NO SCHOLARS TO-DAY
LIKE THOSE OF OLD
Brown University Professor Says Men
Who Translated Bible 500 Years
Ago Cannot Be EquaIed.

Boston, April 24.-That the men who
translated the King James bible 300
years ago knew how to use the
English language better than any
scholars that could be gathered to-
gether in the whole world today, is
the opinion of Prof. VIM. H. P. Faunce,
of Brown university. Speaking at the
bible tercentenary meeting in Trinity
church last night DR.. Faunce said:
"Men knew how to use language
then as we know how to use edged
tools today We can't equal them, We
know too much to be simple. We have
too many doubts to be SO sure; we are
too conscious of the verdicts of critics
to aim straight at the hearts of the
people.
"Since 1911 no man in England or
America has written in such direct or
simple style as these bible translators.

WILL SHOW BLIND
MEN ALL THE SIGHTS
Volunteers Asked to Aid In Entertain
Ing sightless Visitors at New
York Meeting.

New York, April PA call for vol
unteers to guide 300 blind men on
"sight seeing" tours around New York
City this week has been sent out by
the hospital committee on blind
workers exhibition, which President
Taft will open at the Metropolitan
opera house on Wednesday evening.
Paid guides have been arranged to
accompany the blind workers to and
from the hotels and the exhibition at
the opera house, but volunteers are
wanted to go about with the visitors
on tours Of the city, explaining to
them the sights they are denied see
ing. Through the city's roar and
clamor, and through other things
which appeal to the sense Of hearing,
smell or touch, it is believed the sight
less will get as comprehensive an idea
OF New York as many who visit the
city with their eyes open. Many auto
mobile owners have placed their cars
at the disposal Of the convention so
that the visitors may be taken about
with comfort.
Henry Baum, blind upholsterer
has made huge chair as seat OF
honor for the president at the exhibi-
tion. The work Of the blind In more
than forty distinct industries will be
shown.

MILLION GERMANS
IN ARMY MANEUVERS
Regular Army Strength Of $4,000
Will be Augmented by Over
100000 Reserves.

Berlin, April .24.-Germany will have
under arms in connection with the field
maneuvers this summer, practically
one million men. In addition to the
regular army strength of $4,000 men,
over 335,000 reserves will be called to
the colors. making total effective
strength for the army Of 977,698. Ad-
ding to these the men serving with the
fleet, an armed force Of considerably
more than million will be engaged IN
the gigantic war game.
The new firing regulations for the
field artillery just published, contain IN
addition to former directions for fire
against captive balloons, a new set OF
instructions governing the use Of artil-
lery against dirigibles and aeroplaries.
It is admitted, however, that artillery
fire against aeroplanes offers slight
chances of success without enormous
use of ammunition.

cago, announced as the speaker was
unable to come. The speeches made
by union leaders were taken down in
shorthand by a representative of the
military authorities. Soldiers were
present on the grounds. The arrival
today Of the Sibley tents and cook

of the state authorities to keep the

ther disorder is past The troops will
camp at Reservoir park.

the city at daybreak yesterday morn
ing on special train, and company 9

the troops late last night.
Disorders of the worst sort were
feared at the picnic in the afternoon
and large numbers of soldiers were
scattered throughout the crowd. Fiery
speeches from Emmett Flood and Miss
Finnigan we're also anticipated, but
Major Balls action in sending out
stenoghaphers checked any possible
danger along this line.

"The charge that dynamite was kept
by McNamara in the headquarters OF
his organization is silly. 1t is easy to

FACING OUR LIVES.

Standing face to face with our lives
is. perhaps, the surest and at the same
time the severest Of all discipline says
the Charleston News and Courier. An
earnest realization Of our shortcomings
is likely To galvanizc our natures into
some appreciation Of the duty we owe
ourselves. but such an appreciation al
ways brings with il a certain self-de-
probation and its accompanying train
of remOrse and bitterness. Few of us
are strong enough in this world Of trial
and temptation to keep spOtless the
white soul which the Creator treathed
into our being with the first Indication
of life. The soul that slipped frOm the
hands of its Maker into Tire shell pre-
pared for its hJbitation brought with
it a glimpse &C heaven. and il is this
glimpse of heaven which Shin,S in the
wide open eyes of helpless nabyhood
before the touch of material things
dims its beau.y II is this glimpse also
