Wilson influence Great
The French people tell me that Pres
ident Wilson is n great influence IN tnelr
country; that his declaration of war
aims has made a great impression, and
That hereafter the value Of diplomacy
as war weapon will not be lost
sight Of. l.
The additionally fine feeling be
tween the people OF France and those
of America has been strengthened even
moro aimee the arrival of the American
troops. Little things like Pershingo
speech when he placed wreath on
I.afayette's grave and said, Lafayette
we are here" have strengthened the
bonds uniting the two peoples.
The chief fear Of many Frenchmen
ia that their countrymen will allow
.heir admiration TO defeat their good
judgment and that they will expect
more from America than is physically
possible.
In any case, the change in govern
ment is regarded as marking new
staoe in Frances attitude toward the
question OF war aims. There is no
change in the spirit Of France. Rather
should il be said that her steadfastness
remains the same, but that there will
be change in the methods she Will
use in attaining her aims. While de-
pending much as ever upon military

He had been 20 Spain and France on

and will go TO Washington tomorrow
for a conference al the White House.
Mr.. Norgcnthau said that he spent
five weeks IN Spain and the remainder
of his time in France. He visited the
British army headquarters and met Sir
Douglas Haie and Sir Arthur Currie,
and later visited the first line trenches
at Ypres and Lens, where he had the
experience Of being under fire for sew
ersl days.
While in Paris Mrs Morgenthau was
decorated by President Poincare with
the Legion Of Honor in recognition o.
her services at the French Hospital in
ConstAntinople.
The liner brought back several
American army officers, who had been
At the French front for four months as
observers. One, colonel, said that
the American soldiers showed re.
msrkable morale, which was the talk of
all France.
"They are anxious TO take their
place in the line of battle" he said,
h.nd when they are ready there is no
doubt that they will pierce the German
lines promptly"
Another arrival today was the Hon

Higher Freight Rates
On Meats Suspended
I. c. c. Denies General In
creases on Lines East
of Mississippi

WASHINGTON, Sept. ll.-Proposed
general increases in freight rates on
livestock and fresh and dressed meats
on virtually all lines east OF the mis-
sissippi, which were to become ell
fectiye September IS. were suspended
to-day by the Interstate Commerce
Commission until January IL next.
The proposed rates covered virtually
all territory east Of the Mississippi
and north OF the Ohio River. They
were the outgrowth of the 10 per cent
rate case in which the railroads sought
to obtain a fat increase of 10 per cent
on virtually all products handled.
Failing to receive the is per cent
increase, the roads filed new tariffs
proposing increases in the rates on
livestock and meats.
The amount of the increases is not
stated in the commissions order, but
is understood to have been substantial
on a number Of the chief lines.

Government

LONDON, Sept, News has reached
London that the Turkish government
has withdrawn Djemal Pacha, the most
hated official in Asia Minor, from his
post Of Governor Of Palestine, owing
to the intense feeling which his meth
obs aroused among the population.
Djemal's successor has not been an
nounced, but it is believed some effort
will be made by the Turkish admins
traitors to improve conditions IN Pales-
tine.
The growing hostility Of the civilian
populace recently proved d heavy mil
itary handicap. owing to the Indercur-
rent Of sympathy with the Sheriff Of
Heiaz. whose Increasing prestige among
the Arab element throughout Asia
Minor is causing the Turks most serI-
Gus concern.

French People Tired
OF Ribot, and Premier
Got Tired of Ruling
By Arthur 6. Draper

LONDON, Sept. 1.-THE French sit
uation is clear. Ribot failed because
the French people tired Of him and ne
grew tired of running the country
When, last winter, he assumed the
leadership he dominated the War Coun-
Gil conferences; he settled quickly all
differences Of opinion. Things moved
along fairly smoothly until the Cham.
pagne offensive, when the French paid
dearly for their gains, and Ribot was
no longer able 20 lead the War Coun-
ell debates with his former authority.
Minister OF Munitions Thomas went
TO Russia, where he stayed two months.
On his return, he told Ribot that
France must restate her war aims.
President Wilson'S idea Of league Of
nations" had gained many converts in
France and Russia, and Thomas in
sisted that Ribot must recognize the
change in conditions that followed the
Allies joint reply 70 the Presidents
peace offer.
Late in July Ribot's position became
critical. The Bonnet Rouge" episode,
with all its unsavory details, created a
great impression, and finally Ribot had
to let Malvy 20. Ribot endeayored to
enlist the support of the Socialists,
but they scorred his efforts because
they considered he had not kept up
with the change in conditions.
Socialists Forced Ribot Out

gates 10 the recent inter-Allied Social
list conference here proposed that a

greater concerted efforts in behalf of
| the church. 1t came about as a result
of special week of services in Febru-
airy, 1906.
Three Were Leaders
John H. Johnson, DR.. S. Edgar Bond
and BENJAMIN H. Johnson made strong
pleas for such union. At this time
there was no such organization in the
country, and it is believed that the ac-
ton of the church influenced the
growth of the moveme nt which has re-
suited in the formation of Unions and
Brotherhoods in churches of all de.
nominations.
The Temperance Crusade is another
thing which the South Eighth Street
Friends largely participated. Prayer
meetings were held at the church and
the women marched in professions to
the doors of the saloons Of the city
where they. sat guard, telling those
who entered the effects Of John Bar
leyccrn.
1t was the Women Friends of this
Meeting who were instrumental in or
ganizing the Home of the Friendless
which has sheltered many an unfor-
tunate and given him a new hold on
life
Membership once 463.
The membership of the church at
one time reached 463. When the East
Main Street Preparative Meeting was
established in 1873 many of the mem
bers transferred their membership to
that meeting for the sake OF conven-
fence More members left when the
West Richmond Monthly Meeting was
set up.
The membership at present is more
than $50.
The South Eighth Street Friends
church has been instrumental in
changing many customs of Quakers.
The "unsocial practice" of men sitting
on one side of the church and the
women on the other never existed in
that church.

Fifty years ago, today-September
Is, 1s67-the first meeting of Friends
was held in the South Eighth Street
Friends church, where the first gen.
eral conference of Friends in America
was held in 1887.
The fiftieth anniversary of that
meeting will be observed at the church
Sunday with special services. Benja.
min Johnson, one of the first members
of the church will tell of the building
Of the structure, which cost approx
mately $4,000. Mr. Johnson cut all
the timber used in the erection. Will
lam Hiatt will also take the present
members of the church back to the
first meeting.
The general public is invited.
On Progressive Lines.
The South Eighth Street Meeting OF
Friends was the child of a new for
ward movement among Quakers and
was continued along progressive, evan
gelistic lines. The Meeting played a
big part in bringing about the modern
forward movement among Friends, and
changing many old customs.
1t was the first meeting where men
and women were not required to sit at
separate sides of the church
The church conducted the first
Home Mission school: engaged the
first pastor; sent out the first foreign
missionary; had the first organ in the
school room; had the first regularly
established prayer meeting; exper-
fenced the first revival; had the first
Christian Endeavor society; were the
first to allow a minister of another de-
nomination to speak from it's gallery;
were the first to allow a negro to be
member.
Finished In 1867.
The church was organized several
years before the present building was
erected but the building occupied was
rented. From the commencement it
was felt that Friends should occupy a
