Young Indians for Social
Betterment.

A new association of young Indian lead
first meeting, held in Columbus, Ohio, so
impressed that city that it is urging its
second annual meeting to be held there.
But Colorado Springs and Washington
are also trying to attract these young In
dians to come to them. Among the lead
ers in this new movement are DR.. Charles
Eastman, of Amherst; Henry Roe Cloud,
the only Indian who has graduated from
Yale and now a student at Auburn Semi
nary; the Rev. Sherman Coolidge, an
Arapahoe, who is an Episcopal mission
ary, and Arthur c. Parker the Indian
archaeologist of the State of New York.
This new association is in its prelimi-
nary stage. Its constitution has not yet
been drawn up, and will not be adopted
until next summer, but the association s
aim is the civic and social betterment Of
the Indian people. Indians are not de-
creasing in numbers, but increasing, and
many reckon it probable that there are
now more Indians in the United States
by actual count than there were when
Columbus made his discovery or Amer
lean independence achieved.
Christian men, some ministers and some
not, are behind this new Indian move
ment, but they announce their purpose
to be educational, especially industrial
education, as the means to advance In
dian conditions, and not simply religious
effort. Christian leaders not Indians say
that a brighter lot of young men than
those leading in this new Indian uplift
movement they have never seen.

New Y. W. C. A. National
National Headquarters.

The national council of the Young
Women's Christian Association will break
ground this week for the new building
in New York. This is to cost nearly
S5O0,OOo with ground costing 100000 more.
The location Of the new national head
quarters is Lexington avenue, closely ad-
joining the structures that are rising
above the New York Central Railroad
station. There will be twelve stories, far
surprising in size and convenience the
Young Mems Christian Association head
quarters. A part is to be used for the
training school for secretaries.
The site was the gift Of an unnamed
donor. New York is erecting the building
and associations throughout the country
are to furnish it. There are now 800
assocations-200 in cities, the remainder
in colleges, Industrial concerns, and in
the mill centers of the South. 1t is ex-
pected that the new headquarters will be
ready in one year.
United States Senator Clark, of Wyom-
ing, now resident in New York, has given
to Los Angeles a building that is to cost
$4,000 1t Is in memory Of his mother,
who was a life member Of the Los An
geles association and the oldest on the
list at the time Of her death. The Los
Angeles association has the largest men,
bership-about 2,20O-of any single one in
the country.

NEWS OF THE CHURCHES
OF GREATER WASHINGTON

Within the past ten years the number
Of clubs for women, with expensive club
houses, that have come into existence
in the principal cities of England, in
cluding London, is one of the features
Of women's work in that country. A few
OF them are on religious lines. but far
more are on social Methodists of Eng
land are erecting on the site of the old
aquarium, facing Westminster Abbey, a
headquarters for world Methodism.
In this great building, which is to be
known as Central Hall, after the name
commonly employed in England. there
is to be a Methodist women's club
While in a Methodist house, and con-
Quoted by Methodist women, II will not
be in any sense a religious club On the
contrary, 1t is to be an up-to-date club
of the usual English types, provided
with every possible convenience found
in clubhouses for men. The money for
the enterprise is provided. and the club
will be opened, with the rest Of the
building, in about one year.
American women. and especially Amer
ican Methodist women, visiting England
are to be welcomed at this club. The
rates are to be moderate, considering
the exceptional facilities. The aim is TO
make a headquarters for the Christian
women of the world, and yet exclude
from it religion and its propaganda in
terests. The cost of the entire Meth
odist headquarters, including the wom-
ems club quarters, is $500, 00o
Methodist women, home and foreign
boards, have just closed their fiscal year
far ahead of anything they ever achiev-
ed before. Part of the advance is held
to be due to the Women's Jubilee Cam
paign, in which MethodIsts took a lead

Federal Department Takes Action.

The work of the Chicago vice COM
mission, which has, perhaps, been more
systematic and thorough than that OF any
similar commission ever organized, has
led to the decision by the officers OF the
Federal Department OF Justice to make
thorough investigation of the so-called
white slave trade" 1t is announced that
the first step in this investigation, which
is to be inaugurated with the avowed
intention OF stamping out the evil, will
be the taking of a census of Chicago's
underworld by agents assigned to the en-
forcement Of the Mann law.
According to reports received in WASH
ington, the traffic in immoral women in
Chicago is very extensive, but is conduct
ed on underground railway methods.
1t is alleged that white slaves are be-
ing bought and sold and transported from
one State to another by means of which
as yet the government has not been
able to detect.
The Federal authorities have power to
act 'only when the Illicit Commerce
crosses State lines. according to the pro-
visions of the Mann law. II is under
stood that either after the Chicago in
vestigation or contemporaneous with II
similar probes will be conducted in st.
Louis, Pittsburg, New York, and a num-
Der Of other cities where 1t is believed
the white slave trade is strongly en-
trenched. The agents will endeavor to
establish the identity of the owners and
inmates of all immoral resorts, and will
attempt to learn the circumStances under
which each woman entered her present
employment. Prosecutions will follow
DRny evidence of violation Of the Mann
law.
The Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and
Wisconsin local associations OF the Young
Women's Christian Association are to be
combined into the eleventh territorial d.
vision of the United States, which divi-
sion will hereafter be under the super
vision Of the national board. The step
marks the abandonment OF all State
boards, and forms the combined national
association into one compact organiza-
tion. Last week the final meeting of the
Illinois associations. as a State conven-
ton, was held in Peoria, more than 500
delegates being in attendance.

