UNIVERSITY LETTER.
RELIGIOUS TRAINING
In The State Institutions.

by Ray II, Legate, Sec. NJ. Christian Assctn.
THE State institutions are sur
prisingIy religious and christian. :"
This is the deliberate statement OF
John r. Mott. who knows the stu
dent life, not only of our America,
but OF the whole world, better than
any living mao. He goes on to say
that people are amazed to learn that
over half of the students and three
fourths of the professors iii State
universities are members of chris
tian Churches In the University of
Mississippi, the percentages are lar
ger than the average. Our Univer-
sity is wide open to the christian
propaganda. The students and pro-
fessors are responsive The harvest
is actually wasting. This situation
is challenge to our Alumni. and to
parents with sons and daughters.
here, and to the churches of the
State.
No knows the tragedy in some
young lives better than those of us
who live in the heart Of the campus.
But be who judges the whole stu
dent body by this small segment, is
,either ignorant of the facts, or re-
veals prejudioed mind. One of the
brightest pages in the history Of
Christianity, is that chapter which
tells of the extension and accom-
plishment of the Christian religion
mong student classes. The churches
and the Christian Associations are
finding themselves, and IN Oxford
they are working in the closest har-
mony, and with telling effect. There
is a concerted effort to relate all stu
dents to the church and Sunday
School OF their choice. These efforts
are supplemented by Bible classes
and DEVOTIONAL meetings on the cam
pus.
College men do not want talking
religion. They want dong religion.
See the evidence. Thew. are con
splcuous by their absence at testi-
monv meetings. But 27S North A.
melican students actually reached
the foreign mission field during the
past twelve months. This brings
the the number of sailed volunteers
up to 616l. During the last college
session, some 10000 students were
reported at work in social service
Membership in the student Y. NJ. G.
A is nearing 100, 900, with Az, 900 IN
Bible classes on the Campus, an
equal number in curriculum Bible
classes, ard $4,000 in church Bible
Glasses. This is all supplementary
to the regular work in the churches
and Sunday School.
In our own University. there are
80 students meeting every week, for
council ana prayer. Each Council
man has Friendship group of 8 of
his fellow students The real ob.
ject of these men is to lead their
fellows to progressive faith IN G d
through Jesus Christ. and into mem
bership and service in the christian
church. Our workers cuvet the co
operation especially through the in
tercession of Christian believers
throughout the State.

TROOPS TO EUROPE SOON.
Regulars and Guardsmen to Be Sent
To Front as Soon as Tranp0rts
Are Secured.

Washington, May 2.-The French
Commissioners today had assurances
that the American government is will
ing to send troops to France-one of
the urgent recommendations they
brought to this country-when the AL.
lies believe they can spare the neces-
sary ships for transporting an army
and equipment across the Atlantic.
The administration has put aside
the obiectioniof the army general staff
to send any troops to the battle front
until big force has been raised and
trained for nearly year, and has de-
cided that for the sake of the moral
effect of Americas actual participa-
ton in the trench battle, small con-
tingent shall go forward as soon as
possible.
This will be soon, it is believed, al
thought the government is mindful that
nearly 100000 tons of shipping would
be required for a regular army unit
of $4,000.
The house and senate conferees TO-
day began the task Of adjusting diff
fcrences over the annual army appro-
priation bill and as soon as settlement
is reached, they will seek to reach an
agreement on the war army bill, re-
passed yesterday by the senate, over
which there are more serious disa-
greements.
Prospects are that the house confer
ees will refuse to agree to the senate
amendment to permit Col. Roosevelt
to raise volunteer army for foreign
service.
Most of the other major differences
are believed to be susceptible of adj
justment. A compromise fixing the
age limit for draft is expected to be
fixed at from 81 as a minimum age
and IS as the maximum age.
Vice Admiral Chorcreprat, repre-
senting the ministry of marines in the
French ministry here, declared in a
statement today that he had every
reason to hope that we shall succeed
in establishing the closest cooperation
between the American and the Allied
navies for the assurance of freedom
of the seas, the protection of trade and
the triumph of our rights.

Especial Correspondence.)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10-A bill to
create a public employment service
for the effective distribution of labor
to meet the wars demand for in
creased output has been introduced in
Congress by Senator Joseph T. Robin
son of Arkansas and Representative
Edward Keating of Colorado, as an
emergency measure.
The bill extends and unifies all
labor exchange activities of the gov
ernment, placing them on an indie
pendent basis in the Department of
Labor, in charge of a director to be
appointed by the President. 1t also
provides an inducement for improved
service by granting financial aid to
state and city employment bureaus
cooperating with the national service.
Present System Is Lacking.
The war work of the government,
it is pointed out, is being seriously
hampered because a comprehensive
system of labor distribution is lacking
in this country. The service proposed
in the bill is in accord with proposals
for the efficient organization and con-
duct of labor placement on a nation
meeting the situation by providing for
unified control and uniformity of pol
icy, specifying clearly the functions
of the new service and giving direct
financial inducement to states and
cities for fitting into the govern
ment's plan.

HONEST JOHN LAWSON
From the Wyoming Labor
Journal.

1t hasn't been in the province of all
the union men of Wyoming to become
acquainted with John r. Lawson just
elected president of the Colorado State
Federation of Labor. As Information
al board member of District / ;, United
Mine Workers, Brother Lawson be-
came a nationally known figure but
too few have had the privilege Of meet
ing him at close range. It has been
said Of Lawson that no one has ever
heard him speak an i'll word of even
his worst enemy. This in itself should
offer clear index to the character of
this man who has played such large
part in the labor movement of our sis
ter state.
We know Of few men we have met
who has a clearer, more comprehen-
sivc view of the struggle Of labor for
betterment and none have come to our
notice who have been more conscien-
tious in their observance of the obli-
cations they have taken. We are not
saying that Lawson hasn't made mis-
takes-to say that would be to ascribe
to him qualities of a superman-but his
mistakes have been of the head and
not of the heart.
We are not eulogizing Lawson when
we make the statement that his con-
nection with the organized labor move
ment has been of such n nature to re
fleet credit on it. We are not given
to hero worship, nor to laud too high
ly those who do their duty by the or
ganization. but when so many imagine
they do their full duty when they
merely pay their dues we believe that
men of the Lawson type should be
given credit for their activity.
As president of the State Fedora
tion in our sister state Lawson will
give the best that is in him to the cx-
tension of the labor movement and the
harmonizing of its affiliatcs.
