mander Of the German cruiser declar-
ed that the German squadron, Of
whidh four! ships we're sunk in the
battle !off Falkland Islands, was en-
gagged by two British super-dread-
noughts and six cruisers.
The consul states that the Dres-
den was unchanged. Her commander
declared that he left the rest of the
feet, still fighting in obedience to a
signal made to him BY the flagship
to run for it, but later intercepted a
wireless from the British fleet which
stated that the Gneisenau, Scharn-
horst and Leipzig had been sent to
the bottom.
Nothing has been learned definitely
of identity of the British vessels, nor
is there any confirmation Of the re-
ported presence of the Japanese
sonadron either on the Atlantic or on
the Pacific.

THE PRESBYTERIAN MODERATOR
How Dr.. Alexander Was Elected and What May
Be Expected of His Administration.

Concerning the choosing Of moderator
by the Presbyterian general assembly at
Chicago, the Outlook says, editorially:
The election Of DR.. Maitland Alexan-
der, Of Pittsburgh. was one Of the most
unusual in the history Of the assembly.
When the last assembly pulled DR.. John
Timothy Stone out of the front seat
dressed In q gray suit he had bought that
morning in Atlanta because he wanted
to get away from all formality and be
comfortable-and made him moderator,
1t was because the commissioners had
become tired of politics and wanted to
deal smashing blow to the politicians
who had come to the assembly after
months of wire-pulling. While q few
men played politics In Chicago in q small
way, II is fair to say that politics had
very little to do with the election OF DR..
Alexander. -Four or five other candidates
had been mentioned. and II was fully
expected that each of them would be
nominated: but Immediately following
DR.. Samuel ]. Niccolls' speech in which
he presented the name Of DR.. Alexander,
DIR. Aquilla Webb, Of Louisville. who
was his chief opponent, seconded the
nomination. There were no further noni-
nations. BY a unanimous and q rising
vote DR.. Alexander was swept into the
moderator's chair.
Rev. John Ray Evers. the pastor Of q
neighboring church. writes Of DR.. Alexan-
der:

Paris, June 2o.-Modern girls are spoil

in the Medical Bulletin.
I've been thirty years practicing," he
writes, land I've witnessed q gradual de-

teristics.
Young women nowadays are deformed; :;
they stoop pronouncedly, they're hollow
chested, and their complexion is un-
healthy. This attribute to excessive
brainwork.
Women ought to study less IL they're
not to lose their beauty altogether"
Another authority, DR.. Bouchet, SAYS
married women are more beautiful than
younger spinsters, adding:
The saying that women who want to
be beautiful must have three children is
true.

mustn't devote herself to hard intellec-

Geneva, June 2a.-The Swiss Society Of
Public Utility for Women, which is an
influential body Of women, with branches
throughout Switzerland, has issued a
eugenIc appeal, urging every young wom-
an before marriage and every young
woman of marriageable age to undergo a
medical and physical examination. like

for the sake of herself. her husband, and
her country.
The aim of the society is to obtain

happiness of the home.
Awaiting the day when the government
will take the matter in hand and demand
certificates of health from both brides
and bridegrooms before sanctioning mar

ostentatiously. is strongly supported by
the medical profession and by university

SOME PHASES OF
CHURCH EFFORT

The bin providing for an Increase of
chapiAins In the navy, toward which the
senate is said to be favorsbIy disposed,
has behind II, says the CONGREGATIONAL
ist, the support Of the Federal Council
representing thirty Protestant denomina-
tions, while leading Roman Catholics
have been no less earnest in its adyo-
caeY. When practically the unanimous
religious sentiment of the country calls
Tor a definite step like this, lawmakers
at Washington should give heed to what
Is requested. especially when, as in this
case. Secretary Daniels. of the navy, has
already heartily indorsed the proposals,
II is altogether. undesirable that when
the navy has grown to 1900 officers and
sl,Ooo men, the law should permit no more
chaplains than were allowed in Isis when
with l.5l4 officers and 1900 men proyi-
sion was made for twenty-four chap
lains.
This endeavor to provide more ships
with religious leaders Is accompanied by
q plan to test the fitness of q candidate
for such q position by three years pre-
liminary service as an acting chaplain.
We need not only more but better chap
lains. Another commendable movement
looking toward the welfare Of sailors and
marines relates to the appointment of
Y. NJ. c. A. or welfare secretaries who,
as Secretary Daniels says, will enter into
the feelings and ambitions Of the young
men and direct them In their athletics
and entertainments as well as in their re-
ligious life. What men OF this type have
accomplished in the Panama Zone and in
the field at the time OF the Spanish
American war illustrates the wide range
OF service which q wise. energetic young
man familiar with modern methods could
render. There IL work enough on board
great man-of-war for both a chaplain
and a welfare secretary. provided they
are both red-blooded, consecrated men.
II we must have a navy and indications
point to its continuance for many years
yet, let us provide generously for the mo-
raj and spiritual welfare OF those who
are serving in II.
