USE OF BARBED WIRE
(Sprlngheld Unionl

Some idea of the extensive use Of
barbed wire for trench entanglements
may be gained from the fact that the
shipments of wire from the United
States to the Allies now average
more than a million pounds a month.
and the total export of barbed wire
since last July amount to more than
seven million pounds. The barbed
wire shipped direct to England and
from there transshipped to France and
Italy This wire is woven in compli-
Gated masses in front of the trenches
and has to be replaced when it is de-
stroyed by artillery fire, which fire.
quently happens. OF late the Allies
have been ordering considerable guam
titles of an extra heavy wire, with es-
pecially large barbed wire, with the
barbed wire entanglements, but very
little of it is of American manufac-
ture, although an occasional shipment
is said to find its way into Germany.

THE REAL YELLOW PERIL

J. Campbell White. President OF
Wooster College. Ohio. delivered a no.
table address at the National Mission
airy Congress at Washington few
days ago in which he said:
1--WE are spending in this country
$3.50 per capita per year on liquor,
1901 on tobacco, $1,000 on amuse-
ments. and a like sum on churches
But of the $1,000 we are giving to
churches, only $500 are for missions
and benevolence. and of this only 70
cents go abroad.
THE millionaries could easily f.
nance the missionary enterprise II
they would. But the poor people can
finance It, IL 100000 church men,
bers should give cents a week per
member In addition to what is now
being given, we should have $5O,O0O.-
900 year. Can they do itY Let the
crowd at the moving pictures answer.
We could get this fifty millions a year
II ten million people gave 10 cents q
week, or four million rs cents a week,
or one million one dollar a week. We
shall have to give this money in order
to save ourselves. Unless there be
some such outlet for our prosperity
our nation will be pagan some day"

COURT.NARTIAL TRIAL ORDERED
FOR Ile GUARDSMEN OF TEXAS

Washington--On hundred and six
teen Texas millamen who have failed
to respond to the call for service on
the Mexican border will be Court
martialed by President Wilson. They
will be subject to fines or imprison-
ment, as the Court may direct, with
the approval of the President.
Secretary Baker announced that the
guardsmen will be tried promptly un-
der the Dick law, reversing a previous
decision to delay action in order to
deal with the cases under the new
Hay-C Chamberlain army reorganization
bill The President himself will APP
point the Court-martlaled, and Major
General Funston has been instructed
to recommend its members, a majority
of whom must be officers Of the Texas
National Guard.
So far no steps have been taken to-
ward presenting New Mexico and Ari-
coma guardsmen, who, like the Texans
have failed to present themselves for
muster" A further report from Gen.
eral Funston regarding them is awit-
ed.
Secretary Baker tonight issued the
following statement explaining the ac-
ton of the War Department:
1.-THE Dick bill provides as an offense
the failure on the part of men of the
national guard to present themselves
for muster when called upon by the
President to do so. One hundred and
sixteen members of the Texas Nation
al Guard are reported to have failed
SO to present themselves. Under the
Dick bill they would be guilty of fail
ure to present themselves for muster.

ROBBERS SUPPLY HOSPITAL
WITH PATIENTS

Mrs b. C. Patterson, writing of the
Southern Presbyterian Hospital at
Sutsien, China, says:
Robbers supply the hospitals with
many of its surgical cases, either as
wounded soldiers or wounded civil
lans. They use large pieces of iron
or lead as bullets, which made fright
full wounds. Three of their victims
are now in the hospital. Two required
amputations aud the third has a large
hole through his thigh, causing him
considerable agony.
"Dr Bradley has hoped in vain for
trained nurse, so he is training his
own now. He has a class of six Chris
tian young men studying nursing that
give promise of great usefulness"

BAPTISTS IN A ROW
ON DIVORCE QUESTION

Minneapolis. Minn.-The Northern
Baptist Convention today adopted Il
resolution calling for the remodeling
of the divorce laws. condemnation Of
the divorce evil and disappearing Of
ministers who married persons whose
divorces were mot on grounds recog-
niEed by churches" The debate was
marked by acrimonious speeches.
81 don't believe this convention
should dictate to the ministers" said
DR.. John A. Earle, President Of Des
Moines College OF Des Moines. Ia
There are many just causes for d.
vorce. 1 will tell this convention that
IL my daughter should marry a drunk
ard would help her get a divorce
and drunkenness is not recognized by
the Scriptures as just cause. Such a
resolution is not according to Baptist
democracy"
Some one here has quoted the
phrase, What God hath Joined to-
gether.' said Rev. F. r. MaTgetts OF
Spokane. Wash. II want to say that
I believe God has nothing to do with
a large percentage of marriages: es-
pecially those that lead TO marriages
for title. nor marriages for money. We
are beginning at the wrong place to
correct this evil. We should work for
stricter marriage laws and more
thought by marrying couples"

A GREAT ENTERPRISE IN POR.
TUGUESE EAST AFRICA

An editorial in the Guardian" a
secular paper published in Portuguese
East Africa, pays the following high
tribute to Methodist missions in that
section:
THE Methodist Episcopal Mission
eptltomizes it's work as the training OF
heart, head and hand. The districts
under consideration have eleven mis-
sionaries seventy out-stations, seven
ty-one native pastor-preachers. 1895
members and adherents. three training
and thirty-nine elementary day schools
with 1883 pupils. sixty-eight Sunday
Schools with 2,27O scholars. In addi-
ton. the mission has $4,000 worth Of
property. which includes a printing
press, a saw mill with hydraulic tur-
bine, and a farm Of a thousand acres
worked with oxen and modern ma
chinery. Fields OF waving corn appeas
to the natives far superior to the
weeds that formerly passed as har.
vests. These farms are often called
Gardens of the Gods
But the work does not stop here.
There is a printing record Of a million
pamphlets a year in from four to sew
en- languages. The girls are taught
Laundering, sewing, needlework, house
keeping and simple rules Of hygiene.
This mission work is bound to
make Its mark on the native or tomor-
row. 1t seems remarkable that so
much could be accomplished in what
was untouched territory twenty-five
years ago."

ADMISSION IOc
NEW YORK STATE AND THE AMER.
ICANIZATION PROBLEM

Americanlzation is live issue in
many States. New York appreciates
It's significance and has already taken
steps on a State basis to Americanize
the alien. In 1910 there were $4,000
foreign-born whites unable to speak
English In that commonwealth, and
$4,000 who could not read or write
in any language.
The New York State Department OF
Education has begun the first State
wide campaign TO abolish these disabil-
tiles. Its program covered the follow
ing procedure: TAI a careful survey
OF the immigrant education situation
(b) establishment OF training courses
to prepare teachers for the instruction
Of foreigners; (c) adoption Of stan
dsrds OF efficiency In public-evening
school work for adult immigrants; Id
cooperation with State and Federal
agencies; and (el publication of State
bulletins.
AS "a preliminary. personal investi-
cations and intensive study of certain
communities disclosed dark spots" OF
| illiteracy and light spots" in the large
Industrial centers where efforts were
under way to teach the foreigner Eng.
lish and give him some contact with
American standards and ideals.
A teachers training institute for the
preparation of teachers OF foreigners
was organized at Albany in the fall Of
1915. II was 80 successful that IL was

In view of the ebb and flow OF the
immigrant tide. as far as individual
communities are concerned--for this

economic demands of the hour-New
York is properly approaching this
problem from the State point Of view
II is hardly just to throw upon the
community the entire burden OF caring

Empire State is thus setting an ex-
