OFF|C|ALDOM A I PANAMA SEES
 CHANGES

PANAMA, July 12.-During the lat ter part of August and the early days of September, next, several important changes will take place among the higher personnel of the Panama Canal. The resignation of Major Gen eral George w. Goethals, U. S A, as governor of the Panama Canal and his departure from the Isthmus where he has been in supreme command for the last eight years, will be the begin ming of other changes.
 The most important of these will be the probable elevation of Lieutenant Colonel Chester Harding, U. s. A., from the head of the Department of Maintenance and Operation, to be governor of the Panama Canal. It has all along been understood on the isthmus, and this understanding has not been contradicted by General Goethals, that Colonel Harding would succeed to the governorship. In fact General Goethals has let it be known that he obtained the detail of Colonel Harding to the isthmus for that very purpose.
 Immediately after his resignation as governor and his departure from Pan anna, General Goethals plans to apply for his retirement from active service with the army. His intention is to take a years vacation and then to engage in private engineering consul tation work in New York City. In this venture he probably will be joined by his son. Captain George R. Goethals, U. s. A., and Sidney B. Williamson, long civilian engineer on the canal work.
 Before General Goethals' departure the detail of Captain Hugh Rodman, U. s. N, from shore duty as Marine Superintendent with the Panama Canal to the command of the super. dreadnaught New York will have been announced by the navy department. Early this year Captain Rodman ap- piled to the department for return

to sea duty on the departure of Gen. eral Goethals from Panama. His re. quest was granted and he was assured of the command of the New York He probably will be succeeded by Com. mander Hutch I. Cone, U. s. N. now commanding the Dixie.
 Commander H. V. Butler, U. s. N. at present captain of the port of Bal. boa, Canal Zone, probably will have left the canal by the time most of these changes take place. He already has applied for detail at sea and un- doubtedly will be given the command of one of the smaller navy vessels. He probably will be succeeded by Lieutenant Allen B. Reed, U. s. N, now commanding the torpedo flotira tender Iris of the Pacific fleet Com mander Butler has held his present position since April l, 1914.
 At Crlstobal, the northern terminus of the canal, Commander Douglas k. Dismukes, U. s. N, will be succeeded by Lieutenant Prentiss P. Bassett, U. S. N, now on board the battleship Delaware. Commander Dismukes also has requested to be detailed to duty at sea. Just what detail will be given him has not been learned.
 No information Is available on the isthmus regarding the successor to Colonel Harding as head of the De. partment of Maintenance and Opera tiOn.

w 4 R RE V|VE: { CANAL TRAFFIC
 IN ENGLAND

LONDON, July 12.-The war has brought about a revival of canal traffic throughout Great Britain, and the canal companies are doing better than they have done in many years This Is due mainly to the congestion of the railways and at the ports.
 Practically the only limit to the traffic available to the canal com panies is set by the shortage of labor and barges. Most of the younger barge men joined either the army or navy early In the war, and the canals like the railways, are frequently com pelled to refuse traffic because they cannot find men to handle it.

LOSE THEIR JOBS IN
 CHINA

PEKING, July 12.-American mis- sionaries and others have again be. come prominent in Picking over a mat. ter which promised seriously to af- feet not only their work but the prin. ciples for which they stood. The case was that of a Chinese admiral and two minor officers who were relieved from their positions because they re- fused to take an oath, according to the new regulations of the govern. ment, before the images In the temple dedicated to certain war heroes. The matter was brought by a certain Am. erican to the attention of President Yuan Shi Kai, and 1t was pointed out that this was by no means the doc. Urine of religious liberty to which the organizers of the Chinese Republic had pledged themselves. The argu- ment in reply declared that the regu lations were drafted with no idea of transgressing the rights and beliefs of any Chinese citizens, but the mum Der of Christians being so compara lively small throughout the nation, no special consideration had been given to them.
 The officers were subsequently re instated, and were permitted to take oath fin a form acceptable to Chris. tians.

