BRITISH CRUISER

Washington. Oct. l5.-Details of
the seizure by British cruisers of the
American steamship Rio Pasig and
of her detention at Hong Kong as Il
prize were received here today show
ing that the vessel was charged with
endeavoring to supply coal and other
supplies to German cruisers on the
eastern waters.
The Rio Pasig was owned by the
Manila Philippine firm and sailed
under the Philippine flag with Il
cargo of coal ostensibly bound for
Guam. She evidently did go through
the form of making voyage as doc

Islands. Before she arrived at that
port she was seized. Learning of
what had happened the RIO Passig
sailed westward and was steaming
near the straits when seized by the

PLANS UNITY OF
CHRISTIAN CHURCHES

Atlanta. Ga, Oct. 15.-The unity
of Christian churches is with each
year becoming a less remote posi-
bility, according to the report OF
the Commission of Christian Union.
which was presented at the general
convention of the Disciples OF Christ
here recently.
The commission has been at work
only four years. Headed by the
Rev. Or. Peter Ainslie of Baltimore,
IT has headquarters In that city.
from which it has distributed more
than 10000 letters to all parts OF
the world in the interest OF a more
cordial relation among Christians OF
all names and creeds. 1t regards the
barriers to cooperation among
Christians in this day to be due
largely TO the lack of acquaintance.
Its efforts have been given to remove
suspicion and to create an atmos-
phere of confidence and fricndliness.
The president of the commission,
with the Rev. DR.. Newman Smyth
of the Congregational church, and
Rev. DR.. William Fl. Roberts of the
churches of Great Britain and Ire
land last winter in the interest of
a world conference of faith and Or
der. They secured the co. operation
of all the protestant cOplmunions.
later DR.. Ainslie. the president of
the commission, returned to Europe
as a delegate to the church peace
conference at Constance. which.
however, was Interrupted by the war,
tut he returned to America through
england and there held conferences
in the interest of Christian union.
The commission is giving its sup
port toward world conference to in
nlude all Christendom. Neither the
time nor the place has been set, but
At is said preparations are maturing
so that this announcement may be
made at an early date.
The report of the commission,
which is written by the Rev. +. w.
Burnham of Los Angeles. Cal, secre-
tary of the commission, closes as fol-
lows:
1T is now four years since the
Disciples of Christ was founded at
Topeka. Kan. When the commission
first began its task it looked out
upon field where there We're many
possibilities, but ground practi-
cally untouched so far as immediate.
definite plans were concerned. After
four brief years. with such time Ss
busy men could devote to the serv-
ice, we are well on the way toward
The realization OF some of our great
est aims.
"A new literature on the subject, |
the task in its larger |
and breathing a more |,
ironic and brotherly spirit, is COM
ing forth. The amount OF thought |
and study now being devoted to the
solution of the problems connected
with the possible reunion of the di-
vided Church of Christ is unprece-
denied in the history of Christianity.
Yet but a beginning has been made.
The Christian world is awakening
TO this issue as never before. 1t
cannot stop short of the realization
of the answer of Jesus prayer. Diff
iiculties that We're supposed to be
are dwindling in
under the clearer light
aud closer fellowship of these days
Old barriers are breaking down and
no man of leadership seeks to erect |
new ones"

A Badgered Buffalo: Many eXcit-
ing "reminiscences are told by the
steamboat navigators who piled up
and down the upper Missouri in the
days when the west was Young. The
fare provided for the crews in those
| early days was extremely plain and
scantv. One Of the boats was the
Emily, commanded by Captain Toe La
Barge. On one trip it was coming
down through the buffalo country
with only a poor supply of salt horse
and dry bread. Every eye was alert
for meal OF fresh meat, if such
should appear on four feet anywhere
in the vicinity. At last, near Han
dy's Post. four huge bulls were sight
ed. swimming the river. Captain La
Bargcs first mate was greenhorn
named John Durack, and the captain
thought this a fine opportunity to
break him into some of the eXper-
fences of the wild and woolly west.
He gave orders to the men on the
boat to shoot the buffalo while he
and John would rope them when
either wounded or dead, and tow
them back to the hungry crew. But
John, it seems, did not quite under
stand the program. About mid
stream he suddenly flung the moose
