brought out from these dens of ruin,
and whom have been redeemed and
are today living pure lives.) Oh! If
we could get our people to turn
some Of their money into this "home
field" which is so ripe unto the
harvest
Our battle is not altogether along
the line of rescue alone. We thor
oughly understand that prevention is
the solution to the problem. Our
lectures, which we are giving over the
country, and for which number of
ministers refused us their pulpit, are
based on our fye-year experience of
practically living among these unfor-
Inmates; and are intended to i'm
press the young girl and her mother
Of the awful blight that follows such
a misspent life, believing that many
an innocent one will heed our warn
ing and submit to death rather than
enter upon this disastrous career.
And still further, we are preparing
ourselves for a battle to the finish
against the demons, in the form of
men, who are holding these thou
sands of girls as their slaves. Slaves
in the South Yes. The "White
slave traffic in the South" is in evil
dence in startling proportions. For
a long time we have been gathering
our infoTmation; and we are almost
ready to strike; and what a scene is
going to be enacted! And we appeal
to you, Mr.. Watson, and every other
good man and woman throughout
the South, to come with US and line
UP in battle for a finished fight"
upon these worthless vagabonds who
are holding unto death, our mothers
precious girls. Thousands of lives,
yea, souls, are at stake; and we
appeal to every city official, whose
heart goes out in pity for the
wretched and ruined girls of our
southland, to lend US their undivided
aid in this conflict. And will not our
good citizens, over our country, lend
us their financial aid to fight this
slavery problem? If they will, we
will show them results. We are go
ing into the battle fearlessly, believ-
ing that we have Cod on our side.
We Go not propose to spare anyone
whom we find living off the shame
full earnings Of the outcast woman,
and holding her as his slave. Nor
do we propose to spare any madam"
whom we find procuring young girls
for this ruinous traffic; but we will
fight even unto death, for the saving
Of the innocent young, should it re-
down TO her salvation and TO Gods
glory.
We propose to publish in our
next issue Of The Rescue Magazine
an article entitled "White Slave
Traffic in the South; showing the
awful condition that exists today
among women Of the underworld F;
how that Thousands of ''pimps" are
living and gambling from money
she makes by their shameful life.
We feel and believe that you, Mr..
Watson, as well as every ether man
and woman who stands for purity,
who believes that the unfortunate
should be given a square deal, who
believes in helping the oppressed,
will come with us in this "home
fight; this fight to release and help
and save our own.
l wish to thank you for the dona-
ton you SO kindly gave us to help
in our work.
Sincerely yours in Christ's service,

My Dear Sir: Believing you to
be gentleman Of honor; one who
stands for the good of our country
morally as well as spirituality; one
who has at heart the welfare of the
poor and needy and the unfortunate,
I feel impressed to write you Of a
condition of affairs which is becom-
ing very alarming; extremely appall-
ing; and that is the condition as at
fects women of the underworld. For
the past five years I have practically
given up my dear wife and children
and spent my time largely on back
streets in houses of ill-repute, hold
ing short prayer services with, and
talking TO the fallen; during which
time l have talked face to face with
more than five thousand Of these I'M
fortunate creatures, and [ have
learned to know them as but few
do; and when I tell you that prac-
tically no one goes to see these three
hundred thousand wretched girls to
offer them encourag cement to come out
and live better, l state an absolute
truth. and | am able to prove it if
necessary. And this letter is writ
ten with the thought in view that it
would help to substantiate your
statements and your writings during
the past year, along the line Of for
eigl missions.
7 trust that YOU viii not misunder-
stand me. I believe in foreign mis-
siOns just as you do. I believe that
we, as q Christian nation, should
help all who are III need, to the ex-
tent Of cur ability, to spread the
Gospel TO all the world. But what
do We mean when we send yearly to
foreign countries, hundreds Of thou
sends Of dollars, when within tho
Very shadows Of our homes there are
three hundred thousand American
girls dying in houses Of shame with
go messengers Of God sent 10 WOO

have mercy on them is our constant

pity the church; God have mercy on
the church; and may she wake up
to her full duty.

DIAMONDS FROM GAS.

New Process Discovered In Germany.
Only Small Stones So Far.
A new method of making diamonds
has just been discovered by DR.. Wer-
ner Won Bolten, chemical expert con-
nected with the Siemens Halske lab
oratory at Berlin.
The process is based on the deeom-
position of lighting gas by a mercury
amalgam whereby the carbon contain
ed in the gas is crystallized into dia-
monds. AS these diamonds are eX-
tremely minute. small bits of diamond
dust are introduced into the apparatus,
where they serve as mother" crystals.
upon which larger diamonds are grad
ually built up.
The process is still in the experiment
tai stage, and the diamonds are small,
but it is hoped that DIR. Won Bolten's
discovery will result in the solution of
the problem of manufacturing dia-
monds by artificial means.

