WAR WILL LAST
 TWO YEARS MORE SAYS OR. NELSON

That the European war so far as Russia is concerned will last at least two years more. was the opinion ex- pressed today by pr. R. o. Nelson, a former resident of this city, who has just returned from Kiev, Russia, where he spent about ten months as a surgeon in the army hospital at that place. Dr. Nelson in the early nineties attended the Old Mill Green school and with his parents left Bridgeport at the outbreak of the war with Spain/ The surgeon yesterday renewed old acquaintances here, visit ing at the homes of Joseph J. iHackett of 1908 Pembroke street. a member of Engine Co. No. 10, and Peter Key holds, of 1284 Pembroke street, who were neighbors to Dr. Nelson.
 Scenes on the battleflelds of Flu rope were vividly described by the surgeon. During his stay in Russia pr. Nelson came in intimate contact with the Russian soldier, both the firing line and in the hospitals, and found that the Russian soldier in bat tie was cool, courageous and confi- dent and when wounded, bore great pain unf1inchingly. He said that sol diers of the Russian army were well clothed. and well fed and when their leader had fallen, did not otLmanifest
 
 ranks Under similar circumstances.
 Dr. Nelson left this country for Russia last fall with an American de- tachment of volunteer surgeons and nnrses With unit of seven sur geons and twenty-four nurses, he was assigned to the emergency hospital at Kiev. He stated that the American nurse is very popular and performs her errand of mercy with a sym pa thy and efficiency that at once wins a place in the hearts of her patients and gains the esteem of the Russian gov ernTnent.
 He characterized the fortitude of wounded Russians as marvellous and praised the taoughtfulness and intel ligent care the soldiers demonstrat- ed in their treatment of wounded comrades.

curriculum with the government schools. The effect of this will be the same as the effect of o1d-time similar regulations-that is, it will lift the mission schools to a higher lever and compel them to stay there, says .Dr. Berry.
 As to the prohibition of all re- ligious instruction and worship in the schools seems serious, but the report emphasizes that the rules apply equal 1y to all private schools. They are not directed solely at the Christian schools. Furthermore, Shintoism (ancestor worship is not to be suB- stituted for Christianity in the schools. The regulations do not apply to colleges. or theological schools, and religious worship and instruction may be carried on outside regular school hours.
 The committee thinks that at the end of the two years allowed for compliance with the new orders of things, the schools in Korea may come under the department of education at Tokio and there obtain the same free- dom and privileges enjoyed by the pri- vate schools in Japan proper. It recommends that the orean schools comply with all the other regula- tions and then wait in patience and pray that the evil day of prohibition of religious instructions may not come"
 The report emphasizes that there is perfect religious freedom in Chris tian education work in Japan proper. This Is acquired by accepting. a, special governmental classification which while signifying loss of certain school rights entails the loss of nothing that is fundamental. But even the differ eence in classification, it is declared, has come to be almost entirely nom inal.

The time lost by torpedo boats | and other scout vessels hunting for | lost torpedoes during manoeuVers, IS said to cost hundreds of thousands l of dollars annually.
 MT Smith in speaking of his in l Vention today said:
 Had the F-4, which was recently l lost with all on board in Honolulu 1 harbor been equipped with an old l finding device she would have been located almost immediately after her l accident and it is probable that ufl- less an internal explosion killed every one on board instantly some at least
 of the lives lost would have been saved by the quicker action that might have been taken by rescuiHs parties.
 "Ah submarine boats are now equipped with rlarker-buoys which have to be liberated by someone on board the vessel. The only means at present known for ,Hberating these markers are hand devices. If this buoy should happen to be damned or otherwise fastened in it's receptacle it becomes useless.
 ..if the submarine should sink to a depth greater than the length of line fastened to each of these floating sig nal buoys, the marker would then not appear, above the waters surface, whereas with an oil finding device the specific gravity of the oil is certain

