PENSION FUND
 OF EPISG0P AIS
 IS ADVOCATED
Rev. Christian of This City Writes Article Appearing in the
 Church Paper.
(Rev. Guy D. Christian, in the
 Christian Monitor)

(Rev. Guy D. Christian, in the
 Christian Monitor)
 The loyal communicants of the Episcopal church should rise and embrace the great responsibility of
 raising the S5.OOO,0O0 required for
 the starting of the Church Pension Fund. The sacrifice they make will have two lareg results. either one of them sufficient to arouse enthus- iasm. One, that it will give our Church the undisputed leadership in a very important social field The other, that they will thereby be enhancing in a very effective way the spread of the Gospel of Christ, The power of the Gospel depends primarily, upon the spiritual force behind it, but it is also considerably dependent upon the effective orga- nization of the material things necessary even in a spiritual orga- nization. The Church has always stood for such effective material organization as well as for the spiritual verities.
 In one direction. however, in re- cent generations. it has failed in this regard The spiritual leaders the clergy-haye been left to lab or under the apprehension of calam- ity if they lived to be old. if they became disabled or if they left families after their death. Such ap- prehension lowered thir spiritual efficiency. The pension system, by removing any such apprehension, will set the clergy free to develop their spiritual leadership to the utmost Hence. the starting Of che pension system is the contribution we should now make to the power of the Gospel.
 In the report to the General Con- yention which accompanied the pro posal of the system there Was put ! into the forefront of the whole dis cussion the necessity of starting with ! a reserve fund amounting to num- ! ber Of millions of dollars. Fifth ! erto, while actuaries had acknow- ! ledged the necessity of such a re- 1 serve, it had been slurred over be- cause it is not a particularly agree able necessity. The name used for this reserve, "accrued liabilities. has now been generally adopted in pen- sion language. Without such a re- serve or some equivelant to cure for this necessity. any pension system must be brought into bankruptcy and it's ends defeated. as the history of many mutual benefit associations { shows.
 The question of a sound and ade- quate pension system is now square ly presented to Churchmen. And now. in 1916. is the time to set tie that problem once for all.

 says the Portland Evening Telegram. From one of the wettest towns in the state this has become one of the dryest and the marshal this week started a roundup of all the stray dogs in town.

 The records of the municipal court of Portland, Oregon, show quite clearly by comparison of the first eight months of 1915 and 1916, that liquor is absolutely necessary to the operation of disorderly houses and other places where crime hatches.
 "A pitiablc spectacle is presented by old Demon Rum he hasn't sta tistic Co stand on," is tho way the Oregonian puts it.

SLIP IN CRONE'S PLANS SAVED
s69 FROM DEATH.

Chicago, February 23-That one
slip in the plans of Jean Crones, an
archist, prevented the death of every
guest at the Archbishop Mundlein
banquet was the statement today OF
First Deputy Superintendent of Po-
lice, who has been working on the poi
son plot while the police Of every
city in the country have been watch
ing for Crones.
When Jean Crones walked out oil
the University Club for the last time
he was confident, the First Deputy
declared that every one Of the 269
banQueters would be dead within q
short time after eating the banqueJ
scup-that they would be served with
five times the amount of arsenic that
chemical analyses have shown each
portion of soup contained.
According to the tracing of Crones
movements, the prisoner prepared five
times as much poison in the soup
stock as was used. The superior of
Crones, inspecting the kitchen just
before the banquet started, noticed
that some of the soup was changed in
appearance. and, thinking that some
of it had spoiled, ordered four-ffths
of it thrown away.
"None of the poisoned guests knew
how near all of them were to death, "
said Deputy Superintendent Schuet-
tier, land they would never known
had not the steward, who feared he
would be blamed for allowing the
soup stock stock to spoil, confessed
that he took thirty chickens out Of the
ice box and made new soup for the
guests"

STRONG PEACE TALK IN BRITISH
HOUSE OF COMMONS.

/ London, February 23.-"There is NO
ground hope for decisive and
crushing victory on either side in this
war" declared p. Snowden, Laboritc
member of the House of Commons, in
a speech in the lower chamber today.
Snowden's address opened the long
expected debate on peace terms in
Parliament, and an effort is to be
made to force the government to make
known on what terms il will make
peace with Germany.
Snowden received no encourage
ment from the Premier. In answering
the speech Mr.. Asquith said that the
allies would not consider peace terms
until victory was in sight and the CEN
trail powers decisively beaten. He re-
peated former statements regarding
conditions on which peace would be
considered.
Member TreveIan UiberaD de-
clared that both the German and Brit
ish governments desired peace, but
added that neither side would take the
initiative He declared that any over
lures that might be made by Great
Britain should be taken as a sign of
WEAKNESS over the struggle and not
as a proof of failure.
There is no chance of peace as
long as Germany believes that We are
set on a policy of conquest said
Trevalyan.
Member Snowden said that the peo-
pie of England had a right to demand
of the government a statement in de-
finite, precise form as to the terms
England would accept as the price of
peace.
The speaker declared that all the
nations, and especially Germany, were
being driven to accept the evidence
of the futility of militarism, and the
time was therefore ripe for making a
movement in the direction of peace. In
particular Mr.. Snowden maintained
that the government socialists were
solidly in favor of peace now that 1t
had been proved that Germany was
invulnerable from external attack.
