In the hospital at Norfolk, eight
strong men of the sea, the only sur

of horror, of clinging TO the wreck

The Julia Luckenback, freighter,

aration that its gospel of class hat

When the president, flushed and
vehement, paused. after a long attack
upon the progressives, in which he de-
clared that their policies spelt an
archy and haos, the great ball room
was rent with wild cheers. Napkins

tined internationally and was only
silenced after Toastmaster ]. Van
vrehlen olcott Of New York had re-

The dinner was a lavish love feast
in the extreme. 1t was staged in the
great bali room which was decorated
with cut flowers, potted palms and
tags. The overflow OF tables extend
ed through the green room and so
great was the crush of candidates

he had, to the best Of his ability, fol
lowed out the platform upon which
he was elected The defeat Of many
of his measures, he laid to personal
dislike which he characterized as
"taftophobia" and that many repre-
sentatives and senators felt for him.
This condition OF affairs. he said, was
brought about, because, through the
help of old-time republicans who
were called reactionaries, he had Sc
cured the passage of much valuable
Legislation. I'm doing So" he said, Il

faction that has become insurgenr
and declined to follow the leadership
of the dominant party"
The major part of the presidents
address was devoted to the assump-
tion OF position against the progress
sive party and the principles it advo-
Gates. In bitter terms he predicted
that If the progressive party elected,
upon its present llatform, national
ticket, 1t would mean the engulfing
Iof popular government in a storm of
class hatred and contempt for con-
|stitntional rights.
Defining an "insurgent," the presi-
dent sarcastically remarked that
there was little that was personal in
the appelation.
IF one man has advocated a propo-
sition,' he said smilingly, "it Is all
right, because he is an insurgent On
the other hand, If another who is re-
puted reactionary' has offered the
same measure, it has had to be con-
demned because of the source from
whence it came"
Why he continued. Since we
were beaten in the last race; since
we ran third, are we here with so
much spirit? Is it not that IN spite Of
| the defeat recorded in November, we
were still victorious In saving our
country from an administration whose
policy involved sapping the founda-
tions OF democratic. constitutional,

peals to the people were calculated to

LONDON, Jan. Arbitration by
the great powers OF Europe Is all that
can prevent q resumption of the Bal
kan war against Turkey. The porte
desires mediation, as is easily appar-
ent from the utterance6 of Rechld
Pasha and Osman Miami Pasha, Ot-
toman delegates to the peace confer
ence, but the representatives of the
Balkan states are reluctant to submit
to intervention, because they surmlse
that the triple alliance and the triple
entente would not be apt to recon.
mend a settlement that would give
too much territory and power in east
ern Europe to the Balkan alliance.
| 1t was known tonight that the last
demands made by the Balkan pleni-
potentiaries are irreducibie. On the
other hand, the Turkish delegates are
without authority from Constantinople
to make further concessions. That
was the lay of things this afternoon
when the peace conference was sched-
uled to resume and but for the action
1 of the ambassadors of the powers in
securing the postponement until Mon
day, negotiations undoubtedly would
i have been broken off.

as to the fate of the men aboard the

"Our men went down because the
men on the Indrakaula thought only
of themselves and left us to our fate"

tain of the vessel kept to the best
traditions of the sea and himself per-

OF Captain H. a. Gilbert's last mo-

grief by those of his men who sur
vived.
The captain was below deck, al

dealt d death blow, and as quietly
rushed below for his wife. They came
out on the wave-swept deck together.

CHURCHES AND THE SOCIAL
WELFARE

Indicating that the churches are
coming more and more to the view
that they must concern themselves
with the spiritual welfare of the peo-
pie, not only, but with their physical
welfare, because physical conditions
have large bearing on spiritual con-
ditions. is the action OF the Baptist
church convention in session in De
troit in reporting a program OF social
service activities. Here are 10 planks
IN the platform which It put forth:
Right OF employers and employees
70 organize.
One day Of rest IN seven.
Living wage for women.
Reasonable reduction. in hours of
labor.
Conservation OF the health OF work
ers, eliminating causes OF occupational
diseases.
Protect workers from handicap OF
enforced unemployment
Old age pensions.
Abolition OF child labor.
Reform conditions OF toll for women
20 safeguard the physical and moral
health OF the community.
Fullest possible development OF ev.
cry child by the provision OF proper
education and recreation.
Appeal to all churches to join in
this social service program.
The Baptist church is wise in its
day. Every church. TO hold its mem
bership must make itself a part Of
the daily life OF its members and en-.
ter into their hopes and aspirations.
II cannot carry conviction to the av-
erage man Of this interest In him so
long as II takes no part IN the attempt
TO secure better material conditions
