Revival Conditions All Over the East.
All over the East there have been
felt the STRINGS of a new revival.
1t started among the Churches in
Japan in 1913, and spread to China.
Thousands upon thousands have
been inquiring the way of life in
these countries In 1914 the United
Church OF South India laid ont q
program for a three years campaign,
first of preparation. and then OF per-
sonal work for the members.
Iudias Christians haze become
interested IN souls. In many a vii
lage when the morning prayer bell
rings, Christians in the field may be
seen kneeling beside their ploughs
and praying for blessing on India.
Voluntary workers have given much
time to village evangelism. In one
week in September last 600 villages
were visited by 10000 workers.
Three hundred new villages asked
for instruction; 5000 inquirers were
registered, and 5000 men and wom-
en- decided for Christ Men that had
never done any evangelistic work en-
gagged in this effort and experienced
it's Joy.
In addition 10 this. work has been
done among the Hndoos, and many
thousands of them are studying the
life of Christ. The eyangelistio spirit
is spreading everywhere,

A MILLION STARVING;
MILLIONS FOR RELIEF

Ambassador Henry Morgenthau
estimates that IL will take five mil
ion dollars to save the lives and
give a new start to the one million
starving and destitute Armenians,
SyriAns and Persian HISTORIANS, who
have suffered the loss of all their
possessions in the Turkish persecu-
country. For the purpose of raising
this money in America, the lay
mems Missionary Movement have
loaned their executive staff of six
teen men-most Of whom will give
all of their time for some months
to this work. Mass meetings will
be held in New York. Philadelphia,
Pittsburg, Chicago, Detroit, Boston
and elsewhere. at which addresses
will be given by such able advocates
as Ambassador Morgenthau, DR.. Mes
bitt Chambers of Adana, Rev. J. p.
McNaughton, of Smyrna; DR.. James
I. Barton, and DR.. Samuel p. Dut-
ton. The entire expenses OF this
special campaign $4,000 to $1,000
month"; are being borne by one
man, who thus makes possible the
FORWARDING of all contributions to
the relief work. The IAN is to Sc
cure the s5,0e0000 in a large num-
Der Of subscriptions. so many may
nave snare IN the pressing Oh Aliii-
isterinv to one of the brethren of
Christ--even the least.
The relief money Will be sent to
Armenia, Russia, SYRIA and Persia
to provide for immediate need. and
especially TO start the destitute suf-
ferers on the road to self-support
by supplying seed for planting and
materials for manufacture and trade.
This seems to be the only way in
which these races can be saved from
extinction. The call comes forcibly,
not only because the men women
and little children are in dire need,
but because they might have saved
themselves by denying their faith in
Christ and becoming Moslems, Here
IL an opportunity to show Chrfstltke
compassion in practical way, and
at the same time to win these his
toric Christian races to a better un-
derstanding of the Christ they nom
jnally follow. Gifts should he sent

MORE CASES FOUND.
Two of Poliomyelitis Were Located
in Burlington Yesterday.

Burlington, Oct. 24.--Two new cases of
poliomyelitis were found in this city
by Health Officer DIR. f. j. Ennis yester-
day, making in all three cases in Burling-
ton, 1t is also thought by local health
officials that there has been another
case in the city, which was discovered
yesterday in the family where child is
now i'll with the disease.
III. James Bray, truant officer, while
looking up truants in the north part of
the city yesterday morning, came upon a
child playing upon the street whom he
thought should be in school. He went
into the house where she lived at Ss First
street to inquire why she was not in
school and met the mother, Mrs. Meddie
Dubriel. Mrs. Dubriel explained that her
children were not in school because they
were i'll. She has three daughters, aged
ten and six years and one 27 months. She
told the truant officer that they had been
i'll and that she had not sscertaned what
was the trouble with them. A physician
had been called. She also stated that the
baby lost the use of her limbs and
showed the child to Mr.. Bray. Mr.. Bray,
suspecting poliomyeitis, told the woman
to keep her children indoors and COM
with the health officer, who,
after visiting the children, diagnosed the
disease as poliomyelitis. 1t is also
thought that one of the girls has had
the disease. Mr.. and Mrs. Dubriel and
their children moved to this city from
Brigham hill, which is about six miles
from Essex, about two weeks ago, and
it is very probable that infection was had
at Essex, where there has been case of
paralysis.
The other case reported yesterday is
that OF Marguerite f. Skeley, the three
year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. NJ.
Skelley of 3s4 st. Paul street. This
case was reported by DR. 0. n. Eastman,
who was called yesterday morning after
the child had been ailing few days.
There is paralysis in the right leg and
DR.. Eastman's diagnosis was confirmed
by the diagnosis of Dr. Ennis, who also
visited this case This family lives in a
block at the corner of Marble avenue on
st. Paul street and there is another child
IN the family. boy, aged six years. The
Skelleys moved to this city recently from
Alburg.
All OF the cases found so far have been
hose of children who have recently come |
o Burlington with the exception of the |
Webster child, whom the authorities feel
ertain was infected during the recent |!
eachers' convention in this city. No con- /
lection between the three cases, which |
rave appeared in three separate places in
he city, can be traced.

eventually was shot dead by Police Ser
geant James Fitzgerald after siege of
an hour and half in which policemen,
deputy sheriffs and bluejaekets from the
United States torpedo boat at Henley
tried to capture Taft.
Sheriff Stier, accompanied by a deputy
and policeman, went to Taffs shanty
situated in strip of woods to arrest
him on an order by Supreme Court JUS
tice Van Sicklen for contempt of court.
When the officers informed Taft of their
mission he picked up shotgun and fired
at them The sheriff dropped to the floor
mortally wounded. Mrs. Taft, who had
admitted the sheriff, fled from the shanty
and Taft ran to the roof armed with
rifle and liberal supply OF ammunition.
Police reinforeements soon arrived and
the shanty was surrounded. Taft could
be seen distinctly on the roof smoking
his pipe with his rife poised for action.
He fired several shots which were re-
turned by the police and deputy sheriffs.
After five men had been wounded by the
squatter, Sergeant Fitzgerald obtained
an automatic rifle from the torpedo boat
and approaching the house ordered Taft
to surrender.
Taft fired at Fitzgerald and the latter
a former United States soldier, returned
the fire. Taft fell dead on the roof OF
the shanty.
The police said last night that Taft
probably had been mentally unbalanced,
due to his failure to perfect the inven
ton of a FIN" propeller for motor boats.
He wasted his money, 1t was said, in flu
tile efforts to have the propeller placed
on the market.
A judgment for 5000 had been obtained
against Taft. This was followed by a
court order to show cause in supple
nentary proceedings. He was fined $3.50
for failing to appear and his non-ap |
oearance in court again to pay the fine
