KAISER PLANNED
To GET AUSTRALIA

MELBOURNE, Australia, May I'll
Germany's designs upon Australia as
Part of her reputed comprehensive poll
icy of attaining command of the Pers-
ian Gulf and control of the sea routes
converging upon the Suez Canal have
been revealed among certain striking
facts just made public by the federal
authorities. These revelations deal
with German espionage chiefly on the
eve of the war.
AS northern West Australia is but a
few days by steam from southern Asia
and, of all the Australian states, West
Australia is the most thinly peopled, it
would appear that German scheming
and spying were directed upon that
part of the continent in particular. An
Intercepted detailed report from Ger
man missionary who had lived for
nine years at Broome in the northern
part of West Australia is believed by
Australian officials to bear out this
presumption.
The missionary is the Rev. Joseph
Bischofs, of the Pallotiner congrega-
ton, Limberg, Prussia. An organiza-
ton styled The Society for the Pro-
lection of Germans Abroad" put fifty
IN
prise a minute and intimate account of
the physical and commercial attributes
of northwestern Australia. The report
is marked strictly confidential" and
is dated July 10, ia. Among other
things the Rev. MIR Bischofs was asked
if he could furnish photographs, and
correct maps of your town, your
country, province, ETC." To the former
question he replied, Perhaps, later
According to information in possess
ion of the Commonwealth Defence De-
partment German representative in
Australia remarked to an Australian
official some time before the war broke
out that the Commonwealth was max
ing very little use of the northwestern
part of Australia and that it would
serve admirably for a German settle
ment. The department officials are
convinced that the questions put to the
Rev. Mr.. Bischofs were with the utter
Tor motive of providing the German
Government with data about what it
believed to be vulnerable part of the
Commonwealth. The Bischofs report
was made public by the Australian au-
thorities.

INTERESTING PROGRAM
RENDERED At LESLIE

LESLIE, Ca, May 21.-The local
High school is now in the midst of its
annual commencement exercises. The
iust part was carried out Saturday
night when the pupils of Miss Helen
Argo gave a delightful music recital.
The young ladies taking part in the
program cid well and reflected much
credit on their capable instructor for
the past two years.
1 Rev Eph Wisenhunt, of Mercer uni
yersity, Macon, preached the annual
commencement sermon at the Baptist
church Sunday morning at ii o'clock.
! At 10:45 this morning the pupils OF

/ Mrs Taylor, gave an entertaining pro
gram. This was followed by a friend
ly oratorical contest between Cato
Wilson, Arliss Stewart and Clarence
Hudson. The pupils of the Second,
Third, Fourth and Fifth grades, then
gave a patriotic drill. The drill was
composed by Misses Roberts and Sid
dali. and was one of the best features
OF the whole commencement festivi-
ties.
Tonight the Sixth and Seventh
grades will present a play, "Cupid's
Joke" The Eighth grade will furnish
an excellent play, The Convalescenee
of Robbie" followed by the Ninth
Grades play, by Cousin Jimmy" Mu-
sic will be rendered between the plays

and Seventh grades will give another
play, "A Patriotic Peanut Stand"

jtest A medal is offered to the one

.PREsBYTER|ANSM MAY
UNITE DIVISIONS

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, May I'll
Whether the Southern Presbyterian
/ Church will withdraw as member of
! the Federal Council of the Churches OF
Christ in America and whether the
church will endorse proposal to unite
with the Northern Presbyterian Church
are expected to be determined at the
meeting of the general assembly of the
! Presbyterian Church in the United
States now in session at Birmingham.
Certain action taken by the Federal
Council of Churches in political mat
tiers caused the general assembly to
lodge a protest with the council at its
L Getting last December. The councils
reply will be presented at the Biz
mingham meeting and the general as
sembly is expected to decide whether
to accept it as satisfactory or withdraw
from the council.
In its reply the council says: 1t is
our judgment that with proper un-
derstanding of the situation there is no
real line of cleavage between the prin-
ciples of the Presbyterian church in
the United States and the Constitution
of the Federal Council We think it
proper, however, to reccomend that the
Federal Council clearly reaffirm it's
adherence to that absolute separation
OF Church and state which is one of
the cherished heritages of the great
body of American Professionalism. The
churches of the Federal Council stand
squarely upon this historic principle. "
The subject of organic union of the
northern and southern Presbyterian
churches is certain to occupy prom
inent place in the proceedings as it is
known that overtures touching it will
be presented from several Presbyteries.
Church leaders, it is said, are of the
opinion that any steps toward closer
relation of churches should include all
tie Presbyterian and Reformed church
es in the United States.
Special interest attaches to the report
of the committee appointed by the as
cembly last year to confer with the
board of directors of Oglethorpe Uni
versity to determine whether some
agreement could be reached regarding
the relationship of the University to
the Southern Presbyterian church, The
university was erected at Atlanta as
the result fefforts of Presbyterians
If dividually but has never been en-
dorsed by the assembly.
The key note of the general assembly
this year is family religion" The
permanent committee on Sabbath and
family religion will present a report
showing that within the last few
months more than 1900 members of
the church have joined the Family AL
tar League" and have pledged them
selves to conduct daily religious wor-
ship in their homes.
This years assembly is the first to
recognize the reorganized Afro-Amer-
lean synod.

ENGLISH PEOPLE
To
NEW GOVERNMENT

LONDON, May 21-In the days inn
Imediately following the abdication of
the Car, one frequently heard this:
King George next" One seldom hears
it now. A revolution like Russia 5
clearly is not in the public mind.
In the first place the people of Eng
land have no particular fault to find
with their king. References to his
German blood are commonplace, but
this is regarded as his misfortune rath-
CT than his fault and there is none to
say he has not played up to his part
as an Englishman.
Any dissatisfaction that may have
been felt at any time with the manage
ment of England's part in the war was
not directed against the King. Incl
dentally, it would be hard to find any
dissatisfaction on that score since the
rev advance on the west front has
begun
1t is the same with social unrest
Sufferers from economic conditions
warmade or otheTwise-do not lay the
blame at the door of the Buckingham
Palace The expense of maintaining
TIE English throne lays little burden
on the people. Whereas confiscating
the Cars lands meant adding an es
tate as large as all Germany and al.
aost as rich in resources to the pub
lie wealth, such a confscation in
Great Britain would make only an inn
perceptible increase. For years it has
been a boast in England that royalty
is supported here at less expense than
in any other important country.
Persistent inquiry reveals that the
labor forces of this country have not
thought of anti-monarchial outbreak,
political or otherwise Labor leaders
have their minds focused on industrial
problems of the present and, even
raorc, Oh the geTat problems that must
be faced when the armies are demob-
iized
They will tell you that if anybody IS
agitating the adjustment of hereditary
in England it is not the
workers. The monarchy, they agree,
plays too little part in the relations
between employees and employers to-
Justify any objections on their part.
Some even suggested that an anti
monarchial demonstration may be
formented by quite other forces, These
other forces are represented-in this
view-by the general term Capital.
Capital, it is argued, would fall in with
a program calculated to divert public
attention from industrial trouble Big
employers would sacrifice the throne to
save their profits, according to this
argument
On the other hand there are those
who believe that Capital and the No
bility are so intermingled, so many cap
italists being mobiles and so many no.
bles being capitalists, that Capital
would not be guilty of so short-sighted
a policy. Remove royalty and you re-
move the nobility. they explain, since
there can't be the latter without the
former.
Capital will give up its titles before
il gives up its profits is the answer
of the earnest industrial reformer to
tits. He insists an industrial revolu-
ton is coming and that it cannot be
diverted by any agitation against the
throne.
