Five Kinds of Material Being Used in Securing Scientific Knowledge
 of European Struggle.

of European Struggle.
 New Haven, Conn.,, Nov. 24.-Scien- tif1c collection of data of the Euro pean war is being made by the Yale university library according to an- nouncement today. In years to come, it is pointed out this collection will attract those who prepare histories of the great struggle. Five kinds of ma- terial is being used. The first is official correspondence between the nations and is classed as the dipIo- matfc side of the war. The second shows popular opinion upon the war and its causes as expressed through publications, mostly in pamphlet form with some newspaper comment, with record of daily events as published in the press. The third section is given up almost wholly to military documents. official despatches from general staffs and commanders with maps of all description used in the campaigns.
 The fifth part shows the popular feeling engendered by the war and re- fiected in cartoons in publications, posters and post cards. with such private correspondence as merits recognition. periodicals containing war pictures and other publications which give space to discussion on value of various implements of warfare, and the various other exhibits which can not be classified at this time under other sections.
 The university library is making the

NINE YEARS WILL SEE STREAMS
FULL OF TROUT.

Plans to completely Eestcck 81

! the national forests OF Colorado,
Wyoming, and South Dakota. within
period Of nine years, are well under
way, as the result OF the approval by
the federal bureau of fisheries of a
plan of operation prepared by the for
| est service The bureau of fisheries
has promised to furnish the necessary
fish fry for distribution to the various
forests, the shipments Of fry to be di-
rected to railroad stations nearest the
waters to be stocked so tina. as many
streams as possible may be supplied
from n central point. The planting OF
al fry will be performed by forest
Officers who will keep close check on
the result of the work.
According to the estimates of the
forest officers, approximately 2O.0Oo,-
900 trout fry of the brook. rainbow,
and black-spotted varieties Will be
needed to meet the requirements OF
the waters adaptable to the produc-
ton of trout. OF this great number
the. bureau of fisheries is prepared to
supply something over four and
half million this year and gradually
increasing number each successive
year for total cf nine, at the end OF
which time it Is expected that the
complete restocking will have been ac-
complished. The estimates are said
to cover 273 streams and lakes In tn !,
three states.
The restocking Of national forest
streams in all states where such
forests are situated, including those
now being acquired in the White
mountains and the southern Appal-
achians, will be given attention as
rapidly as supplies Of fish fry become
available for planting purposes. The
forest service is admirably organized
to carry on work of this kind and
does so with practically no interfer-
ence with regular activities since the
fish must be handled with the utmost
haste and frequently during the late

No more gratifying, inspiring, or
soul-uplifting promise ever came from
the Masters lips. He was an apostle
of work. He personally lived life OF

heavenly world he did not hesitate to
dignity and glorify manual labor by
working as a young man at the car
penter's bench.
Jesus kenw, however, that there
comes a time when the head grows
weary and the heart heavy and the
hand relaxes its grasp and the whole
being cries out for rest

And yet what an insignificant min
ority are these compared with the
multitudes who for twelve months in

the looms and turn the wheels of a
hundred thousand different wheels of

HIGH CLASS MOTION PICTURES

| The Lookout, a publication issued
| by the Standard Publishing company
of Cincinnati, Ohio. one OF the leao-
ling publishing houses of the Disciples
of Christ, and by the way one of the
most conservative, in its issue OF July
18th published the following on the
editorial page about the introduction
of moving pictures in the churches,
which will be of interest to the read
ers of The Gate City. inasmuch as the
First Christian church of this city
has taken this forward step. The
Lookout says:
It was recently stated in the New
York Evening Sun that, beginning
October 1, four hundred churches In
four hundred cities OF the United
States will be supplied with high
class, weekly, five-film motion picture
entertainment. DR.. Charles Stelzle,
social efficiency engineer and former
head OF the Labor Temple, will be the
managing director Of the company,
which is now being incorporated. and
which at present has photographer
in Palestine taking motion pictures.
Another man is securing Europe for
the best educational films. while
third man is nunting all over Ameri-
ca for photo-plays suitable for produc-
ton in churches. DR.. Stelzie's plan Is
to have sixty centers, with a moving
picture operator for each center.
This operator can give one moving
picture show in one church in one
city each night, and in that way he
can easily cover seven cities week.
This idea is very similar to that OF
the Church Motion-picture Service
recently established to help solve the
problem of furnishing wholesome edu-
cational entertainment which will at
tract old and young to the church.

MISTAKEN STANDARDS.

81 had to live well, had to keep up
with my surroundings" is the excuse
for embezzlement given by a young
statistician of twenty-nine who was
recently arrested. The words are
pertinent because they indicate a
sentiment that is all too common and
that leads to misconduct of various
sorts, says the Register and Leader.
Things that are desirable, that are
well worth striving for, that may
come legitimately with a little time
and patient endeavor, are all put
ahead OF some of the old-fashioned
standards of honesty and self-re-
spect, which ought to come first. Be
cause men want wealth or position
'or Injuries of different kinds, they
begin to regard them as necessities
which they have to have"
But there should be standard OF
personal integrity which comes be-
fore everything else, which should be
priced above external show. we need
to get back to some of our old Puri-
tanic notions in this respect. We
need to have a pride of self which
transcends the mere externals with
which we may or may not surround
ourselves.
When something within us re-
spends to this sense of personal hon
or so strongly that we are able to
deny ourselves the Injuries we can
not afford, lot of pain and deceit
and crookedness will be avoided. And
we do well to cherish these ideals
rather thoughtfully. It is SO easy to
find that all sorts of things are es-
sential in order to keep up with our
surroundings"

wires, resulting In the stoppage of the

MONMOUTH, H., July 2O.-Arthur
lG. Brown today took charge of the
Quincy Whig as publisher and manag-

oldest papers in the United States,
having been established in 1888. Its
editorials have long had weight in the
councils of the republican party. The
fall Associated Press service gives
the publication added prestige.
