THE COB PIPE OF PEACE

On their way to Europe in single
vessel are 60,768 corncob pipes, $4,000
pounds of smoking tobacco and 2,50O,-
900 cigarettes for the men in the
trenches.
What shall the cause of the allies
profit by this deluge Of smoke into
France? There is probably enough
nicotine in that vast bulk Of weed to
kill a hundred thousand cats. Will 1t
affect the death rate in Flanders.
Not among the Germans. Nor yet
among the French. Folks don't kill
each other over corn cob pipes. They
love. The strafiing business never
prospered within the scent of placid
old cob. That's why the transport
which is now carrying an army OF
pipes to France may turn out to be a
vessel not Of war, but of peace.
And why not send few pipes to
Germany and Russia? Let pacifsts
devote their efforts to getting crown
ed heads and chancellors to smoke
their cobs rather to sign protocols OF
peace. For who can imagine bel
ligerent kaiser or a billigerent Kit
chener waging war with pipe in his
face: Where diplomacy has failed
why not try something that expert
ence has proved good.-St. Paul Dis

PLANS TO RAISE
ENDOWMENT FUND
Presbyterian Committee 10
Recommend Million.
FOR PASTORS RELIEF
Proposal is to Devote Large Sum
to Caring for SuperannuateS
and Dependents.

Orlando, Fla, May 22.-An endow-
ment fund of $1.O00,0O0 for the re-
lief of retired ministers. widows OF
ministers and orphans OF those who
have spent their life in church work
will be recommended in a committee
report to be submitted to the general
assembly of the Presbyterian church
in the United States tomorrow. The
committee will suggest that the en-
dowment be provided ''as soon as pos
sible," and should the report be
adopted the Presbyterians, 1t is said,
will have the largest fund for this
work OF any church in the south.
When the endowment for minis
terial relief was authorized n 1911
the goal was set at 100000. The
fund now has reached $4,000, but
during the past year great impetus
<has been given to this feature of
church work. An offer OF one ruling
elder is that he will give $sS,090 net
later than January 1, 1917, II the
