CANADIAN CHURCHES
To FORGET CREEOs
AND FIGHT TOGETHER
(By Associated Press1

CHICAGO, July 1O.-The union OF
he Congregational, Methodist and
Presbyterian churches in Canada was
predicted in an address before the
World Convention of Christian En-
deavor workers here today, by the
Rev. W. H. Barraclough, of st. John,
N. B. "The union" he said, lis only a
matter Of time. Practical union has
already been affected in certain col
lege centers, and the great working
departments of the various bodies
have introduced a wise measure of CO.
operation and are harmonizing their
methods and plans so as to secure
greater efficiency.
THE conditions existing in Canada
today demanded it. Our rapid develop
ment-Canada is growing as no nation
has ever grown; the battle for the
closing of the barroom, the fight for
clean politics; these and many other
problems make it imperative that in
some fashion or other, the ranks of
our divided Professionalism should draw
closely together. The union of our de-
nominations is inevitable. While the
church courts are wrestling with the
legal aspects of the question, the peor
pie are getting ready for it,"

poor chap acted as though he felt pref

Poor fellow! No doubt he used his

not worthy to be called wife. But who

WATERED SECURITIES
BY Petcr Radford.

Much has been said and more writ
ten about the evils of watered stock In
big business concerns and the farm
ers of this nation believe that every
dollar written into the life Of any
business organization, should be able
to say 81 know that my Redeemer
nveth." but farming Is the biggest
business on earth, and there Is more
water In it's financial transaction than
that of any other industry. There is
as much water in farmers note
drawing eight or ten per cent interest
when other lines of industry secure
money for four or five per cent per
annum, as there is in business pay
ing a reasonable compensation upon
senting an investment of only fifty
cents on the dollar. The only diff
ference is, the water Is In the interest
rate in one instance and in the secur-
tiles in the other.
The promoter ofttimes takes chances
and his success is contingent upon
the development of the property in
volved but the usurer, as rule, takes
no chances and his success cripples
the property involved. There may be
industries that cry louder but none
that suffer more severely from f1nan-
DIAL immortality in both law and Gus
tom than that of agriculture.
The farmers Of America today are
paying $20O,000,0OO per annum In
usury on real estate and chattel
loans, and this interest capitalized
at five per cent, represents $4.000,0O0,-
900 of fictitious values which the farm
er Is paying interest on. This sum of
money is almost equal to the annual
value Of crops produced in the United
States.
The earning power Of the farmers
note based upon his interest rate very
nearly divides likes the earth's sur
face-three-fourths water and one
fourth land. The largest body of wa
ter that floats upon the financial hem
isphere now rests upon the farms
and its waves are dashing and its
pillows are rolling against seven mill
lion homes threatening ruin and dis
aster to the prosperity Of the nation.
Will our public servants who under
stand how to drain the liquid off in

as they were for stringency. Sims
said that INSTRUMENTATION was the

StOuffer did not intend resistance TO

FRENCH TROOPS

Roll Back German Posts East
of ManOnviIIer = Artillery
COmbatS Mark Fighting on
February 9.


PARIS, Feb. 1O.-A slight gain for
the French troops in Lorraine is
claimed in an official communique is
sued here this afternoon. 1t says that
northeast of Manonviller a French
detachment rolled back some German
posts.
Fighting on Tuesday was confined
generally TO artillery combats, which
were of particular violence in the
Aisne front and in Champagne.
The report follows:
The day of Feb. 9 was marked by
some artillery cOmbats, which were of
very great intensity at certain points
on the front particularly in the Aisne
and in Champagne.
only one infantry action of slight
Importance was reported
In Lorraine To the northeast Of
Manonyiller, where one of our detach-
ments rolled back the enemy's posts
from RemanbOis To Leintrey."
British Make Slight Gain.
A slight gain for the British north
east Of Ypres. in West Flanders, is
reported in dispatch from St. Omer,
which says
1t had become necessary for the
British to eVacuate some of their
trenches because they became SO foul
and insdnitary that they were unten-
able. Troops armed with picks and
ShOvelS were. sent forward at night
and a new line of works were begun
a little in advance OF the former
trenches The next night the works
were completed and they were occu-
pied under the fire of German artil-
lery. IL was exciting and dangerous
work but the British soldiers threw
themselves into the task with the
hearty enthusiasm which has marked
all their labors.
Numerous artillery duels were re-
ported all along the line. ii is now
learned that the massing of fresh
French reserves around scissors was
responsible for the bombardment of
that city by the Germans on the Aisne
German aerial scouts reported the
French troop movements and soon the
kaiser's artillery was throwing shells
not only into SoissOns but on both
sides and behind the town At one
time scissors was on FIRE and the
dense clouds of black smoke which
rolled heavenward gave the Germans
good target.
Deadlock i'm AlSace
In the Argonne and in the district
northeast of Amieus Germans attacks
OF more or less intensity took place
