EPISCOPAL DRIVE
BEGINS over this
DIOCESE SUNDAY
Large Sum to BE Raised BY Members
Of Episcopal Church In Licking
ton Diocese Drive Starts
Sunday.


This il the last appeal In the press
in the Nation Wide Campaign, for
money to push the work of the Epis-
copal Church, In the Lexington do
cese, Of which this parish is a part.
The appointments are calculated
mechanically and with the exception
of the Colored Mission, are proportion
ed to the amount of the annual expen-
ditures upon itself Of each Parish or
Mission, taken In connection with its
baptized membership. There is, there
fore, entire impartiality and nothing
arbitrary in the fixing Of the parochial
quotas. II has been announced from
the National Headquarters of the Ma
tion-Wide Campaign that what is re-
ceived from the General Church will
be proportioned to what is contributed
from here, to objects outside this Do
cese.
The quotas present the share of
each Parish and Mission in the appor-
tionment for each of the three years
laid upon this Diocese by the National
Organization OF the Nationwide Cam
paign, for objects outside the Diocese
such as Missions, Religious Education
and Social Service. II the organiza-
ton is able to grant all the Diocesan
askings, this Diocese shall receive
back as a Diocese from the General
Church, several times as much as 1t is
asked as Diocese to give to objects
outside the Diocese.
Margaret College is the Diocesan
Institution at Versailles, Kentucky, for
Education of Episcopalian girls and
has been so successful as to require
aid to enable It to take advantage
of its great opportunities. This Do
cese has asked for $4,000 from the
General Church foi the development
of Margaret College with the under
standing that the Diocese would raise
$4,000 for Margaret College each year
for three years. Thus at the end of
the three years period, Margaret Col
lege will altogether have received $45,-
900 which will also so enlarge and
equip 1t, aswill enable it to accom-
modate its waiting List" of pupils
and make room for many others In ad-
dltion.
There has been for many years a
great disproportion between clerical
salaries and the much higher wages
Of many day laborers. Especially
within the last few years. in view OF
the high cost Of living, there has been
great inadequacy between these sal.
aries and the manner In which the
Pensioners expect their Clergymen tc
live. Therefore, there is determine
ton, especially on the part Of the
laymen to see that the average cleri-
cal salary is considerably increased
This Diocese asks from tne Genera
Church. Sc ,Ss225.S7 for each of the three
years for the increase of salaries with.
in this Diocese that are below a Ger.
tain figure. In return. It must raise

FoRERUNNER OF THE BICYCLE
v~eIoeIpede Was Considered Q Swift
Moving Vehicle When First Intro
duced Into This Country.

The velocipede made Its appearances
In Washington so years ago. much hav-
Ing been heard of this new device.
which had developed q veritable fever
In France. In an article in the Wash
ington Star of November 20, 1858. 1t
was noted that the use of this vehicle
had been brought to such perfection
that It is claimed 20 miles al hour
has been made with It." The Star
said:
Lately the v~elocipede has been In
troduced In this country, and our
young Americans, who at a lime
had the boxing mania, followed by the
baseball mania, are now going strong
on the veloclpede, and 1t will doubt
less have its run all over the country.
Graham, the carriage dealer on d
street between 9Th and 9th, has just
imported a frst-class velocipede, and
it Is an object Of great attraction at
his establishment. 1t is a smart, styl-
ish-looking affair, but very simple In
its working. 1t can be u most rapid
" with two wheels, but it is convert
ible to a three-wheeler. The working
Of it brings in play most of the mus
cles Of the body, and 1t is said to be
very healthful. From the facility with
which it Is steered or turned, 1t can
be used on any sidewalk or gravel
walk. The gravel walks of the Smith
sonian would be just the thing for We
locipeders. The style of velocipede to
be seer at Graham's is the latest
French style, introduced in this u
try by the HanlOn brothers. gym

