N1GGARDLY CHURCH WILL DIA:

II may be said, without any flourish
of prophetic trumpets, that unless the
members Of Christian churches in
America pay their ministers higher
salaries, there will be no ministers to
pay salaries to.
Not that the ministers will strike
as do the laborers in every other
calling. The American clergy has no
intention Of striking, although Eng
lish brethren of the cloth threatened
some such summary method Of fore
ing recognition of their plight. The
prediction means something more Sc
rious, if less immediate and upsetting
Church members may as we'll face the
fact that unless better salaries and
higher standards of living are Of
fered clergymen, the young men of
this and the succeeding generation will
not enter the ministry. At least only
the stupid and futile sort of person,
the kind who couldn't make a living
in any other profession or calling, will
sacrifice himself upon the church al
tar.
1t has often been said that in Eng
land, when a son seems to lack eXecu-
tive ability and is regarded by his
family as being rather below normal
in ability, he is set aside for the
pulpit
Able and wide-awake youns men
will not take six or eight years, Of
their lives to study for profession
where the rewards, as recently stated
by New York clergyman, ere, Oh
the average, less than the amount
necessary to buy and operate a hivver
for a year. The call to Gods service
cannot sound very. loud in the ears
of able men when it has mo more
power behind it than $500 a year
generates. Ministers do not work for
money alone, but they need enough to
enable them to live in decent comfort,
and to educate their offspring to a
degree commensurate with their
in the community and their
rights as children of public servants
and public benefactors.

Manchester, Eng, Dec 1.-There
has been an increase in zeal among
the college students of this country
since the war. according to Viscount
Bryce. Speaking at the university Of
Manchester he said that in all the
universities, notably in Oxford and
Cambridge, the numbers of s. 1dents
had grown until it had become diff
cult to find accommodation for them.
at Oxford, he continued, they had
told him that men had come back
from the war hungry and thirstins
for learning. They were training
themselves with an energy which was
seldom seen, even under the pressure
Of the competition that existed before
1914. Moreover, the intellectual vi
tally Of the students was high, prov
ing that so long as the British peo-
pie maintained their patriotism,
strength, force and intellectual life the
country would pull through.
Referring to the duties and func-
tons which universities would dis
charge in the future, Viscount Bryce
said that he did not think that in the
whole range Of human thought there
was any subject at this moment which
was more important in the interests
Of the country and Of the world than
the study of economic problems.
It was not merely for practical
purposes, or the merely utilita:ian
part Of life that we should study Ian
guages and history, he said. Half the
business Of life was concerned with
knowing how to use men and women,
how to understand them, how to get
on with them, how to turn their facul-
ties to the best account.
"It is good for u.s." said Lord
Bryce, that we should get to know
not only men but nations. These are
times in which no nation can any
longer live life of isolation. We
have stood apart from the European
Continent, secure in our immunity
from invasion. and our people have
given too little thought to what was
passing in other nations and studied
TOO little the relations which we have
maintained with them. But the war
has shown US that our fortunes are
bound up with the fortunes Of the rest
Of the world; it has shown US that
not even a continent cut off from US
by q great ocean, that no great peo
pie, can any longer stand outside the
circle

CALLS FOR INQUIRY Y

Washington, Dec. 16.-Discussion

practically three legislative days, was
completed today by Representative

the proposal that all settlements for
uneXpired contracts With the war de-

beard for review and final DISPOSE
ton.

replying to the chairmans speech.
characterized the committees investi-
CATION as "raking of the war depart
n1ent with a fine tooth comb hoping
that some fraud might be uncovered. "
Efforts of the committee TO find cases
Of fraud, he told the house, were fu-
tile. Presentation Of report such
as the one compiled by the majority,
he said, was "a reflection on the in
telligencc Of majority members as
lawyers
No affirmative action was taken by
the house in the suggestion of Chair
man Graham. A previous report sub
nitted last month contained reso-
luton directing Secretary Baker to
review ali claims settled for unexpir-
ed contracts. This was later aban-
done:l and the report as made pro-
of

s5o PER CENT PROFIT.

In the midst of other important
matters recently it became necessary
to investigate the high cost of the
chicken sandwich so dear to the pal
ates of congressman, clerks and other
government employees who patronize
the House Office Restaurant in Wash
ington. D c.
Representative King, of Illinois,
feeling that prohteering was being
carried a little too far in the matter
OF chicken sandwiches, purchased a
sample al the usual price of 35 cents.
He did not eat it, but hastened to a
drug store and had it analyzed, its
varSyuss component parts duly weigh
ed and their value appraised at cur
rent market prices. The tabulated
statistics are as follows:
Cast: chicken-5 drams 80 grains

ding 100 per cent for handling makes
a total net cost Of serving of s-1s
cents subtracting that sum from the
selling price of s5 cents, one arrives
at the profit, 1884 cents. OF consider
ably more than ESQ per cent profit.
And now, the point that interests
the long suffering public is-what did
congress do about it?
