Urges Moratorium
 In Christianity Tn
 Europe During War

Berlin, July 23-A moratorium in Christianity is proposed by writer in the Christliche Welt, one of the leading religious journals of Ger many The writer urges that 'in a war of this character, where ruthlessness of an unparalleled type is displayed and where the very rudiments of Christianity are ignored, it would be wise. if Christianity is to be main tained, that it should not be preached or taught during the continuance of the war;
 The writer, who states that he is now serving at the front. says he is convinced that war itself is an evil dence that for the time being evil is uppermost in the world. ''It isNas ones humanity and to relinQuish all that distinguished a, Christian man. It is mockery to ask men with blood stained hearts to approach the table of the Lord"
 The fighting in the trenches, con- tinues the articles, is of such a char acter that every feling of religion and every inclination to prayer ceases. ttIt Is not Christian teaching that a man wants as he comes fresh from the frightful hell of the trenches. War is, phenomenon which the church should not be able to bless. It is op- posed to every essential of Christi for Christianity Is declared the bet ter. There should be no more church nonsense about the ennob1fngs and purifying effects of war. For hum ! dreds of thousands of men at the front. men who once believed in the faith, the moratorium is already in effect. When they return from the blood-soaked battlefront. their Chris tianity will be of a different order, and they will insist upon the church adopting a different Christianity

Carlton, tonight Becker said in re- beating a part of his conversation with Sullivan.
 Suspicious of Big Tim
 :ewhile Becker was glad Big Tim offered to do him service in return for any favor he would show, he was just as suspicious of Big Tim as he was of everybody else. He did not even believe Big Tim was going to see Waldo. so he had one of the mem bers of his squad trail the former senator to the Ritz-Carlton. That is one of Becker's chara cteristics. He never trusts anyone and is always suspicious.
 Jack Becker said to me, 'Rosen- thai has put proposition up to me He wants me to put $5.0OO in his Forty-ffth street house and get it opened up. He wants to put you in as my representative and get 25 per cent of the profits
 That was really the beginning of the trouble.
 Soon stories began circulating around town. Men carried tales to Becker and to Rosentha1, making both meet in the middle, so there arose a breach. Finally Rosentha1 let it be known that he intended to squeaI. There had been lots of raids, but only about two and one7half per r cent. of them were legitimate.
 Things began to look very bad. Becker was worried and advised Rosentha1 to Paris. Big Tim never put up thep roposition to get Herman out of the way, and I think if the thing had been worked properly Her man would have taken a bank roll and left the state instead of going to the newspapers.
 What give up money to that l suggested paying Rosenthal some thing to leave.- The first thing you know another squea1er would come along and then there would be a lot more.'
 :" fCroak the squealer, and let everybody know we had him crooked. That will put an end to squea1ing,' Becker said.
 ''Six thousand dollars paid to Ro- senthaI would have saved the whole situation. There would have been no :! squea1 and no murder. But Becker would not give up a cent for such a purpose.
 The Sunday before them urder was at the Sam Paul outing. On my return after a talk with Weber and vallon T called up Becker and told him what had been doing. Itold him there had been no sentiment shown toward Rosenthal, and that even if he did squeal he would not. get any l lcoroboration.
 ..But I could not argue with Becker. He was drunk with his own 1 power
 s.I had message from Harry Abel baum to meet him at Luchow's in Fourteenth street. and when I got ithere he told me that I was the only rian who could straighfen things out Iby arranging for meeting between | Becker and Big Tim. F. /" This is a message from the Bis FeIlow and he wants you to fix the meeting tonight Aplebaum said. went to to a phone and got Becker or l the wire. Becker did not want tt 1 come downtown.

