five MILLIONS !.
OF |LL|7ERA1'|Es'

WASHINGTON, April. 2.-There are
100000 men, women and children
over ten years of age in this country
who cannot read or write, is the start
ling statement contained in a report
issued by the House committee on
education, which favored a bill to
appropriate $4,000 to enable, the fed
eral commissioner of education "to
devise methods and promote plans for
the elimination Of adult ilnteracy in
the United States This bill failed to
pass: the last Congress, although it
was urged that the millions of litter
ates would be reduced to one per cent
of the population within ten years.
In favoring this appropriations the
committee on education says:
Fully half of these illiterates are
young men and women with many
years of life yet before them to be
lived out with the handicap of total
illiteracy, unless, they are encouraged
and assisted to throw off the burden.
With proper encouragement and help
most or all Of these would learn to
read or write and to do simple practi-
cal problems in arithmetic. Many Of
them would do much more. They
would then be better citizens and more
profitable to themselves, <to society,
and to the Industrial world" !.
In addition, to the more than 5000
900 illiterates, it is shown by figures
prepared by government experts that
there are in the United States 5000
900 or 20,000,00O men and women who
can barely read or write. - Z :: -

BRIDGEPORT, O., April April
i the Endurance Contest between the
Eastern Ohio coal miners and coal
operators rounded out full year, of
Father Time. The miners have braved
the hardships of the past IL months
on less than half rations and con-
tented themselves with remodeled
clothes until woman's skill can no
longer make the thread-bare garments
suffice. However, they are just as
determined today as when they en-
tered the fight,
Operators Worrying.
The operators are wondering what
the result will be if the strike is not
soon settled: The season for shipping
coal to the lakes opens April Is. This
trade which consumes practically the
entire output of the eastern Ohio
mines will be lost if a settlement is
not made.
Business interests in the entire Sec
ton are feeling the result Of the shut
down. The miners place the blame
for this condition on the shoulders OF
the operators, citing that in Ohio the
mine run system has already been
adopted by many operators and that
it is working out satisfactorily.
The men claim that no agency ought
to compel them to sacrifice better
ment that has been gained after 20
years of effort. The unionists also
point to the effort to have the mine
run law repealed. This bilh has pass
ed the Senate, being introduced in
that body by Senator Gallagher. The
miners say that even though the law
is repealed they will not return to the
pits unless they can have the, same
conditions that two thirds Of the min
ers of the state are now enjoying
Several. companies have broken
from the operators pact in the south
eastern district and it is believed this
represents the beginning Of: the lend.
The miners are asking assistance from
all union men to aid them in carrying
on the struggle until complete victory
is achieved. -

GERMANY'S ENVOY.

New York, June 4.-Dr. Meyer
Gerhard, who is understood to be the
special agent Ambassador Bernstorff
is sending to Berlin, sailed yesterday
on the steamer United States for
Copenhagen, it became known here
today.
DR.. Gerhard's accommodations
aboard the vessel were engaged by
wire less than two hours before sail
ing time, and he reached the pier
about five minutes before the vessel
cast off. He carried documents bear
ing the official seal of Great Britain,
Russia, and France giving him guar
antee against molestation by officers
of the allies warships.
DR.. Gerhard booked from New
York city. He carried in addition
to the official document signed by
representatives of the allies govern
ments, official papers signed by
American, German and Austrian au-
thorities, the nature of which was
not ascertainable today. 1t was as
sumed, however, the Austrian and
German documents were his creden-
tials to the German government.
DIR. Gerhard is chief Privy Coun-
cillor of the German Empire and
since the beginning of the war has
been in America representing the
German Red Cross.

THE SABBATH NIGHT SERVICE.

Last Sabbath night the first SER
vice of the union services Of the diff
ferent churches resolved on for the
summer, was held in the Seceder
church at half past eight o'clock.
The sermon was preached by Rev.
NJ. R. Plaxco and what he had to say
pleased the large audience present.
After the sermon the different
ministers of the city extended a cor
dial welcome to the young preacher,
assuring him of their sincere pleas
ure at having him in Abbeville and
bespeaking for him the sympathy and
good will of the people of our city.
Mr.. Plaxco's remarks in reply to
this kind welcome were appropriate
and spoken from the heart of a
young man taking up a high ealing
and a new work.

THE MINISTERS UNION.

The ministers of the churches of
the city formed a Ministerial Union
last Monday. The meeting was held
in Rev. S. o. Cantey's study and a
temporary organization was affected
by the election of Rev. H. w. Pratt
as chairman and Rev. M. R. Plaxco
as secretary.
The first business was the perfec-
tion of the plans by which the
churches of the city will hold union
services every Sunday night during
the summer months, instead of once
a month as was the custom during
the winter. The first service was
held last Sunday night in the A. R..
P. church and the following schedule
will be adhered to hereafter: The
first Sunday in the A. F.. P. church !;
the second Sunday, in the Methodist
church; the third Sunday, in the
Baptist church and the fourth in the
Presbyterian church. This will
Tighten the work of the pastors and
of the different choirs.
The ministers Union will meet the
first Monday in each month and the
pastors of the different churches
near town will be invited to join
with the Abbeville ministers.

A ZEPPELIN DESTROYED.

A Zeppelin dirigible, manned by a
crew of 2s and thought to be return
ing from a raid on the east coast of
England, has been blown up in Bel
gian territory. The feat was accom-
plished with a monoplane driven by
a youthful Canadian aviator, R. A..
J. Warneford, on the probationary
list as a sub-lieutenant in the royal
navy.
Sighting the Zeppelin, he took to
the air, and, climbing 5000 feet,
dropped six explosive bombs with
such precision that the dirigibles was
soon afiame. 1t fell crashing into
an orphanage near Ghent, its entire
crew perishing as we'll as several of
the orphanage inmates. This is the
incident which stands out in the
world war.
