Upon the consciousness OF Christ
endom there is dawning a new test OF
faith. more searching than any ever
devised by the Inquisition Of old This
IS the question. Does Christianity
produce a Just and brotherlv social
order?" Not theological or ecclesiati-
cal. but practical is the new touch
stone Of real religion. There are
hoary abuses in our industrial and
economic and social situation today:
an aroused human consciousness is
asking whether the Church Will cloak
or correct these. Cndeniably masses
Of men have in their own minds in
diCted the Church for completely in
the order Of things as they are This
is not wholly fair. While helping
Christianity to take the forward steps
which the day demands. let us not
forget how far she has already led
the race. An old story is pertinent.
Fifty years aco David Iipscomh was
riding along the road with an inddel

doctor asked: Can YOU tell me one

| better farms. and better society and
better civilization. No country with
out the Bible has ever had q mail

or even a two-horse wagon-tiH the

A lover who does not delight in
the letters Of his beloved IS unthink-

possessed of real spiritual life to whom

cause it reveals the mind Of the

City Solicitor Daniel o. Hastings
this morning sent TO City Auditor Will
liam p White, an opinion sustaining
the legality Of his action in holding
up payment on two bills drawn by the
Board of Education last week for
work done, and supplies furnished the
board in the latter part Of 1914 and
the early part of 1915. In his opinion
Solicitor Hastings sets forth that the
City Auditor acted within his rights
when he refused TO approve bills for
work and supplies of the previous
fiscal year to be paid out of the funds
allowed the board for the present or
current year. Mr. White held up the
bills because. he oontended that un-
der the law, since they we're con-
tracted in the fiscal year 1914-15
they should have been paid out of
Councils appropriation to the board
for that year. and legally could not be
paid out of the appropriation for the
current fiscal year. 1856.

DEMOCRATS TO FORCE

Secretary McAdOo Declares
Auxiliary Fleet Cannot
Come in Any Other Way
REPUBLICANS WILL
KEEP UP PROTEST
BY The United Press.

WASHINGTON. Oct 1.-THE legis-
lative ways have been creased for pas
sage at the coming session of Con-
gress, of a ship purchase bill It be-
came known today that Republican
congressional leaders have intimafed
to the majority heads that they will
merely make a "dignifed protest"
against the measure, and will not re-
sort 10 filibustering tactics again
II is expected the ship purchase bill
will be made the primary business
just as soon as Congress convenes.
It is understood that Secretary Nc
Adoo has already completed the draft
of bill combining features of several
government operation schemes.
Five fundamentally necessary fac
tors require that the government come
to the aid of American shipping, Sec
retary McAdoo declared. These fac
tors, he said. we're.
First Necessity for an auxiliary
/ fleet for the navy-a measure of pre-
paredness in keeping with the govern
ment's plan Of rehabilitating the ma
tons, defenses.
: Second: The necessity for the inn
mediate relief Of American commerce.
so that American shippers and pro-
ducers may not be dependent upon for
eign flags and the exorbitant rates
and insecure routes of an unregulated
merchant marine;
Third. The hopelessness of private
capital coming promptly and vigor-
ously to the relief Of American for.

Fifth: Delay means not only reiec