GERMANS 5 H ] VI THEY WISH TO
 REMAIN

PETROGRAD, July 12.-A refugee from Lodz who managed to pass the German lines has given to the Outro Rossii of Moscow an interesting ac- count of Lodz under German rule.
 The enemy's organization" he says, "is amazing. They behave as if they had come to stay. They have intro duced there already their favorite system of police law and order and the typical German system of hygiene.
 "The outward order in the city is yerfect. The streets are kept clean. Cuspidors are placed at every street corner, and the German policemen all wear white gloves.
 But the cost of living is appalling. Meat has reached S1.25 a pound, Ger man butter so-called (half-margarine) is 90 cents a pound, eggs s3 a dozen. Only the German potato-war. bread is sold. and that at 12 cents a small loaf. The rate of exchange for mark is fixed at 70 kopecks. instead of the normal 46 kopecks, The larger part of the population is really suffer, ing from lack of food"

The Swedish Bethel church is an in
dependent church. 1t is not formally
affiliated with any church denomina-
ton. 1t is, however, in practice, in
every respect similar to other Swedish
Mission churches, and it gives to the
support of the various educational
and religious work of the Swedish
Evangelical Mission Covenant of
ceiving into membership only persons
that can give evidence of Christian ex-
perience.
Present indications point to in
creased activity, renewed enthusiasm,
rekindled zeal, and to years of useful
service to the Swedich people of the
community.

tablishing Swedish summer schools
for the children, and the interest for
the language has grown. The Bethel
church is the only Swedish church in
the city that does not conduct her
Sunday school or services partly in
the English tongue. And the eXper-
fences of ether Swedish churches that
have made haste to adopt the Eng
become enough familiar with it, has
been that it is but one good way of
Gripping an active church.
Prospects for the Future.
The Bethel church is not going to
sleep on its laurels; it is conscious of
it's opportunity and calling. Topeka
has Swedish population estimated
not all by far are affiliated with any
church.
Young People are Active.
One of the large resources of the
church is it's young people. 1t is
an unknown quantity of hope and
power The young peoples society
within the church, which was organ
lied twenty-five years ago, has MEM
bership of eighty-one, and it is a
bright, intelligent group of young
men and women.
For more than a year the church
has discussed the question of erecting
a new church edif1ce. The question
has been thoroughly viewed from all
points. There was apparently a lack
of enthusiasm for the project in the
beginning, but the question finally
reached the ears and hearts of the
young people and since that decisive
day, these various groups of young
workers who are able to raise large
sums during the year for the church,
will no longer vote to give as has
formerly been the custom, money to
the general fund for the running ex-
penseS but will combine to vote their
money to the building fund" As a
result of this attitude the treasurer
for the building fund, J. w. johnson,
has received in cash and pledges the
last year more than a thousand doll
lars. The church has taken up the
question of building a new modern
church in earnest, and it is safe to pre-
dict that within a reasonable time the
Bethel church society will build new
church on a more suitable location
than the one it now possesses.

MEN FILL MAD HOUSES
More Than 65 Per Cent of Chicago's
Insane Are Males.

Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. More than SIS
per cent of the persons who go insane
in Chicago are men, according to the
July report of the Psychopathic hos
pital made public today. The report
shows that during July 298 men and
women were adjudged insane by the
county court. OF these 173 were men
between the ages of % and SO years
The greater per cent of insanity
among men is caused by dissipation,
according to the report. The insanity
of majority of the women is classed
as "maniac-depressiv which takes
the form of melancholia. The alienists
declare that climatic conditions have
little to do with insanity. The opinion
that hot weather is the cause of per-
sons going insane is a fallacy, the re-
port says.
Disaster, financial conditions and
the war are frequently given as the
perts say that such causes only hurry
it along.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1915-08-07

founded in 1877 that meets semi
monthly, and the ladies have each
year raised hundreds of dollars for the
church through their handiwork. A
year ago this society also decided not
to give any more money to the gem
eral treasury of the church, but voted
that the money raised should apply to
the building fund.
There is another ladies' society
within the church, known as the
Ladies Bible class. 1t was organized
twenty years ago, and it has held reg
ular meetings every month since the
year of it's organization. The object
of the class is the study of the Bible
A fee~of ten cents is paid at each
meeting and this money is chiefly
used for missionary purposes, al
though local cases of suffering coming
to the knowledge of the class are often
