Has the Church Failedo

The Rev. Charles s. Mcfarland, general sec
rotary of the Federal Council of the Churches of
Christ in America, who has just returned from
an investigation of conditions in Europe, asserts
that the church has failed and that the European
cataclasm is the proof for his assertion.
The argument has been advanced frequently
that the great war proves the downfall of the
church. that religion could have prevented the
conflict, and that if the church had been true to
its mission during the preceding centuries war
would have been eliminated.
The supporters of this theory overlook one
important fact, namely, that evil was in the
world long before the church began its mission
many centuries ago, and that evil in mans heart
will continue even until the end of the world. So
long man is evil, war, corruption vice, lust all
the base and sordd elements of this world will
continue.
The European war was caused not by the
failure of the church, but because avarice, greed,
dishonesty, disregard for other nations rights
controlled the hearts of the men responsible for
the hostilities, impelling them to wholesale
murder and arson.
Men have changed very little in their atti-
tude toward evil in the lapse of history. There
was evil in the heart of Pharaoh depressing cap
tive Jews; there was evil in the heart of a Nero
and Diocletian; there was evil in the heart of
Napoleon dreaming of world conquest And
the same evil, under various guises, has mani
tested itself in the rulers engaged in this war
This same evil will never be eradicated, and so
long as it exists there will be war and the full
category of lesser crimes.
The church in the years of its existence has
fought evil, and courageously maintained a
fight to change the hearts and attitudes of men.
1t cannot hope of wiping out evil entirely or of
preventing war, murder, suicide, arson, theft,
avarice, jealousy, and other manifestations of
evil. So long it battles against evil, it is true
to it's cause and mission. Nothing more can be
expected of it.

START War ON FLIES

INDIANAPOLIS, April 6.-With the
inspiration OF what has been accom-
plished in the last few years Of the
campaign Of swatting the fly. the
state board of health has just started
another campaign to arouse the people
to the dangers which Turk wherever
flies congregate. The fly swatting
campaign has become a national pas
time and this year the board predicts
great Sesults will be obtained The
value of the campaign in early summer
is shown by the statistics OF scientists
which prove that one fly may have
195,312, 500, 000, 900, 900 descendants in
one year. The new flies which sur
vive the winter thus produce the en-
ormous numbers which haunt and
plague mankind.

Girl Police in Cleanup Crusade.

New York's East Side has become the classic
tenement district of the United States. The
popular mind associates poor dwellings, slipshod
residents, Uttered streets, dirty alleys, and low
standards of living with that section of New
York. The sanitary condition of the district has
caused the municipal authorities end of worry
and trouble.
The East Side Protective association has
taken up the task of removing the odum attach
ing to that part of the city. 1t proposes to
remedy sanitary conditions by corps of girl
police. Clad in blue caps, blue jackets and short
blue skirts, and wearing glittering badges, the
girls recently swarrned up tenement buildings
to tell the dwellers that banana Feelings must not
be thrown from windows and rubbish must not
lie in room corners. The young officers are in
structed to report legal violations to the police.
Community service of this kind ought to
bring results. A tenement dweller who has been
visited by little girl he has seen in his own
house or in the neighborhood will pay more at
tention to her requests than to those of police
men or social worker. Two thousand girls of
the East Side, enlisted in this cause ought to
clean up that section of New York in record
time.

True Secret of Keeping
Youthful Looking
(The Beauty Seeker.)


"The real secret of keeping young-iookine
and beautiful, says a well-known hygienist,
sis to keep the liver and bowels normally
active. Without these requisites, poisonous
waste products remain in the system, poilut-
ing the blood and lodging in various organs,
tissues, joints. One becomes flabby, obese,
nervous, mentally sluggish, dull-eyed, wrinkled
and sallow of face.
But to get liver and bowels working as
they ought. without producing evil after-effects
has been the problem. Fortunately, there is
q prescription of unquestioned merit, which
may now be had in convenient tablet form.
Its value is due largely to an Ingredient de-
rived from the humble May apple, or its root,
which has been called vegetable calomer be-
cause of its effectiveness-though, of course, It
IL not to be classed with the real calonel OF
mercurial origin: There is no habit-forming
constituent in 'sentanel' tablets-that's the
name-and their use 8 not followed by weak
ness or exhaustion. On the contrary, these
harmless vegetable tablets tend to impart tone
and elasticity to the relaxed intestinal wall.
Sentanel tablets, which may be procured from
any druggists dimes worth will do-will
prove a revelation to any constipated, liver
troubled person."

ALLIES TO BE ASKED FOR
 REPLY ABOUT MAILS
State Department Gables Instructions to Ambassadors Page and Sharp.

Washington, July 24-Instructions to impress upon the British and the French governments that the United States desires an early and complete reply to it's last note regarding inter ference with neutral mails were ca bled by the state department today to Ambassador Page at London and Am bassadOr Sharp at Paris. The step was taken after President Wilson and other officials had studied the Brit complaints and deferring until a fu- ture time a reply to the American contentious regarding the principles involved.
 The official text of the memorandum made public by the state department, reveals that Great Britain feels "Obliged to disclaim responsibility" for the specific occurrences complained of in the American note until there has been Opportunity of Investigating in detail" In that connection it is point ed out that there have been many instances of complaints * * $ which on examination proved to arise from the wrong direction of letters, the ir- regular sailings of neutral mail boats g % * * and from other similar causes entirely outside the control of His Ma jesty's government"
 Outlines of the memorandum cabled from London in last nights press des- patches conform closely to the official text. One of the subjects left for con- sideration in the allies forthcoming reply is the American complaint re- garding money order lists. which it is declared involves the question of principle on which consultation be- tween those governments is still in progress"
 In replying to the complaint regard ing mail removed from the steamship Medan, some of which later was lost on the ,Mecklenburg the memorandum says the facts set forth by the United States 'are correct except that it is not made clear, though it is the fact, that the neutral mail bags removed from the NIedan were all sent on,% < [" and that one hundred -and% eighty two

HOME RULE FOR
 1 CHURCH OF ENGLAND
Release of State Control of the Con-
 vocation of Canterbury.

