CHURCH LEADERS PLAN
USEFUL LABOR BUREAUS

Owing to the war it is the belief
of church leaders In New York that the
approaching winter will see n record
number of unemployed in that city.
To meet such a condition Presbyterian
and Episcopal churches are making
definite plans. by official action just
taken all Presbyterian churches have
been made labor bureaus, with orders
to form committees. These commit
tees are to cooperate with central
employment bureau at the LABOR
Temple Second Avenue and Fourteenth
street. The Prebyterians say frankly
| that in past seasons the unemployed
hafe not had the attention their cases
deserved.
Plans proposed are that ministers
that men desire employment, and that
well-to-do men in the pews who may
have positions to give bestr themselves
for thu public good. The PresbY-
terrain Church officially states that such
work is a part of It's commission-one
chief reason why it exists. In parish
| newspapers. in public advertisements
and In all possible ways Presbyterian
leaders arc already beginning TO make
known the fact.
At the Episcopal laymen's efficiency
convention held in New York the same
plan has been reported, and parish
mems clubs will report the forming of
committees to, carry on similar work.
| Especially is 1T proposed that well-to-
do men and women in pews OF FIpisco-
pal churches controlling business posi-,
tions cooperate by taking on men and
Women recommended. If need he, work

In order to afford employment. 1t is
said that by no means all who stand in
need of employment are foreign born.
Many of them are Americans.
II is the announced plan OF both
churches to cooperate with all others
who are doing this work for the un-
employed. At the Labor Temple last
year. out of 1900 persons applying.

4 MOTHERS CAROL.
BY Arthur J.. Salmon.

When Jesus In the mangsr lay
With Mary brooding DER Him,
The Wise Men came from far away
To lay their gifts before Him
o Child of Mary, meek and mild.
Pour gifts upon my little child.
When Jesus in the manger lay
And Mary yearnod above Him,
a star OF guidance led the way
For those who came to love Him.
o Child of Mary, meek and mild.
Pour love upon my little child!
When Jesus In the Manager lay
And Mary watched his sleeping.
A song OF angels hailed the day
That from the cast came leaping.
O Child of Mary, give my child
The light OF daybreak undefiled.
When Jesus in the manger lay,
In childhood's mystic glory,
The shepherds in far fields away
Were told His wondrous story.
Q Son of Mary, sweet and mild,
For thy dear childhood, bless my child

a meeting OF people interested in
the sane Fourth of July celebration
was held yesterday afternoon at the
Y.M.C.A. TO consider plans. In view
OF the elaborate preparations which
are being made in Moline and Daven-
port for celebrations il was thought
wise not to attempt anything locally
on a large scale for this year. and the
meeting advised Commissioner Jonas
Bear TO proceed with his plans for
picnic and celebration at Long View
park for the children and young folks
and such adults as may wish to attend.
Accordingly. Mr.. Bear will arrange
program of interest to be given at
the park. but the scheme for general
big celebration will probably not be
carried through. The city commission
has already appropriated funds for the
affair and Commissioner Bear is cor
Iecting additional money from the
public.

Mexico City. June 4.-Despite rum
ors TO the contrary, Gen. Aureliano
Banquet still remains loyal to Die
tator Huerta. Since the overthrow of
Madero he has been Huerta's right
hand man and one of his ablest coun-
sellers.
The story OF Blanquet's life reads
much the same as the biographies
OF many other men who have risen
to power in Mexico. His record be-
gins with his being thrown into the
army as a penalty for alleged disord-
erly conduct Knowing how to read
and write. the young soldier was
made a sergeant, and in that position
he claims to have formed part of
the firing squad that executed Maxi
milan OF Hapsburg. Very little is
known OF banquet until 1910, when
in the campaign in the north against
the Madero forces he made a repu-
tation for wholesale murder of non
combatants.
Blanquet's name is linked INSOFAR
ably with, the slaughter at MatamoT-
as, in the state OF Pueblo. The Ma
derista rebels had taken the town
and passed on before Blanquet's
federal force arrived. Occupying
the place without opposition, Blan-
quet ordered the Jefe Politico to
point out the residence of all rebel
sympathizers. The male occupants
of these houses, irrespective of age.
were arrested at Blanquet's order.