Long Trail of Vermont.
From All Outdoors, january

(From All Outdoors. january
A skyline trail from Massachusetts, |
to Canada is the unique project of the |
Green Mountain club. If there is any
walking trip that is more enjoyable |
then following the winding valleys
which lead from the Connecticut river
to the main range and then cover the
mountain - to the New York border, it
| is tramping the Long Trail on the
/ heights of the Green Mountains and
| enjoying commanding views of the
| White Mountains and the Adirondacks.
| The Green Mountain club was or
ganized in 1910 to create this evident
/ ly predestined trail along the heights
| of the Green Mountains. The members
are grouped in sections or chapters
each of which has In charge a special
region with its problems OF making
trail, erecting shelters, and extending
fraternal hospitality to the increasing
number of mountain lovers who are
discovering the Green Mountains. The
trail has been made from the Massa
chusetts line to Stratton Mountain and
from Killington peak to the village of
johnson in the valley Of the Lamoille
river.
When the Long Trail" IS complet-
, ed, it will be nearly $50 miles in
extent.
There are increasing facilities along
the rout for the accommodation of
those who walk the Long Trail.
l The Bennington section of the Green
Mountain club has recently built a
: camp in - Hell Hollow. Deer s Leap
Tea House, on the northern slope or
Killington, this coming season will
furnish meals, as well as tent accom-
modations for all who desire to stay
s over night. Several open camps have
o been built by the Vermont Forestry
E Service and the Green Mountain club
along the trail north of Killington.
. There is camp on the summit of the
Lion, a hotel on Mt. Mansfield, club

Hoop Petticoats.

During the reign of Charles | the
hoop petticoat was worn only by
wives of the lower gentry and by the
wives of the citizens. In the latter
part of the reign of Queen Anne it
rose again: this time in another form
that OF an enormous hoop. This
grew to such immense proportions
that during the time of George | and
II, eight Yards was considered the
proper width.
These hooss had outstanding steel
or whalebone foundations at the bot
tom Of the skirt. In Elizabeth's time
this whalebone had been used at the
top. near the waist, enlarging the
hips for several feet. Addison ex-
pressed himself about the subject as
follows, through his Sir Roger de
Coverley:
My great -great-grandmother has
on new fashioned petticoat, except
that hers is gathered at the waist.
My grandmother appears as if she
stood in large drum, whereas the
ladies now walk as if they were in a
go-cart''

WAKE UP, NEW ENGLAND!

The Boston Chamber of Commerce,
which is an organization always on the
alert for the business interests of the
New England states, is making a fight
against the proposed new tariffs by
the interstate commerce commission,
which, if they become operative, viii
add differential to the freight rates
from New England territory to south.
eastern points, amounting to from 40
cents to 81 a ton as compared with
the rates from New York to the same
points. That is to say, manufacturers
and other shippers of merchandise
from New England to southeastern
markets, who now find themselves on
parity with New York shippers,
would, under the proposed tariffs, be
handicapped from 40 cents to 81 on
their future business. To continue to
compete with New York they would
have to discount their prices to the
extent of the added tax-either that
or give up the fight.
More than fifty commercial organiza,
tions and as many industrial concerns
have united in protest against the
/ discrimination, and are preparing tC
/ follow up this protest to final and com,
plete victory But this means exten.

commerce commission, the preparation
of much testimony, the conduct Of {
hard fought case-all of which mean!
that competent counsel must be employ

fight for New England-but whateve
it may be it will be small indeed a
compared with the enormous loss t,

GREAT MEN AS PEDESTRIANS
Writers and Others of World-Wide

There have been some famous pc
destrians, with the emphasis on the

twenty miles a day were none too
much for Dickens swinging

a practiced pair of legs to keep along
side OF his voice He once did a
special feat of turning out of bed at
two, after a hard day, pedestrian and
otherwise, and walking thirty miles
into the country before breakfast.
Sir Walter Scott walked twenty or
thirty miles without fatigue, notwith-
standing his limp. Browning. when
past seventy, could take long walks
without fatigue, and Wordsworth at
sixty did twenty miles day De
Quincy considered fourteen miles a
day necessary to his health. and Lamb,
notwithstanding his almost inmate
rial legs, could walk during all the
day. Brahms Was a tireless pedes-
trian, and Beethoven always took his
daily walk Or run of five or more
miles in all manner of weat1ersr
while Turner travelled twenty miles
a day, sketching as he walked. Her
bert Spencer. at thirteen, in fit OF
inconsistencies. walked forty-eight
miles one day and forty-seven the
next; but was probably injured in SC
doing. Tolstoi at fifty-eight, walked
$50 miles in three days. Great men

INTERNAL REVENUE ACT.
Emergency Act Continued Year--spe-
cial Taxes Due in January.

