The Appeal of the Church
In Behalf of W0rkingn1en

Labor Sunday" is being observed to-
day in 1000 churches, according to
figures collected by the Federal Council
Of Churches. which organization has re-
ceived reports showing that nearly 80
per cent more churches are TO celebrate
the day this year than in 1913. It is
recommended by the Fedral Council that
each church have a constructive program
for serving the social needs Of its COM
munity, and suggests the following
specified principles for which II asserts
the church must stand:
First. The gradual and reasonable re-
duction of the hours of labor to the low
est practicable point, and that degree Of
leisure for all which is a condition Of
the highest human life.
Second. A release from employment
one day in seven.
Third. A living wage as a minimum in
every industry. and the highest wage that
each industry can afford.
These propositions were worked out by
the commission on the Church and Social
Service of the Council, which urges that
favorable action upon them be taken by
individual churches. brotherhoods, con-
ventons, and other representative bodies

Many pastors will make use of the oppor-
tunity to present the relation OF the
church TO the industrial situation. In
some churches the observance Of Labor
Sunday will be postponed until a later
Sunday in September. because Of the

lions.

GERMANY HOLDS
KEY TO BALTIC
Kiel Canal, Just Completed,
Is Of Great Importance to
Kaiser's Fleet.
BLOCKS UNEQUAL FIGHT

With the help of her new ship canal
connecting KEEL Bay with the River
Elbe and thus the North Sea. Germany
is now in complete control of the
Baltic. When the German Emperor last
June formally opened the Kaiser Will
helm Canal. or. as il is oftener called,
the Kiel Canal. he made his final prep
aration for war. according to military
experts. The canal which is sixty
miles in length, joins Kiel. a strong
naval port. with the mouth of the Elbe.
near which lies Wilhelmshaven. head
quarters OF the German navy.
The canal. which thus connects the
Baltic and the North Sea. was begun in
1887. 1t was completed in 1895, but
it soon developed that il was not big
enough. Provision had not been made
for the accommodation OF warsihps
and merchant ships of the size OF mod
ern vessels So it was determined to
enlarge the canal. This work was
completed last June.
First Canal Too Small.
The original canal was 2l3 feet wide
at the surface and seventy-two feet
wide on the bottom. with a depth of
29Ia feet. In 1909 work was COM
menced to make the canal double the
original width at the IBttom and SO
feet deep. To celebrate the compile
;ion of the work. a squadron of British
Dreadnoughts went through the canal
TO KEEL accompanied by a squadron of
German warships the Kaiser himself
standing on the bridge of the Hohen-
zoIlern, which led the way.
Kiel is the chief naval port of the Bal
tic. 1t is seventy miles from Hamburg,
and its harbor is big enough to float all
the warships in the world. 1t is eleven
miles long, four and a half miles wide
at its mouth. and a quarter of mile at
the south end. II has a uniform depth
of water of forty feet. At KieI there are
imperial docks, shipbuilding yards, and
