leading churches in. Boston and Vi
cinity will be sent on these missions,
each to serve a month. During the
period of their absences the local pull
pits Of these revivalists will be filled
by the American Unitarian Associa-
ton officers and other representatives.
The idea is an entirely new one in
this denomination. Unftarians have
heretofore made little effort to spread
their particular church into other re-
gions, and as a result there are states
In the West that haven't one Unitarian
church and are utterly ignorant Of the
teachings or history Of this denomina-
ton.
One Of the leaders in the new move
ment, Evangelical Liberalism it is
called, is DIR. Samuel McChord Croth-
ers, the famous pastor Of the ancient
First Parish church in Cambridge. DR..
Crothers, who is himself a convert
from Presbyterianism to Unitarian
ism, considers that the biggest call to
Unitarlanlsm today is the call to make
itself known, to withdraw from its
she'll Of exclusiveness, to begin a
great preaching mission all over the
United States.
1--WE call the new movement Evan
gelical Liberalism" said DR.. Croth-
ers. "Note which word sands in the
qualifying position of adjective, and
which in the superior place Of noun.
We are liberals first Of all. We preach
a liberal gospel, rational gospel. If
you please, but we preach it. We are
evangelical; we are going out to pro-
claim It everywhere"
A great extension of the cause OF
liberal Christianity is expected as a
result of this movement. Ex-Presi-
dent Taft is quoted as saying that
there are more Unitarians in the other
churches than there are in the Uni
tartan denomination itself. The pur-
pose Of this new movement is to in
crease that number, to liberalize the
ology everywhere, to organize Uni
tartan churches where they are called
for, and in every place to tell people
what Unitarianism is.

ian church enrolls many of the old

and scorns society and its dnproduc-
tive habits.
One of the very greatest heiresses
is Miss Carol Hartman. Her legacy
is so large that it is unestimated. Her
father, the railroad king, left millions
to his family. Miss Hartman made
an impressive debut despite her re-
firing preference. She kept her pace
in society, yet "cared little for the
boys" Her experiences in horsewom-
anship won her no little fame among
the elect, but, to the CONSERVATION Of
the eligible bachelors, that was as far
as her enthusiasm went. She would
ride with them, she would appear in
amateur theatricals with them, but she
would not fall in love with them.
They have about given her up as
heartless, 80 Indifferent to attention
has she been. Perhaps she, like Anne
Morgan, feels that 1t Is too much
bother to figure out just which ones
are not after her fortune.

UNCLE SAM NOW
HAS A PRESS
AGENT
snappy Information Given
WouId-Be Enlisters in the
Marine Corps.

Uncle Sam has an official press
agent now who Is taking the great
forgetting American public into his
confidence and telling II about the
Oldest and the least known depart
ment OF the navy service-the marine
corps. Most everyone knows some
thing or other about the blucjackets
for their feats on land and of have
been described so voluminously that
.yery detail OF their work and play ia
known. But how about the marines?
Does the city or farmer boy know
that the navy's first battle was fought
and entirely won by the marines; that
they. served under John Paul Jones.
and raised the American flag in Trip
oil? Does he know that the city OF
Mexico was first captured by the ma
rine corps and that they entered Cha
pultepec and fortified that place? Has
he been told Of their fights in Korea,
Formosa, Egypt, China, Japan and at
Guantanamo? Uncle Sam says he has
not. 1t 1t to inform the city or farm
er boy OF the early history and the up
to the minute. work of this service,
that the navy organized a publicity
bureau year ago and put 1t in charge
of a regular enlisted corps of ma
rines.
Uncle Sam Changes Tactics.
Heretofore Uncle Sam spent large
sums in advertising the work and play
of his soldier sailors that enlistment
might be stimulated. The plan was
not successful. for the advertisements
were dull and uninteresting without
photographs and the government had
no official corps OF photographers.
With the failure OF this plan came the
idea of the publicity bureau, with its
photographers. writers. clerks, stem
ographers and printers. One year OF
the bureau has proved beyond all pos
sible doubt that 1t is doing a work at
much less expense than paid adver-
Using could do.
Under the old system OF recruiting
the postmaster in each town occasion
ally sent in names of likely recruits
and these were filed away and later
dull printed matter was mailed to the
men. Instead of the old worn out pic
ture poster in front Of the country
store or the city recruiting office there
is board with action" photographs
affixed which attracts and holds the
attention Of any interested passerby.
The lists of prospects" come direct
to the publicity bureau. the names are
catalogued and filed and letters are
mailed at once, enclosing photographs
showing the latest target practice or
maneuvers OF the warshlps. The re-
suit is that the city or country boy is
convinced that the government is real
ly taking a personal interest in him
and really wants him for the service.

