Transition Inevitable.

For, however gently the Apostles
acted, a change was bound to come.
Just as surely as the ripe fruit drops
from the parent stem carrying with it
all the virtue of the parent tree, so
surely was Christianity to discover it.
self from Judaism. 1t was in the ma
ture of things. Judaism was for one
race, Christianity was for all races.
Judaism was temporary with only the
great charge of bringing forth "the
hope of the nations" Christianity was
for all time to realize that hope. The
worship of Judaism was in one temple,
and that was soon to be destroyed,
practically forever; the worship of
Christianity was to be everywhere
from the rising to the setting of the
sun. The priesthood of Aaron was to
cease and the priesthood of Jesus
Christ to take it's place. With Chris
tianity, therefore, the reality had
come, and Judaism with it's types and
figures must fall by its own weight.
To intimate that those figures we're
still needful, was to deny that their
promise had been realized. In fact
there was little room for them. When
the ordinances of Christ were fulfilled,
the ordinances of Moses became super
fluous. In that first discourse of Pc
ter on Pentecost morning, Mosaism
was, unconsciously perhaps, yet COM
pletely thrust aside by the apostle.
Only repentance and baptism, instead
of the prescribed sin-offerings, were
given by him as the condition of saliva
ton. Very soon another rite distin-
guished the baptized from the unbap-
tized Jews. While the former met in
the temple in the morning for the
Mosaic rites, they also met from
house to house" in the evening for
1.-The breaking of bread, the litargical
rite prescribed by Christ at the Last
Supper. This rite was pre-eminently
destined to break down the old bar
riers between Jew and Gentle, if the
latter were once admitted to the fold.
1t was a joyous spiritual feast in the
love of Christ cementing with bonds of
brotherhood all who had been regen-
Grated in the waters of Baptism. The
old contemptuous language of the Jew
for the rest of the world could no long
er be applied to the converted Gentle.
Solemn was the Injunction to Peter,
What God hath made clean call not
thou common (Act XI. 81.

NEW SETTLERS FOR
NORTH DAKOTA

Bismarck, July 27.-Immigration
Agent Murphy of the 500 Line says
the prospects for getting new set
tiers in North Dakota the coming
year are very bright. From Septem-
ber last year to July l this year,
almost thousand new settlers have
been brought into the state through
the efforts of the 500 Line immigra-
tion department. In that time 962
immigrant movables have come in.
According to Major Murphy, more
land has been sold in the state dur
ing the past two months than in the
entire twelve months of 1914.
The 500 Line expended $4,000
last year through its immigration de-
partment, and expects to spend more
this year. They figure that every
farmer brought into tho state who
buys Z. forty 10 worth 5ast $3.50! to
the Gross earnings Of the railroad.

London Paper Says Fall Of Warsaw

Situation In the West.
London, July 2S.-The magnitude
Of the German envelopiug movement
in the Eastern field is absorbing the
attention of the British officials and
public. The latest reports show that
General Won Buelow's 10000 cavalry
have turned southwark from Riga and
are within eighty miles of the rail-
way connecting Petrograd with War
saw
In this way the northern German
line Is closing in on the main north
ern railway artery to the Russian
capital, while the southern army sim

ern artery running to Odessa
The Times declares human history
can show no parallel to the tremen-
dous extent of this enveloping move
ment, which it says involves results
to Russia and the Western allies COM
pairing with Russia's resistance to
Mongol invasion.
The Times believes the operations
are a real danger to the whole sys-
tenn of railway defenses of which War
saw is the center and that it is ap-
parent the Germans are planning to
envelop the entire Russian army in
this region.
Fall of Warsaw Means Much.
The newspaper points out that the
fall of Warsaw will have a grave sig
nificance for the west, as it will mean
that Russia's power to resume sue
cessful offensive will have been in
definitely postponed and that the prin-
cipal bases for offensive operations
will be in the hands of Germany.
Petrograds official statement that
the Germans have been thrown back
at one point of the Narew river brings
some relief to London. as the military
observers here hold that the final re-

The TENTED CITY ::
A Wonderful Business System Con.
trolls Carl Hagenbeck-Walla
Circus.