One Week of Prayer.

Four weeks of prayer are now recon-
mended by different religious organiza-
tions; so many that attempts are max
ing to reduce them by half, il not to
one week. For thirty years the Young
Mems Christian Association has had a
week in November. Its week this year
interested in missionary work have
recommended the first week in Advent.
the exact dates this year being Decem-
ber to 10.
For a long time the Evangelical Alli-
ance, an English project now without
representation in the United States, rec
ommend and many observed the first
week in the new year. The alliance still
sends to this country and secures the
publication of a series of prayer topics
for each day of the first seven in Janu-
ary. One church in New York observes
the week, but beyond that it cannot be
learned that the date is kept. The
brotherhoods, now found in most bodies
urge Holy Week, or the last week in
Lent, and they are beginning to make
some headway in inducing Christian peo-
pie to observe it.
The new effort toward unity has Joined
in recommending the first week in Ad-
vent. 1t is pointed out that II is the
beginning of the Christian year, and
that it is quite near both the Y. NJ. c. A.
and the alliance dates. Upon the
brotherhoods the matter is urged that
Holy Week already has its regular serv-
ices in most churches, and that their
week of prayer on that date is lost in
Lenten meetings. Missionary laymen
have just issued an appeal to Christian
men in favor of the dates this year.
December to 10.

New Industrial Institute for
Porto Rico.

Sugar trust men Of the United States
are contributing funds to an industrial
institute that has just been founded in
Porto Rico. They are doing so through
missionary societies. They realize, they
say, that Porto Ricans must be trained
if they are to succeed in work for them.
Their action is the same as that Of rail-
road companies, which contribute to Y.
NJ. c. A. causes.
The new Porto Rico Polytechnic Insti-
tute is to be located at San German, in
the extreme western end of the island.
and has as its head the Rev. J. Henry
Wills. supported at present by the Pres
byterian Board Of Home Missions. A
considerable offer of sugar plantation
land has been made and 1t is planned
to have students of the institute work
the sugar lands and so learn how to
work them we'll. An aim to dignity
labor. Many Porto Ricans think it not
TO be dignihed.
The institute as starting with a budget
of S25,On0 a year, and efforts are to be
made to establish a foundation that will
cost $500, 900. Presbyterians in the United
States have assisted in the budget; but
so have the sugar people.

KAIOER'S VISITS
IRRITATE SWISS
His Reviews of Troops No
Longer Desired.

Berlin, Nov T1.-Not content with con-
tinuaIly reviewing his own Soldiers the
Kaiser is now determined to invite him
self as a guest at the autumn maneuvers
of Germany's neighboring countries.
There is little doubt that nothing would
afford him greater satisfaction than to
witness the great maneuvers Of France,
but this being, OF course, an utter i'm
possibility, he has had to be content with
attending the Austrian and Swiss maneu-
vers.
While the Kaiser's presence is not re-
sented in Austria, the Swiss people are
anything but pleased at the prospect of
having their citizen soldiers play war to
please the Kaiser, who will probably have
plenty of fault to find with everything
about them except their wonderful marks
manship. The press and people are ex-
ceedingly outspoken in their opinions Of
the self-invited guest. and it is generally
hoped that some way may be found 10
make the Kaiser give up his idea with
out hurting his feelings too much.
The Kaiser Is also said to have ap-
same subject, and to have received a
very blunt hint that the honor of his
company would not be duly appreciated
by the Belgian people. To get even, prob
ably, the Kaiser used the first oppor-
tunity, when giving an audience at
Aachen to a special Belgian mission, TO
let the world know that he thinks the
fortifications on which Belgium has spent
millions of dollars are absolutely useless
and would not delay the invasion Of the
country by strong enemy twenty hours.

Still Fighting White Plague.

The churches Of Washington have
shown their interest in the campaign
against tuberculosis in previous years by
the observance of tuberculosis Sunday.
Their members are especially invited to
hear discussion on the municipal con-
troll of the disease, at the annual meet
ing of the Association for the Prevention
of tuberculosis, to be held in the assem-
bly, hall of the Public Library Mount
Vernon square. Monday evening, No
vember 13, at s o'clock. The society Is
fortunate In having as speakers two men
well known in public health circles, Dr.
John S. Fulton, secretary Of the Inter-
national Congress on Hylrene and DEM
ography, and Mr.. Alexander NJ. Wilson,
director OF the Henry Phipps Institute
OF Philadelphia. These men have made
a study of the economic and social ef-
fects OF the disease. and It's cost to the
community, as well as the individual

TREND Or ORIENT
SHOWN In REVOLT,
Revolution of Vast
Importance.

