Desert State Church.

: What extensive proportions the
leave the state church movement has
attained in Germany were disclosed
for the first time at the meeting of the
Berlin synod last week The move
ment is supported by free thinkers like
Ernst Haeckel, Prof. Drews, and ener-
getically by the Social Democratic par
ty- 1t was stated at the synod meet
ing that matters had reached a point
where even the reichstag no longer
contains a Protestant majority, as con-
siderably more than half the imperial
parliament consists of Roman Catho-
lies. Jews. and Socialist free thinkers,
who have renowned all church allegi-
ance. During 1913 total of 1871
people were induced to desert the
state evangelical church, and for the
last six years the number aggregates
more than 10000.

Practical View Of II.

During a political campaign a GER
tain orator spoke to a great gathering
OF country people in an Alabama town.
He deluged his hearers with a flood
of oratory. He was impassioned, he
was impressive, he was grand. The
thunderous applause Of the crowd told
him SO. He thrilled with the con-
sciousness Of his power over the
minds OF men. And, being in this
state Of mind, he stood in the midst

1t to say that. although a high stan

school riding and a perfectly made"

now laid on crosscountry riding. jump

program Is summed up in the opening
words: ITO meet the demands of war,
the rider must have his horse under
perfect control. and the horse must be

der the colonels lead, for it is looked
upon as part of the military duty, as
good school for the young and good
practise for their elders, increasing
the ability Of all to meet the stern de-
mands Of war. A great many of the
cavalry regiments keep q pack of
hounds. In South Germany the lie Of
the country only permits of drag
hunts. but in the North deer and espe-
cially Wild boar are coursed, the most
favored localities being the Senne and
Hanover. This latter place is the
home of the Great Military Riding in
stitute. and the hunting there has at
tanned some celebrity. Almost all cav
airy and many field artillery officers 60

ton there. There are also special
courses for non-commissioned officers.
The teaching is most thorough. and
aims at the highest grade of perfec-
ton. Long-distance rides form an
other branch of the military service.
No horses under eight years may par
ticipate; in no case Is their endurance
to be tried to the utmost, the condi-
ton Of the horse at the end of the
trial being one Of the chief points
called to account. The great competi-
ton Of the year Is the "Kaiserpreis-
ritz" for which the emperor offers
prizes to each army corps and the rid
ing institute at Hanover To attain
its definite possession. however, the
competitor must win the prize twice.

How the War Affects Us.
K.-As to immigration.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

What will be the effect of the war on
immigration? Under ordinary circum-
stances the United States in a wear alb
serbs a million immigrants, mostly from
Europe. Nearly all of these are labor
system. great number return every
year. but the net increase. in. round num-
bers, stands at million year.
In the first three weeks of the war the
immigration fell Off over 60 per cent. AS
many ships were already at sea, and as
new countries are affected by the scope
of hostilities. it is more than probable
that further falling on will be register
ed as the war drags along
In fact. the figures now are largely sus-
tanned by the immigration from Canada
of a large number Of European-bo
laborers who have been thrown out of
employment by the closing of Canadian
mines, or who have been forced to leave
in their own interest because they are
subjects of some state at war with Great
Britain
immigration is always a. vexing prob
lem, SO far as the United States is con-
cerned, but there is reason to believe
that it soon will become even more COM
plicated and involved.
After the first shock Of war is over the
inevitable effect in the United States will
be to stimulate manufacturing enter
prises. This will call for more labor.
There are a great many unemployed Ia
borers In the country, but there always
are. 1t is a question of the juxtaposition
of the demand and the supply. But il
the European labor market is cut down
to one-third or less for a year. and II
our manufacturers increase their output,
it must follow that unemployment among
the more or less mobile foreign-born la
borers will cease. Don't forget that we
