VoIce of the Early Church.

Tell me, whence are you rich? From whom have you received? From your grandfather, did you say; from your fatherf Are you able to show, ascend. Ing in the order of generation, that that possession Is just throughout the whole series of preceding generations? It's beginning and root grew necessari- ly out of injustice. Why? Because God did not make this man rich and that man poor from the beginning. Nor. when he created the world, did he allot much treasure to any one man and forbid another to seek any. He gave the same earth to be cultivated by all. Since, therefore, his bounty is common, how comes it that you have so many fields and your neighbor not even clod of earth2 The idea we should have of the rich and covet- ous-they are truly. as robbers who. standing in the public highway. de spoil the passerss-Et.

AFTER THE WAR
 WORLD WILL BE
 COLD AND HUNGRY

Washington, Nov. 3.-"After the war the world vii be weary, cold and hungry and if we are to avoid famine and revolution something will have to be done at once,' said Sidney Webb. 8 political economist, in a speech at the London School of ~Ecbn- omics He asserted that peace would come suddenly and unexpectedly and then the world would be. forced to face great shortage, signs of which were already visible.
 The wheat stocks of the world, he said, Lad been reduced to the small est amount ever known and there would be shortage of one pound of whea. each day to person. FlOcks and berds all over the world would be much diminished. Even the pig was rapidly disappearing. Metals. coal. timber, hides and leather and all building materials would be at famine scarcity.
 One-eighth of the worlds popula- tion, he declared, was engaged in non-p-oductive work. The economy that could be set up against that was very small.
 There would be long interval be- tween demobilization and the repair ing of the devastation and waste. Dur ing that interval there would be unem- ployraent in all the countries, caus- ing an unproductivencss that would mean rather a money than a food famine.
 "We should now be making prepar- ations to revictual the world If we are 10 avoid shortage developing into . famine," said Mir. Webb.
 Sir Arthur Japp, director or food economy, in speech at Huddersfield, also referred to the world shortage of food, the possible shortage Of mon ey end men and appealed for econ omy in every direction.

TELEPHONE GIRLS
 AND NEGOTIATIONS
Crucial Difference in Fort Smith rel epbone Strike Is Re-smploy-
 ment of Two Women.

Little Rock, Nov. 3.-Declining to deal further with the Southwestern Telephone company until 1t had agreed to reinstate one supervisor and one operator, Misses Garrett and Bo- ger, representing tho striking tele- phone operators at Fort Smith, put a temporary end to the negotiations in the office of Gov. c. H. Brough Satur- day. It was stated that Merchants of Fort Smith had agreed to give em' tployment to these individuals at wages equal to or greater than that paid them by the telephone company, but the operators representatives clair,ed it was a matter of princi- ple and they would not proceed fur ther with the negotiations unless the telephone company receded from its position. Representatives of the tel ephone company declared their will ingness to reinstate 42 of the strik' Ing employees, but the two in question had been discharged prior to the strike because of attractions of the company rules, and would not be re employed. Misses Garrett and Boger claimed they had been discharged be- cause of their activities in the organ ixation of the union.
 Recognizing the Union.
 Ths question of recognizing the un- iou has not been pressed by the strik' CTS, but until the mooted question has been dispensed with. there can be no further negotiations.
 Governor Brough and Attorney Gen eral Arbuckle spent a good portion of the day meeting with the repre- sentatives of first one side and then tho other. Governor Broushf ex' presssc himself as being hopeful ot . resumption of negotiations early in ths week, permitting the arbiters to 70 into the question of wages and conditions and settling the Fort Smith strike.

WILL BACK FULTZ
Demaree, Pitcher for Phillies, Issues Call for Meeting of Players in Windy City Tomorrow.

Chicago, Jan. 15-A letter setting forth the views of David l.. Fultz, president of the Baseball Players Fraternity, in regard to calling a gen. eral strike is to be read at the meet ing of ball players to be held here Tuesday night, Al Demaree, a mem- Der of the Philadelphia National league club, announced today.
 Demaree said, however, he could give no hint as to the contents of Fultz's letter Demaree issued the call for the meeting at the request of President Fultz and has appealed to major league players residing in and near Chicago to attend. Between twenty and thirty are expected to be present, he said.
 Demaree declared that nineteen out of twenty ball players in the Ma tional league were members of the fraternity and that if Fultz called a strike every member would join in a walkout.
 ''The fraternity members are back of Fultz,' he said. They believe in Fultz, notwithstanding reports to the contrary"

