Detroit, Mich, August 21.-Henry
Fords wealth will be offered to the
world to aid peace movement to op-
pose the spirit of militarism In its
every form and to challenge the
American who shall cry for more ar
mament for this country.
Preparedness is the root of all

turer
Il would teach the child at it's
mothers knee" said Mr., Ford, what
a horrible, wasteful and unavailing
thing war is. In the home and in
the schools of the world / would see
the child taught to feel the useless
ness OF war; that war is thing un-
necessary; that preparation for war
can only end in war.
"This l will make a world work,
for all the world cries for peace and
there can be no peace while there re-
mains one set OF these militaristic
agitatOrs who encourage war, who
damn all those whose idea of patriot
ism and love of their fellowmen does
not call for arming brother against
brother"
'"The seed Of this project is right
here in the Ford organization and in
hundreds of organizations through
out the country. We have to devel-
op it and nourish its growth.
Il will assist the worker to edu-
cate his children from the cradle to
think only in terms of peace, to hate
war and all its accoutrements, and
strive forever to drive from the world
this spirit Of murder, destruction and
chaos"
Mr. Ford is working on his plans

ADVENTISTS Change
field WORK POLICY
Fewer and More Efficient Colporteurs
Favored in Publishing and Mis-
sionary Convention.

A policy of employing fewer colporteurs
of efficiency rather than a larger and
less efficient corps was adopted in the
publishing and home missionary con-
vention now in progress in the general
conference building OF Seventh-day Ad-
ventists in Takoma Park. This means
a radical change in the sending out Of
students from the educational institutions
to engage in cOlporteur work during the
vacation period.
1t was strongly advocated that chair
be established in the schools for the
training of the students in colpOrteur
work, and thus make them acquainted
with their requirements before engaging
in actual field work. 1t was pointed out
that these young people would be Of
better service. and would greatly help
the field agent or superintendent in build
ing up this phase Of the UNCONVENTIONAL
movement, while according to the pres
ent arrangement the field agent generally
has to build up his department after the
close of the vacation season.
The presidents of the schools together
with the teachers will be asked to take
deeper interest in this work and con-
tinually bring to the attention of the
students the importance of engaging in
this work. which. II was contended, is
just as important from a missionary
standpoint as is the work Of the minis
ter
Several speakers favored the building
up of the literature work. Elder n. L.
Town, secretary of the general confer
ence department, said the average
amount of time put in by the colporteurs
throughout North America each week
last year was insignificant in comparison
with the showing made in Great Britain
and Germany.
Elder Town also told OF instances where
certain conferences are making better
success in the distribution of literature
through an efficient force of cOlpOrteurs
than when they had . much, larger force
who were not so efficient He advocated
a more efficient and permanent force. and
declared that the literature work will be
built up on a more solid basis with such
workers rather than with men who drop
out after a short while.
Elder a. ]. Clark. president Of the
Southern Illinois Conference. said he
would rather have one permanent col
pOrteur than five who spent a limited time
in the work.

ONCE MILLIONAIRE,
JAILED AS BEGGAR
Col. W. W. Belden. Who Thought He
Could Down Gould. Sent to Work
house for Soliciting Aims.

New York, Feb. Col William WAYNE
Beldcn, once a millionaire in Wall
Street. was sent to the workhouse to-
day by Magistrate Deuel., who found him
guilty of soliciting aims on the streets.
In numerous deals with Gould and
Fiske, Belden was so successful that
he thought that he could down Gould. He
was. in part responsible for black Fri
day" so well remembered by oId-time
brokers. In the panic he was crushed.
In the years of hard luck that followed
Belden was reduced to washing his own
collars and shirts. SUDDENLY he rose
and had a brief spell OF affiuence. His
brother. Henry, went insane, and in that
condition died. and William BeIden
claimed the estate both under the will
and certain deeds.
Eight years OF litigation between Henry
Belden's heirs and William Belden fol-
lowed. ending in triumph for the heirs.
In June. 1911. the Supreme Court forced
the repayment OF the $4,000 fortune to
Henry Belden's heirs.
William Belden tried to get back from
c. P. Huntington, in 1906, the property at
City Island, known as "Belden's Point
and in this, too, he failed.

The struggle of religion in the different
ages was reviewed by the speaker, who
added We are living in a day when
men no longer challenge the truths of
Christianity, but when men neglect the
church and do not regard it as neCeS-
Sary. Many never darken its doors eX-
ccpt to be married or when their bodies
are brought in for burial. Men stand in
the pulpits with one-half Of the people

not concern their lives. Sometimes l

dead here today from bichloride of mer-

than a week ago. The young man took
the poison following the refusal of Miss

life were futile.
Daniels. who was found groaning in
his room at the Grand Hotel, had taken
the poison while he tramped the streets.
When he found himself growing faint
with pain he entered the hotel and regis

A physician was summoned and Daniels
confessed that he had taken bichlor1de of
mercury. He said that Miss Jones had
repeatedly refused to marry him and that
in desperation he had determined to end
his life. In his hands he held a picture