The show grounds of the Carl Hag-
enbeck-Wallace Circus is city with
in itself, lacking only a town council
and state charter. 1t has it's own
lawyers, postmasters, dentists, doc
tors, carpenters, painters, detectives,
blacksmfths, wagon-makers, laundry
men, BARRIERS, shoemakers, tailors,
sail-makers, harness maEers. store
keepers and photographers. 1t sup
ports a great hotel, in which thou
sands of meals are cooked and eaten
every day in the week.
Twenty-Five tents that cover a
small-size farm houses the circus in
the day time. The largest tent is
$40 feet in length, and among the
biggest ever constructed. Six gigan-
tic oak poles form the chief support.
Any one of them is larger than the
largest mast on a sea-sailing vessel !;
the smallest tent is the one used to
house the circus barber shop. At
night the circus is transported on a
show train one mile in length and
divided into three sections; another
sun sees the great institution in an
other city. In a single season the
circus train travels almost 10000
miles, making stops in about 200
cities and giving 400 performances.
The big show has exhibited in every
city of any size in the United States.
While the Hagenbeck-Walla Show
is an American institution and en-
tirely controlled by capital of this
country, yet the show is equally we'll
known in the old countries.
On Friday August 6, the big show
will come to jamestown with an en-
tire new equipment. The program
that .is offered is the best this season
in the history of the organization.
There are more than 400 artists on
the list that offer new and sensation
al novelties and thrills. Fifty clowns
will add fun. The Carl Hagenbeck
trained wild animals will be seen in
an immense steel arena. The circus
day festivities will be opened by an
immense street parade at 10 O'Clock
in the morning on the day of exhibi-
tion.

BRITAIN SENDS
ANOTHER NOTE
Recalls One Received at
Washington Monday.
MAY ALTER SEA POLICY

Sir Edward Grey's Message to seere'
tary Lansing Believed to Be Result
Of Latest American Communication
to Germany.
Washington, July 2S.-Sir Edward
Grey has cabled Secretary Lansing
that the British government has in
preparation another note to the Unit
ed States on the orders-in-c0uncil and
asked that the note delivered Monday
be withheld from publication pending
receipt of the new communication.
No indication of the nature of the
forthcoming note was given In Sir Ed
wards cable and state department
officials have NO intimation. They as
sumo, however, that it is of supple.
mental nature. The development will
further delay dispatch Of the Ameri.
can note to Great Britain on the same
subject. Secretary Lansing had about
finished it and 1t was to be sent to
President Wilson at Cornish, N. H.,
for his approval 1t will not be dis.
patched until the new British note has
been received and considered.
Action Highly Significant.
Secretary Lansing said the message
from London stated the new note
would be here in another week. In
official quarters the development was
regarded as highly significant. The
belief prevailed that the last Ameri.
can note to Germany with its refer
ences to the freedom of the seas may
have influenced Great Britain to place
herself on record as willing to take
under consideration any new sugges.
tions by the United States to the bel.
ligercnts.
Sir Edward Grey's request that the
note received Monday be withheld
was taken to mean at all events that
new situation had arisen, or that
some new proposals were about to be
made by Great Britain to alleviate the
effects of the orders-in-council.
In view of the development Secre-
tary Lansing declined to discuss the
British note already in hand.

CHICKEN COOPS
SAVED HUNDREDS

The merchants of South Water
street commission houses and their
employees made many rescues when
the Eastland tipped over. Chicken
coops and bales were thrown into the
river to the floating victims. Many
saved themselves in this manner
Other merchants, with the aid OF
ropes and poles, pulled dozens from
the stream.
Say No Warning of Danger Was
Given.
One thing on which the bewildered
survivors and the eye-witnesses in
general appear to agree on is that
even after the boat started to list
neither the captain nor the crew gave
warnings to the passengers. The or
chestra kept on playing until the
chairs of the musicians slid across
the deck and the vessel had attained
a perilous angle before the laughter
and joking were turned into shrieks
and cries.
One of the most coherent of the
survivors stories was told by E. w.
Sladkey, head of the Western Elec-
trio company's printing department.
Sladkey, the last to board the East
land and the first to escape, walked
over the upper side of the vessel and
jumped onto the deck of the Keno
sha, a nearby tug, without 80 much
as wetting his feet. Many of those
who were saved, he said, followed his
example.
Actual Number of Dead Uncertain.
. Nearly 1000 bodies are reported
to have been recovered. The num-
ber of corpses could not be accurate
ly counted up to late hour last
night, because so many volunteers
had been engaged in the work. and
because the bodies were brought out
so rapidly they could not be counted
or perhaps were twice counted be-
fore being removed, first to the score
or more of temporary morgues in the
vicinity. and then to the Second
Regiment armOry.

cries. of men, then came the plunge,
with a sigh of air escaping from the
hold of the ship on the bottom of the

Many sunk entangled with their
clothing and bundles and didn't rise,
but hundreds came to the surface
giving the river the appearance Of a
crowded bathing beach: Many seized
floating chairs and other objects.
Those ashore threw ropes and
dragged in those who caught hold of

along the river threw crates, chicken
cOops and other floatable things into

swept away by the stream which
runs five miles an hour. Boats put

reached. A large number remained
on the shore waiting to board the
other steamer. The passengers on
the Eastland crowded. over to the
west side Of the ship as the other
steamers came up the river to take
the waiting passengers. A tug was
hitched to the Eastland and ropes
were ordered cast of and the steam
er's engines began to move.
Ship Lurches to One Side.
The Eastland hadn't budged, how

ship wavered sidewise, leaning first
