diploma after satisfactory examina-
ton; CD The extension of teacher
training by improved literature and
an organized enrolment.
In 1908, at the Louisville -conyen-
ton, Mr. Pearce, having carried for
more than a year the adult depart
ment work with his teacher training
duties, was relieved of the teacher
training, and has since that time been
doing a marvellous work with the adult
department.
In 1911, Mr.. Pearce was elected
dean of the international training
school for secretaries and field work
ers, and in January, 1912, he was
called to become the associate gen
eral secretary. on Jan. ], 1915, he
was put in charge of the educational
department of the international Sun
day School association, and the work
of the home department and the
parents department was added to
that of the adult division and turned
over 10 Mr.. Pearce for supervision.
In the course of a year Mr.. Pearce

province of the United States and
Canada, making many addresses and
attending conferences.
Some School Figures.
During the three months ending
Dec. %. 1914, LAS adult Bible
classes were organized and registered.
These represent 81 denominations and
% associations. This means nearly
100 new classes organized and en-
rolled each Sunday. The average en-
rollment per class was 23 members.
If only one-half of them are new
members il means that each Sunday
1,147 men and women are enrolled la
Sunday school work who had not
been coming. If thrce-fifths of these
are men, il means that 6SS llen are
added TO tn Sunday school member
ship each sunday during the quarter.
The total number of classes en-
rolled and registered to date is 1924,
showing at the time of registration a
membership of lIlA.52t. This IS

Cruz with food supplies. Stores and
banks had not been reopened pending
arrangements for currency circula
ton.
Communications between the capl

was no danger from water famine.

| COMPLICATIONS ARISE BECAUSE
OF THE SUBMARINE ATTACK
ON ORDUNA.
OFFICIALS APPREHENsIvE
Washington Hopes That the German
Government VIII DisavoW Attack
on Cunarder Near the Lusi-
tania's Grave.

Washington-The relations between
the United States and Germany have
now reached SO acute a stage that 1T
is extremely doubtful that the Ameri-
can people will stand for any further
parleying with the German govern
ment over reparation for the loss Of
more than 100 American lives on the
Lusitania and the demands OF this
government for the safety of Ameri-
can lives on the sea. This is the feel
ing here.
Some of the more apprehensive of
ficials here are hoping that Germany
will disavow the attack on the Or.
duna. Coming at time when the
relations between the two countries
were so delicate, it was pointed out,
it could have only one effect on the
American people.
In view of his previous notes to Ger.
many, President Wilson would have
had no alternative but to recall Am.
bassador Gerard at once, officials be-
lieve. il the attack on the Orduna had
been successful. 1t would have con.
stituted an unmistakable answer to
our demands in the Lusitania case,
they say, and would have brought dip.
lomatic negotiations to an abrupt con.
clusion.
The attack on the Orduna is eytSn
graver than that on the Lusitania, in
the opinion of officials, as 1t leaves
the German government no excuse OF
military necessity, such as was offered
in the former case. The Orduna was
bound for an American port and nat,
urally carried no munitions of war.
The destruction of the vessel could in
no way, therefore, advance the mill
tary interests of Germany.

worth of property damaged was the
toll of floods on July 15 and 16 in

were submerged. Mayor Miles Stand

In relief would be asked.
In Columbus both the Scioto and

ton.
A large portion of Kenton was sub

eral houses were washed away and it
is feared number of lives were lost.

For the first time since he fired the
shot that killed Stanford White at the
Madison Square Garden, more than
nine years ago, Thaw was free on
July 16 to go and como as he pleased.
Supreme Court Justice Hendrick, who
presided at the jury proceedings which
ended July IA with verdict that
Thaw was sane, announced from the
bench shortly that he had adopted the
jurys verdict The writ committing
Thaw to Matteawan seven years ago
thereupon automatically became inop-
erative.
The states lawyers appealed from
justice Hendricks decision, and Thaw
was released In $4,000 bail pending
the result of the appeal. Under the
terms Of the bond he is to hold him.
self amenable to the courts orders
until the appeal is finally decided. In
the meantime he may go wherever he
pleases.
In announcing his decision Justice
Hendrick took occasion to comment
unfavorably on the action of ailienists
who had assisted the state in prepar-
ing the case and then appeared as ex-
pert witnesses in court.
II have reached decision in this
case" Justice Hendrick said, "and it
is based on my own mind, fortified by
the action Of the jury"
Thaw, sitting with his counsel, an
ticipated the courts decision with a
broad smile.
What Thaw's attitude would be to-
ward Evelyn Nesbit Thaw was mat
ter of considerable speculation. To
no question, however, bearing on this
point would he return a direct an
swer. When one interviewer asked
him if he expected to see her soon

lily for a few moments and turned

was rendered, in an automobile for

WELSH MINERS ON STRIKE
EngIand's Source of Coal Supply for
Fleet Seriously Threatened by
10000 Miners Quitting.

London.-Except for two small col.
lieries, employing about 500 men, all
South Wales coal mines, from which
comes coal for the navy, are idle and
miners, although the government has
brought the industry under the muni-
tions of war act, decided not to ac-
cept recommendations to continue
work day by day until an arrange
ment could be concluded. This ac-
tion was taken despite entreaties of
labor leaders.
Delegates voting for the strike rep
resented 98,950 men, and those voting
against the strike 41,500. Thus, al
though opposition is divided, the ex-
tremists are in the large majority. The
conference, however, agreed to meet
the president of the Board of Trade,
Walter Runciman, to discuss the sit
uation.
All responsible labor leaders of the
country oppose the strike, and while
it is hard to see how the government
can enforce the penalties of the mu-
nitions act, it is believed the men will
be influenced by the fact that they
are opposing an act passed for the
safety of the country.
The strike has been forced by the
men of the Aberdare Valley, who are
strong syndicalists and have indicated
that this was a good time to force the
government to take over the mines.
This policy has been advocated by the
Independent Labor party, one OF whose
leaders is J. Keir Hardie.
In one district alone 10000 men
struck, defying the governments proc
lamation that the provisions of the
munitions act would be invoked to
prevent cessation of operations. 1t
was estimated that upward of 10000
men were out in all parts of the Welsh
fields
