The latest military regulations allow
of no new residence permits within

Action of Episcoralian Vicar in Eng

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
LONDON, July 24.-In view of the
social and religious gulf between the
Church of England and the non-con-
formist churches. the decision of the
vicar Of Wendover to give the other
Protestant sects equal representation in
the parish ma gazine. has excited wide
comment in England. The Angelica n
Church does not join in religious COM
munion with the other Protestant
churches on the ground they are not n
part of the original Catholic Church
and their ministers are, at least in the
high church view, merely preaching
laymen. Moreover. the established
church is connected by blood and senti-
mental bonds with the aristocracy. But

over. not only invited contributions
from the Congregationalists, Metho-
dists. Baptists and other denominations,
but pblishes their meeting notices in

Formal Rights Conceded.

"If one takes into consideration the

the government of the United States
apparently rests the present case. and
the wording of which. will not be
denied, offers a formal basis for the
/ federation of the trade in war materials

States, 1t is not necessary to point out
in order to realize the true spirit and
range of this stipulation, which Incl
dentally seems to have been modified
already by prohibiting the delivery of
warships and certain supplies for war
ships of belligerent countries-that the
various rights as conceded to neutral
countries in the spirit of the preamble
of the last-named convention are linn
tied by the requirements of neutrality

principles of international law. Ac-
cording to all the authorities on inter

PARIS, August The morning papers
of this city generally print reviews OF
the first year of the War, with statements
from prominent men. Tie Petit Parisien
quotes Rene Niviani, the French premier
as follows:
"One year has rolled away since the

The Petit Parisien quotes Alexandra
Ribot minister of finance, as saying:

have given proofs of the same heroic
courage, some facing death and others

from the fact that a very extensive

THE SHIPPING BILL.

The administration is meeting with
determined resistance, not confined en-
tirely to Republicans, in its attempt to
force through the bill for the purchase
and operation by the government of mer-
chant ships. President Wilson is finding
in the closing session of this Congress
that his ferule has lost its terrors for
many of his unruly senators and con-
gressmen. His power is waning.
The Boston Globe sums up the PROPOSE
ton of government ownership of mer-
chant ships concisely. 1t says:
Whereas private business cannot
make profit, the government certainly
could not do so. When the government
enters business, it is to render services
which the public requires and cannot
otherwise get, and to render them what
ever. the cost. Nobody expects govern
ment operations to be economical; if
they result in deficit, as with the post
Office, the public accepts it because the
public benefits by the service.
1T is highly probable that government
ships, if they were able to get the trade,
would handle it only at loss. But it
would not be for service rendered to
the whole people, but to the exporters
and importers; in practice it would be
taxing the whole people for the good of
part.
"More than this, it would force pri-
vate enterprise out of foreign shipping
instead of drawing it in, and so would
defeat its own ends.''

FARMER RADFORD ON
WOMAN SUFFRAGE

The home is the greatest contribu.
ton of women to the world, and the
hearthstone is her throne. Our So
cial structure is built around her, and
social righteousness is in her charge.
Her beautiful life lights the skies of
hope and her refinement is the charm
of twentieth century civilization. Her
graces and her power are the cumu-
latlve products of generations of
queenly conquest, and her crown of
exalted womanhood is jeweled with
the wisdom of sanity mothers. She
has been great factor in the glory
of our country, and her noble achieve
ments should not be married or her
hallowed influence blighted by the
coarser duties of citizenship. Ameri-
can chivalry should never permit her
to bear the burdens of defending and
maintaining government, but should
preserve her unsullied from the allied
influences of politics, and protect her
from the weighty responsibilities of
the sordid affairs of life that will
crush her ideals and lower her stand
ards. The motherhood of the farm
is our inspiration, she is the guardian
of our domestic welfare and 9 guide
to a higher life, but directing the af-
fairs of government is not within wo-
mans sphere, and political gossip
would cause her to neglect the home,
forget to mend our clothes and burn
the biscuits.

THE COUNTY FAIR
By Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers Union


The farmer gets more out of the
fair than anyone else. The fair to
city man is an entertainment; to a
farmer it is education. Let us take a
stroll through the fair grounds and
linger moment at few of the points
OF greatest interest. We will first
visit the mechanical department and
hold communion with the worlds
greatest thinkers.
You are now attending congress of
the mental giants in mechanical sci
ence OF all ages. Fhey are addressing
you in tongues of iron and steel and
in language mute and powerful tell an
eloquent story of the worlds progress.
The inventive geniuses are the most
valuable farm hands we have and
they perform an enduring service to
mankind. We can all help others for
a brief period while we live, but it
takes master mind to tower into the
realm of science and light a torch of
progress that will illuminate the path
way of civilization for future genera
lions. The men who gave us the
sickle, the binder, the cotton gin and
hundreds of other valuable inventions
work in every field on earth and will
continue their labors as long as time
Their bright intellects have conquered
death and they will live and serve
mankind on and on forever, without
money and without price. They have
shown us how grand and noble it is
to work for others; they have also
taught US lessons in economy and eff
cheney, how to make one hour do the
work of two or more; have length
ened our lives, multiplied our
opportunities and taken toll off the
back of humanity.
They are the most practical men
the world ever produced. Their in
ventions have stood the acid test of
utility and efficiency. Like all useful
men, they do not seek publicity yet
millions of machines sing their praises
from every harvest field on earth and
as many plows turn the soil in mute
applause of their marvellous achieve
ments.
