SHORTAGE IN PREACHERS
is ACUTE IN GERMANY
Suggested That Wounded Army Of
icers Study Theology, But Idea
Is Found Faulty.
Correspondence of the Associated Press

Correspondence of the Associated Press
BERLIN. September 1.-THE peren-
NAL subject of the scarcity of clergy
men has recently been enlivened by
somebody's suggestion that wounded
officers who are no longer able to serve
at the front take up the study of the
ology. To this proposal, however, the
objection is raised that "the Office of
Il clergyman requires spiritual endow-
mcnts seldom to be found in officers,
else they would never have yielded to
their desire to become officers"
Meanwhile the scarcity of clergymen
Is growing greater and Is expected to
become still more pronounced 1t is
mentioned that the sons of clergymen
no longer choose the ministry as their
calling to the same extent as some
years ago. Fifteen years ago there
were still 344 clergymens sons study
ing theology at the. universities to
every 100000 clergymen, but by 1915
the number had already dropped to
2s3.
1t is said that owing to the lack OF
clergymen, many churches in villages
are being attached to others in larger
towns. after which they have coca
sional services held by the clergymer
from those more important churches
Not only is the tendency of young men
to choose other callings than the min.
istry. but even those who choose il
show a marked inclination later on to
switch off into something else. 1t is
noted that nearly one third of the reg.
ular school inspectors in Prussia are
former clergymen. and not few min
listers also have abandoned their cali
ing to take positions in teachers sem

SHIP COSTING S325,OOO
IS SOLD FOR $500, 900
Profit of $275, 900 on Single Steamer
Shows Extent Of Shipping Boom
Now on Abroad.

Correspondence of the Associated Press
LONDON, September 1.-THE steamer
Maritime, 5,536 tons, which was the
North German Lloyd steamer Schliesien
before she was captured as a British
price of 100000. an increase of $685.
900 over her price Of six months ago.
A profit of S275,000 on a ship costing
s325.000 indicates the extent of the
present shipping boom. Even a half
year ago vessels were selling at a
premium. But the present boom
breaks all records in the history of
shipping.
There have been other sales as re-
markable of late. One steamer, which
was bought for S22J,00 at the begin
ming of the war. changed hands a,
$500, 900. A Copenhagen owner who last
January bought a 4.234-ton steamer for
s41.500 resold her this month fol-
S200, 900.
These vessels are freighters and not
passenger vessels. Except when let tC
the government on charters as trans
ports. passenger ships are not particu.
iarly profitable But the exaggerated
price for freighters, often far exceed
ing the cost price of superannuated
ships, is due to the expectation of huge
profits.
The clean sweep from the seas OF
German and Austrian vessels, aggre.
eating over 100000 tons. left an un.
precedented chance to rivals. Neutra
countries. especially the Scandinavian
countries, have had the advantage oveI
England and France, owing to theil
comparative immunity from submarine
attacks.

RIOT OF COLOR GREETS
VIRGINIA CAPITAL TODAY
Ancient and Honorable Artillery
Company Of Boston Guest Of Rich
mond Light Infantry Blues.

The rainbow has nothing on Rich
mond. Va. today. Any visitors to the
Virginia metropolis did well to take
amber-colored goggles with them, for
the Richmond Light Infantry Blues
the famous and gorgeously appareled
military organization of that city. is
today entertaining the members of the
Ancient and Honorable Artillery Com
pany of Boston at barbecue. Any one
who has ever seen both of these or
CARNATIONS in full regalia can imagine
the riot of color that will prevail when
their members mingle around the roast
sucking pigs. The artillerymen. who
form the Oldest military organization
in the western hemisphere, passed
through Washington yesterday after
noon to return a visit paid them three
years ago by the Blues, body itself
more than a century old. Each year
the members. who are mostly business
men of wealth and prominence, take a
trip to some historical spot.
The Ancient and Honorable Artillery
Company of Boston is the only recog-
nized offspring of the world-famous
company of the same title of London,
whose "captain-general' is always the
King of England or the Prince of
Wales. The latter body was organized
centuries ago, and was composed of
longbowmen and matchbox artists. in
addition to cannoneers. At present it
includes infantry as we'll as artillery.
Its dress uniforms are difficult to dis
tinguish from those of the British
Foot Guards, consisting of scarlet
tunic, black trousers, white facings and
tremendous bearskin shakos. The garb
Of the Massachusetts company, estab-
lished in 1888 by colonists who had been
members of the London organization,
ana later officially reCORnfZe0 as a
branch thereof. is modelled along these
lines. Two years ago the company
went to London and was deliberately
entertained by the parent body.

CONSUL AT MUNICH RESIGNS.
Thomas Gaffney Denies He Gave Of
Tense to British.

