THE WAR CLOUD IS
Still ON THE HORIZON.
TheMoroccan Affair Continues Hope
lessly dlocked---Anxiety in
Europe.

Paris, Aug. 22.-The admission by
both the war Office and the Navy De-
partment that the annual maneuvers
have been abandoned, so far as the
original elaborate programme is con-
cerned, had most depressing effect
today. Its generally conceded that it
means that the negotiations with Ger
many regarding the Moroccan situation
continue in an almost hopeless dead
lock. Frequent conferences between
the premier and the foreign am
bassadors, and between the premier
and heads OF the War and Navy Depart
ments have renewed the apprehension
OF month ago, as it is feared that Ger
many has raised impossible demands
for territorial concessions in Africa.
Meanwhile the conferences between
Ambassador Cambon at Berlin and the
German foreign Offices continue and
neither here nor at the German capital
are any statements obtainable as to
what progress has been made.

CONGRESS ADJOURNs
THIS AF FTERNOON.
Extraordinary Session Terminates
with Usual Picturesque Ac-
compartments.

Washington, Aug. 22.-The nine
millionth word was spoken in Congress
today, and with that record achieved
since March Is, the Legislators shut up
the Law manufacturing shop.
The extraordinary session was ter
minated this afternoon to picturesque
accompaniment of noisy jubilation in
the House and staid, stolid routine in
the Senate In the House the demo
Gratis were frankly pleased with tl1ln-
selves, and in the less demonstrative
upper house, senators did not conceal
their relief at being able to suspend
legislative labors.
Every train that lef, Washington to-
day carried legislators homewa,d
bound. The exodus began several days
ago, and there was hardly corporal's
guard in either House today to witness
the actual adjournment.
Cabinet members and other govern
ment officials expect to make Il qnick
getaway from heated Washington.
within the next few days Presiden:
Taft hopes to leave this eTeniog. and
by next week, only Secretary nf the
Treasury -MseVesgh will bs lait He

RihIe snIen in Korea.

Korea presents. as is generally agreed,
the greatest example of rapid change
from non-Christian to Christian condi-
tions that has taken place in the history
of Christian missions Since the political
occupation and control by japan the
number of Japanese residents has rapidly
increased and novel feature Of the new
situation is religious work and Bible coll
portage by Koreans among japanese i'm
migrants The American Bibly Society
agency in Korea is now an Independent
one, and its first years report as such
shows sales of the Scriptures in Korea
last year OF 116, 1872 volumes, an increase
of 66 per cent over the previous year.
New bookstores are being established,
and colporters are sent into the frontier
regions Recently an edition of the New
Testament was issued for Korea, giving
Korean and Chinese texts together. Now
the Old Testament has just appeared, and
is sold at 80 cents per copy. Efforts are
making to sell 10000 copies within the
yea-. Conditions of Korean women are
changing rapidly for the better, owing to
teachings OF the Gospel, and women are
engaged, as in other Far East countries,

mothers, young women, and families.
Bible women, as they are called, are
doing much to change the Korean family
life and improve the outlook Of Korean

World Alliance, to induce him to resign
his New York pastorate and take Up the
active work of the alliance. Formed in
1906, and only now reaching a stage Of
world power, it has never had a president
who did more than to serve, leaving most
of its work to its secretary and founder,
the Rev. ]. H. Shakespeare, who is also
secretary of the Baptist Missionary
Society Of London. There is to be neld
in Stockholm in 1873 q conference Of
European Baptists and the president OF
the alliance is asked to preside. Baptists
are growing In every European country
save Portugal, and into It they aim to
go at the earliest possible moment Mr.
Shakespeare states that Russians make
a peculiar call upon Baptists because they.
are immersionists. Unlike the Roman
Catholic Church and the Church of Eng
land, the Russian Orthodox Church has
never accepted sprinkling as scriptural
baptism. A secondary reason, he says.
is the Independence of the Individual and
the congregation, contrasting with the
autocracy of the state church. The Rev.
DR.. Macarthur says he will not resign
his pastorate until fall. at any rate, but
then he will consider his line OF action.
He admits very real interest in the vast
field which the alliance presents. The

THE TREND OF THINGS

Mr.. Roosevelt pays very glowing COM
pliment to the salvation Army and incl
dentauy to Mr.. Rider Haggerd. the nov
elist in last weeks Outlook. He declares
that there are few men now writing
English whose books on sociological ques-
tions are Of such value as Mr. Haggard's,
and hardly one Of this small number who
has grasped as he has grasped the dam
gers which beset the future Of the English
speaking people, and the way these dam
gers can best be met. He points out the
drift OF country people toward the city
and the unhealthy development of city at
the expense of country life which has laid
basis for Mr.. Haggards keen sympathy
for the Salvation Army's efforts to aid
in bringing the people back to the land.
es shown In his recent book entitled
Regeneration"
Concluding his review of Mr.. Haggard's s
recent work Mr.. Roosevelt said:
The Salvation Army has done social
work In England in many different lines,
and It has met the well-nigh Infinitely
varied needs of those among whom 1t
has worked with an equally varied re-
sourcefulness and a singular combination
OF ZSd4 anu 0u5uI "OHlcus anu
children are all alike cared for. The ma
ternity receiving homes are among those
which meet especially desperate needs in
spirit that is really Christian, that Is
really following the teachings of the
Founder Of Christianity. Yet, great
though the good is that is done by these
homes, great the achievement they repre-
sent in the rescue of poor creatures not
really vicious. but far more often victims
of vice, all this is equaled by the work
done In many other ways. One very in
teresting feature brought out by Mr..
Haggard, incidentally, is that in a sense
which is more literal than figurative, the
work of regeneration often means such
a complete change in a mans nature
as is equivalent to the casting out Of
devils. Few people who read his book
can fail to be almost as much impressed
as Mr.. Haggard acknowledges himself to
have been by what he witnessed of this
kind. Mr.. Haggard's accounts of the
land and Industrial colonies, small-holding
settlements, and similar works give an
almost startling inside view of the ex-
traordinary combination of lofty disin-
rerestedness, intense zeal and under
standing, and first-rate business ability,
which have enabled Gen. Booth and those
associated with him to accomplish so
much in directing what otherwise would
be the waste forces of benevolence to
national ends"