U. S. DREADNOUGHTS
LEAD THE WORLD.
Oklahoma and Nevada to Have Three
Fourteen Inch Guns In One Turret.

Three fourteen-inch guns will ap-
pear in each of two turrets on the
giant battleships Oklahoma and Ne
vada, bids for the construction of
which are to be received by the navy
department in December. That this
innovation is included in the design of
the new vessels has just become
known and is exciting considerable in
berest in naval circles. No ship now
afloat has more than two big guns in
turret, and, while Italy and Rus
sia are building several vessels with
this feature, they will use twelve inch
eifles.
1t is explained that the primary pur-
pose of concentrating guns in fewer
turrets is to reduce tonnage On the
Oklahoma and Nevada the weight of
one great turret will be eliminated, as
with the new arrangement only four
turrets will be required for the main
battery of ten fourteen-inch rifles.
The New York and Texas, now I'M
der construction and which when COM
missioned will be the only craft in the
WOrlu WIFI lOurJeeu luCn uulu pdt-
teries, are designed along the old lines
with their big guns placed two in each
Of five turrets.
With the completion of the New
York and Texas the United States will
wrest from Great Britain the distinc-
ton of having the worlds heaviest
armed warship. At present England's
1875 inch gun ships hold this place, the
American commissioned Dreadnoughts
carrying only twelve inch rifles.
Peculiar interest attaches to the re-
suit of the three gun turret experiment
because of the bearing it may have
upon the size of main batteries in the
future. Heretofore it has been held
that the sixteen inch rife used in coast
defense batteries never would be prac-
ticable aboard battleship because of
the tremendous recoil. 1t is now be-
lieved, however, that a turret plat
form that would stand the strain from
the recoil of three fourteen-inch guns
certainly would hold up under the fire
of two sixteen-inchers.

SAYS HE CAN CURE LEPR0SY
BY FREEZING PROCESS.
Philadelphia Surgeon Asserts He Can
Conquer Skin Plague.

DR.. Ralph Bernstein, dermatologist
of the Hahnemann hospital and medi-
cal college, Philadelphia, who is a
worldwide authority on skin diseases
and a cancer specialist, declares that
he can cure leprosy by freezing with
solidif1ed carbon dioxide. This is the
method he has successfully used in
treating epithelioma, or skin cancer.
The solution placed on the skin causes
the cells to expand, and nature then
breaks them down and carries them
away.
"Leprosy can only be contracted
through the medium of an open
wound" said DR.. Bernstein. "Even
this is doubtful, for it has been tried
scientifically to produce the disease it.
self by direct incubation of the germs
in the healthy human living tissue, and
it has been absolutely unsuccessful.
81 have come to learn that we need
not fear an epidemic of leprosy. 1t is
TO be borne in mind that those who
have contracted the disease have been
poorly fed and usually live under poor
hygienic conditions and that it rarely
attacks those whose surroundings are
hygienic.
"My method is to apply modified, So
lidified carbon dioxide to the infected
portion, which causes an intense freez-
ing of the part, producing what the
physician would call thrombosis Of the
various vessels which means in other
words, the cutting off of the supply or
nourishment of the infected part and
in this way causing the gradual alb
sorption, leaving in its place a smooth,
scarless area with a normal skin Gov
ering.
"The freezing substance is applied
some 100 degrees below zero. 1t is
practically painless, and l have great
hopes that it will in the near future
be universally used as a cure for lep-
rosy.
eff you take a bottle of water and
place it out of doors on a cold night
the low temperature will cause the
water to expand and break the bottle,
Well, 1t is the same in treatment OF
leprosy. By applying the dioxide, the
temperature of which is, as l said, 12C
degrees below zero, the cells will eX-
pand and become ruptured, thus rid,
ding the patient of the disease"

MEDAL FOR CLEVELAND ABBE
London Weather Society Honors Work
of American MeteoroIoeist.

London Weather Society Honors Work
of American Meteorologist.
The Royal Meteorological society of
London has awarded the Symons gold
medal to Cleveland Able, the me.
teorologist of the United States wealth
er bureau at Baltimore, in recognition
Of his work. The medal will be pre-
sented at a meeting of the society on
Jan. II.
Professor Able is really the father
Of the present weather reporting sys-
TEN of the United States. He was
born in 1888 in New York city. He
has been connected with the weather
bureau ever since its organization in
1871 and is recognized as one of the
leading meteorologists of the world.
Prior to 1871 he was director of the
Cincinnati observatory, and as early
as 1868 he submitted to the Cincin-
natl chamber of commerce a scheme
for the establishment of meteorological
stations in several states and the dali
ly collection by telegraph of observa-
tions therefrom. This was one OF the
first attempts ever made to predict
weather changes based upon stimuli
taneous reports from various parts of
the country.

