PARSON CAN GET MAYOR
IF HE GOES AFTER HIM
REV. Mr.. TlLRoE.
Preacher Says Pastor Gains
Nothing if Laymen Allowed
to Know More Than He
REV. Mr.. TlLRoE.

"A preacher gets just what he goes
after If he keeps going persistently
after the mayor, for instance, he will
get him." said Rev. w. L. Tilroe pas
tor of the Boyle Heights Methodist
church in an address on "The Preach
ers' Ideals" yesterday at the Metho-
dist ministers meeting in the First
Methodist church.
THE pulpit should be higher than
the platform and pews," said DR.. TIL
roe. "A parson accomplishes nothing
when he allows u dozen men in ms
congregation to show that they know
more than he does
"The short story Is the latest climax
in literature. Novelists have guam
tity on the brain. Copy for the print
er Is the eclipse OF fame and, ] was
about to say, the epitaph of worth.
1.-THE historian of the age is the re-
porter. A good reporter is lost when
he becomes a preacher
EVIL rarely dies anywhere because
it is vile, but because it doesn't pay.
mo, the preacher hardly will find
his ideals in this age. We must gather
them from the eternal quiet where God
dwells.
IF man is not ahead of his job he
will not accomplish much. 1t is the
same way with the preacher.
simply to be up to date is for a
minister to be behind his glory to sit
at the outer door when the right hand
of the king is awaiting.
1.-The preacher should preach an ap-
propriate sermon for the occasion. 1t
should not be like the baseball objec-
ton, sprung in the dead of winter In
the east.
"A preacher should not preach in q
cold, placid manner. His topic should
burn within him to be forcefully eX-
pressed.
'If the congregation has a halter
lying around loose. don't let the par
son get hanged with it.
I'VE don't hear many genuinely doc
trinal sermons these days; they are
mixed up with something else. l think
that rhetoric, the way it is used and
abused, is a half-brother to falsehood.
THE laymen are doing great
work. / think we might have them
for presiding elders after a while"

THOUSAND GIRLS WILL
MARCH WITH LANTERNS

The program for the big garden fiesta
Christian association at the Hunting
ton hall grounds May 20 is being plan
ned on a large scale. Not only will
every department of the association
work be presented in various ways,
but various schools and colleges of
the city will assist both in the after
noon and evening in furnishing inter
esting features.
The tennis tournament in the after
noon will be participated in by Los
Angeles high school, Occidental acad-
emy, Polytechnic high school and the
Young Women's Christian association.
In the folk dances Cumnock school,
Occidental college and Olive street high
school will take part. May pole dances,
plays by various classes and clubs,
fortune tellers and band, choral and
orchestral music will furnish entertain
ment in all parts of the ground for
both afternoon and evening.
The main feature of the evening en-
tertainment will be the grand lantern
march,, in which 1000 association girls
are expected to take part. At meet
ing of the leaders of the march last
evening it was decided to enlist ac-
cording to companies, each leader act
ing as lieutenant of her company ana
trying to make it as large as possible.
The fifty lieutenants thus working un-
der the direction of Mrs. w. j. Chi
chester promises a very large and ef-
fective lantern parade.
Mrs. f. j. Marshall, who is acting
chairman of the general committee on
the fiesta, has a large number of In
terested and efficient helpers who are
carrying out the plans for their va
rious sub committees with readiness.
Among those who are most active as
committee chairn1en are Miss Rose
Smith, Mrs. Giles Kellogg, Miss Grace
Barnes, Miss Sue Barnwell Mrs. w.
H. Smith, Mrs. Carey Marble. Miss
Edith Hopkins, Mrs, Leonard Merrill,
Mrs. Homer Laughlin.
The fiesta will be the closing event
of the educational year Of the associa-
ton. The usual exhibits in sewing,
cooking, millinery and art will be at
the building on May II and is, but
this new outdoor feature will offer a
unique and interesting substitute for
the evening recitals, and it is hoped
that the public will find through 1t a
pleasing acquaintance with the asso-
citation and its work.

George V Proclaimed as Great
Crowds View Ancient Ceremony
CONTINUED from Page one,

London to this day retaining its an
cient privilege of barring the entrance
of the kings men to the square mile
in which its officers rule.
In place of the barred gates of olden
times, a red silken robe placed across
the street halted the procession. Com
ing to a standstill the trumpeters
sounded three loud blasts announcing
the approach of the officers of arms.
The city marshal, riding forward, chal-
lenged the approach of the procession
with the cry, Halt! Who goes there?"
The reply, "The officer of arms, who
demands entrance to the city to pro-
claim his royal majesty's accession,
came from the pursuiyant.
The lord mayor having been informed
of the presence of the royal herald, and
having given his permission for en-
trance to the city, Rouge Dragon
The words were caught up by the
crowd and swelled to a mighty chorus
that filled the Strand and Fleet street.
The ceremony was repeated at Chan
cers lane.
Thence the lord mayor with his mai
estys heralds moved through streets
lined with double files of troops, the
Norfolk and Leicester regiments, the
kings own Yorkshires, the Scots guard,
the Cameronians and Irish fusileers,
toward the center of the city.
When the heralds had taken their
station on the steps of the royal ex-
change, and silence had ben obtained,
the proclamation was read to the null
titude, from which rose cries Of God
save the king!"
The bands played the national an
them once more.
The heralds then proceeded to the
mansion house, where they were enter
tanned by the lord mayor, who, accord
ing to ancient custom, first officially
proposed the health of the new king.

