LONDON FULL OF WAR SPIRIT,


London.-Two months ago a London
newspaper described England as "a ma
ton half awake" and contrasted the
unrufied aspect OF London life with
the transformation that war had cast
over Paris aud Berlin. Since then Eng
land has become fully awake. This
awakening has been more of an inner
than a surface change, and only those
who know England from within can
realize how great the change has been.
The most remarkable feature OF re
cent British events has been the entire
absence Of excitement with which the
country has passed from a condition of
profound and thoughtless peace TO a
military status which pervades all the
activities of life and seems almost to
have brought upon the scene a harder
and soberer nation Sports, politics,
"socicty"-the three absorbing interests
OF the population three months ago
have disappeared from the columns
OF newspapers, from the talk of the
people. and have almost vanished from
existence.
All that is left OF the absorbing pas
sion for sport is the football games,
and Il majority of the first class pro-
fess!onal teams are drilling in the ter
ritorials and Kitchener army.
And II would be a brave man of mill
tary age who would be seer carrying

NICHOLAS MURRAY BUTLER.

port. 1t Is more than a suggestion.
President Butler presents the physi-
cal examination as an obligation In
these words:
The university is expanding each
year out OF its endowment income Inn
mense sums to supplement the fees
paid for tuition, in order to provide
the best possible facilities for college
and university instruction.
'"The university owes 1t to the pub
Tic and to itself to see to 1t that these
colossal expenditures are made only
upon and In the interest OF those who
are really fit physically, as well as
mentally. to take advantage Of the op-
portunities the university has to offer
and to make appropriate return to the
community In the form of personal
and social service"
"A certificate Of good health is now
required In Columbia college. but Pres
ident Butler fayors a more rigid physi-
cal examination. He likens 1t to that
insisted upon In the case of candidates
for admission to the military and ma
val academies maintained by the gov
ernment OF the United States"
As is well understood, a relatively
large proportion of the applicants for
admission at Annapolis and West
Point are refused as not physically fit.

Rev. Frederick Fuerst pastor of
st. Paul's Lutheran Church at
Haysville, Ind celebrated the
twenty.fifth anniversary of his
ordination as pastor in the Luth-

The day was spent in celebra-
ton of the event. 1t will be an
epoch in the history of the Luth-
eran church in Haysville The
services were held in st. Paul's
church, the interior of which
was magnificently decorated with
roses and ferns.
The morning services began at
9 80 a.. m. at which the Rev.
Philip Frohna of Holland deliver
ed. an eloquent and impressive
sermon. Miss Hulda Frohna
presided at the pipe organ like a
veritable master while the choir
rendered several songs that were
worthy of a highly trained choir.
After the services the trustees
of the church presented Rev.
Fuerst with twenty. five silver
dollars as a token of their appre-
citation of his splendid work
while pastor Of the congrega-
ton.
Then the friends and guests
repaired to John Opel's Hall
where a sumptous repast was
spread for about 300 guests. The
ladies who prepared the banquet
with the skill of a French chef,
received a great deal of praise
and credit which they certainly
deserved.
In the afternoon Rev. William
'Cramm, of Dubois, Ind. deliver
ed an eloquent sermon and Rev.
Paul Thomas of Lamar. Ind,
talked on Foreign Missions in
India At the close of the aft
ernoon services the friends and
congregation again repaired to
'Opel's Hall for a second banquet.
This closed a day of feasting
and celebration that will be re-
membered by those who partici-
.pated for many years. The as
sembled guests and congregation
congratulate the Rev. Fuerst as
a pastor citizen and man of ster-
ling qualities who stands for the
truth and all that is good and
right, and many wishes were ex-
pressed that he might celebrate
his golden anniversary under the
same suspicious conditions.

The Farm Hands WAGES.

To the Editor: Thirty-five
years ago | spent a great deal of
time in the corn belt Of Illinois,
where land was worth from $40
to $50 an acre and corn brought
Is cents per bushel. The farm
hand received $25 per month.
Three years ago | had occasion
to visit the same part of the
country. The same land was
worth from $3.50 to $500 per acre
corn was 60 cents per bushel,
the farmers were blowing with
autos instead of OK teams and
the farm hand was still working
for $25 per month. The farmers
are crying about scarcity of help.
and they always will be until
they offer wages that will attract
good men. The army of unem.
ployed is not made up of the
stuff that constitutes a good farm
