Sunday Schools in the Orient

From the Christian Herald.
 In the city of Shanghai. China, a while ago some 10000 Chinese Sunday school scholars came together in a great recre- ational day in one of the principal city parks. The Chinese Mercury, in com menting on the personnel of that gath ering said: If China is ever to be regenerated. as it must be, we can trust it's reconstruction to young people of the type that we saw yesterday in that Sunday school gathering, In Seoul K Korea, 16.0o0 Sunday school members Of that city formed one of the most impress sive demonstrations ever held in the orient. They marched and counter marched in the old palace grounds which had been reddened with the blood of Christian martyrs and the singing and Amens of this great company were won- derful in their volume of enthusiasm. In Japan there have been repeated pa rades of the Sunday school forces, One of these reached 12,0o0 in number, and so impressed the Emperor as 1t marched by the palace grounds in Tokio that he ordered the hoisting of the flag in recog- milton.

BRITISH AV|ATORS LEARN ID BATTLE
 RA|DE RS IN DARK
German Gothas Are No Longer Able 10 Escape At tack on Bombing Ex-
 petitions

London. June -tCorrespondence of the Associated Press.l-The activity of British airmen in connection with re : cent air raids on London indicates that they are learning rapidly the art of fighting the Gotha in the dark. Until a few months ago there was little air fighting at night, even in France and raiding craft enjoyed a marked ad- vantage because their object was sole ly to avoid attack while dropping their bombs
 It is evident that they are able no longer to avoid attack. For one thing, the British pilots have learned to see in the dark as a result of numerous night flights in search of enemy ma chimes. Now they are able to spot Gothas at distances which would have been considered impossible in the early stages of night raids.
 They have learned also how to take racythe best positions for combating the enemy. and how to keep those posi- tions. The Gotha. being an extremely heavy machine, is adept at slipping away. By sudden plunge in front of the attacking scout it can create a "backwash' and leave the attacker struggling to right his machine
 The British pilots now know how to cope with that trick and to keep with ing 90 to 40 yards of the raider all the time.
 There are many perilous positions round the Gotha, whose two gunners can fire in almost any direction. Only highly skillful handling of the at lacking machine enables the pilot to maintain q place in which he can con tinue the fight until he hits the raider in vital spot

are no bills to repeal, the legislators having little desire to undo the things that they themselves did last year They will leave that to their successors to be elected in November.
 In the mean time, they'll be content to rock along. stalling for time, pass ing the buck, and otherwise engaging in the many pastimes that come under the head of Legislative indoor sports until about IS of the 90 days allotted have been consumed.
 By that time, they'll probably man. age to get the appropriation bill out of committee and put on it's passage. You see, over here they've got to make a new appropriation bill every year. They don't always do this, but at the last session. when o'clock of the morning after the night on which the legislature was to adjourn had ar rived, and no decision on the appro- priation bill had been reached. a clause was inserted making the appropria- tion good for one year only, and it passed that way. And now, it's all to do over again. The legislature takes two months to pass q bill to tide the state over during the coming 10 months, and the next year, it's revoked and there's got to be a new appropria- tion, and an entire encouragement of things.

New Faces Made in France

 In Holworthy Halls new serial "The Man Nobody Knew" the main character had his face made over after fighting in France. For fear some might say this is impossible, the American Maga- zine prints this extract from the testi- mony of physicians:

Then we graft the hard knuckle of this finger into the place where the nose was. When this part of the operation is completed. we carve nostrils for breathing, and the work is done.
 We can even provide beard if we think the man will look better that way, or if he particularly wants one.

gia may become less frequent by half A bill has been introduced in the house to change from annual to biennial sessions and judging by the present lack of interest in politics generality it's very probable that the bill will pass. The fact is. these legislators are needed at home. Sons who formerly managed their farms and business while they sojourned in Atlanta, have gone to war, and are in most cases all ready "over there" And the members of both houses are coming to realize that there's something in the world more important than law making" and in this particular instance that something" is the management of the business back home, which cannot go intended for two months straight run ming.

ALL INTEREST IN WAR

There's no getting around it, every thing has got to assume secondary con- sderation in the face of the great war in which America is playing such an important part. Nearly every man in the Georgia legislature is wearing service flag with one or more stars. Also three new members of the house are to be elected to succeed three memb CTS who have resigned to enter various branches of the service. One represen- tative who has enlisted in the marines, has been allowed to remain in Atlanta during the legislature, and comes to his desk each morning in the attractive costume of the devil dogs"

ALABAMA's ADVANTAGE

ALABAMA'S ADVANTAGE
 That's where Alabama has it all over Georgia. That's one way. There are others. Over in Alabama, the quadren- nial legislative session is something of an event. Editors pick out their fla vorites, and political reporters who've spent the entire four years fostering local fayorites," pull out the old suit case, wipe off four years accumula tion of dust throw collar or two and other incidentals into it, and hit the rattlers for the state capitol where big politics" is taking place.
 Here in Georgia. where it meets once every year, and you've hardly re- covered from the surplus of barbecue and watermelon of the previous year, and before you've become accustomed to any of the dog muzzling," and other important bills enacted at the previous session, it's here again
 The papers allow for about column of space for the days proceedings of both houses, and put woman reporter 10 covering it. That's about how big a ripple the meeting of Georgia's legis- lators causes these war times.
 NO POLITICAL ENTHUSIASM
 Now it may be the war or it may be the too frequent meeting, or it may be the arid atmosphere. But certain it is that there's some. force at work in Georgia this year that's sapping the enthusiasm from all political cam paigns and gatherings. With the pri- mary in September and the general election in November, there's not enough interest in the political situa- tion to cover the principal of Thrift Stamp.

He cut his speech short, because he'd always heard that it sounded silly for a person to talk to himself

 Of the three Bills-Bill Hardwick, Bill Schley Howard and Bill Harris-it's generally considered that Bill Schley Howard has about the best chance of coming victorious from the somnambu- listic race. Legislators don't discuss the situation They prefer to talk about the war, the great Italian victory, and the glorious accounts of the doings of our boys at the front being sent back by

Even Legislature Now Has No Real Excuse for Be-
 ing in Session
DRY AMENDMENT IS
 SETTLED FIRST DAY
Three Bills" Running for the Senate Have, So Far, Been Unable to Create Even a Ripple of
 Excitement
By WINNIE FREEMAN

Atlanta, June 29.-tSpeciaL )-There may be some excuse for an annual meeting of the legislature in some states. Alabama and Georgia do not come in that list. The only reasonable excuse for such frequent rallying of any states political lights was wiped out in Georgia several years ago. and was duly embalmed and laid to rest on the first day of the 1918 session, when both houses adopted resolution ratifying the federal prohibition amendment.
 But old John Barleycorn. who has been in state of decided coma, so far as Georgia is concerned, since certain extraordinary session of the legislature in 1917, did not die without a struggle. In the Georgia senate he was anesthe- tized in exactly four and a half min utes, with only two members mourning his death. In the house of representa- tiyes, however, he died hard. And it was not until he had gone down three .-times, and the legislative pulmotor, op- erated by 19 stanch adherents of the anti-prohi belief had proved it's use lessness, that he was officially pro- nounced dead"
 And with that out of its system, the Georgia legislature has little to look forward to except barbecues, visits to state institutions, water melon cut tings and the local entertainment to be found always under Atlanta's sky line.