London, July 24.-IIOme Rule for the the Church of England, in distinction from State control of the legislation of the COnVOcaUiOn of Canterbury, and yet the acknowledgment of the States power Of veto, are the chief points in rho report Of the committee appointed three years ago by the ArchbishOps of Ctt.Ite-Dur ytIIG Ork to consider prob lems of church reform.
 The committee was appointed to consider what changes are advisable in order to secure in the relations of Church and State a public expression of the national recognition of religion"
 The popular criticism that the Church of England does not represent the mind of the English people is frankly admitted as a fact in the re- port. The latter reflects in other ways the manner in which the leaVening in- huences of democracy have been at work during the war.
 The committee proposes that it's re- concentrations shall be effected through the establishment of a Church Council, consisting of three houses bishops, clergy and laity. In the House of Clergy the parOchial clergy would have majority, while for the House of Laity a system of represent ation is suggested with special meas ures for insuring that mot less than five per cent Of it's members shall be drawn from the working classes and that there shall be an infusion of University teachers and students. Special provisions are recOnmeded looking to the preserVatiOns of the Un- controlled powers of the bishops in re- gard to all matters of doctrine and to the end that legislative ,measudes af- fecting formalities or services must be initiated in the House of Bishops.
 As to the method iR which the States control over legislation by the church council should be exercised, the pro pOsal is made that every measure passed by the body should be reviewed by a special committee of the PriVy Council.
 In case a measure is deemed to re- quire Parliamentary sanction the pro- posal is that both the measure and the report should then be laid before both Houses of Parliament. Before the measure may be submitted for the Kings assent, it may lay on the tables of both Houses of Parliament for forty days, and then only in case no CeSOlu- tions recommending against this course-submitting it to the King-are passed.
 Some interesting points are raised in the portion of the report under Re servatiOns and AppendiceS,'' signed by various members of the Committee. H. E.. Kemp supplies Q memorandum on the aloofness of the working classes fro .Inthe Church, which he finds par 1 tially accounted for by the conviction l that "it is a moral policeman used in | the temporal interests of the property ] classes" and that "the moral teaching Eof the Church is against progress" :" Douglas Eyre considers it "essential for the church frankly to claim the power, | subject to the constitutional safe | guards referred to in the report, to
 make complete and effective rearrange- tn1entss in connection with ecclesiastical hproreTtE the5 condi ditions : of it's tenure

fused to include it in it's imperative tempt to whip democratic senators in to line against it's consideration might meet with serious opposition.
 What shall be done with the child labor bill is causing democratic sen ate leaders some concern. Tie caucus, which once excluded it from the ses- sion's imperative program, will meet again in 9 few days to discuss the subject further in the light of the presidents request. Southern Sena- tors on the majority side who were instrumental in placing it well down on the legislative calendar where it would be almost certain not to come up before adjournment, have shown little evidence of withdrawing their opposition. It has been reported that an effort to force the measure through would mean a determined party re- volt from that quarter.
 Senator Simmons of North Caro- lima and Senator Smith of Georgia talked with President Wilson about the bill today. The president is un derstOod to have told them he would not insist further on it's passage if the caucus decided against it. It is expected it will be called up, how ever, either by republicans or by it's insistent democratic champions.
 Democratic Leader Kern said to- night that although no caucus had been called, he expected one to be held soon. He said he had received many telegrams from southern states urging that the bill be passed.

HALT IN REDUCTION OF
 ARMY APPROPRIATION BILL
Increases Tota!Iing $30, 100000 Ap- proved.

Washington. July 24-The senate today called a halt on wholesale re- auctions begun Saturday in the army appropriation bill, voting down re- trenchment proposals and approving increases tOtallinS more than $30, 000 0QO when sections were reached carrying provision for ordnance and equipment for the reGuiar army and national guard.
 Debate on the ordnance sections de- velOped a predominating sentiment that it would be unWise to limit eX- penditureS for ammunition and guns too closely despite the leSsening of tension in the Mexican situation. De- creaseS of $3G,OOO, ,OOO ordered Satur- day, related to transportation, subsist- ence, foreign service pay and emer- gency estimates put into the bill by the house when the Mexican situation was critical.

 In the item for small arms ammu- milton the senate approved a reduc- tion from $5,000,O0O to $2,50O,0OO but several senators said they would in sist on another vote on the section before final passage of the bill. The measure may be passed tomorrow, all though several important items re- main for consideration, including the $13,281, ,666 proposed for aviation, an increase of $10,00O.000 over the house appropriation.
 During debate today Chairman Chamberlain of the military commit tee, aroused by anti i-preparedness ar guments by Senator Norris, vehement ly arraigned senators who, he de- clared, constantly intinated that ad- voCates of preparedness were in a conspiracy with munitiOn makers and others who profit by war. He defend ed the patriotism and honesty Of the champions of preparedness in con- gross. Senator Townsend assailed the administration Mexican policy, assert ing that the national guard had been called to the border under false pre- tenses''- and that diplomatic cores pondence had disclosed that there never was any intention of sending state troops into Mexico.