DAMIETTA BELLS OF ST. BAVo.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: When 7 was in Haarlem, Holland
in 1906. my attention was called to the ring
ing of the historic "Damietta bells in the
tower of the ancient Church of St Bavo
At that time and since then have made
efforts to learn the history OF these bells
which are rung every evening with scrupu-
lous. regularity, but have been unsuccessful
until recently. AS it is possible that others
may be interested in the subject, venture
to communicate the following;
In the years PITS, during the Crusades,
William I. Duke of Holland, undertook a
crusade with an army composed in large
part of men from Harlem (HcIland) and
Dakkum CFrisia}. Among the places TO
which he laid siege was Damietta, which
was situated on the right bank Of the Nile
River a few miles from the Mediterranean,
a little to the south of the present DaTni-
eta The ancient town was strongly forth
fed by the Saracens and formed on that
side the bulwark Of Egypt against the
Crusaders After a siege of eighteen
months the duke captured the place.
As souvenirs of this achievement the
NetherIanders took back TO Holland little
bells from Damietta, and when the now
famous Church of ST. Bavo in HARLEM
was built. in the fifteenth century, these
bells were hung in the tower. Every even
ing, from to $50 o'clock. the Damietta
bells ring out their reminder Of the victory
OF the Netherlanders over the infidels at
Damietta nearly seven hundred years ago.

FOREIGNERS IN OR FICTION.


The absurd caricatures which the
British novelist has long foisted and
continues to foist upon his untrhvelied
home readers as American characters
is the theme Of a current essayist. The
same conclusions might be reached from
an examination of current French and
German fiction. but there is another side
to the question, which is the treatment
of the foreigner in American novels.
The foreigners complaint against the
American novelist, If he chose to make
it. would he one Of neglect and levity,
rather than Of Misrepresentation. either
through ignorance or malice. He has
never played an important part in the
plots Of our stories or on our stage
The English fortune hunter had brief
vogue, which practically closed with
the end Of the SOS of the last cen
fury. The tradition Of British fiction,
that a foreign villain is welcome to
British readers. does not avail with US,
who frankly and sensibly make our bad
men as well as our heroes natives of the
soil 1t was thus in the days Of the
tales of the Wild West. Even when
variety Of villany was needed, we pre-
ferred other Americans the Aborigine
or the Mexican. to the foreigner It is
so to-day with our stories of political
corruption and frenZied finance. Our
novelists are honest with us and with
themselves; they dare TO be realists in
this respect at least.
The place assigned to the foreigner in
our fiction is. roughly speaking that
which he occupies in our social and eco
nomic life As an ancestor long dead
the longer the better-he is still in Use as
q guarantee Of the distinguished descent
Of American characters in novels. But
as a contemporary element-an imnll-
gIant-he receives no more Importance
there than he usually wins in our life
He appeals. indeed. in the case Of the
average. untraveIled American. chiefly to
the native sense Of humor. and here we
find his place in our fiction and on our
stage. He supplies the comic relief,
whether as the English tenderfOOt. the
British butler. the ingenious German in
many minor places. the Irishman with
his bewilderinc logic. the French chef,
or the Chinese camp cook. We use him
for this lighter purpose without malice,
as we think We know him. which is. per-
hans. after all. no more as he really is
than the American of European fiction
is as we know him 10 be. HOn0rs are

all considerations but those Of the pur-
suit of justice.
Nor should such regard for integrity
impair the practical efficiency of the
force On the contrary, we should say
that its efficiency was likely to be in
creased by some of the innovations
which are announced. Certainly the
selection OF body Of men solely be-
cause Of their qualifications for detec-
tive work gives promise of better re
suits than the old scheme of assigning
10 such duty any uniformed policemen
who had the necessary pull or who
were willing 10 pay for the promotion.
It seems also en1inentiy practical TO have
the identity OF such men at all times

Sir: l desire to congratulate you upon
the weather map published each morning IN

valuable feature of your paper
For long time have been a student o.
the weather map, and have interested many
others IN It's study. People have made use
OF the map wherever they could have access
to copy daily, but until recently only the
favored few could obtain it, and 1t has
sometimes seemed that the classification
was made along doubtful lines. We now
rejoice that you have brought this valu-
able government service within the reach OF
the masses who have so long borne the ex-
pense of the same.
Many people have expressed to me their
appreciation Of this service rendered oy
you. There has however, been some Critl-
cism. in that the highest and lowest tenn

other figures that were formerly published
by the Weather Bureau do not appear IN

G4S POWER FOR SHIPS.

CHEERS in this city reference was made
10 modest trials Of the internal combus-