POINT COMPANY
HUNT FOR SPIES
Powder Plant Officials Are De.
termined to Drive Out the
Piotters.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 22.-Deter-
mined TO rid the big powder plants OF
plotters believed to be responsible for
many explosions and fires, officials OF
the du Pont Powder Company have
decided to augment their secret serv-
Ice force by several hundred men.
While these men will serve In the
capacity OF plain clothes detectives
they will work among the men In the
New Jersey and Delaware plants and
be so distributed that every ten work
ers will constantly be under observa-
ton.
The detectives will not report minor
faults of the workers, but are to de-
tect plotters who may be at work IN
the various plants.
Anxious to allay the fears OF work
ers and check the wholesale deser-
lions in the ranks Of the employees that
has been SO marked during the last
few days, officials Of the company IN
sist that there is no cause for alarm
and assert that the long chain OF &C
cidents are not due to outside infiu'
ences.
Hundreds Desert Plant
Thoroughly frightened because Of
the frequency Of fires and flare-ups al
the Carney's Point plant, hundreds Of
men have deserted the plant and are
moving their families from the vicinity

Salem, Paulsboro, Camden, sWedes'
boro and other towns.
Secret service men under Major
Sylvester have learned that the RICH,
name Of John Walsh, who was killed
in the Carney's Point explosion IL
John Deutsch. They learned that he
assumed the name Of Walsh, fearing
he would be taken for a German and
be denied work. He lived in New
York City and not in Nyack, as he
claimed.
A thorough investigation is to be
made, despite the assertions OF COM
pany officials that no Significance is
attached to the incident.
Despite the vigilance Of the secret
service men, spies and plotters. 1t is
said, have found 1t easy to obtain en-
ployment in the plants and interfere
in various ways with the shipment
of explosives to the Allies.
Find Seals Tempered With.
It was learned the other day that
early in November the plotters tied
I'D shipments of munitions to Russia
and Italy, by tampering with the seals
that are affixed to each powder can
After a powder can is filled, two seals
similar to those placed on the door Of
a freight car, are adjusted to the COW
ers. Following that the cans are
loaded into ships and sent abroad.

cans OF powder and substituted othel
materials or whether they succeeded

Under the present system, the army
officers can easily detect whether the
seals have been tempered with or sub

To illustrate how easily spies from
the central powers made their way
into the plants, one Of the secret serv'
ice men asserted that last summer 8

Easter Parade in White This Year
Unless the Dye Stuff Situation
Takes Sudden Turn for the Better
End Of War Must Come Soon
or the Problem Will
Grow Acute.

