milwaukee Presbyterians Want to
Know Who Writes Preachers
Themes-candldates Still
Await to Be "calIed.n

Milwaukee, Wis.-Who runs the
sermon syndicate?
That is the question the people of
Calvary Presbyterian church, the most
important church of that denomination
in the city, are asking themselves and
their acquaintances these days.
Could it possibly be a mere ac-
cidental coincidence that two preach
ers, each a candidate for the position
OF pastor of Calvary church, studied
out the same sermon in exactly the
same way and with identical phras-
ing?
At an interval of two weeks that
congregation listened to the same SER
mon from two different men.
Calvary church wants a new minis
ter. 1t has been wanting a minister for
several weeks, and prospective can
didates are being heard on each c
cessive Sunday.
First Parson Makes Hit.
The preacher who made the best i'm
preston with the congregation is
from Chicago. He occupied the pulpit
Sunday, October 9. He was brought
here at the suggestion Of a pillar in
the church. The congregation unan-
imously ratified his judgment and ac-
claimed the Chicago man a great
preacher.
tentative plans were being made to
have a call extended to him. Then it
was suggested that there would be
no harm in hearing a few more
preachers. Presbyterians are not dis
tinctive for jumping at conclusions.
Rather they are inclined to be
clannish and cautious. So it was
agreed to hear a few more preachers
before a successor to the Reverend W.
q. Graham be selected.
Last Sunday a pastor from
Mendoza, ILL.,, occupied the pulpit. He
also preached a good sermon, but It
was the same sermon preached two
weeks earlier by the Chicago parson.
AS soon as the congregation heard
the announcement of the theme. "The
Church Glorious" there was a coin
cident Strengthening of backs, the
pricking Of ears. Then the preacher
delved into the sermon, little guess
ing that it's phrases were all fresh in
the minds of his hearers.

His Politics al Home

A political canvasser called at a
home the other day and inquired as
to the political affiliations of the man
of the house.
"Oh, WELL" said the housewife,
hes everything. He's nice when he's
away, and he's not SO nice at other
times
But about politics." said the IAN.
vasser. rs he a Democrat or a Re-
publican?"
We'll, 1t depends on who he is
with" said the lady. IF it's policy
to be a Democrat when he's with Dem.
ocrats, he's a Democrat, and when
he's with Republicans he's a Repub.
lican."

vasser, but between ourselves, what
is he at homer"
"oh, at home he's a perfect terror"

2. The entire route of the lakes-to.
the-gulf deep waterway from Joliet to
New Orleans, through the Des PLANES
river, the Illinois river and the Mis-.
sissippi river, has been surveyed In.
der direction of congress by United
States engineers, who have officially
reported to congress that the building
Of the deep waterway is feasible.
3. The people of the state of Hi.
nois have adopted a constitutional

sue of $4,000, 900, the money to be

way southwark from Joliet.
4. A bill introduced by United States

United States government of bonds to
the amount of $500, 900, 900, the money
to be spent in constructing this deep
waterway from the lakes to the gulf
and other meritorious projected river
improvements.
5. 1t is intended to ask the Sixty.

GREECE TAXES ARSENAL
EIGHT REBEL LEADERS IN SOIL
TARY CONFINEMENT.
Kings Ironelads Guard Straits Against
Second Attack by Com
mander Tipaldos.

Athens, Greece.-The mutiny in the
navy is at an end. Teh government
took formal possession of the arsenal,
the leaders surrendering. The eight
r~ingleaders. have been ordered into
solitary confinement and will be court
martialed.
The government forces are in COM
plete control everywhere, and it is Of
ficially announced that the revolution
has been crushed.
Loyal IroncIads Guard Straits.
The loyal ironclads of the Greek
feet Saturday are guarding the straits
of Salamis against another attack by
the torpedo fiotilla under Commander
Tipaldos, which, after being driven
from the straits, is believed to be pre-
pairing for another attack.
It has been officially reported con-
corning the movements of the fotilla,
but rumors are thick. One reports the
rebels en- route to Brindisi, Italy, for
refuge. Another has the flotilla bound
for Crete with the intention of Selling
the island.
The government expects the torpedo
fotilla to surrender soon Despite the
loyalty Of the main portion of the navy
in Fridays engagement, it is still
feared that the sailors may join III
paldos in view of the navy's extreme
jealousy Of the army's predominance.
Government Affairs Chaotic.
Government affairs are chaotic. It
is generally believed the Military
League, which practically has been In
full power for months, will now be
forced to proclaim a military dictator
ship to counterfeit the loss Of prestige
which has resulted from its failure to-
maintain order. Former Premier Shall
lys, commenting on the situation,
said:
"The condition Of Greece is most
~precarious. The leaders of the Mill
tary League might have entered the
cabinet some time ago and combined
the power which they have held any
way with the responsibility of the po-
sition. They will undoubtedly be
forced to do this finally"