Pekin, Nov. 1o-The Chinese rebellion,
whether 1t brings the Manchu dynasty
Gathering to the ground or whether it Is
suppressed after months and perhaps
years of carnage, is an event Of greater
sort of war" which has broken out
between Italy and Turkey. For the re-
bellion has its seat in the most progress
sive and the most industrialized province
in China; it is supported by a consider
able section of the new army; its leaders
are men Of education, intelligence, and
capacity; it is the outcome of a deep
seated and not irrational unrest, and its
initial successes have been Of a charac-
ter and on a scale to make the task OF
defeating 1t extremely difficult. This, in
short. is not a case of old China turn
ing around and groaning in her sleep:
II is a case of young China, alert and
resolute, beating vehemently against the
bars.
And this young China, with which
Europe will one day have to reckon in
earnest, is the product Of three episodes
the significance of which has still to be
grs sped by the Occident The first was
the Boxer outbreak and the harsh and
humiliating penalties exacted from the
Chinese government and people by way
of reparation and revenge. That sudden
and amazing convulsion had two results.
In the first place, it taught China that
Western aggression could only be re-
sisted by Western methods, and that
Western methods could only be acquired
by the adoption of Western learning.
In the second place, II did more even
than the war of 1895 to cure the Chinese
of their contempt for Japan, to make
them realize Japans efficiency and the
force of her example. and to lead them
to an understanding Of the many and
essential bonds that link together the
two leading nations Of the East.

NEW OPERA OPENS
FOR HAMMERSTBIN
Success of His London En-
terprise Doubtful.

London, Nov. lion Monday Oscar
Hammerstein opens his palatial new
opera house in Kingsway, near the
Strand, easily the most magnificent the
atricaI building in England. Mr.. Ham
merstein feels quite sure of the success
Of his enterprise and would undoubtedly
be justified If Londoners possessed any
real love of music His repertory is an
excellent one. his orchestra splendid, and
his prices very much smaller than those
paid at Covent Garden, but he has no
big stars to offer and those who know
the people Of London think this fact
will be fatal to the enterprise.
In all the world it would be harS to
find people who appreciate music and
especially good music less than the peo-
pie of London. That they have never
learned to like Wagner and that three
fourths OF the people who attend the
performances Of the Ring at Covent
Garden are Germans and Scandinavians,
do not count against them for, after
all, Wagner will never be popular with
the masses Of any country. Londoners,
however, refuse to listen to any music
less catchy and easily understood than
that Of the Merry Widow or the Count
of Nuremberg
They will crowd the theaters where
the most abominabIe musical comedies
are played in runs of hundreds of nights
in succession and they will pay high
prices at Covent Garden, so they can
say that they have heard Caruso, Sam
marco, Melba, or Tetrazzini, but they
will most assuredly stay away from an
opera house that has no great stars on
its programme.
II Mr.. Hammerstein, therefore, should
make his new opera house a paying VEN
ture, he will have to rely upon the for
eigners in London, the real music-loving
people Of Italy, France, Germany, and
Scandinavia, but most of these cannot
afford TO pay even the prices of Mr.
opera house, often enough
to keep 1t filed.

LONDON DENUDED
OF ITS ROYALTY
King and Queen Leave for
India.

London. Nov. 1o.-London will soon be
almost denuded of royalty, and as a
result nearly all the most aristocratic
town mansions are closed. The King
and Queen leave for India tomorrow.
Prince Alexander of Teck is at Bankok,
and in week or two Princess Patricia
will go to Canada to celebrate Christ
mas with her parents at RIdeau Hall.
Princess Henry of Battenberg is going
to Madrid, in order to give a series of
well-earned curtain lessons to her lively
son-in-law. King Alphonso, with whom
she will stay until after New Year.
Princess Louise will probably go to the
Mediterranean in few days, as will
also the princess royal.
Royal Christmas in England will thus
be a very quiet affair this year. Queen
Alexandra being alone with her grand
children, with the exception Of the Prince
Of Wales, who will spend his Christmas
at sea-
There have been various rumors to the
effect that Queen Alexandra is to be
consulted by the court officials upon
various points in order to reduce the
Kings labors while in India These are
all without any foundation. The Dow
ager Queen will simply look after the
royal children, and will, of course, keep
in constant touch with public events in
order to display her personal sympathy
and interest, as occasions may arise. But
she will have no regents duties what
ever, and 1t is equally incorrect to say
that the Prince o. Vales will be brought
home from the Rindustan in order to
be available, as a sort of fgurehead, to
confirm the procedure of the government.
With the exception of the short week
occupied in crossing the Indian Ocean,
the King will be IN daily. not to say
hourly, touch with the fountain of power
at home.