The minister complained that,
although Bulgaria had helped to
transport the Entente armies
through her territory and supplied
them with food ven after they
had passed into Serbia and Ru-
mania, the services of Bulgaria
were forgotten after the collapse
of Turkey, Austria-Hungary and
Germany. According to the ar
mistice, he asserted, Bulgaria was
to administer Dobrudja, but two
months later Bulgaria was asked
to evacuate that province and "it
had to be done in the most pitt
able circumstances"
The war minister concluded by
saying that the entrance of the
United States into the war had
this special meaning for. the Bull
garian people-that it decided to
conquer itself. Firmly convinced
of the sublime aim of the United
States which seeks to impose upon
the nations a new method OF
solving conflicts" he declared,
"the Bulgarian people and army
whole : heartedly accepted and
made their own the principles
proclaimed by America because all
Bulgarians believe that the just
cause Of their race shall triumph
and the small people shall see it
self united at last"

disenchanted Germany, in her plan
of supremacy from Berlin to Bag
dad with Bulgaria as a necessary
connecting link. Thereupon Ger
many assumed a very distrustful
and cool attitude toward her little
ally.
1.-The result was that in the
bucharest Peace Treaty of 1918
Bulgaria was very ill treated.
Instead of getting new acquisi-
lions she was to surrender her old
ones by giving up to Turkey the
southern valley of the lower
Martha. The army perceived
clearly the falsity of Germany and
the people saw the danger which
threatened their political and
economical freedom. The formal
breach was only a question OF
time"
NJ. Liaptcheff asserted that Bull.
garia could have cancelled the
partial success of the Entente
offensive" in the Balkans which
terminated Bulgaria's participa-
tion in the war If Bulgaria had
been aiming at military success
instead of political results. He
said that Bulgaria at that time
was chiefly concerned not in
stopping the Entente advance. but
in severing herself from the mill.

his ground and the 100 acres ad-
joining, which averaged Sc cents
per yard. This was exclusive OF
bedrock, where the large nuggets
repose. The gravel at this point
is the shallowest of any place in
the canyon, being from six to 10
feet deep. At the very head of
the canyon there appears to be a
circular hole and here it is 6 feet
to the bottom.
Blake declares that .Tule canyon
contains the largest deposit OF
a~uriferous gravel known on this
continent. Twelve miles long, sew
eral hundred feet wide, it is, in
places more than 100 feet deep.
About a mile below the head OF
the canyon, which starts in an
easterly direction, it takes an
abrupt turn to the south, and at
the turn a reef cuts across. Blake
believes that here is piled a treas
ure that would make a Klondiker
green with envy. He long ago
came to the conclusion, though,
that it is not a poor mans game.
There is water sufficient to oper-
ate any number of hydraulicks
flowing along the bottom of the
canyon, with sufficient fall to
give the required force. BY tun-
neling in from the side the water
could be brought into use and the
whole canyon hydraulicked.
1t is a gigantic task to wash
the gold from these millions OF
tons of gravel, and no matter
how stupendous the scale of oper-
atoms, it will take more than the
span of the ordinary human life to
accomplish it. There are no laws

inside HISTORY Of BULGARIA'S DOWNFALL IS TOLD

SOFIA, Bulgary, April 24-The
Treaty of Bucharest between Ru-
mania and the Central Powers
which terminated Rumania's par
ticipation in the war was the
grave of the alliance between
Bulgaria, Germany and Austria.
declares Andrew L~iaptcheff, Bull
garian Minister of War. Under
the terms of this treaty Bulgaria
vas compelled to surrender to
Turkey part of the valley of the
Martha River in Thrace. This
and other events disillusionized
the Bulgarians, according to M.
Liaptchef.
Reviewing to the Associated
Press correspondent the circum-
stances which convinced Bulgaria
that Germany was playing false,
the minister said:
Former King Ferdinand was
convinced of the military suprem-
acy of Germany but his govern
ment refused to give troops for
other fronts than those of the
Balkans and, in spite of high
pressure from the Germans, he re-
fused to sever relations with the
