gin work on Monday. and -the sew

The work rooms at the club house
were open until the middle OF August
when many members left for their
homes. 1t was expected that all de-
partments of the war service work
would reopen the first OF October, but
the influenza epidemic interfered and
caused q postponement

President Received
Bishop Gore.

One particularly interesting visitor
we have with US this weekend, the
Ri. Rev. Charles Gore. D. n, d. c. L.
lord bishop of Oxford. who is the
guest OF the Rt Rev. Alfred Harding.
bishop Of Washington Bishop Gore
was in Washington in 1907. but he
was then canon OF Westminster and
possibly some OF those who met him
and remember him pleasantly may
not recognize him under his new
title. Since that time the distin-
Euished prelate has been successfully
bishop of Worcester, bishop of Biz
mingham and bishop Of oxford.
The bishop Is to be received by the
President tomorrow, and yesterday
Bishop Harding gave pleasant little
tea at which the clergy Of the do
cese had opportunity to meet him
All OF which is reminiscent OF the
visit of the Ri Rev. Cosmo Gordon
Lang, archbishop of York. who was
in Washington last Easter and stayed
with Bishop Harding what time he
was not the guest OF Lord and Lady
Reading at the British embassy.

Bishop Gore preached this morning
at Epiphany Church. and is to ad-
dress a mass meeting this afternoon
at the First Congregational Church.

him will have better luck than
those who turned out 70 hear the
archbishop.
One of the pleasant incidents OF
the week was Mrs. Wilson's visit to
the green houses OF the Agricultural
Department, as the guest OF the Sec
rotary OF Agriculture and AIRS. Hous-
ton to see the lovely fluffy white
mum" christened the, Mrs. Wood
row Wilson in her honor. More
over. she had the added pleasure OF
selecting the name for fine new
bronze pompom chrysanthemum.
for her mother. Mrs. William H.
Boiling. 1t having been thought
best on account OF the influenza
epidemic not to open the chrysan-
themum show to the public, the
blossoms were cut the day following
Mrs. Wilson's visit A few choice
ones were sent to the White House
others to the hospitals and a great
cluster OF Mime. Jusserands." a new
variety named for the wife of the
French ambassador. the doyenne o.
the diplomatic corps. was sent to
the FrencR embassy.
Another interesting event of the
week was the celebration on Wed
nesday-October 5I-of the offIcia,
birthday OF the Emperor of Japan.
Unfortunately, however. only the
Japanese residents or Washington
and the members of the embassy
staff, of course. were privileged to
take part in the picturesque cere-
monies at the embassy. The dinner
usually given by the Japanese am
bassador TO bring the day to a suit
able conclusion was cancelled this
year.
How considerate OF the Emperor
10 pc porn IN chrysanthemum time
was my first thought when the ceIe-
bration was mentioned: and thea /
learned that he wasn't. He was born
the last day OF August instead of the
last day of October. but by imperial
decree his official birthday is October
81. The reason is not symbolic, as
one might expect, but purely prac-
teal In Japan August is the hot
test month of the year. most of the
officials slip away for vacations and.
in short. the Son OF Heaven doesn't
feel that It is an appropriate time
TO have a birthday. October, on the
other hand. is a beautiful month, the
chrxsanthemum Is in its glory and
the signs are all propitious. The cele-
bration OF the Emperor's anniversary
marks the opening of the social sea

Free Legal Advice to Soldiers.

e The object of the Council of De

merely to make free legal advice avail
able to all drafted men. 1t is to see
each man called under the draft and
make sure that every preparation
Which the hest legal skill can devise

absence. This requires that the menu

themselves fully as to the contingent

cial situation, consider with them

whether further preparation should be
made for leasing. and the possible sui
leasing of property; whether. especially
if Il man is married. it is not advisable
for him to execute rower-of-attorney
to his wife or some other person,
whether he has attended to such insur-
ance policies as he may have, whether
he understands thoroughly the War
Risk Insurance Law and the protec
ton afforded by the Soldiers an d
Sailors Civil Relief Act, and whether
in other ways the legal preparation
cannot be made now while he is at
home and able to attend to it. so that
when he goes to camp or to the front
his mind will not be troubled by hay
ing to attend to business affairs ut

WHAT TO DO WITH GERMANY.

1t is estimated that ten million lives
have been lost during the four years of
war. The estimate was not given as to
the proportionate number of the Allies.
hut every German lost is a decided
gain to civilization. It is seemingly
strange that one barharous nation can
rise to power and infiict such damage
upon the world. threatening the extinc-
ton of civilization. We all know if
Germany triumphs what will be our
fate. We have but to point to Belgium
and Northern France.
That such brutal country as Ger
many sbOnld he permitted to rise to
such a Eower was the fault of the civ
lied nations. They knew that Germany
had lived by plundering territory. and
was founded on territory wrested from
weak and defenseless people. 1t was
their duty to see that this enemy of
civilization should be stopped in its
career of robbery.
What shall lie done with Germany at
the end of the war: is Il matter that
may now be discussed for her power is
practically broken, and she will scon
go down in defeat. No civilized nation
wants any German territory. nor any
association with such barbaric people.
But. the territory should lie so divided
that there will never again lie Il pow
erful German nation. Germany. as a
political division should he obliterated
from the map Of the world. 1t has in
fiicted such damage upan the world,
and so many crimes against humanity,
that the very name of Germany should
be doomed to ObScurity. Contact with
such people is degradation and social
death. 1t may lie well to partition the
territory among Russia, Turkey and
other harbaric countries. and let these
people work out their own destruction.
But. no German should ever be allowed
to migrate to any of the allied nations.
They are outlaws. and should hence
forth, individually and collectively. be
treated as Sucll-enemies to civilization
and Christianity.
