Mexico Hopeless" and Korean Work
Hndered, Presbyterians at st.
Louis Are Told.

ST. Louis, Mo-, May 23.-Mexico is
hopeless religiously and appalling so
ciallys and Japan is scurtailing the
progress of Koreans because of her
apathy toward foreign missionaries,
according to the report of the COM
mittee on foreign missions submitted
to the one hundred and thirty-frst
general assembly of the Presbyterian
church, u. S. A. Missionaries have
great influence with the Koreans, but
the Japanese are unwilling to have
foreigners exert it over their sub
iects, the report recited. The ques-
ton of sex equality in church affairs
was brought before the assembly in
the report of the committee on policy.
The committee was split on the ques-
ton, the majority report favoring the
plan of permitting women to become
ministers and seIders and the minority
report opposing 1t.

Charter offered TO any member OF the

further, to grind at the owners mill

TWENTY KILLED IN
GREAT FIRE BLAST.
Explosion at Cedar Rapids, Ia,
Shakes Whole City.
BLAZE FOLLOWS THE WRECK
Entire Plant of Douglas Starch Works
Is Burned, Entailing a Loss Esti-
mated at $4,000, ooo-Many
Workers Are Injured.

Cedar Rapids, Ia, May pa score
of persons were killed and hundred
injured by the explosion at the Doug
las Starch works.
OF the 100 men and boys who had
just gone to work on the night shift
few escaped injury or death.
The loss in the fire that followed is
100000.
The cause of the explosion is I'M
known, but it is thought to be either
a boiler explosion or spontaneous COM
bustion.
Twenty Bodies Found.
The loss of life cannot be deter
mined as yet, but 20 bodies were re-
moved within half an hour.
Scores of persons on the streets and
about the works were injured by fly
ing wreckage and broken glass.
Windows in the business district
were blown in and people in office
buildings cut by flying glass.
At eight o'clock at night cries were
still heard from the drying room of
the starch plant. The fire was so in
tense that it was impossible for the
firemen to cut their way in.
Several overseas soldiers volun-
teered to get into the building and do
what they could, but were driven back
by the flames.
Manager Is Mystified.
General Manager Lenders, who was
at the plant five minutes after the
explosion, could advance no theory as
to it's cause. Others said it was
dust explosion. An engineer who was
blown out of the building said he be-
lieved his boiler had exploded.
Every window in the central part
Of the city was blown out. Chimneys
caved in on families at the supper ia
Bile and several persons were serious
ly hurt.
Guests in the dining rooms Of hotels
were thrown from their seats. A Chi
cago travelling man seated in the Mag
nus hotel was blown from his seat and
his nose almost cut off.
At nine o'clock it was said that the
vacuum was not turned on the starch
dryers, which caused the dust to accu-
multe. Another theory was that some
person was smoking in the building.
The front of the city hall and the
Y. NJ G. A. building were shattered.
Ticket sellers in picture theaters were
injured by falling glass.
All water mains were cut by the
force Of the explosion and it was i'm
possible to fight the flames.

Indeed, although l knew the topic was
often in our thoughts it was never

that, to my knowledge.
We sat for long time thinking as
the night came on.
That week letter came to me from
the senator, announcing the day of
Mrs. Wright's arrival in Canton and
asking me to meet and assist her In
getting the house to rights. I did so.
She was pleasant-faced, amiable
woman and a most enterprising house
cleaner. / remember that my first
task was mending the wheelbarrow..
81 don't know what Silas would do
If he were to get home and find his
wheelbarrow broken" said she. "It IS
almost an inseparable companion of
his"
The schoolmaster and his family
were fishing and camping upon the
river, and so I lived at the senator's
house with Mrs. Wright and her moth
er until he arrived. What wonderful
house it was, in my viewl was awed
by it's size and splendor, its soft car
pets and shiny brass and mahogany.
Yet it was very simple.
I hoed the garden and cleaned its
paths and moved the dooryard and did
some painting in the house.
The senator returned to Canton that
evening on the WATERFOWL stage. He
greeted me with a fatherly warmth.
Again felt that strong appeal to my
eye in his broadcloth and fine linen
and beaver hat and in the splendid
dignity and courtesy of his manners.
"I've had good reports of you, Bart,
and I'm very glad to see you." he said.