PARIS, October 4.-Thomas st John
Gaffney, United States consul general
at Munich, Germany. has announced
that he will resign in accordance with
a request from Washington. but that
he will ask an investigation of his
case. This information is contained in
a Havas dispatch from Geneva. which
says it was received there in a message
from Berlin.
Mr.. Gaffney was asked to resign be-
cause of his partisan utterances on the
European war. He is accused of being
a strong German partisan and of being
antiBritish. although responsible for
the administration of British affairs in
his consulate.
Mr.. Gaffney denied he had given Of
Tense to the British colony in Munich
or that his conduct had been such that
he could be justly criticised.

The big man wiped his eyes savagely
and crashed his heavy little fists down
on the table with an ejaculation. Then
he rose and kissed the girls hand and
said something in a rough. cultural

GERMANS REORGANIZE
OCCUPIED POLISH CITIES
Latter Now Enjoy Corporate Rights
and Have Many New Privileges.
Jews Appointed to Offices.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
LODI. Poland, September 16.-Great
changes in methods of municipal ad-
ADMINISTRATION have been made here and
generally in the occupied Polish cities
by the German military administration.
The occupation found the cities exist
ing, so far as communal government is
concerned. under conditions much like
those in France and Prussia under the
o-called ancient regime" of more than
a century ago.
The so-called Citizens committees"
which were, in some cities, appointed
BY the retreating Russians to take the
places of the Russian officials who had
pointed on the initiative of the inhab-
itants, did good work, but were ham,
pered by the lack of a solid foundation
on which to build. The Germans. there
fore. as soon as it became possible to
do so, reorganized the whole system O.:
municipal administration.
This reorganization has been based
on the municipal plan of Baron Won
fury been the basis on which Prussian
municipalities have been administered.
The reorganization of the finances has
been based on the plans of Won Miguel,
from 1890 to 1901 Prussian minister of
finance.
Distribution Of the Offices.
The cities are governed by a mag
istracy and alderman, appointed from
the citizens by the German authorities.
The Poles. as the most numerous race,
occupy a majority of these positions.
but Jews, so far as position and ca
pacity permit, have also been appoint
ed. German residents have naturally
also been given places in proportion to
their numbers and economic impor-
lance.
The cities enjoy corporate rights
which were denied to them under the
Russian rule-and can issue loans, ac
quire property, impose taxes, and, In
brief, do all things necessary to the
proper development of city.

final sermon of the retreat. The priest
selected as his subject the aim and OBJ
ject of the society-honor and Venera-
ton of the holy name of Jesus He de-
plofed the prevalence of profanity
among men, and urged a crusade
against obscenity and disrespect to the
holy name.

The ability to use the English Ian

the inability to make the language ex-

SUCCESS WITH SMALL FRUIT
knowledge Of Market Requirements,
Executive Ability and Experi-
ence Are Necessary.

To successfully harvest and market
a crop Of small fruit requires business
ability of no mean order.
Because a person is successful in
growing fruit it does not necessarily
imply that he will make a success of
the harvesting and selling part of the
business. Still there is nothing about
the work that should discourage the
uninitiated.
The principal characteristics called
into play are, a knowledge Of market
requirements, executive ability, expe-
rience and knowledge as to the char
acteristics Of the different kinds and
varieties of fruits
One of the first things to consider
is the market, whether local. semi
local or distant For long-distance
shipping. only those varieties that are
noted for firmness and long-keeping
qualities should be used. and these
must be picked before they are at
their highest state of ripeness.
With nearby or local markets, how
ever, the question becomes one of size
and quality rather than one of firm
ness though firmness Is desirable in
any case. It is often an advantage to
grade strawberries and IL this is done
It should be done by the pickers as
they are removed from the vines. The
grade should be made uniform
throughout the package, but the top
layers may be turned calyx down.
greatly enhancing the attractiveness
of the fruit. The package should be
full
To oversee a dozen or fifteen pick
ers is no small task. To secure the
best work the overseer should be in
the field among the pickers. Among
the number will be those who will
need watching. 1t is a good plan to
reward the faithful ones at the close
of the season. In general. generous
treatment in dealing with pickers is
returned four-fold in better service
rendered.
The growers whose style of culture
is up-to-date. that is to say. plenty of
room for each plant SO that the ber-
ries are large and no weeds or grass
in the way. so that the berries may
be easily and quickly gathered. will
usually have no trouble in securing
pickers. He has first choice for of
course. every one will want to pick
where picking is best.
Picking berries Is at best tedious,
back-aching job. 1t takes grit to stick
to it day by day. hence 1t is that the
task should be made as agreeable as
possible.
