CHRISTIANITY ONLY HOPE,
SAYS YUAN Sill kAT

"Only Christian ethics can save
China" said President Cor Emperor)
Yuan Shi Kai recently to DR.. II. H.
Lowry, president of Peking Tnlver-
sity. That this statement voices a
genuine conviction is thoroughly evil
denced by the fact that he has put
his four sons in a Christian mission
school in Tientsin, and his daughter
and niece into another Christian
school in Picking. AZ his private sec
retaries he selected two eminent
Christians one of whom, DIR. yelling
ton Koo, a graduate OF Columbia Uni
versity is now Chinese minister to the
United States. For places in his cabi-
net the president chose at different
times five Christian men. three of
them sons of preachers.
These and other like facts constf-
tute surprising revelation of the en-
perors confidence in Christianity.
What Is even more significant, they
show clearly the great Influence
which Christianity Is already exert
ing upon China and It's opportunity,
II vigorously pushed at this favorable
crisis, to become speedily the domi-
nant religion of that great country.

For An ADEQUATE Navy.


The future size of our navy is de-
pendent upon our international rela-
tons. In the past we have never
even pretended to prepare against the
English navy, either because we felt
that our proximity to Canada was suf-
ficient guarantee of peace or because
we feared no trouble with England.
or, perhaps, because 1t would cost too
much. The General Boards pro-
gram which. however, was neither
published nor followed. would have
been adequate TO meet either Germany
or Japan. The Presidents plan of
a navy second to none would, OF
course, put us on par with any one
nation. But nowadays nations fight
in groups. It 10 impossible for us to
build a navy sufficient to meet any
possible mbination that might come
against us. We could. however. pre-
sumably build a navy large enough
to hold the balance of power between
two groups and render ourselves i'm.
mune from attack. In fact. our i'm
munity In the past may partially bs

WAR PLAYS HAVOC WITH
EUROPEAN MISSIONS

The European war Is playing havoc
with the work of the German and
British missionaries In Africa and In
dia. In German East Africa many of
the British missionaries have been
informed and in the Bcit,sh African
colonies, as we'll as in the territory
conquered from the Germans, the
German missionaries have been either
sent out of the country or informed.
In India government aid has been
withdrawn from some of the German
missions and all of the missionaries
Of military age have been interned.
In some instances the British mis-
sionary societies have attempted to
take over the work which the Ger
mans were compelled to relinquish.
But these conditions, serious as
they are, do not represent the worst
that European missions have suffered
from the war The most serious con-
sequence will result from the deple-
ton of the resources of the nations
at war and the inevitable ana heavy
losses In income that the mission
boards will suffer, probably Tor many
years TO come. When the war is
over the missionaries could be re-
turned to their fields and pick up the
work where 1t was left Off, provided
the boards were able to send them
back The chances are. however, that
1t will be many years before the work
Of the European boards can be put
back where 1t was before the war,
not to speak of the possibility to
advance.
In this crisis quite manifestly the
churches of the United States the
only great Christian country not at
war, must take up greatly-increased
burden of. responsibility for. world
wide missions and do their utmost
to save the work from going back

The r. A. A. F.. 1t seems, wants to
award the pennant or championship
to the c. II. A. c.. because these two
games were forfeited to the r. A. A.
by the Blues.
The II. A. A. F. seems to lose sight
OF the fact that the F. A. A. did no,
need these two forfeited games to win
the title; the F. A. A. teams leads the
league at the close of the season by
sixty-six points without the two for

Another seeming basis for a pro-
test Is because the schedule dates did
not govern the games.
I'VE wish to state that the beginning
of the season a schedule was formed
but as the season progressed II was
found impossible to adhere strictly TO
the schedule, not by one team. but by