BELGIAN BUSINESS BOOMING; GERMAN
 INFLUENCES FELT

Brussels, Belgium, Sept. 22-The German administration in Belgium has so far succeeded in reeonstruct- ing the financial system of the coun- try that a number of the larger busi- nesses, such as the big factories, coal mines and banks, which practically came to standstiIl year ago, have been able to resume operations.
 The withdrawal of the directors of Inc National Bank to London in Au- gust, 1914. who took with them its geld stock and the plates for print ing notes, left the country without a solid basis for it's currency system. Notes were in ycircu1ation. but there was no gold with which to redeem them; and there was danger that the circulation might be further expand ed through new issues of the Belgian government in London, which could easily be smuggled into the country Soon after the occupation of Belgian territory the German government dep. utized pr. Won Lumrn, one of the most efficient directors of the Reichsbank, to proceed to Belgium and take in charge the rehabilitation of the cur Tency system. As the officials of the National Bank had refused to return to Brussels or restore it's assets, it becane necessary to find new way of securing the note circulation
 At the same time the German au- thoritfes were levying war .contribu- tfons upon various Belgian cities to raise money for meeting the expenses of governing the occupied territory Contributions which could not easily be raised in the form, of cash. The cities were therefore asked to issue their certificates of indebtedness pay able at some future time. and it was decided to use these as one form of security for new notes, besides bank Balances abroad, German gold and other currency As the National Bank had refused to continue the further discharge of it's functions, the note issuing power was conferred upon the Societe General de BeIgique, the oldest and largest banking company of the country
 This concern has now been serving for some months as bank of issuej and dts notes have come into general cir @uIation. Especially it's smaller notes are in great demand, the silver cur rency having long ago disappeared by reason of hoarding.
 Two other important financial tanks had to be taken in hand. One was the fixing of indemnities to be paid for saanDlies of staple goods

AMERICAN MISSIONARIES IN
 JAPAN DENY CHRISTIANITY IS
 NOT PROGRESSING FAVORABLY
Declare Reports That Have Come United States Are Erroneous Prohibition of Religious Teaching in Public Schools Not Serious Their Report Says

-karuizawa, Japan, Sept 24- American missionaries here are some what disturbed over reports from the United States that apprehension ex- lsts there as to the future of Chris t1anity in Japan. This apprehension IS said to. be the outgrowth of the new school regulations in Korea about which, the missionaries think, some rnislead ding private reports have been sent to the United States.
 The situation led the mission of the Methodist Episcopal church to hold a special meeting here under the chairmanship of Bishop Merriam C. Harris. At this meeting it was voted to draw up and send to the home church a detailed report of the exact conditions. A copy of the report, which was written by Dean Arthur D. Berry of the theological depart ment of the Aoyama School at Tokio, has been handed to the correspondent of the Associated Press. It is most optimistic in tone and contends that contrary to any idea of restricting the teaching of Christianity, the Japanese government contemp1ates the exten- sion of privileges already granted. Among other things, the statement emphasizes the progress made on a project to found Christian Univer- sity at Tokio-a project that is ,engag- ing the attention of~all leading Ameri- can and Japanese Christians.
 As indicating erroneous opinion in some quarters of the United States, the report cites an affirmation in a church paper that ''the open door, for Protestant missionary endeavor is fast c1osing.' @A
 In the first place, the report points out that the new regulations affect the schools in Korea only and not those of Japan R@aDer. The essence of the regulations is that the private schools, including the mission schools, are required to conform i'll grade and

The play of his facial muscles showed plainly the agony he was undergoing and he smiled as I began to remove the bloodsoaked bandage. He winced once or twice during this trying process but throt- tied all senblance of groans by biting hard on his teeth. He fainted under examination of the wound and eXpir- ed five minutes later.
 Another instance I recall. A cap tain, mere boy, led a score of men in a charge and when his victory was in sight, a shell burst overhead Everyone was killed but the captain and one private. The private was blown into the crotch of tree, where he moaned pitifully- His groans at tracted the captain, who though nor tally wounded, dragged his torn and bleeding body across the shot-swept field and spoke words of encourage nent to his conrade. Both were dead when examined by surgeons
 Dr. Nelson came to this city when a boy of three, residing with his parents in what was then sos Pembroke street, aand left here when about or 10 years old. While a pupil at the Old Mill Green school, pr. Nelson was a playmate of George Moshier, promi- nent local ball player; Harold Greg ory and Jerry O'Connor, the latter now dead. pr. Nelson yesterday after noon visited the former site of the old schoolhouse, where he had spent many trying hours in Miss Connor's room, and was disappointed when he learned the little schoo1house had been re- moved to Hallett street
 Dr. Nelson was greatly surprised when he found that Stillman pond, once his favorite swimming hole, had been filled in and De Wolfe's baseball lot wiped out to accomno odate the big plants of the Remington Arms Co. He added that he was agreeably surprised even though he should like to have seen the place as it was when he left Bridgeport.
 The surgeon left this afternoon for Atlantic City, where he will spend week or ten days. He expects to be- gin practice in Houston, Tex, about Oct l. His father is in the tobacco business in that city and his brother, pr. w. H. Nelson, enjoys large prac tice.

