MISSIONARIES SEE
Dawn Of new ERA
Turkish Officials Generally Help
full, Secretary Barton Says

Hartford, Doe. 11.--The keynote of
the 109th annual meeting of the
American Board of Commissioners
for Foreign Missions in session here
and to continue until Friday noon, is
the new era. The dawning of a
new day for missions is being brought
out in all addresses.
Secretary Barton Speaks.
The principal address at the resump-
ton Of the sessions in Center church
today was by Secretary James L. Bar
ton, who spoke on Foreign Missions
and Present International Crises"
with the annual survey of the foreign
mission field.
Secretary Barton in his survey said
there had been little change in Turkey
during the past year.
Turks Were Friendly.
Ambassador El1us, directed, when
diplomatic relations We're severed that
all Americans in Turkey should go to
Constantinople, ready to leave Tur-

needed to come home complied with
the order, bnt some fifty Of the mis-

should in justice be said that the
Turkish officials have been generally

India and Africa.
Conc 9rning India, Secretary Barton
said that back Of the unrest in that
country there were evidences that the
work of the gospel twas shaking In
dia from center to circumference"
OF Africa he said:
Strange as it n,ay seem. each one
of our three mission centers in Afrl-
ca appeals as it has never appealed
before for more men and women, in
order to help meet the immediate de-
mands.''
China and the Philippines.
In speaking of China, Secretary
Barton said it was impossible to set
forth the situation there as it related
to missions in terms that would be
fair. He said the leading Chinese had
begun to realize tfat a nation that ex-
poets to stand on equal terms with
the other nations of the world must
have a basis In moral standards which
other nations recc enize.
Of the Philippines, he said the
American board had mission Held
unsurpassed in opportunity. 1t IS a

In conclusion Secretary Barton
said:
Mexico, at our door, is trying to
find herself under new constitution,
with part of the country still in
state of unstable equilibrium. The

WHY 10Th DIDN'T
MOVE TO GERMANY
In No Condition for Participation,
Boston Globe Man Wires

The Boston Globe prints the follow.
! correspondent with the Twenty sixth.
| division in France:
With the Yankee Division Nov. IS.
| We are out Of the line and billeted
in towns lying about midway between
| Verdun and Bar lie Due. Since the
| day the guns stopped firing, q week
| ago, we have had clear, cold weather
| and the ground stays frozen practical
| ly all day.
The division is on it's way to a.
! training area-just at present to an
area lying south of Neufchateau-
where 1T got it's first training, a year
ago-and east of I4angres where the
schools are.
This order, however, may be
changed. 1t was the first one given;
then another issued, sending US to
the area next door. Upon receiving
this the division intelligence officer
Capt Hersey, set forth to spy out the
land, to learn billeting capacity and
to billet the division. He had finished
his work, and was on his way back,
when a third order arrived sending
senger caught him, and he had to go
back and do his work all over again.
None of us has yet arrived at a
realization of what the cessation Of
hostilities actually means. The ending
of world war is so tremendous in
It's effects that only as one detail aft
er another appears, each directly ap-
plying to us, does our view broaden.
The mere matter Of moving out OF
line brings up this reflection. Six
divisions have been named as the
army Of occupation. Seven were on
the list, and Gen. Frank T.. Bamford,
commanding the Yankee Division,
was asked by the list Army whether
his division was in condition to go
forward.
He answered that, much as he re-
GREETED to say SO, the division could
not go forward. 1t was thereupon
removed from the list and was or
dered to fall back from the line. The
9Th Division relieved Us, and we slid
back to points just below Verdun, the
next day moving to our present
towns.
The area and all the areas about
here were full Of troops. An army
corps headquarters moved out Of this
/ Co"h DIS our UNISON nGdOQudrLSES
moved in-in fact, our trucks got in
before theirs got out.
Below the 10th Division is strand
ed unable to move. The shortage of
horses and trucks is so great-due, Of
course, to the wastage of war-that
every division not en- line duty or go
ing forward has been stripped of the
greater part Of its transp ortation.
Orders have come daily, low for so
little cars, now for two or three big
passenger cars, again for SO camions.
It is already difficult matter to move
ourselves. The artillery brigade, as
soon as 1t reaches G rai1rc ad, will be
reduced to 100 horses; already 1t Is so
short of animals that only two are
allowed to haul gun.
In similar fashion, officers are be-
ing called for in big patches. One
hundred and fifty left in one bunch;
some Of the regiments are almost
without officers. Sergeants are in
command Of companies.
None Of this Is criticism; It Is told
merely TO show what the enormous
difficulty of getting out of a war that
has stopped comes to.

promised that the dolls might go on

Next came the letter to the little
