trustees tonight led a resident worker
at the settlement today to speak of the
board and it's members, and to point out
the Importance of a board of trustees
She said:
when resident workers go forth into
the world to tell of their settlement
one of the first things that is asked Is
Who are your trustees? And since 1t
is such a pertinent question. perhaps
you would like to hear who our are
and how and why they became first
interested.
The president of our board is Miss
Sophie Siebert, with Mrs. Christian D.
Hemmick as vice president, Mrs. D.
Neigh as secretary, and Mrs. George
E. Fleming as treasurer.
"In point of service Cuno H. Rudolph
is our oldest member. He was q mem
Der of the first finance committee that
was formed to raise the necessary
funds In order to carry on the work
that had outgrown the financial sup
port that Mr.. and Mrs. Charles F. We'll
Ter had given the first year they or
ganized the work. Mr.. Rudolph was
retained on the finance committee when
the settlement was incorporated and a
board of trustees formed and has al

BIBLES ARE NEXT
High Cost of Paper, Ink, Etc.,
Doubles Price.
Printing Bill of Nj. e. Publica-
tiOns Up $13O,OOO.

New York, April 1.-THE price of
bibles has increased and is likely to
advance still further because of the
war. Statements issued by the Re-
ligious Publication Societies show that
the expense of publishing prayer books
for the hymnals and other religious
volumes is so much larger than here
tofore that buyers have been Obliged
to pay nearly double the prices of last
year.
This is due mainly to the advance
in the cost of paper, ink. leather and
glue. The American Bible society an
nounces that the stock of Bibles in
European languages. imported prior to
the beginning of the war. is now ap-
preaching exhaustion and the society
does not know when it can be re-
placed.
The Methodist Book Concern says
it's bills for white paper will increase
this year $4,000 and the cost of 9TH
er material $4,000. These conditions
affect the sale of religious publica-
tons at Easter. The price of Easter
music is less affected because orders
were given long in advance.

SYMPATHY FOR JEWS
Pope Expresses Deep Feeling for Suf-
fercrs of Warning Nations.

New York. April 17.-Deep sympa-
thy for the Jewish war sufferers and a
prayer for the early restoration of
peace are contained in a letter from
Pope Benedict to the American Jewish
committee.
The pontiff also makes a plea for
the observance of brotherly love
among nations irrespective of religious
differences.
Through Louis Marshall, president
of American Jewish committee, a plea
was sent to the Vatican recently, urg-
ing Pope Benedict to use his influence
to alleviate the persecution of the Jews
in the countries at war.
Pope Benedict's reply was received
in a letter to the committee from Car
dinal Gasparri, secretary of state to his
holiness.

Paris. April 17-Chancellor Won
Bethmann-H ollwig's reichstag address
combined with recent events, shows
Enthusiastically that Germany has
definitely adopted the policy of forcing
the neutral nations to declare finally
for or against her
Germany must have wheat, rubber,
copper, petrol and cotton. She must
have ports as bases FOR her sea opera
tons and coast line and territories
which her staff considers indispensa-
BILE
If the neutrals do not allow her to
obtain these things peacefully she will
seize them just as she invaded Bel
GUM. She is now putting heavy
strain on Swiss neutrality by delib-
erately dropping bombs in Swiss ter
ritory. In order to be able to violate
Dutch neutrality she accuses England
of planning to land troops in Holland.
Advertise Heavily.
Neutral newspapers are still flooded
with German offers to buy leather,
copper, cotton, rubber and petrol and
trade with Germany's continental neu-
proportions. Secret contraband traffic
is also being carried on through the
mails.
But Germany is no longer satisfied
with the attempt to supply her needs
by these occult ways. She intends to
help her or to suffer invasion.
The fact is that she is bound to act
in this way and accordingly as the
neutrals reply with strong measures
or submit to indignities the war will
end early or late.
We can confidently rely on these ma
lions to protect themselves. The Yer
dun battle has demonstrated that Ger
many is incapable of striking a smash
ing and decisive blow. The long and
carefully concealed preparations and
the fifty days of desperate fighting
with loss of at least 100000 men
has resulted in a gain of only a few
kilometers.
Her Strength Ebbs.
The lesson is obvious, Whatever
Verdun's fate may be, Germany's mill
tary strength is vastly lower than after
the battle of the Marine. If Germany
should capture the town she would
| again have to accumulate supplies and
i munitions to sustain fresh and bloody
sacrifices in order to gain few more
kilometers, and this while the great
allies offensive is breaking out on all
the other fronts.
From the military viewpoint the war
can end only with victory for the allies
but whether this is obtained through
great attacks or through attrition the
neutrals will have to jump one way or
/ the other because Germany intends
! trying to get more help from them.

Finds English Have to Hurry
Get Up Too Late.

London. April 17.-Baron d Estour-
nelles de Constant, on departing today
for France, with the other French
members of the Franco-British inter-
parliamentary committee, who have
been visiting England for the last
week, gave to the Associated Press the
following impression of his visit:
MY conclusion is that Great Britain
is great indeed, and that Prussian mill
itarism is sure to be punished as it de-
serves. Victory for US is question of
time only. Our children are sure now
not to be deprived of their liberties.
My only criticism is that England
has still to hasten. The people are
fine and good and brave but they get
up too late The French people are at
work every morning at least one or
two hours earlier than the English
people"

PICkETING UNLAWFUL
Chicago Appellate Court Hands Down
Important Decision.

