~" ENTERTAINERS
i NEEDED IN FRANCE

While certain branches of the work
the National War Work Council of
the " nj, C. A. has been doing for some
time are being curtailed, one type OF
service is being called upon for more
cooperation than ever before. AL
though for some time there have been
approximately 400 to 500 entertainers
In France. many difficulties have sur
rounded this type of service and the
thousands OF shows which have been
given in France have only been put
over In spite of almost superhuman
difficulties. Now. however, with the
period OF rehabilitation forcing upon
the Army new problems has real
spirit Of cooperation been shown by
she Army authorities. Therefore. Cen
eral Pershing has detailed Colonel
Kelly, from his own Stan. TO act u
entertainment officer for the A. +. f.,
which position places him as the hai-
son officer between the Army and the
.sY'' Entertainment Bureau In Paris.
Theatres and large buildings are be.
the Army are putting them into opera
ton and the ~" is producing shows,
given by soldier talent alone. and also
dramatic and vaudeville performances
and miscellaneous musical programs,
the PERSONNEL OF all OF which must be
recruited from this ocnDsry.
ewing TO the large number Of men
In the Army with entertainment abil-
ity. no effort Is being made to send
men from this side. Women. however,
ara wanted for these positions in large
numbers. 126 must be sent out from
thie country every month, which viii
require the cooperation OF every re
cr,Iitng agency throughout the coun-
try. All entertainers are supplied with
uniforms. Life, Accident and Health
Insurance, transportation. and allow
315o.00 per month for living expenses

The women should be preferably be-
tween the ages OF e and so, neat and
attractive and possessed OF pro

METHODIST LEADERS
RETURN FROM FRANCE

Three prom Eant leaders Of the
Methodist Episaopal Church, South,
have just landed in America, after
spending two moaths IN Europe, where
they went for iAS purpose OF investi-
eating actual conditions and deciding
upon a program for the expenditure OF
$4,000 900. which sum will be allotted
TO European upbuilding by the Cente.
nary Commission Of the denomination.
The three returning church leaders
are Bishop James Atkins, Chairman OF
the Centenary Commission; Bishop
Walter Lambuth, who has been in Eu-
rope for nearly year in the interest
of his church; and DR.. w, w. Pinson,
General Secretary of the Mission
Board
DR.. Pinson and Bishop Atkins re-
turned to the headquarters of the de-
nomination at Nashville the latter part
Of the week, and Rishop Lanbuth went
directly to his home at oakdale, Cali
tornia.
While the plans for the European
work have not been announced as yet,
the returning members of the commits
sion say that they have mapped out a
very satisfactory program and that
five million dollars of the Centenary
tand will be expended in upbaAding
schools and churches in the devastated
lands Of Belgium, Italy and France.

Bill Introduced In Senate and
House In Their Behalf--The
Church Organization Will
Also Give Practical Aid.
WILL PROMOTE EDUCATION
The Significant Movement of the
Times Is That of the Centenary
of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South Win SpenS Mil
lions Among the Uneducated.

The fact that several thousand sol
diers were unable TO understand the
orders given them from their superiors
and that many, many thousands could
no; slgn their own names TO their
questionnaires brought to light con-
diticn so serious that two Southern
Representatives al Washington are
now introducing bills to promote the
education OF illi,erates throughout the
length and breadth Of America. Sena-
tor Hoke Smith. OF Georgia, has intro.
duced bin in the Senate ito promote
the education of illterates, of persons
unable to understand and use the Eng
liah language. and other resident per.
sons of foreign birth" and the same
measure has been introduced in the
House by Hon. William b. Bankhead,
OF Alabama.
The introduction Of this important
bill means grea; deal to the South,
which. because Of its negroes and
mountain whites, has long borne
reputation for illiteracy out OF proper
ton to that of the rest of the coun-
try. Just what steys will be immedi-
ately taken as the result Of the passage
OF the education Of illiterates bill at
Washington cannot be stated at this
time, but, certainly, practical meas.
ures will be put into operation for the
establishment of schools in both rural
districts and cities.
Other organizations besides that of
the government are at work on the
same problem the establishment OF
schools in the heart OF tenement dis
tricts and rural communities being
matter Of first Importance with all OF
them. One OF the most significant
movements OF the times in this con
nection is that of the Centenary OF
the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, because that denomination will
expend within the next five years over
$S,O0O,000 among the uneducated
classes in the Southern and Western
States. The church is to raise fund
of $35 100000 in an eight-day drive IN
April, the financial campaign being
partH OF the Centenary Celebration OF
the denomination. The money is be-
ing raised with a view to putting the
work Of the church on a business
basis, the church considering its duty
to the illiterates here in America to be
among the matters OF first Importance
which IL should undertake A survey
has been made ard the result OF the
campaign win be the apportionment OF
SO 00e. 900 among the various illiterate
population as follows: Mountain pop
ulation. $750.OOO: immigrant, 100000;
negroes, $60OO00 Indians $4,000
cotton mill population, $4,000; Chris
tian literature for all of them. 100000.
with the definite step undertaken
at Washington, with one denomination
already completing its plans for fur
thering the work among them, and
with other ehrrches and organizations
getting ready to join hands in their
behalf. it is more than possible that
the iliterates OF the South are in
fair way to soon become educated citi-
.sens OF the United States.