more to do with nc and you would be right. But in minds of many young men arc mental pictures of events lewd, vulgar. far worse than any that might be placed on a wall. Far better would it be to have them pasted on the wall. than on the walls of our mind. The man who is thus is surely as bad at heart as the other" Where do you young men spend your evenings and your idle hours. and what do you do? DO you spend them in the proper places, or in some more sinister resort where vulgar stories and vulgar deeds predomi- nate?" MT. Fultz asked. He then urged each youth and young man to live a clean life, have clean thoughts and clean speech. It is an unjust re- flection on your parents if you do not for people will surely say that young man has not been reared carefully" when the parents are oftimes not at fault.
 And more convincing than any, was the speakers argument for clean liv- ing when he referred to "Mother." What do you think are tho feelings of her who has gone down into the valley of the shadow of death that
  into that valley again and again for you, who has watched over you all your years. who has cried for you and who would unflinchingly die for you with a smile on her lips. What do you think are her feelings when, having attained the age of maturity. you go out into the world moral, civil and mental failure? Young men. think carefully of these things and you will not wander from the right path" he said.
 Concerning religion and Christian ity, MT. Fultz averred that no man should be ashamed. There may be some of you who came in here today through rear door for fear that some of your friends might see you and laugh because you were entering Christian institution. That is wrong. Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, should mean everything to every man. One should never feel queer about acknowledging it either. And let me tell you my friends, Jesus Christ was the .gamest' man that ever lived. He was a man such as each of us today admires. Strong. cour- ageous game
 The story of the Crucifiction was then told by the speaker to bring out the never faltering character Of Christ, who even though He knew He> was to die on the cross, hesitated not.

SAYS FANS WILL OBJECT
Braves Owner Thinks Fans Will Re
 sent Actions of Baseball Players Fratcrnity-Issucs Long Statement.

Boston, Jan. 15.-Percy D. Eaugh- ton, president of the Boston National League club, issued Q statement last night, in which he severely arraigned the Players Fraternity for request ing its members to withhold their signatures from major league con- tracts until such time as the frater- nity's troubles with the minor league have been adjusted. The president
 of the Braves makes the statement that he believes the fans will not sup
 port the fraternity in it's present at-
 titude.
 Mir. Haughton said in part:
 'The Players Fraternity has no fight directly with either of the ma
 jor leagues, and its members freely admit that both the American and National Leagues have kept all agree ments made with the fraternity. They also admit that the new form of con- tract is even more favorable in some of its provisions than the fraternity had expected.
 ''The fraternity's grievance is not with the major league clubs nor with the National Com mission, but with the National Association of Minor Leagues and its National Board. It should be borne in mind that the
 major leagues have absolutely no voice in the management or control
 Of the National Association, an entire ly independent organization. There fore, it strikes me that to annoy the major league club owners by re- fusing to sign contracts proffered by them to their players is hardly fair particularly as the fraternity mem bers recognize that the major leagues in no way control the acts of the Ma
 tional Association of Minor Leagues No major league club owner be- lieves the present situation will result
 more seriously for the major leagues than temporary annoyance, and I be. l lieve that the fraternity cannot make l any stronger move in popular esteem I than to release the members from l their obligation to refuse to sigr
 major league contracts at this time
 and to devote it's efforts in obtaining 1 the concessions desired from tn,
 minor leagues by direct dealing witf
 the National Commission of Mino ! League clubs in whatever manne
 seems most desirable to the frater ! nifty.

The Heavyweight Outlook.

It is now about time the heavy weight situation was developing a faint touch of speed. This part of the game has been sagging now for the last sixteen or seventeen Nears-ever since Jeffries, Corbett, Fitzsimmons and Sharkey were launching fusillades a. one another, nearly two decades ago. In the last sixteen years there have been only two heavyweight encoun- ters of more than passing notice. One was the Jeffries-Johnson affair and the other that Havana melee between Johnson and Willard.
 The rest of 1t has been considerably to the piffle.
 The situation today is beginning to loosen up a bit. Willard, with his in creasing weight and his lack of keen competition, certainly isn't getting better. By every law of the game he is pointing down hill. On the other side of things, Fulton and others arc improving. And the time isn't so very far away now. although 1t hasn't ar- rived just yet. when the debate will be close enough to bring back an old time frolic, reinforced by additional pep.
 The lull, having been longer than ,1sual may soon break out into more excitement than the game has known for fifteen or twenty years. Even as 1t stands, a lard-Fulton engagement would start things under way at top speed.

Wonderful ShOtS-and Such.

Dear Sir:
 Every time a great golfer dies or does something else to get him into public print everybody talks about his being a wonderful golfer because he could make such wonderful shots Sometimes, when you are not busy' please have this changed. Rotten as I am, I can make shots that would make champions jealous, and there is a man I start Up who can make
 better shots than I can. The answer is that the good golfer is the fellow who is pretty good always who IS the winner over the long span. All or which accounts for two scores made 1 at Merton some time ago. One player turned in an 8S and two 1O's and two l Ss in his score. Another one Of us | made the 18th hole in 1 3 strokes, the 18th in i and the 14th in 8. And a.
