UNAVOIDABLE REPORT TO
 BE MADE ON PROJECTED
 BRIDGE OVER ASH GREEK

seIectmen Charles A. Rowe and IF. R. E1wood of Fairfield are opposed to the building of a. new bridge over Ash Creek at Brewster street and be- cause of the present situation in Bridgeport regarding tax matters and the city finances, it is not likely that a bridge will be built for some time to come.
 Alderman Callahan recently intro duced a resolution in the Common Council asking g. conference with the Fairfield officials on the matter. The conference was held yesterday with Aldermen MacFayden. Steig1er. Olson and Moorey of the streets and side walks committee, City Clerk Robinson and Director of Public Works Ccur- tade.
 After a discussion in which the Fairfield seIectmen made known their views, the party notored out to in- spect the bridge. It wAs decided that the structure must answer for the present and the committee will make an unfavorab1e report on the matter Monday night.

HEAVY SURF INVADES
 TRAIN AT SEABRIGHT

seabrfght, N. J.. July a1-A phe- nomena1Iy high sea rolling caused con- siderable alarm to property owners who, for short time feared a repeti- ton of last winters disasters. Crowds gathered along the shore to watch the waves, which were remarkable from the fact that there was hardly enough wind to account for them. Many persons seemed to see a con- nection between them and the great waterspout which swept in toward Sandy Hook at noon yesterday. The tide was also unusually high
 Just after the Jersey Central Steam boat Express. which leaves here for New York at 2:24 p. m., ran out on the beach north of the station. a, very heavy pillow broke over the bulkhead and a mass of water flew over the engine, baggage car, and smoker, sending small torrents through the open ventilators in the roofs and caus- ing many of the passengers to leap from their seats to avoid wet ting.
 As the tide receded the waves rap idly subsided.

1T is a holy sight" said Disraeli
Ito see a nation saved by its youth.
rs it not more inspiring" asks
John r. Mott, leader of the Student
Volunteers, Ito see the students of the
North American continent dedicating
themselves to the sublime undertaking
of evangelizing the wOrld?"
The Student Volunteer movement
for Foreign Missions is recruiting
agency for the mission boards of all
churches. II exists primarily to serve
these boards and does not itself send
out missionaries. The watchword of
the Student Volunteers is: The
EvangeliZation of the World in this
Generation"
According to J. 5. Moore, secretary
of the Y. NJ. {. A. at the University
of Missouri, the Student Volunteer
Movement was permanently organized
at Northfield. Mass. in 1886. Two
years before this time. Dwight l..
Moody had invited representatives
from the North American colleges to
meet him at Northfield for a mission
airy conference. After two of these
conferences with Mr.. Moody, Robert
Wilder of Princeton University con-
ceived the idea of organizing these
students into a missionary institution.
The 225 students attending the con-
ference in 1886 were the charter MEM
bers of the Student Volunteers. 1t is
a significant fact that 100 of these
charter members went to foreign
lands as missionaries.
The distinctive purpose of the Stu
dent Volunteers" said Mr.. Moore, lis
TO secure student volunteers who will
go and spend their lives in non-Christ-
ian lands in the work of establishing
Christ's kingdom"
Since the organization of this mis-
sionary movement. 5SS2 student vol
unteerS have gone into the uttermOst
parts of the earth. OF these, 1,466
have gone since the Rochester Con-
vention four years ago. Great Britain
and Ireland. which also have student
volunteer organizations, have sent out
500 missionaries. Germany is rep
resented by 10 student volunteers in
foreign lands; Australia. 106: SwitZ- |
erland. 80. And strange as it may .
seem, there are student volunteer or /
in China and South Africa /
that are doing a potent work.
Another simple but highly significant |
purpose of the Student Volunteer
Movement is the creation of an inter-
est in social service: in the educa-
tional and religious value of foreign
missions in our colleges.
IF the churches of North America
are to wage triumphant warfare in
these distant and difficult fields which
call so loudly today for our help"
says John r. Mott. the missionary
acts and spirit must first dominate our

REyIyINGOUR MERCHANT MARINE

There are now so few American YES
sells engaged in foreign trade that in
many parts of the world the American
flag is never seen except on a warship.
Twelve months have passed during
which not one American merchant YES
sci has applied for passage through
the Suez Canal.
There was a time when American
ships carried nearly all American ex-
ports and imports. In 1880, 80 per
cent of the exports and "a per cent
of the imports were carried by Amer
lean vessels. In 1911. on the other
hand. only little more than 10 per
cent OF the imports and per cent of
the exports were borne on American
bottoms.
Although our trade is much greater
'lidH IL va" my vi SNaio
ago, the decrease in the percentage
of foreign trade carried by American
ships has been accompanied by cor
responding decrease in the tonnage of
the merchant marine engaged in for
eign trade.
With the impetus which will be
given to foreign commerce by the COM
pletion of the Panama Canal. steps
should be taken to remove the legis-
lative restrictions which have been
responsible for the decline of Ameri-
can merchant marine. The revival of
American activity in this line would
greatly increase our yearly balance
in commerce by keeping at home vast
sums of money, which. in the form of
transportation charges. now help TO
swell the balance of the countries
with whom we trade.

SIMPLIFYING CITY GOVERNMENT.

Business manager" is the official
title of the chief administrative officer
in Clarinda Ia. and his appointment
three years ago marked considerable
advance in the handling of the citys
municipal affairs. Efficiency was the
thing needed, so the city decided to
administer its affairs in the same way
that any commercial organization is
run-by the employment of a business
manager
In Clarinda's business manager is
concentrated the responsibilities
which, i'm most towns. are divided
among the city clerk, street commits
siOner. cemetery sexton and half
dozen or more other city officials
Any work which he regards necessary
is done under his direction by men
hired by the day. If these men do
not work satisfactorily other men take
their place. Altogether the system
has proved money saver for the
town, and much waste has been elimi-
mated, for when the men are not work
ing their pay stops.
The Clarinda plan is interesting as
marking the progress which is being
made in systematizing and simplify
ing the administration of municipal
affairs. The hiring of one business
manager, who is required to give all
his time to the affairs of the city,
instead of the election of a number of
men whose official duties are merely
side lines, is a decided improvement
in efficiency.
1t is not unlikely that towns many
times the size of Clarinda can learn
from her lesson in municipal admins
tration.

The student missionary uprising

of cOunteracting the perils of our mod

The headquarters of the Student
Volunteers are in New York City. F..

John X. Mott is chairman of the exec
utive committee. Travelling secreta-
ries are sent out by the administra-

TO present the claims of social serv-

four years a convention is held.
These representative gatherings
of Christian students. held anywhere

At the recent convention held in
