 Seagrie, N. J.-Slowly and with measured emphasis, Gov. Woodrow 1 Wilson unfolded the fabric of his po- litical beliefs in speech formally ac- cepting the Democratic nomination to the presidency. Establishing first what he termed his faith" he invok- ed the rule of right and of justice, , to politics, proceeding in succession to show it's application to the tariff, the antitrust question. the restora- tion of the merchant marine, the de- yelopment of waterways, the conser- vation of natural resources, banking reforms and other issues.
 It was a motley throng that gather ed at the summer capital of New Jer- sey. Officially there was a notifica- tion committee of D, representing every state and territory, and with them came eight of the Democratic governors.
 Spread over the green that stretches away from the governors cottage to the ocean, however. was a mixed gath. ering of several thousand.
 A semi-eirele of motor cars fringed the crowd which closed in tightly on the spacious lawns of the governors cottage. On the veranda was grouped the notification committee.
 Senator-elect Ollie James of Ken lucky officially informed Gov. Wilson of the action of the Baltimore conven. tion in speech that was frequently interrupted by applause.
 On the left of MT. James was Gov. Marshall, the vice presidential nomi- nee, and on his right Gov Wilson.
 Cows. Dix Of New York, Foss of Massachusetts, Baldwin of Connecti. cut, Donaghey of Arkansas, Plaistead of Maine, O'Neal of Alabama and Mann of Virginia sat near by.
 With solemn attention the crowd listened to Gov Wolson's speech. Though frequently a satirical remark brought laughter, Gov Wilson's ex- pression of his political doctrine was received with marked attention.

WAR TO AID PARIS MARKET
Balkan Nations and Italy to
Float Government Loans.
[Ry Cahle to The rrihnn. /

Paris, Nov 23.-In spite OF fiuctua-
tions and setbacks in the Bourse quota =
tons yesterday and to-day, a strong
undsrtone prevails in the bond market.
Moreover, brisk business is predicted
by leading bankers, owing to the i'm
portance of foreign government loans
soon TO be placed in Paris.
All the Balkan nations now at war
applied in Paris for loans last October.
These loans were then refused, on the
ground that the French government
declined to supply funds for making
war. All these countries to-day are in
much greater need OF money than be-
fore. Consequently, arrangements are
already being made here for floating
government loans, not only for Italy.
but for Bulgaria, Rumania, Servia,
Montenegro, Greece and Turkey.
The Bank Of France still maintains
Its restriction Of payments In gold.
thereby keeping intact Its enormous re-
serves Of bullion.

value OF beauty 70 women
Beauty" she says. is the highest
and most familiar symbol. Women
should be beautiful. Nothing Is more
painful or more depressing than an
ugly woman. A beautiful woman's
face, however, inspires JOY, stimulates
and ennobles human effort. The
woman OH whom a tired husband can
not rest hts eyes with Joy, whose chill
dren take no pleasure in looking at

missing attack. InauguTated by Canon
Newbolt, was made at the meeting OF
the lower House Of Convooation at
Canterbury this week, and arising out
of proposals to alter one Of the CUES
tions used in the ordering Of deacons.
Canon Nswbolt declared that three
things that Engiishmen used TO
believe in were, first, the observance
Of Sunday, which was dwindiing away
in a terrible manner; second, the SER
mon In church, though Judging by the
troops which left before the sermon
especially at 81. Paups, that belief was
fast losing hold, and, third, the Bible.
though they were fast losing belief
even in that.
Those who read the papers and
watched the times, he said. must be
aware Of the fact that the Bible does
not occupy the same position in the
mind Of the average Englishman.
What" he went on TO say, "can be
more awful than the appearance OF
biblical scenes on the stage? II is per-
fectly revolving TO think that ST. John
the Baptist should have appeared on
the music hall stage. ! am told our
Lord Himself at the present moment Is
being represented on the stage in an
other name and so has escaped the
censors notice. do not like to say
that emphatically, however, for | am
quoting at second hand what l read in
the papers.
"C!nematograph exhibitions of the
most sacred things in our Lords life
have been given, and one cannot help
feeling. as one sees how bits and tags
Of Holy Scripture are taken up in the
ordinary parlance Of newspapers, how
very much the opinion OF the ordinary
Engiishman has changed from the time
when he looked upon the sacred Script
ures as something too sacred to be used
on ordinary occasions"