II shall go up to see them soon," he
said.
The people of the little village had
learned that he preferred to be let
alone when he had just returned over
the long, wearisome way from the
scene of his labors. So we had the
! evening to ourselves.
Mrs. Wright, being weary after the
days work, went TO bed early and, at
his request. sat with the senator by

WORLD REVOLT PLOT

Discovery Of Plans for RevoIu-

on Peace Treaty

Paris, Oct. 29.---(By A. P.)-The
arrest by the Swiss police Of represen..
tatives of the international Youth
organization. having in their possession
unlimited propaganda fixing November
{ as the date for an international revo.
luton in Spain. Italy, France and
Switzerland. has caused a deep i'm
preston in political circles in France.
The opponents of the peace treaty are
making use of the discovery in the po
'itical camoaign. and are attacking the
treaty on the ground that the guaran-
tees are insufficient. The plot was or E
ganized at Stuttgart by the Com
munist Bolshevist Youth organization
and the date. November Z, was chosen.
because it was the anniversary of the
overthrow Of kercnsky by Lenine. The
propaganda is addressed to the commit
tee of the central Seine Socialists youths
and also to the French central commit
tee Of the all Socialists youth of France.
The possibi ity of a general strike on
November Z is being discussed at
numerous meetings held outside the pale
of the general federation of labor. The
Extremist party is taking advantage OF
the absence in America of Leon
Jouhaux. president of the federation, to
organize a strike over the heads of hi'
lieutenants. who do not WELD as much
authority nor command as much pres
tigc as NJ. Jouhaux.

PARIS SUFFERING
FROM COAL LACK
Restrictions on Gas and Electric
Service as Well as Travel
Probable
FACING GRAVE SITUATION

Paris, Oct. 0.-Governmental and
municipal authorities and coal mer-
chants admit the impossibility of find
ing remedy for the situation which
has arisen here because Of the coal
shortage Although cold weather has
rot yet really begun, Paris is already
feeling the pinch and there is some
suffering in the poorer quarters of the
city.
At secret session under the presi-
dency of NJ. Evain, the municipal coun.
Gil discussed the situation and reached
the conclusion that within u few weeks
coal will not be available, not only
for private houses, but also for public
utility services. Restrictions on gas
and electric service as well as travel
over the metropolitan railway will
probably be ordered.
Coal stocks in Paris amount to ap-
proximately 10000 tons, with only
1000 tons arriving daily The city
needs 10000 tous per day iu cold
weather. Wood and petroleum are
being used as fuel, but stocks of these
combustiblcs are also becoming depleted
and their use will only postpone the
critical situation Il short time.

TURKEYS FINANCES GOOD
Gold Said to BE PIentIful--$4,oo ,ooo,.
900 Loan Needed for Expatrlates

Constantinople, Oct. 2S.-(By A.
P.)--Turkey' finances are in better
shape, perhaps, than those of any
country in Europe, according to re-
ports. She has one gold piece of every
four in paper. it is said on good author
ity, and an effort is being made to
borrow 100000 partly for the pur-
pose of repatriating 100000 prisoners
now in Egypt, India, Russia and
Central Asia. These prisoners are
making desperate efforts to reach their
homes.
Groups of Turkish prisoners were
recently seen by the correspondent
along roads north of Bagdad. These
men had walked 1000 miles over the
desert and in some cases had been re-
leased from hospitals with but few
garments. They begged quinine and
food from the Harbord mission which
recently returned from Armenia and
sometimes those who we're sick were
carried to the nearest village by auto
mobile.
