Christ or "the" Christ

Protestants do not use the article
before the word Christ although from
pathological viewpoint this is quit,
Incorrect. As everyone knows, Chris
Is an adjective In Greek. meaning an
ointed. Now, an adjective cannot b,
employed alone without a name or an
article. We can. therefore, but say
Jesus Christ, or the Christ Chris
alone has no meaning whatever Also
In view OF the fact that there have beer
several Christs, the term "the Christ
Is more appropriately applied to Jesus
to distinguish the Christian Savior
from all others.

The Bible in Many Tongues.

A prolonged research conducted by the British and Foreign Bible Society has supplied an answer to the ques- tion so often asked, Into how many languages and dialects has the Bible been translated and published?" In order to arrive at an answer which shall be approximately accurate, it must be limited to printed editions which contain, as a rule, at least one complete book of Scripture. Moreover, the standing problem When is dia- lect not a dialect?" must be solved by assuming that two kindered forms of
 speech are sufficiently unlike to be classed separately when Christian mis-
 sionaries find it necessary for their
 purpose to makea distinct version of the Gospel in each of the two forms. i The British and Foreign Bible Society today possess records of editions of the l Scriptures in about 725 languages and dialects. This total, however includes ! CD a few obsolete languages which are
 represented only by printed texts of i early manuscript transiations, and also 1 CD as many as sixty-five modern dia- ! lects in which versions have been pulp
 lished merely for pathological purposes. i When we deduct these there remain ; $50 languages and dialects in which at least one. complete book of Scrip
 ture has been printed for religious use. This total includes the complete Bible in about 140 different forms o1 speech The Bible Society's own list of versions embraces at the present time over 800 languages.

WASHINGTON IS WATCHING
 DEVELOPMENTS IN DUSSIA
Conviction is Growing That Important
 Changes Are Impending.

Washington, July Not only in the far north of Russia, but in Siberia and in the Ukraine the events of the past few days are of absorbing interest to the officials in Washington, including the diplomatic body and the conviction is growing that they forebode great and important changes in the political as well as the military status of the whole of Russia.
 Though without late direct adviceS, officials generally accepted the press reports as conveying in rough outline some idea of the rapid development among the Russian people of a strong desire to reorganize their country on sound constitutional basis and to overthrow the German influence.
 The movement in the Ukraine under General Alexieff has taken the shape of virtual revolt against the dictator ship created by the Germans The volunteer army is understood to be in- tended primarily to resis further inva- 1 sion and exploitation by the Teutons
 but also is likely to be used to over l throw the government for the new state. As such a movement to be suc- l dessful probably would require as
 sistance from outside the outcome may i be a renewal of the old political bond: l between the Ukraine and old Russia 1 The manifesto through which Grand Duke Michael has addressed himsel
 to the Russian people leaves in somt l doubt his ultimate designs. The fac that he bases his opposition to thu Bolshevik on their disregard of tn,
 constitutional rights of the constftuen assembly, however, encourages tn officials in the hope that this is no such a reactionary movement as woult involve the restoration of an absolut monarchy, but rather aims at tn
 erection either of a republic or a linn
 tied monarchy with a governing cab
 inet responsible to the parliament.
 The situation in Siberia is nor
 puzzling It is assumed that the Bol
 shevik control in Vladivostok has bee
 still further reduced by the arrival i
 the port and vicinity of thousands C

RESUMPTION OF GERMAN OFFENSIVE IS EXPECTED,
Germans Are Active Before American
 Lines Around Chateau Thierry.

Washington, July 1-Resumption of the German offensive on the west front is now expected momentarily by army officials here. General Pershing's re- ports as well as French and British advices from the front have shown in- creasing enemy activity day by day, indicating that the Germans are pre- pairing for another assault.
 There is great stir and movement among the Germans before American lines around Chateau Thierry. Part of the drive may be directed against this front in a renewal of the thrust at Paris through the Compeigne gateway If so, an army corps of American troops stands shoulder to shoulder with the French again to block the road.

MAcHlNIsTs REQUEST COURT
 MARTIAL OF CAPT. HEPBURN
For Posting Notice That Strikers of Draft Age Would Be Inducted Into Military Service.

Bridgeport, Conn.,, July 1.-Request for an immediate trial by courtmartiaI of Captain c. F. Hepburn, United States army, representing the produc- tion division of the ordnance depart ment at the Liberty Ordnance com pany, to determine whether the officer had overstepped his bounds of au- thority when on June 26 he posted a notice at the factory to the effect that all men in the draft who lefe their work in the strike at that time would be inducted immediately into military service, was sent yesterday by the To- cal branch of the International Asso- citation of Machinists to Secretary oi War Newton D. Baker.
 The machinis.s take the attitude that Captain Hepburn acted in def- ance of the policy of Secretary Baker when he posted the notice. Samuel
 Lavit, business agent of the union,
 states that Secretary Baker has re- l peatedly reiterated a policy that no
 coercion should be made to stop strikes
 of union workmen by applying draft
 rules. He says that Secretary Baker | is against depriving union workmen | of their weapon of striking.

SEVEN HOUR DAY FOR

Congress Votes Down Legislative
 Rider Requiring Eight Hours.

Washington, July 1.-Congress elim- mated legislative rider requiring government clerks to work eight hours a day instead of seven from the legislative, executive a"d judicial ap- propriation bill today 6fs~7 President Wilson had vetoed t-e measure be- cause of the provision
 Salary increases for the clerks of $120 year to meet the increased cost of living were left unchanged.
 The president took the position, that, having asked private employers to make no change in working condi- tlons unfavorable to labor during the war, he could not assent to bill un- der which the government itself would make such a change.
 When an effort to override the veto failed in the house. the bill promptly was repassed without the rider and similar action in the senate followed The senate, however. added an amend ment extending the salary advances to employees paid from lump sum ap' propriations. This later was accept ed by the house and the measure nov goes back to the president.

SIX LARGE COTTON MILLS
 IN LOWELL CRIPPLED
By the Strike of Union Operatives
 Yesterday.

Lowell, Mass, July 1.-Six of the large cotton mills here were crippled by the strike of union operatives to- day, and another mill, engaged in the manufacture of cotton duck, virtually was put out of action. The strike. which was instituted by the Lowell Textile council, is for a wage increase of , per cent. in addition to the 10 per cent. granted by the manufacturers June IT.
 Mill officials estimated the number on strike at between 5000 and 1000. They said that while about 75 per cent. of the operatives went to work as usual, help was lacking for the complete operation of ring spinning weaving, carding and loom fixing de- partments. This shortage necessarily affected other departments and by the close of the day the production bal ance was more or less disturbed. | was admitted by the manufacturer: that such condition if continued would lead to a complete shutdown be fore the end of the week. The mill! will open again tomorrow in an effor i to induce union workers to return The mills are working largely on gov ernment orders.
