recognition comprising q series OF
largely attended meetings. When DR..

the whole congregation OF over 1000
people stood and cheered-
IT don't want you TO imagine that all
the things these men have been saying

saw the Joke.
Dr. Broughton is a humoEist and, like
most American ministers, ~ unorthodox

inclined shoulders of the student, he
wastes no words IN his speeches. Six
speeches had been made before DR..
Broughton replied.

before a looking glass before I can iden-
tify myself as the fellow they've been
talking about" He was equally frank
about his responsibilities, and a twinkle
was in his eye as he looked over his
glasses and remarked quietly: IF all
they've said is true. then I guess I've
taken on the biggest job any man ever
had in this world. But II any OF
them will let me welcome him some
time, I'll strain my conscience as much
as I can on his behalf"
Among those who gave addresses were

to DR.. Len G. Broughton, has a great

Thousands Leaving Palestine and
Syria, Some Villages Losing

Berlin. May 1s-The present unsettled
state Of Palestine and Syria has one
noticeable result. Thousands Of people
are emigrating. especially to North and
South America
Every steamer passing through the

Dublin, May 1S-vIsltors TO the gal
leries of the House OF Commons are not
slow In expressing their feelings Of dis
appointment at the rather duh character
Of the debate on the home rule bIN.
Since the nrst day. when Mr.. Asquith
ana Mr.. Redmond made their great
speeches. the debate has not brought out
much oratorical fervor In fact. most
of the speeches since have been unin-
teresting enough TO be commonplace,
save for an exceptionally brilliant eff
fort by 7. p. OConno- and the finely
reasoned, logical argument for home
rule made by Sir Rufus Isaacs, who Is
fast working for himself place In
British public life, which no other man
of the Hebrew race has ever attained,
with the single exception OF BENJAMIN
DIsraeH, known later as Lord Bea-
The Tory opposition bench has been
very stale. Much was expected from
Mr.. Balfour. But on the night Of his
contribution TO the debate, he had not
been speaking i've minutes before 1t was
plain TO everybody his heart was not In
his task.
The fact Is. Arthur Balfour is not yet
by any means through with his political
ambitions. He has been prime minister,
and during his incumbeney he made good
hesdwsy on the. Irish question:. though
he shivered and stopped short at home
rule.
It was BaIfour who gave ireland the
system Of County Councils, whose
smooth and admirable conduct has done
50 much 10 strengthen the argument for
complete home rule
There are those who viii say that

present ministry, would not be averse
to again taking the premiership even
though his doing so would have to mean
an understanding with the Irish party.

nobody may say what is impossible to-

Britain'S New Plan for the
Strengthening of Coast Defense
New Organization Provides for los Destroyers with
Eight Fast Cruisers and Attendant Ships

London. May Is-wIth the transfer OF
the ONCE Of First Lord Of the Admiralty
to Winston Churchill a new era may be
said TO have begun. Even the bitterest
opponents OF the government have not
dared accuse the young Secretary OF the

OF these which has just come into force
IL the organization OF an entirely new

the idea Of continuous patrol.
Under the old system both Of the battle
squadrons OF the home feet had q de-
stroyer hotiIla attached. and there were

Berlin, May 1s.-In the Julius Tower.
at Spandau, near Berlin, lies Germany's
war treasure" the S30,OO0.00O in gold
taken from France in 1871, and held
ready for immediate use when the day
OF mobilization comes.
What a mere bagatelle this is as
compared with the enormous costs
which the next great war will impose
on the participating powers is shown
by certain statistics compiled by DR..
Otto Fisher, of the Breslau School,. OF
Technology, who has been making
special study OF the subject.
On the basis OF Official Figures. DR..
Fischer estimates that for every man
It puts into the field Germany must be
prepared to pay on the average $3.50
a day for as long as hostilities last.
Surprising that 1t mobilizes an army of
g 600 900 men, this means an expendi
ture OF approximately Sl.s25.oo0.ooo
year.
The rate OF expenditure in the initial
stages of the war would be, OF course,
far higher, the first six weeks follow
ing mobilization, involving alone an
outlay of SS75,oo0,000. This leaves out
of account naval and other government
tai expenditures, which are subject TO
increase in time of war.
As 10 the empires ability to meet this
enormous drain. DR.. Fischer takes a much
more optimistic view than that held by
fnanciers generally during the Morocco
crisis Of last year. The normal cash re-
serves of the Imperial Bank and conse-
ouently its note-issuing power, he afirms
are sufficient to take care OF the i'm
mense costs Of the hrst two weeks hos
tilIties.
Beyond its immediate available nnan-
cial resources. the government would
have 10 meet an estimated increased ex-
penditure OF s1.ooo.o oo,08 q year, which
must be provided for through ta8ation
or loans. DR.. Fischer Is OF the opinion
that a fourth or perhaps q third OF this
sum could be raised by war taxes. The
remainder would have 70 be obtained BY
means Of loans taken up BY the German
people themselves. It being unlikely that
they could be placed abroad.

In addition to these l02 destroyers,
there are fiotillas OF L submarines

With the exception Of the NTH fiotilla,
all the North Sea destroyers are driven
by turbines. and the majority burn oil

The change will quite double the ef-
fective strength OF our advance guard
along the eastern seaboard. and II Is
hoped that the new arrangements will
discourage the growth OF the usual
spring crop OF German scares."

Maurice Healy. brother OF the famous
