Special Dispatch to The Star.
LYNCHBURG, Va, October 19.-As the
result of conference in Richmond a
week ago a committee. headed by C. w.

that 1t will undertake to pay OFF the debt
of the Virginia Christian College here

With more than $4,000 debt the trus-

Virginia Christian Missionary Assoc alton
for help. This board called a meeting for
Richmond and twenty-four representative
men from the Christian churches of the
state out of thirty were present.
The plan OF the committee means the
retirement of trustees who will be dis
placed by Richmond men and probably

RAT|ONS ON TRANSPORTS
HAVE INCREASED IN COST
Commissary General Sharpe
on Necessity for Higher Al
IoWances to Troops.

Increase in the cost of foodstuffs made
necessary an increased allowance for
troops on transports during the past fis-
cal year, according to the testimony of
Commissary General Henry G. Sharpe, set
forth in his annual report to the Secre-
tary of War.
When the allowance of troops and trans
ports was fixed at "a cents a day. this
sum was 30 per cent more than the cost
of the ration" says the report. But later
on. owing to the increase in all food arti-
cles. it was found necessary to increase
the food allowance on transports
so. TO meet the changed conditions. the
regulations were modified to read: Food
for troops travelling on U. S. Army trans.
ports will be prepared from the articles OF
subsistence stores which comp ose the ra.
ton for troops in garrison, varied by the
substitution of other articles of author
lied subsistence stores. the total daily
cost per man of the food consumed moi
to exceed 90 per cetn more than the cur.

on Thanksgiving day and Christmas
when 60 per cent increase over the SINE

for fresh mutton at II posts the prices

Twins Funny Celestial Attends a
Wedding.

Wallace Irwin has in our Sunday Mag
azine tomorrow another of his matchless
All Lee Bung stories-the tales of prob
ably the most interesting Chinaman ever
conceived in the mind of an author. This;
one, telling of All Lees conduct and eX-
perienceS when his Iii boss" Tommy
Oliver. was married, is excruciatingly
funny. The poor celestial was condemn
ed to don dress suit for the wedding,
and in the complexities of the situation
he managed to get into Tommys won
derful new clothes-immaculate imported
shirt, collar, pearl studs. cravat, silk
hat and all.
This so filed the Chinaman with i'm
portance that he fingered overly long in
the society of a batch OF admiring fell
ow-countrymen and idu ged overly much
in various awesome Mongolian bevera ges.
The result? The joy of finding that out
must be left to the reader himself; for
1t will be too keen TO spoi. in advance.

PLAN OF MITIGATION.
Christian Church Delegates Discuss
Unifcation of Missionary Effort.

LOUISVILLE, KY, October 19.-Dele-
gates to the International convention of
the Disciples of Christ were to have a
mass meeting today, which may mark an
epoch in the affairs of the Christian
church Judge Frederick A. Henry of
Cleveland was to preside.
The mass meeting was called to hear
the result of five years elaboration on
the part of the committee on unification,
composed of seven members, headed by
A. B. Philputt of Indianapolis. The re-
port provided that the various missionary
movements. whose simultaneous annual
meetings constitute the so-called conven-
ton, be unified and that the missionary
work of the church be administered by a
centralized body. to be chosen in turn by
a delegate convention.
The conservative element opposed the
unification, moved partly, it was said, by
apprehensions of ecclesiasticism, while the
progressive element, which urged that
such a movement was necessary in the
interest of efficiency, supported it.