The Emergency act of October %,
1914, has been extended by congress
for one year, January l to December
81, 1916, and all persons liable to the
provisions of said act should attend
to their liability during the month of
January, that is, their applications for
special stamps are due January /,
1916. The amount of tax due is for
the six months period ending June 80
1916, or half of the annual tax.
To illustrate, a person liable to spe
cial tax as dealer in tobacco should
remit $2.40, which is one-half of the an
nual tax of $3.50. If received at the
office of the collector of internal rev.
enue, at Portsmouth, n. H., or at the
office of division deputy collector
prior to January 81, 1916, no penalty
will be exacted, but if received subse-
quent to January 81, 1916, so per
cent penalty will be exacted.
1t is important that all remittances
be made in the form of certified
check, bank draft, postal or express
money order or cash. Remittances re.
ceived otherwise; that is, in the form
of personal or firm checks, will be re-
turned as acceptance of same is pro
hibited by the statutes.
The necessary forms win soon be
mailed to taxpayers and should be

WAGE WAR ON THE LOCUST
Russian Authorities Take Energetic
Measures to Stamp Out Pests
That Do Much Harm.

A remarkably successful campaign
has recently been conducted by the
Russian government against locusts
in Turkestan, where formerly the in
habitants, for religious reasons, did
hardly anything to check the ravages
of these insects.
Turkestan supplies almost half the
cotton used in Russian mills, and
raises other valuable crops. AS re-
Gently as 1901, locusts caused an an
nual loss Of over 100000 in this
region, and only primitive methods Of
dealing with them were in vogue.
The loss has now been reduced to
practically nothing.
The methods employed by the Rus
SLAMS include: Preparation in sum
mer and autumn of forecast maps,
showing the position, age and dens-
ity of the egg centers of each dis
trict; treatment OF the infested areas
with paris green, or, better, molassed
sodium arscnite, as soon as the larvae
appear; scorching by knapsack ma
chine of larvae in places not acces-
sible to sprayers, devoid of vegeta-
ton, or far from water courses OF
sufficient capacity to keep the spray
ers going; capture of larvae in pits
or bitches

Why should it be necessary for the
United States to argue with Germany
or Austria or any other civilized gov
eminent over the sinking of merchant
ships, with inoffensive people aboard
without warning and without chance
for passengers and crew to save their
lives? The thing is so contrary to all
the recognized rules of decent conduct,
so repugnant to every humane senti-
ment, that it would be expected that
any man who, in the heat of passion,
committed such an act of barbarity
would be ready to express his sorrow
and repentance the moment he realized
what he had done. Yet, there we are
exchanging notes with two nations of
Europe in an interminable correspond
ence over the torpedoing of one big
passenger ship after another with a
heathenish disregard Of human life and
human rights. 1t is not only irritating
and discouraging but it is absolutely
astounding. Has civilization in certain
countries of Europe made no further
progress than this?

THE SAN DIEGO EXPOSITION.
Management Has Decided to Continue
It During 1916.

The Panama Califoria exposition at
San Diego will be continued during
1916, with a number of new features.
California has set the pace in world 8
fairs. Up to 1915 nobody thought it
possible to hold more than one exposi-
tion at time; California had two at
San Francisco and San Diego. Hither-
TO the time limit was late spring, sum-
mer and early fall; the San francisco
big show ran about ten months and
San Diego a full twelve months Now
the latter city boldly decides to keep
going for another year, making two
years continuous performance. Ample
funds have been subscribed to insure
success.
The San Diegans plan some marked
improvements for 1916. Many i'm
portant foreign exhibits will be
| moved down from San Francisco, in
GLIDING the Canadian, French Italian,
Dutch, Russian, Spanish, Swiss, Ger
man and Austrian. 1t is probable that
India, Persia and Turkey will be add
ed. Exhibits of the California counties
have been secured, and a number of
Zone attractions. The Santa Fe s
| Painted Desert Indian village also will
remain
A large attendance is expected from
the East, particularly during the sum
mer season, when the perfect climate
of San Diego is at its best. Patriotic
| Americans who were unable to visit the
Far West during 1915, should not fai
