VINTAGE OF 1914s
 GATHERED DURING WAR Girls Picked Grapes While Shells Were Falling All About.

s(Correspondence of Associated Press1
 Rheims, Nov. 22-The vintage of 1914 in the Champagne country is se- cure The grapes are under press while the cannons continue to boom toward the north
 When the Champagne province was invaded" :" said the director of one of the big champagne cellars the Germans said: The wine will be ours, so they spared the viness when our troops chased them out, they had not time to stop to do any damage. all Of which Is especially fortunate, since the year of the war will class along side the year of the comet as one of the best vintages-
 The gathering of the grapes around Rheims was done under a violent fire. The joyous peasant girls whose laugh ter is poetically saids s.to be impris- oned with the wine and to come out with the sparkle" went about their work as if the ground was not being p1oughed everywhere by the unex- p1oded German shells. This year there is little laughter in their song but there is more patriotism and the music by which it was accompanied was the oninous crashing report of the little 3-inch field gun of the French artillery.
 Most of the wine houses above ground were seriously damaged by the heavy artillery fire from both sides, but, as a rule, the cellars. owing to their depth and solidity; have not suf- 9ered. They served andSstiII serve as a shelter for thousands of poor refu- gees who find no other place to escape from the German shells. The only damage to the cellars was during the German occupation, for while they spared the vines, they did not spare fhe bottles Nearly every cellar in kIae champagne district was heavily drawn upon, but none of them were really pil1aged In some cases the wine was drunk on the spot and some of the officers who induIged too freely were still there when the French oc- cupfed the territory, but the common soldier was not permitted this lux ury, and to this fact is probably due the escape of the cellars from com pIeta depletion.
 Experts who have estimated the to- tai yield consfder that 1t will be lit tie below the average in quantity though it will be quite superior to lat ter years in quality.

EXPEDITION TO HUNT
 DOUBTFUL PLACES
SIX Years Voyage Planned by
 British Explorers.

London, July 11.-Six years at sea and a voyage of 210,000 miles to hunt and chart islands. reefs and banks of doubtful location is what the British Antarctic and Oceano- graphical Expedition now proposes to do for the benefit of the worlds mer- chant marine. Originally Sir Ernest Shackleton and J. Foster Stackhouse intended only to survey and chart the coast of the Antarctic continent, looking for such menaces to shipping as might lie on their voyage down and back. But the charts disclose so many points marked D., P. D. and E.. D.-doubtful. position doubtful and existence doubtful-that the explor- CTS have added two and half years to their projected voyage, which starts next December in the 'Discov- cry"
 Never Accurately Charted.
 The seven seas have never been accurately charted because, says MT. Stackhouse, ''being everybody's ousi- ness it was nobodys business to do it. Even the north Atlantic has it's doubtful islands and sunken rocks. Four different mariners, previous to the Titanic disaster, reported seeing rocks near the point where the |: hip went down, and this is one of the first things to be investigated by the Discovery. Polynesia, Melanesia and Malaysia are notorious for volcan nic and coral Instructions, and the Pan anna canal will open new routes through these dangerous seas. The South American and African coasts have their doubtful rocks MT. Stack house considers it just as important to find out that a menace does not exist as that it does
 The new sea charting expedition is financed by public contributions. It's fifteen officers and scientists have given their work for the next six years gratis. The only expense be- sides the equipment are those incl dental to running the ship and the pay of the crew of nineteen men, The foremost hydrographer of Great Britain, Capt. J. A. Rupert-J ones, will have charge of the surround ings and Lieutenant Humphreys will do the land surveying. Various other kinds of scientific work are planned including observations as to the mag netic pole. -.
 Disclose Disturbing Facts
 Existing charts disclose facts which have disturbing influence on traf- hc, such as the presence of shallow surroundings in areas of deep water. Such places will be carefully searched for submerged rocks. All corners of the world will be visited and studied by the expedition.

Then the gradual appearance low down on the northern horizon of the wonderful Aurora, as it rose and expanded an-shaped, as a background, throwing up shafts Of every shade of changing color, start ing low down, shooting up long arms of ribbon-like streamers of vari- colored light, ever changing in form from the slender luminous rays of frilled drapery; then hisslng and snapping and curling like huge snakes. changing suddenly to the gor- geous shape of an exquisite. delicate ly formed fan, every feather of diff ferent tint, then as quickly changing from the feathery tips and circling the fan with the most intricate pat terms of embroidery, then for an in- stant lapsing into an unbroken flame of crimson that overspreads the en- tire heavens; again sending out s1en- der streams of light from every point of the fan that reached almost down to the southern horizon, and as a grand conclusion and in an instant, shooting, hissing and exploding thou sands of streamers of living fire, leaving trails of color as from a rocket or Roman candle.

the churches and missions of Japan have just started on a three-year na- paign. Not only will this new under taking of the federal council be well comed by the Christians of Japan, but Japanese statesmen, educators, edi- tors, and indeed the rank and file Of the people will welcome it as a sign of the earnest intention of the best clements of our nation, first to know the .exact situation, and then to do the right thing. It will be regarded thus as an evidence of real friend- ship between our peoples.

WILL \ INVESTIGATE
 RIGHTS OF JAPAN
kqliry Commission Appointed by
 Churches Of Christ.

New Haven, July 11.-A notable step has been taken by the federal council of the Churches of Christ in 1 America. The executive committee of this church federation, represent ing thirty denominations, 136,0 900 con- church members, has appointed a commission on American Relations with Japan.
 The general scope of its service is defined as the study of the entire question of the application of the teachings of Christ to our relations with Japan, and the promotion of such influences and activities as shah lead to the right relationship between the peoples of these two countries
 Response to Memorials.
 This action has been taken in re- sponse to memorials received from American missionaries in Japan and after due deliberation by a prelimin- ary committee of twenty appointed last December at the annual meeting of the executive committee acting jointly with the administrative com nittee.
 The memorial dated June 6, 1915, from the Japan mission of the Amer ican board, reads as follows:
 Whereas, the universal tablish- ment of the kingdom of God requires the attainment of right relations be- tween nations on a basis of justice and equality, and
 "Whereas the effective proclama- tion of the gospel of the kingdom In Japan depends closely on the main- tenance of friendly relations between the peoples of Japan and the United States. and
 Cause of Difficulty.
 Whereas, the presence on the Pa cific coast of a large number of Jap anese laborers is the cause of diff1- culties that from time to time give rise to discriminating race legislation tending to disturb the historical friendship of these two countries; and
 "Whereas, unfriendly race legisla- tion is likely to be repeatedly att tempted so long as the difficulty is not met by some thorough-going solu- tion; therefore,
 Resolved, That this mission ap- to the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America, sug- gesting-
 "(1) That it appoint a commission to study this whole question in it's re- lation to the teaching of Christ; and
 "(2) That it seek to rally the Chris tian forces of the United States for the solution of this problem and for the promoting of such measures as are in accord with the highest stand ards of Christian statesmanship." Dr. Gulick's Speeches.
 Although the memorial from the missionaries of Japan was received last summer, the first opportunity for its serious consideration did not come until the regular annual meeting of
