THE COMING OF THE TEACH

ERs-1nG WrlI6E Is open W hSCOh "
what one may say in sincerity OF the
coming, or the actual presence
among us in a physical body, OF the
great teacher, the Christ
Persons who take pains to at least
listen to noble words, although they
may seem very far in advance of the
general thought of men, know that
much is printed in magazines and
even in newspapers now about the
possible, or probable, coming of the
Christ.
The great war, the conflict on ev-
cry side in every field Of activity and
thought, points to the necessity for
great teacher to show men the way
in which to go. What more fitting
time could there ever be for the COM
ing of a great teacher than that
which will soon be upon us-the
great reconstruction period? Great
teachers have appeared upon earth.
History mentions the names of the
Lord Buddha, Confucius, Shri Krish-
ma, the Christ, Mohammed, besides
others.
We may readily believe that
great teacher might be even now
among men, and we not know it Al
though He may proclaim Himself we
shall not be able to recognize His
greatness.
1t is interesting to reflect little
upon the manner in which He might
conduct Himself among men. Would
He not most likely seem as laborer
among men who labored with their
hands? Or as a teacher among ed
ucationalists? Or as a preacher
among preachers? Or as a scientist
among scientists? AS a kind, elder
friend to little children? And as a
brother to those Stunned by mem?
Yes, it would probably be very diff

VICTORY By RUSS

Military Observers Regard
Lutsk Triumph as Brilliant
Event Were
Well Entrenched.

Petrograd. June IL, (via London, $50
by the forces of General Brussiloff has
has crumpled their opponents lines
from the Kovel- Sarny railway line to
the Bukowina, driving them back an
average of Is miles.
In the Lutsk section the Russians APP
pear TO have completely broken
through, turning the left flank of the
Austrian armies and the right flank of
the German forces and capturing
Lutsk, the center of a number Of radiat-
ing roads and railways. At several
points the attacking Russians have
crossed the Ikwa n Styr rivers and
farther south they are approaching the
Stripa river.
The victories are attributed largely
to the avalanche of gun fire, which
swept away dozens of lines of entangle-
ments and opened the way for the
troops, who swept through in irresist-
ible numbers. In some places the Rus
sian barrier cut off large Austrian units
which surrendered.
This accounts for the large number
Of prisoners officially reported cap

The operations began in the vicinity
of Olyka, where skirmishing has been

their opponents line. The Russian adj
vance from this point, which is rs miles
from Lutsk was accomplished in two
and one-half days.
During the long period of inactivity
the Austrians constructed strong fort1-
fications in this session. The topography
of the country also formed strong ma
tural defenses.
Military observers regard the opera
ton as an extraordinarily brilliant
achievement and emphasize the able
leadership of General Brussiloff who
conducted the Carpathian campaign
and made a record for prisoners, guns
and munitions captured.

Chicago, June 10.-Now that Justice
Hughes has been nominated by the re-
publican convention and Colonel
Roosevelt by the bull moose. the SUI
preme question is whether Roosevelt
will decline the third party nomination
and will support Hughes. 1t is the gen
eral belief Of the republican leaders
that Hughes will make such a state
ment of his views that Roosevelt will
support him.
Important conferences will soon be
held between certain republican leaders
and Colonel Roosevelt. Senate Borah
will go east Sunday morning and While
ostensibly headed for Washington it is
understood he will soon a " a heart
to heart talk with the former president.
He will urge Roosevelt to support
Hughes. Senator Borah is convinced
that Hughes will get Roosevelt's sup
port.
Other republican leaders will also
urge Roosevelt to support Hughes and
Oyster Bay will be the scene soon Of
important conferences and it is gem
orally assumed that Roosevelt will
await a statement of Justice Hughes
views and if he Gan indorse them, will
decline to run himself.

MOOSE REJECTS
DRY" PLATFORM
Table Resolution BY Vote Of
523 to 81, Saying They
Favor 1t, But Viii!
Moi Adopt 1t.

Auditorium. Chicago, June 10.-The
progressive convention by a vote Of
523 to 50, tabled a resolution favoring
prohibition. Delegates expressed the
opinion that while they favor prohibi-
ton, they do not want to make 1t the
main issue in the party's campaign.
Delegate w. ID. Cooper, of Lawrence,
Kas, launched the prohibition fight in
PRODUCING an amendment proposing a
federal constitutional amendment to
prohibit the sale, manufacture, impor-
tation and expectation of Intoxicating
liquors. 1t was greeted with prolonged
applause. His amendment read as fol-
lows:
I'VE pledge ourselves to submit to the
people of the United States an mend
ment to the constitution f~orbidding the
sale, manufacture, importation and eX-
p%ortation of intoxicating liquors"
Henry Allen. of Kansas, urged adop-
ton Of h plank which he said has
designed to Conserve humanity"
James r. Garfield differed with Allen,
not, as he said, because he did not be-
lieye in prohibition, but because ita
appearance in the platform would make
prohibition the main issue in the cam
paign and not be to the best interests
of the party.
Takes Time.
'fhe liquor question:" he said, us one
that must be solved by the slow tedious
process of education. This party should
not make prohibition an issue in this
campaign unless we are willing to for
get all other issues. 1t takes courage TO
postpone, but / hope this convention
will refuse a prohibition plank" said
Garfield in conclusion. The applause
was vigorous.
Former Lieutenant Governor Wal
lace, of California, who spoke for the
amendment suggested that Roosevelt be
asked whether such a plank should be
inserted, but the delegates groaned dis
approved. He pointed out the lessons Of
the European war to show the adj
vantages of prohibition.
The vote tabling the resolution and
excluding the plank from the platform
was announced the convention whooped
it's approval. Afterward Chairman
Robins followed a suggestion that the
convention be given an opportunity to
express it's sentiments on the question.
He asked all those who favored the
principle to rise and almost the entire
throng stood and cheered.
Chairman Robins said the latter
action of the delegates was a Splendid
testimonial" of belief in prohibition.
