War Rise On
Silver B0therS
The Missionary

New York, March l0.-Robert E.
Speer, Rev. DR.. Arthur J. Brown, Rev.
DR.. A. Woodruff Halsey and FIVE or
six other well known Presbyterian
leaders and speakers, out in various
cities calling on business people per-
sonally to contribute money-such is
the up-to-date way, and such the ex-
tent to which jealous men go to get
money The goal of these leaders is
$l,0OO,000, and they report $4,000
subscribed. The money is needed for
extraordinary purposes in many for
eign helds-a college in Persia, $780,
900 for Latin America, the mass
movement in India, other needs in
China and Japan. Campaigns just
held in Pittsburgh, Detroit, Cleveland,
Chicago and St. Louis took these
leaders into many Offices for inter-
views in efforts to get funds. They
report getting gifts of S. to $4,000.
They are next to go to Philadelphia,
Baltimore, Washington and New
York and do the same.
A plea OF these workers is that not
less than $265,000 is needed to meet
advanced rates on money in Mexico,
China, Persia and other countries.
Silver has to be purchased at bullion
rates to pay missionaries. Where IS
cents formerly answered, 81 is now
needed to meet certain unit in Per-
STA, and where AZ cents formerly an
swered for one unit in China, 90 cents
is now necessary. Transportation of
people and freight has gone up 50 to
Is per cent because of the war, and in
some countries is hardly to be OBJ
tanned at any price. Hence the neces-
sity, so these leaders are said to feel,
that they themselves go into counting
rooms and into homes and secure
money, without depending on church
offerings. The $l,000,000 is in addi-
lion to the usual receipts.
