CHINESE SHOW GREAT SYMPATHY AND FRIENDSHIP IN RED CROSS WORK

memberships Many Chinese schools in Shanghai joined as Junior Auxil- iaries.
 "A number of large Chinese com panies joined with their entire staffs. The Commercial Press with 1000 em- ployes receiving less than $15 a month should have 60 per cent. of the mem bership fees paid by the firm, so that all the members of this large concern went about with Red Cross buttons during the drive. The Shanghai ho- tels also joined, with every waiter, bell boy and coolies wearing a Red Cross with pride.
 "The captain of one of the Chinese teams expressed surprise at the gen eral response of the poorer classes to the Red Cross appeal. It was no un- common occurrence to have a coolie on the street answer a request to join with such remarks as:
 America has always been the friend of China. She gave back to China the Boxer indemnity and did | other things to help us. Now I am glad to join the American Red Cross and help America
 | "A poor man, receiving wages ot less than $10 a month, sent us from Ningpo, 100 miles south of Shanghai by courier post, not knowing that China has a modern postal admins tration, at a cost of IS cents for deliv- cry and Is cents for return receipts
 $50 for membership in the Rec | Cross. He stated that he had heard his friends tell how friendly the Unit
 ed States had been to China and ht wanted to join this great society"

Terrific Heat
 Broken By Storm

A light shower and cooling winds last night brought the mercury down many points below the high standard at which it was set during the week and permitted the Bridgeport popu- lace to enjoy release from the terri fic heat.
 Shortly after o'clock yesterday a barn in the rear of the residence of Dr. Andrew McQueeney, on Madison road off Vincellette street, was struck by lightning which started a fire and totally destroyed the building with a loss of about s5,o00. On account of the electrical storm raging it was with difficulty that telephonic connection was made informing the Fire depart ment.
 The barn contained large quantities of hay. and other valuable stocks which were totally lost,

BRITISH PATROL YACHT
 SINKS X SUBMARINE

London, Aug 10.-Details of the sinking of German submarine bv British armed yacht in the English Channel are now given.
 Just after sunset one day 8 call for help was picked up by the yacht, which immediately headed in the di- rection indicated, diverting several steamers from the danger zone as sns went. Half an hour later the look outs sighted the periscope of a sub- marine, which was apparently prepar- ing to attack merchantmen approach ing from the opposite direction. The periscope was barely 15O feet from the port bow of the yacht
 Full speed was at once ordered, and the yacht drove right over the sub marine just as the periscope disap- peared. A distinct jar throughout the yacht pointed to the probability that she had rammed the enen1v's coming tower. Two depth charges were dropped almost immediately af- terward.
 While bringing his vessel around to pass over the spot again the Cap- tain of the yacht observed a disturb ance in the water, and as he ap- preached there appeared in the cen. tre of the disturbance a bubbIina rush of water, evidently caused bI volumes of air escaping to the sur. face. A third depth charge was dropped in the center of the disturb. ance, which presently died away.
 One survivor, covered with a thick | coating of oil was picked up. Every. thing possible was done for him or | board the yacht, but it soon becam, ] evident he had suffered serious in. ternal injuries. He died about thre, | hours later.

"Is THIS GODS WORLD?"

Dr. George L. Cady of New York city will speak on this question at the morning service of the United church.

LEASE BUDDHIST
 TEMPLES IN CHINA FOR SUMMER HOME

Peking, Aug. 1o.-"Temple par ties' constitute a popular form of di- version for the summer months in Picking. The hills to the westward are dotted with so-called temples rambling compounds of one-story buildings built centuries ago by em- perors in memory of departed ances- tors. The buildings invariably sur round a paved court or often a series of such courts, shaded as a rule by century-old trees. In the temple proper is still to be found a gigantic "buddha" or idol before whom joss sticks are lighted at intervals by priests and acolytes of whom there are generally a half dozen all told, oc- cupying a portion of the compound.
 It is quite easy and inexpensive to secure the use of one of these tenn ples-one or more of the unoccupied subsidiary buildings-for a. week end, a week or the whole summer. They are entirely without furniture except insofar as a raised platform where-on the Chinese used to sleep might be called furniture. Once installed the occupant enjoys absolute peace and quiet by day. As a rule he sleeps in the company of one of the lesser "buddhas'' who is hidden behind a curtain. The only intrusion upon his privacy occurs when the priest or aco-N lyte Spring food and places it before the Adol and returns later to remove what the rats have left of it.
 A number of the o1dtimers in Pe- king have their temple leased year after year and pass the summer there. For the novice, owing to the general lack of everything that makes for comfort once is enough. It is a. thing however, that everybody must do once

New Scout Headquarters.

On and after Aug. 15 Boy Scout headquarters will be located on the second floor of the Security building. We hope at last that we have secured the place we have been looking for for two years and that the location can be a permanent one. It will be both central and accessible. Scouts and leaders who visit headquarters will not be obliged to use an elevator as it is only one flight up.
 The attention of the Scouts is called to the fact that the Recreation Com mittee have established wall at Sea- side park for wall scaling. Wall seal ing is a splendid exercise and is con- ducted in the following manner Starting from line run to the wall, go over the wall and cross a finish line. It is time event. The team consists of a patrol of eight boys any eight boys of a troop being a pa trol.
 Headquarters hopes that if the cool weather approaches many troops will avail themselves of this splendid game.