BUFFALO, n. Y, Jan. 22-The dye. .
stuff situation has reached the point
where everybody is apt to be wearing
white clothes next summer, II they
wear any.
For some time America has been,
facing famine in dyestuffs.
Since the war began and the coal
tar dyes were unprocurable from Ger
many, textile manufacturers have been
in trouble.
The few analine dye manufacturers
in the United States could not supply
a 1.-THE of needed dyes.
The logwood supply which comes
from Jamaica has been our fallback
in dyeing mems garments.
Now Great Britain, owning the is
land Of Jamaica, has put an, embargo
upon logwood-a Jamaican export
amounting to more than 100000
yearly, and Of which the United States
was almost sole purchaser.
There Is some logwood in Mexico,
but under the present strain Of our
Mexican relations, 1t is hardly obtain,
able.
White Woolens for the Men.
Now we face the problem Of seeing
our men appear in white woolens with
overcoats to match, which In soft coal
burning regions will prove a pretty
kettle Of fish.
But a more serious problem is the
cessation Of work to the men and
women who have depended upon the
textile industries for their livelihood.
More than 100 textile mills employ
ing more than 10000 persons are
either closed or running on short time
schedule on account of the absence OF
dyestuffs.
A bill has been introduced into Con-
gress for the imposition Of protect
ing duties on dyestuffs and foreign
chemicals.
The committee plans later to
give administration officials a chance
to map out legislation which will pro-
test American capital here in the
manufacture Of chemicals and dye
stuffs.
But all this moving the machinery
of Congress and juggling with the
tariff will take time, and time is what
the textile manufacturers cannot wait
for.
Nearly s1oo,OOO,ooo is Aed up in the
making Of mems. garments alone.
The fact is the United States has
been caught mapping.
Too Much Engrossed in Recreation.
With our baseball interests, our
chewing gum, silent drama devotion,
we have let the question Of common
place necessities be a question of
good luck and happenstance, and now
we are without the commonplace me-
cessities.
Do you look forward to the Easter
procession of white suited gentlemen,
wearing white overcoats guiltless of
dyes?
Well, it may not be so bad as that,
but not far from it.
This great luxury loving country, IL
the war continues, will get down to
brass lacks, hard pan and the rest
of 1t.
1t may be our salvation to have to
step off our brass pedestals and dis
cover, with all our Wanted fore
thought, that we have not, in our busy
complex life, provided the simples.
When men and nations learn what
they are lacking then do they begin
to grow with that solid progressive
movement which is not musroomery.

.LOOK0UTS' ROSTER FINALLY COMPLETED
 BY KID ELbERFELD
Tabasco Kid Completes Re ducing of Squad With the Release of Three
 Players

Kid" Elberfeld, the pilot of the Look outs, has finally completed his attack of signing and releasing players. Elberfeld has probably established a record in the Southern league this spring for signing players. The Lookouts leader mas signed no less than 40 and the number falls by few short of the 50 mark.
 The "Kid' might have improved his club by yielding the ax with so great zeal, but it is hardly probable that he has strengthened his club materially mony on the team, and this is the reason for his numerous rash acts thus far this season. The Chattanooga Times describes the Kids" actions as follows:
 Kid Elberfeld wound up one of the most sensational spring seasons ever re- corded in Chattanooga by the release of three players in one flock and the as- signment of the center field job perma- nently to Ovid Nicholson, the Western leaguer. on his first day out

 The release of Peters means that the Kid thinks most highly of Powers, the recruit from the Canadian league, for Pc ters is mighty good catcher-fuily good enough for the Southern league, not withstanding his weakness with the hick- ory The Kid says he thinks Powers is entirely too promising to turn loose, and that while he probably is no better catcher than Peters. he will outhit that individual by many points.

 Notwithstanding the cry of special ization,' professional amateurs" and 'super-strenuous training,'' which has always greeted the victory of Ameri- can athletes in England, the British au- thorities have at last awakened to the importance of systematic and official training for the students of the Eng fish schools and universities
 broad plan for the introduction of physical training as a part of the curriculum of English schools and uni versailles has just been formulated in London along lines suggested by Prof Tait Mackenzie of the University of Pennsylvania. who is in England on leave of absence and in charge of physical training at military camp near Manchester
 The new plan, as outlined by Sir Lauder Brunton, distinguish Lon don scientist and author of many stan- dard medical works, is as follows:
 Our public schools will henceforth have games masters, recruited from the same classes IS the ordinary men teachers, and of equal rank in the faculty. Hitherto some of the schools have had athletic coaches who dealt with practice and training and selec- tion of teams. These coaches have been of great practical importance, but the games masters will be more efficient. They will necessarily have to be equipped with a sound knowledge of physioloby and medicine as well as intellectual fitness for skilled scientific olrectlon, in order to wieId more au- thority and bring about the object in view
 This object, broadly put, is the ab- solute bodily fitness of the students. produced by judicial attenuation of games, gymnastics and physical cul- ture of the right sort. The usual ob- lection is bound to be made, that is. that cricket and football are already taken too seriously by the schools But that is shallow talking The future physical fitness of Young England is matter of grave national concern"
