Raising Money for Orphans

The Episcopal church. through it's con-
 mittee on relations of that church and
 the eastern orthodox churches, is push ing a task to send money to the church in Servia for the relief. through it, of children who are left wholly penniless often parentless. The committee is head ed by the Bishop of Harrisburg, and its treasurer Is Charles G. Saunders, 95 Milb street, Boston, a member of the commit tee, and long prominent on the floor of the house of deputies of the Episcopal general convention as deputy from Massa- chusetts. For purposes of this Servian relief additional members of the commit tee include the Bishops of Chicago, West
 ern Massachusetts, Washington, Ohio Southern Ohio and Pittsburg.
 Contributions are being sent to Arch
 bishop Dimitri of Belgrade, who is the
 metropolitan. or head of the church of
 Servia. and to Archbishop Mitrofan, whc is head of the church of Montenegro
 About 5000 has already been forwarded
 Madame Slavko Grouitch, wife of the
 Servian under secretary of foreign af-
 fairs. is in this country and is cooper

Madame Grouitch is an American woman by birth The committee reports that Servia has been many times raided and robbed The first rounds took out of the country the men and the horses and the next few the women and chickens.

Special Meetings in West

Protestant ministers whose names are known. and who live in Pttsburg, Cleve- land, Richmond, and all cities east of these, especially in Washington. Philadel- phia, New York and Boston, are in re- ceipt just now of invitations in large numbers to preach and speak in middle west, Rocky Mountain and Pacific coas st cities on dates from June to October next. The activity of these western cities in getting up conventions. in planning special services in their churches, in ar ranging summer conferences, is beyond anything ever known before. Many of of the ministers are accepting the invi- tations, or a few of the invitations at least, so that tho ministerial movement to the west this summer promises to break all records.
 Early as 1t is. the first of the summer conference programmes have already ap- peared. Without exception they say there will this year be no exodus to Europe. and that therefore big plans are making for crowds from the east. The eastern conferences likewise make public expec- tation of crowds from the west and south. Chatauquas are springing up in vast numbers. Railroads are offering stop over privileges in unprecedented numbers. Pastors of churches in eastern cities are figuring as excursion party managers, many of them getting their own trans- portat1on Tree or at reduced rates, and booking their congregations in the mass for Yellowstone park and Grand Canyon special train parties.
 The invitations to these eastern min isters of note are coming from all coast and Rocky Mountain cities. Seattle and Los Angeles leading, but middle west and Mississippi cities, whose pastors want ia nous preachers for their pulpts on Sun- days this summer, include almost all from i o St Irnllic and NaW Orleans Some of these would seem not to intend taking vacations this summer dates asked for covering both July and August.

The Land of Bachelors
grom the Manchester Guardian.

From the Manchester Guardian.
 England is the land of bachelors, so there is plenty of material for our new army without any of the married men Indeed we could safely exempt not only the married, but the betrothed, and still raise an army of 5eo,0O0, assuming, as we sorely may, that only one man in two between the ages of 20 and 5 is physi- caily fit One works it out in this way: In England and Wales alone there are 4.1500oo men between the ages of 20 and 8 and over 250,000s of them are bach eiors. To give the round figures, between the ages of 20 and 9 there are 1,275.000 bachelors to 2T5,000 married men from 2 to 90 there are 10000 bachelors to 15G.00o married men (half and half), and from 90 to g. there are 375.00 bachelors to 1,0o9.000 married men. This gives us oilr total of 2.25o.000 bachelors of all re- cruitable ages in England and Wales alouA

No Massacres Expected


 No Massacres Expected The reports say the Sultan and his gov ernment will flee into Asia and the Rev. pr. G. F. Herrick, for 52 years resident in Turkey and now here veteran mis- sionary of the American board retired after many years, declares there will be no massacres of Christians. He says the Turks will be so solicitous for their own lives that they will not stop to take
 the lives of other people. He declares 1 they will race across the Bosphorus as I fast as they can.
 The government and most of the Mo- ! hammedan peoples. even the peoples of | Adrianople, will go to Broussa. This Is prosperous and beautiful city lying on tableland at the foot of the lthynian olympus mountains, and fronting a vast plain of Anatolia that is a carden spot of the world. The Olympus range les just south of the Sea of Marmora .5rous- sa was the first Turkish capital, dating
 as such from 1926. Here were made the plans of the campaign which resulted in
 European victories and here lie buried

The Sultan will have, it would seem, more peaceful place of residence than Constantnople has been. at least in recent years. Business Is brisk, and there are developments of transportation, of schools, of manufactures, such as Ameri- cans seldom think of possible in these Asiatic cities. The population is S0000, aud increasing in almost the ratio of western American city. The near compile ton of the Bagdad railroad will help Rroussa. although the city is not on it's direct line
 Adrianope also the place sf burial of Turkish Sultans, is city

 Constantinople has. as most people
 know, Christian colleges that are of inn mcnse advantage to the waose near east.
 The most famous of these is Robert col lege situated directly upon the shores of the Bosphorus, and on the Asatic side ill what is locally known as Scutari. Here also are missions of the American board. ard the headquarters or the Isevant agency of the American Bible society.
 But the open port for Russian wheat, the great railway line to Asia that is to use the Bagdad route, and the change Of Constantinople from an Islam to a Christian city, all these are of less in- terest to many at least, than the restora- ton of St. Sophia to Christian worship, after It's strange history of more than three centuries and a half. Agreement will surely be had as to what religious body shall hold it's control. The predic- tion IS made, however, that it will be

1t has been the understanding since
the cabinet was formed that the Presi.

problems before the administration

vice and assistance OF every membsr OF
his cabinet. When he did take action
however. the responsibility would be
his own. whether he succeeded or