like coal and other raw materials- which had been taken over by the military authorities for the armies; the other was the abolition of the moratorium which had been in force since the war began. The settlement of the indennities was complicated by the fact that the goods in question were in many cases not owned out right, but were stil1Nto be paid for by the persons from whom they were seized. The commission having this matter in hand was, however, au- the value of such goods. pending the final adjustment, in order that man ufacturing and other business con cerns might as soon as possible come into possession of money with which to resume operations.
 The moratorium, on the other hand presented difficulties which have not yet been overcome. After hearing the representation of chambers of com merce, individual manufacturers and other business men, the new bank ing department attached to the civil government at Brussels saw that nasty action must be avoided; and up to the present time the moratorium con- tinues in force.N
 Still another function of the bank ing department is to prevent the pay ment of money to citizens of hostile countries. intharmony with a measure decreed by the German government for Germany in retaliation for similar action already taken by England. The department also superintends receiv- erships for foreign concerns ,esta blish- ed in Belgium, especially branches of French banks. For this course, it is claimed again, English action has given the precedent, all the branches of German banks at London having been placed, quite early in the war, in charge of government receivers.

If you have a friend who tours a good deal, and wish to make him a present, don't give him a motor lunch case; I made a mistake in sending pr. Sam Murdock such a present after my late experience in his hospital.
 Instead of a Iunch-set, send your friend stout hickory double-tree, a spade,sa log chain and gunnysack to be used when wrapping the chain around his front axle. This gunny- sack will prevent the chain from soil ing the paint on the front axle of his machine. Some experts prefer a heavy rope to a chain, and make two connections to the front axle, one enar each wheel. Frank Marshall used rope, and says the double connection makes an easier pull.

which there is required chapel wor- ship and in which the Bible is a text book and which are openly and az gressively Christian in atmosphere and actiVity-these are the most con elusive proof of the fact that there is religious freedom in educational work in Japan. And this perfect religious freedom is not threatened from any quarter whatever. The attitude of the government of Japan toward religion should be judged by the way it treats Christian work in Japan itself and not by the exception; attitude taken under exceptional circumstances by the Gov. ernor-GeneraA in Korea.
 More than that" the report con- tinues, "- the department of education} and a commission of Parliament are considering new regulations which will vitally effect the whole school sys- tenn of the Empire. The whole ten dency of the new movement under greater freedom and opportunity for private schools-which of course in clude mission schools. The power to grant degrees, for instance, has a1- ways been kept in the hands of the Imperial Universities But the new regulations proposed to extend this power to private schools of similar grades
 we are now perfecting plans for, g. i union Christian University in Japan and new and revolutionary reguTa- I tions are being considered by the gov ernment which would give to such a. university a standing and privilegesl which we did not even dare hope to I have. The mission board in eAmericaI can push forward their plans for ] Christian educational work in Japan ! with the assurance that no restric- tions will eyer be placed in the way ! of such Christian work by the Japan csc government"
 In conclusion the report says:
 s'The responsibility of any failure} in our Christian work in Japan should i not be laid at the door of the Japan-t { csc Government. The home churchJ should join with us in a profound | sense of obligation to the Japaness i Government for the thousand ways in which it has willingly or unwiIling-i ly created such an opportunity for un- trammelled Christian work
