DIAMONDS FOR THE
JUNE BRIDE HIGH
Var is Blamed for Increase in Price
of About twenty-five
Per Cent.
ENGLAND CONTROLS THE OUTPUT

Prospective June grooms will pay
larger sums for diamonds. or pros
pective June brides will wear
smaller diamonds this year than
usual.
There are now two ways about
that. Diamonds have gone up.
Some of the most conservative es-
Inmates of local jewellers are that
diamonds have gone up fully 10 per
cent since the first of the year.
Others estimate that in the last five
years diamonds have risen in price any
where from 20 to % per cent. Thus a
diamond that cost $l0O five years ago
would bring from t12O to sl25.
Here again the war is blamed for the
rise in price. especially in the last six
months or a year.
Beginning April !. England imposes an
export duty on diamonds. This, coupled
with the fact that at the present mo-
ment England controls the diamond mar
ket of the world, is looked upon by jew
elers as significant, and as explanatory
of the high price of diamonds and the
prospect of higher prices still.
IAHEldIu mas long COntTOlleu the AUS
tralian and the African diamond mines,
in the main, But the conquest of Ger
man territory in South Africa by Eng
land has given England much more
nearly a complete control Of the situa-
ton than it ever enjoyed before.
Holland Cuts Diamonds.
Holland does most of the cutting Of
the real small stones, as labor is cheap
| there, and with the cost nf labor in this
country the cutting Of the real small
| stones could not be made to pay it ia
said The shipping Of even this. known
to jewellers as the small stuff" is con-
| trolled now by England and must be
taken through England before it is ex-
| ported. There the export duty is placed
on it, with the result that even the small
stuff has risen in price. and is esti-
mated to be fully % per cent higher
than it was last fall.
! BY small stuff is meant the stones
OF less than one-third of a carat
Another reason assigned for the high
| cost of diamonds Is that even when the
export duty is paid in England the in
surance on the cargo is so heavy in
these days of random floating mines
and wayward torpedoes that the insur-
ance premium adds another large item
to the cost before the finished stones
reach America.

EDUCATION ATTAINED BY STU.
DENT LABOR AT BEREA
COLLEGE

Berea, KY, December 25-Student
labor as a means toward securing an
education in the past year has at
tanned record proportions in Berea
College, according to the report of
Treasurer Thomas ]. Osborne. OF the
1868 students enrolled at Berea, con-
siderably more than half earned a
large part of their expenses by stu
dent labor. The total sum earned in
this manner was more than $4,000,
exclusive of vacation earnings, which
is $4,000 more than in any previous
year.
Both boys and girls participated in
the work, and some of the more novel
sources of revenue included laundry
work, janitor service in the school
printing, woodwork and
waiting on table. Farming was the
most popular form of student labor,
waiting on table Sc second, garden
ing was third in the number enrolled
and janitor service, woodwork and
laundering ranked next.
Although student labor has enabled
this large number of boys ana girls
from the southern mountain country
to secure an education. President
Frost expresses regret that the col.
lege is not in a position to give great
er aid He says that in the past year
they were able to give only sS,461 for
student aid, although about $1,000 was
distributed as student loans. no single
gift or loan amounting to more than
$40. Berea probably is the least ex-
pensive school in the country. the ex-
penses, excluding clothing, amounting
to only 800 year. The enrolment
last year numbered lilo men and 557
women.

LONDON PULPIT
ABUSES WILSON
Wrong Note Sent ain Fit Of dental
alteration" Dean Of Westminster
Charges-Ridlcule Employed
Presidents Suggestions
Referred to as "Black
and Vile"

London, December 25-The dean OF
Westminster, the Rt. Rev. Herbert Ed
ward Ryle, preaching in the Abbey to-
day said:
at is our resolve, God helping us, to
overthrow military brigandage in
Europe, to rescue the liberties and
homes Of the desolate countries, to OBJ.
tain for these people reparation for
their wong, and for humanity lasting
security against a recurrence of ag-
gressiYe violence of crime.
ut is true that the President of the
United States, after two years Of study
of the question and innumerable notes,
seems to believe that the objects
of the two groups of belligerents
is the same. He knows that Germany
refused arbitration, declined a con-
ference and rejected every overture to
prevent war. He knows that his own
countrymen have poured money like
water to assist the destitute and out
ragged remnants of the little Belgian
people, whose treaty rights were vio-
lated and whose frontiers were in
vaded before war was declared. He
knows of the attractions of The Hague
conventions which the American peo-
pie have studiously promoted.
"He knows all the details of the or
ganized atrocities reported upon its
strict inquiries. He knows of the sink
ing of unarmed passenger ships like
the Lusitania and Arabia without pro-
test or warning. He knows of the
murder of Captain Fryatt, of the noe
turnal deportation Of Belgians and
French into slavery. He knows of Ger
man connivance of Armenian massa-
ores and this evil demoniac of national
militarism, have the same aim in view
as the perpetrators of these historic
crimes.
President Wilson has either in a fit
of mental alteration sent the wrong
note or he has entirely misapprehend-
ed the European situation"
These things are black and vile
The very thought of them on Christ
mas day makes one shudder. Does
anyone suppose that peace would be
honorable which regarded the assail-
ants and defenders of humanity as
having in view the same end? What
kind of unity of aim could you expect
between wool and sheep dogs over the
fleeces of torn lambs?
Peace on the basis of much n.y.
pothesis would be only an armistich
given an exhausted foe, a much
needed interval for recuperation be-
before renewing his Unsuitable passion
for the hegemony of the world and the
destruction of his rival with a savage
war"
