depression. The reaction from national
policies in the way of railway con-
struction and other public improve
ments on a vast scale was on. The
reflex effect was felt In all kinds or
private enterprises.
The end of this national railway
policy is not yet in sight. Government
aid has been extended for the construc-
tion of transcontinental lines far ahead
of the transportation needs for years
to come. All this had been done in
response to public sentiment, but that
did not ease the strain when the f1nan-
cia1 crisis came.

in the development of the Canadian
out more funds for that purpose until
the northwest had begun to catch up
with what already had been done, so.
even before the war storm broke, the
London money market practically was
closed to Canadian borrowers. It Is
still closed except to a very limited
extent.
Canada also found her income from

Canadians were very heavily inter

made as to the amount of their losses

enormous.
South America, and particularly
Brazil, had been remunerative field

outbreak of hostilities Brazil was in
the midst of a severe financial and
commercial crisis which was rendered
more acute by the war While no heavy
losses have been incurred in these
Brazilian investments, they have not

what was once suit, and look more
like cornfield scarecrows than human
beings.
One Sunday night a man came here
CARRIED in rags, which put together
wouldn't have made much more than a
good sized dustcloth. He had been OBJ
liged to walt in the outskirts Of the
city before he could even venture into
town because of his appearance. We
logged him out, gave him some work
to do. and finally succeeding in getting
him to forget his appetite for liquor.
Now he holds a position of trust here
in the city"

stood by the men who were once his
yolk-fellows in misfortune, was asked
what happened to the visitors whose
too exuberant spirits caused them to
interrupt service, his characteristic re-
ply was:
Why we just walk 'em around the
block until they know enough to be-
have themselves. A man has never fall
en- SO low but what we will try to help
him. and the mere fact that he momen-
tarily halted the singing or testimo-
mails wouldn't cause us to throw him

charitable treatment will penetrate
even his befogged mind. and when he
sobers up he will remember what hap

I'VE can't just argue him into chang

logically reason with men who are
at mentally and physically. Very
often we have to resort to strategy.
For instance, we will keep a man at
the mission for several days or a
week under some pretext or other, and
to accomplish this. If necessary, we
will keep him under lock and key.
This is done in order to let his fierce
appetite for drink die down long

self will do more to convince the down
and-outer that there is chance for
him than anything else"
While speaking of the different types
Mr. Bennett referred to the pan
handler" and the periodical drunkard."
He said:
THE panhandler' wends his way
toward a mission, not because he has
any desire to reform. but simply be-
cause he will be taken in nowhere
else. He is down about as far as 1t is
possible for man to go. and has
reached the stage where he would
rather beg few pennies on the street
than 20 to work. He is the hardest
sort to get back into shape. But it
can be done.
Not SO many weeks ago just such
a fellow came to the mission. His
very hungry. He told me he had been
living in the woods in Virginia for
some time. After we had fed, cleaned
and clothed him. he told US about him
he had bachelor of arts degree. and
that he had had a most promising fu-
ture before drink got hold Of him. He
was extremely earnest in his desire to
cut out drink and amount to some
thing and SO we gave him work
around the mission at a small salary.
He brought in several friends who
needed the same assistance we had
given him, and later he was offered
a splendid position in Philadelphia,
which he accepted.
ION the other hand, there are the
men who come to the mission only after
the barrooms are closed. and who do
not look upon 1t as refuge. but rather
as another resort They are the SKINS
the 'no-gooders.' the incorrigib1e vaga-
bonds who wriggle through life with
out responsibility. I look 'em over, and

Der. Just last night fellow in this
class came in and told a pitiful story
about having no place to put his weary
head. l was suspicious. and SO l
searched him. much as detective does
a suspect, and sure enough, my hand
struck something hard under his coat,
and 1t was the inevitable bottle I sup
pose, from an outsiders standpoint. he
was without a single redeeming fea-
ture. and yet he had a soul to lose and
save.
IF only had the time and could be
given the space to tell about the horde
of outcasts who have been saved in mis-
sions- 1t would be seen that no matter
how sin-mauled a man may be- there is
still hope for him. Some Of the men

promised to come for you until l

you here. Mr.. Selwin went home
about 9 o'clock and I dropped in at

My cheeks burned as 1 thought of

evening with Dick. What must Jim

is so tired that he can do nothing
but go to bed right after dinner to re-
cuperate.

going to invite some people in and

himself on the question of being with

I went to the phone and called up
Dick.

WELSH SUCCESSFULLY
DEFENDS his TITLE
Charlie white Fails 20 Come Up to
Expectations and Is Oatpointed
BY Champ.

Brighton Beach, N. r, July a.
Freddie Welsh. the lightweight cham
pion OF the world. showed that he is
still to be reckoned with in his
division by clearly outpointing
Charlie White. of Chicago. in a ten
round bout al the Brighton Beach
racetrack tonight. Welsh put up the
best fight OF any OF his recent ex-
Ihlbitions. and by beating his man to
the punch, gave the Ch.cagoan no
chance 10 set and land his famous left
hook on the few occasions on which
White tried that punch. The f3ritisher
had perfect defense. and the wicked
hook was carried off by the cham.
pion's right arm.
From the opening round Welsh car
ried the fight to White. and though
there was no steam TO his punches.
the persistency with which he land-
ed his left jab had Whites nose bleed
ing early In the fray.
Whites best showing. was in the
fourth round when he went after his
man hard. and the left hook landed.
though partially blocked. He showed
more aggressiveness in this round and
was entitled to an even break. In
the sixth round White landed a hard
right on weish's eye, but 1t was one
blow to- twenty which the Champion
delivered cleanly.

Eddie Porray pitched one OF the

been an easy out. In addition, he
struck out ten batters and gave only
one base on balls.