Chicago, April IA decision to
the effect that peaceful picketing'' is
unlawful, since it Injuries the business
against which it is directed. was
handed down today by the Appellate
court The ruling was given on an in
junction granted the Philip Henrici
company at the time of the so-called
strike at its restaurant in 1914. The
court finds that. as a matter of fact,
there was no strike, none of the emf
ployees having made any complaint
i. In granting the injunction in the
circuit court Judges Baldwin, Nc
Goorty and Windees erred, says the
higher tribunal, in restricting their or
der to intimidation or violence" The
mere presence of pickets, it declares,
is improper and not to be permitted
under the amended injunction.

RABBI WISE'S VISIT
Veteran of Civil War Cites
Early Jewish History.
A Race of Fighters Now Occu-
plying Front Ranks.

Norris L. Gage, a brave war vet
eran, wounded in Civil war battles,
and now an honored citizen of To-
peka, ever ready to promote the city S
welfare, writes as follows:
To the Editor of the State Journal:
Had the remote ancestors of Rabbi
Wise adopted the pussy foot, igno-
minious policy, advocated by the
Rabbi in his recent address before the
Commercial club, the Jewish race, of
which he is so a distinguished mem
Der, would have been utterly eXtermi-
mated thousands of years ago. There
would have been no Rabbi Wise and
the loss to the world would have been
immeasurab in many ways.
Instead the early Jews adopted a
policy directly opposite to what the
Rabbi recommended and their sue
cessors have since continued to fight
their way to the front. Often defeated
by superior numbers they never des-
paired but kept up the fight IAN eye
for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth
until now they occupy a front rank IN
the intellectual and financial ranks of
the world, while the Egyptian, Baby
lonians and Romans, their successive
conquerors have persisted, their fight
ing qualities having been undermined
by the train of evils which result from
wealth, dissipation, idleness and fail
ure TO cultivate those qualities which
make for manly vigor.
No nation can long survive, no fam
lily of men can long prosper unless the
element of physical vigor and cour-
age is Kept to the front. 1t was this
that gave Greece her renown and
Rome her power. but when dissipa-
tons Slapped their physical strength,
decay and ruin was ineVita BILE.
The lessons of written history and
the testimony of the rocks as devel-
oped by the biologists prove that
from the beginning. both in animal
and in vegetable life, it has been a
struggle of the survival of the fittest
and the fittest were those best pre-
pared to protect themselves and defeat
their enemies.
No coward ever won a battle. A
! brave man or nation may lose a fight
but if the cause is just. the death is
| at least an honorable one, and leaves
! record of future value.
DR.. Watts eXemplifed the true mil
| itary spirit when he sang:
/ II must fight if 1 would reign,
| Increase my courage, Lord"
! He may have alluded to moral
courage, but the same is true of ply
steal courage.

TO Def FLOODS
Begin Construction OF $24,00O,-
900 Overflow Prevention.
Include Five Big Detention
Basins, Covering 100 Miles.

Dayton, o., April 17-Construction
work was under way today on the
great engineering project for flood
prevention in the Miami valley to pre-
vent a repetition of the disastrous
floods of 1913 which caused millions
of dollars damage and claimed sew
eral hundred lives.
Five mammoth detention basins,
large enough to hold back the crest of
a flood forty per cent greater than
the devastating flood of three years
ago, are being erected. The cost OF
materials will be about S24,000,000
There will be five large dams at
crucial points. The highest at Engle-
wood, will rise 100 feet above the sur
rounding country; the lowest will be
IS feet high, and all rs feet across at
the top.
Retention Basins for Excess.
The plan of the flood prevention
system is to let the rivers carry off
water at their maximum capacity
without doing damage. The reten-
ton basins are to take up excess water
and then serve as feeders allowing the
run of a heavy rain to be distributed
over several weeks instead of several
days The latter uncontrolled action
is what caused much damage in
1913.
1t is expected that the work will be
completed in three years. Enough
steel will be used to build a 175-story
skyscraper, enough concrete to build
a column ten feet square and thir-
teen miles high, excavation enough for
more than 5000 miles of trenches, and
enough embankment to fill a train
of cars reaching from New York to
San Francisco.

USE LIGHTER WEIGHTS
Department of Agriculture Suggests
Plan to Reduce Paper Shortage.

Washington. April 1.-THE depart
ment of agriculture in a circular today
recommends the use of lighter weight
papers to relieve the present strin-
EeTcy in paper making materials.
Many publishers and many users of
wrapping papers have adopted this
plan, it is said.
The weights of printing writing
ledger and wrapping papers in many
instances. the department suggests,
can be materially and profitably re-
duced. This is especially true of coat
ed papers for which light. high fin
ished papers can be substituted with
advantages in price, durability and
utility. In a single year the govern
ment through this plan effected a
saving of $4,000.