RARE BOOKS FOR YALE.
Valuable Collection Presented by Owen
r, Adds to His Alma Mater.

r. Adds to His Alma Mater.
Owen f. Adds of Washington has
presented to Yale university his mag
nificent collection Of first editions of
American editions. The collection is
valued at 100000. Mr.. Adds was
graduated at Yale in 1874.
Nearly all Mr.. Aldis' first editions of
the late schools contain autographed
letters, and altogether between 1900
and 1890 Of the books are what are
termed presentation copies.
"Woman's rights seem new to some
in America" said Mr.. Adds, ''yet in
my collection is a first edition of AL
cuin,' written on the subject by Charles
Brockden Browne ia years ago. That,
by the way, is the only perfect copy
In the world" Then he mentioned
other books and authors for which he
had especial affection. Mark Twain,
William Winter and Charles Dudley
Warner were among the authors men
toned.
Mr.. Adds had a first edition of Eu-
gene Fields ''Tribane Primer" which
not many can boast. Field was rel
ative, and Mr.. Adds has many others
of his first editions, with letters from
the author. OF other later writer's
there are many examples. In some re-
spects the most valuable parts of the
collection, however, are to be found in
Cooper, Emerson, Bret Harte, Haw-
thorne, Longfellow, Lowell, Walt
Whitman, Poe, Thoreau, Holmes, Irv-
ing, Fiske, Prescott, Motley, Parker,
Bancroft, Mrs. Stowe, Mrs. Howe,
Lucy Larcom, the .Carys and others.
Mr.. Adds was proud of the Murder
In the Rue Morgue" he had in his col
lection. There are only three volumes
of the first edition known. The last
found was sold three years ago and
sold for $500.
The collection will be called the
Yale collection of American literature.
1t is regarded at Yale as probably the
richest and most comprehensive col
lection in the world.

the United States and member of the
board of regents in the Smithsonian in
stitution 10000 copies Of the annual re-
port Of the institution are to be de-

ed States is always made an ex officio
member of the board of regents, and
he presides at the meetings of the
board. The late Justice Harlan at
tended meeting of the board and pre-
sided. with the result that he was given
the title Of chief justice in the official
report.

BERGER FOR SUFFRAGE.
To Offer Bill In Congress, Backed by
Petition With 100000 Nance.

FetitIon WIKI iyoOOJVuV Nauo6.
Congressman Victor Berger OF Mil
waukee says that at the next session of
congress he will introduce bill giving
women in the United States the right
of suffrage. His measure, he says, will
be backed with a petition bearing
100000 signatures from all over the
United States.
"Women," said Berger, probably
will make frightful botch OF the bal
lot at first, but they will soon be able
to exercise the franchise In a manner
that will benefit the home and the ma
tion."
Berger also declared his intention Of
fathering a bill to give work to all the
unemployed. His plan is to have the
national government advance loans to
states and municipalities to carry on
Improvements. He advocates a fair in
terest rate on such loans, with plenty
Of time for payment.
'Do you expect the Socialists to have
the third big political party?" he was
asked.
"No," he replied. 'T expect them to
have the second. In some states and
sections they will supplant the Demo
Gratis and in others the Republicans"

Cuba TO Celebrate
Second Anniversary

Havana, Cuba. Jan lO.-cuba will
celebrate the second anniversary Of the
re-establishment of the government in
more sensible manner than she usual
~ exhibits in her celebrations In
tead OF appropriating vast sums Of
money for festivities, most Of the mon
ey going into the pockets of the select
few and no permanent good resulting
therefrom, the program for the coming
deliberations is to hold a national ex-
position one which will illustrate the
resources OF the island, agricultural,
horticultural, industrial and mineral.
The national show is to be opened OH
January 28, the second anniversary
Of the day when General Jose Miguel
Gomez was inaugurated president Of
the republic of Cuba, and also the evac-
uation OF the island by the army of
Cuban pacification
There win also be other observations
Of the day, but this will be the most
notable one, and it will be sure to draw
great deal Of attention from the
United States. The producing wealth
Of Cuba has Increased 50 much during
the last twelve years that the people
of Cuba are anxious to show the peo-
pie Of the world what they have here
now, and at the same time the people
OF the world are a little bit interested,
and if they can simply so to Havana
and satisfy their curiosity without 60
ing on long and tiresome tours over the
island there win no doubt be large
attendance from different parts Of the
United States
This is not to be an international af-
fair and many county or states fairs in
the United States have been much
larger in extent than this first effort
on Cuba's part will be, but there is no
country in the world that can put up
display as interesting to the people OF
the states as Cuba can.
The exposition is to be held in the
beautiful botanical gardens in the
edge of the city This place has such
historical connections that it is in
itself great interest to the tourist
and sightseer. 1t is at the former sum
mer home of the captains-g general Of
Cuba Here it was that Butcher
Weyler lived during his stay in Cuba.
