PASS SUMMER IN TEMPLES
Picking Custom Of Which the Only
Merit 10 Assurance Of Absolute
Peace and Quiet.

Temple parties constitute q pOpu-
lar form of diversion for the summer
months In Picking. The hills to the
westward are dotted with so-called
understanding compounds of one
story buildings built centuries ago by
ernperors in memory Of departed an
cestOrs. The buildings invariably sur.
round paved court or often series
Of such courts, shaded as a rule by
century-old trees. In the temple proper
- still to be found gigantic "Buddha"
or idol before whom joss-stlcks are
lighted at intervals by priests and
acolytes, of whom there are generally
q half dozen all told, occupying a por-
ton of the compound.
1t Is quite easy and inexpensive to
secure the use of one of these temples
--one or more Of the unoccupIed SUBJ
sidiary buildings-for a weekend, q
week or the whole summer. They are
entirely without furniture except inso-
far as raised platform whereon the
Chinese used to sleep might be called
furniture. Once installed the occupant
enjoys absolute peace and quiet by day.
As rule he sleeps In the company of
one Of the lesser "Buddhas," who is
hidden behind curtain. The only
Intrusion upon his privacy occurs when
the priest or acolyte brings food and
places it before the idol and returns
later to remove what the rats have
left Of 1t.
A number Of the oldtimers in Picking
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. II is thing, however,
that everybody must do once.

VANGUARD OF FORCES WATCH

HoAtEWARD MARCH.
pemoIIsh 5hrrIers Which Guarded the
Old German Front East Of Yer
dun--Hun Soldiers Revolt
Against Brutal Officers.

Paris.-The German frontier was
crossed at several places Sunday by
American signal corps units and ambu-
lance workers.
Short trips were made into Rhen-
tsh Prussia, where the inhabitants
are reported to have shown the Amer
leans every consideration.
American forces have completed de
molishing barriers which guarded the
old German front east of Verdun, con-
sisting of reinforced concrete pillars
stretching along the old front for two
miles.
At Mars La-Tour, just at the edge
Of the village, the Americans encoun-
tered tank barriers, some Of which
were only half completed. A few
blasts of dynamite soon put them out
of commission.
AT Etain the Germans had barriers
of logs chained together on four
wheels, the logs being movable like
a gate. On these barriers the Ger
mans had Installed ingenious devices
to remove the wheels from beneath
the logs which would then drop across
the road at the main road entrance
into Etain. This log barrier was
just at the western entrance, the logs
acting as d check in the event that
the mines fhiled to destroy the bridge.
The American forces resting Sunday
along the German frontier spent their
spare time at various points watching
the Germans opposite them. In nu-
merous instances the Germans waved
farewell when their detaehments start
ed on their homeward march.
Reports Of riOting continue to reach
American headquarters from various
sources. One report was to the eff
feet that German colonel had been
dragged from his horse by soldiers
and beaten severely.
Before crossing from Luxembourg
many Of the priyates told the Luxem-
burgers that when they reached Ger
many they would decline to obey their
officers, id as they pleased, and If
taken to task By their officers, trouble
would result.

M'ADOO RETIRES
TO PRIVATE LIFE
sEcRETARY OF TREASURY AND
DIRECTOR OF RAILROADS
HAS RESIGNED.
Inadequate Salary ls Reason That Is
Given by Cabinet Member for
RelInqulshIng Post as Soon
as Successor is Selected.

MISUNDERSTANDING Gibbs Nc
Adoo, secretary of the treasury, direc-
tor general of railroads and often dis
cussed as one of the presidential pos
slbilities Of 1920, has resigned his Of
fices to return to private business.
President Wilson has accepted his
resignation. Mr.. McAdoo will give up
the treasury portfolio as soon as his
successor has been selected. He wished
to lay down his work as director gem
eral Of railroads by January 1, but will
remain If the president has not then
chosen successor.
Upon the new secretary of the treas
ury, whoever he may be, will devOlve
the task of financing the nation
through the transition period of war to
peace, which probably will include at
least two more Liberty loans and posi-
bly, also further revision of the sys-
TEN of war taxation.
Letters between President Wilson
and Mr.. McAdoo, made public Novem-
Der %, with the announcement of the
resignation, give Mr.. McAdoo's reasons
for leaving the cabinet solely as a ne
cessity for replenishing his personal
fortune, and express the presidents
deep regret at losing his son-in-law
from his official family.
Mr.. McAdoo receives $4,000 year
as secretary of the treasury, the uni
form salary of cabinet members, and
nothing as director general of rail-

to have been heavy in the last few
years, although since the war he has
taken almost no part in the little cap
ital society that remained. Repeatedly
the secretary has referred to small sal
aries of government officials, though
he did not refer to his own case.
Mr.. McAdoo made the announcement
OF his retirement at one of his weekly
conferences with a score of newspaper
men in his private office at the treas
ury.
The rise Of Mr.. McAdoo to place Of
influence in the administration, which
many have declared was second only
to the president, was very fast. As a
southern lawyer who had been inter-
SSoSu III udhopVEtdLlon sentences IN
southern cities, he went to New York
and accomplished the then almost un-
believable feat of successfully tunnel
ing the Hudson river for electric
trains. One of the first men to sug-
gest the scheme-if not actually the
first-was adjudged lunatic, and he
lived to see the project an accomplish
ment
It Is entirely probable that the pres
ident may fill separately the offices OF
the secretary of the treasury and d.
rector general of railroads.

Soldiers, sailors and marines then

CRITICISM MUST BE KINDLY
Nothing Good Can Come Of Method
Which Does Not "spsaIS the
Truth In Love-"

There is the story Of contentious
man who said to his pastor, II cam
not preach or pray or sing, but /
can raise objections" Such men are
not rare. There Is one. at least, in
almost every church, club, lodge or
society of whatever kind. The critic
is ever with us. And, candldly, we
need him. We cannot do our best
work without him. He is like the
brake in the mechanism of a motor
car. he holds us back when we
would go too fast. If at times he
delays our progress, he is necessary
to our safety. His conservatism
counteracts the possible evils Of rad
ieallsm. Much might be said for the
economy Of criticism.
But the method Of criticism is also
important. The brake should work
smoothly. The critic need not de-
stroy the organism he proposes to
reform. Often the effect of his crltl-
cism Is wholly destructive. Sometimes
his methods remind us of the man who
set fire to barn to rid It of rats. A
sensitive spirit who had been harshIy
treated by critic retorted, ~ know
there is a cinder in my eye, bat you
can't remove 1t with crowbar."
The apostolic injunction, speaking
the truth in love-" gives the critic a
safe rule of action. No truth, however
severe. is unwelcome, if it be spoken
in love. 1t takes the spirit of Christ
to take the sinner by the hand the
while we take sin by the throat
