simultaneously with the Salvation
Army and following up somewhat the
lines established in the various drives
during the war, the Methodist Episcopal
church is engaged in great project to
raise $l05 100000, of which amount $780,
900 900 is to be used for missions and
1921. DOC. 900 for war reconstruction. 1t
is the aim to use part of the money in
foreign lands and part in the United
States. In Europe it is proposed to lay
out a considerable sum in rebuilding
homes and towns and cities, while in the
United States the purpose back of the
drive is, in the words of the prospectus,
ito furnish community centers in coun-
try districts, and in the midst of indus
trial populations; to furnish scholarships
by which Methodist young men and
women may be trained for leadership;
to provide church buildings and commu-
nifty centers in new towns on reclsma-
ton projects; to take up its responsible
ity in the work Of Americanization; to
continue war emergency work at the
camps and ports of debarkation; to care
for the orphans caused by war and in.
husnza; and to meet other conditions
such as the negro exodus suddenly Great
ed by wartime changes" Surely, these
are laudable aims and purposes, and in
support of them there should be spon-
taneous response from the Methodist
church and perhaps from even wider
circles of people. The Methodist church
has set its aim high as to financial re-
suits but it deserves to reach that aim

Count Brockdorff Rantzau, head OF the
German peace delegation at Versailles,
makes a lame excuse for not rising when
replying to the presentation of the peace
terms. He says, or his apologist says,
that Rantzau's courage was strong
enough but his legs were weak; hence
he did not get to his feet in making his
formal response. In that case he should
have delegated the task of responding to
some other member Of the German dele
CATION whose legs were as good as his
courage, in order that the Germans
might have avoided the appearance OF
insolence to their conquerors. Another
thing, it Is strange that member OF the
German nobility tpresuming, of course
that the prefix of count signifies nobil-
ity) should have been sent as member
of the peace delegation from country
which was supposed to have gone through
the process of governmental reformation
to the extent that titles of nobility, as
we'll as of royalty, were dispensed with
1t does not speak well for the thorough
ness of the German reform that the lead
er of the peace delegation should beal
the title Of count.

LIBERAL INSURANCE TERMS
OFFERED SERVICE men
Delinquents Given Opportunity to Re-
new U. s. Policies.

Uncle Sam is loath to remove from
his insurance books the name of any
soldier; sailor or marine wh6 has al
lowed his government insurance pol
icy to lapse.
Consequently, the War Risk In
surance Bureau at Washington is now
searching out its delinquent policy
holders-who include three out of
every four insured during the war
and is offering renewal of govern
ment protection on the most liberal
terms ever offered by any insurance
organization.
Under the new regulations just is
sued by the bureau, a discharged SER
vice man is given the privilege of
renewing his government policy with
in 18 months, without payment of
back premiums.
The only requirement is that the
man seeking to renew, his insurance
must be in as good health as he was
at the time of his discharge, and must
pay the premium on his policy for the
first month he permitted it to lapse
and the premium for the month in
which he requests reinstatement.
Thus, for example, if man dropped
$4,000 of insurance in January, 1919
and applies for reinstatement Sept. 1
for $4,000, all he will have to pay is
the premiums for January, the month
he had protection even though he dir
not pay the premium, on $4,000 ant
the premium for September on th'
same amount.
Or, if he applies for the full
$4,000, he will pay total of tw'
months premiums on that sum, on
for January and the other for Sep
tember.
Should lapse again occur, afte
the 18 months from date of discharge
reinstatement may be made providing
such insurance shall not have lapse
more than one wear.

USE SPRAY TO KILL
FALL WEBWORMS

That fall webworms, now so con-
spicuous in many parts Of Ohio where
they are feeding on orchard, forest
and ornamental trees, may be de-
stroyed by an arsenical spray, has
been worked out as means of control
at the Ohio Experiment Station.
The spray is made by dissolving two
pounds Of powered arsenate of lead
in SO gallons Of water and completely
spraying this material over the webs
and leaves holding the caterpillars.
No less than 120 different species of
plants are attacked by fall webworms
or other light-colored hairy caterpil-
lars that feed on the leaves within
webs. In most cases the entire
branches and small trees with all their
leaves are sometimes enclosed, which
soon turn brown and have a dead
appearance. When the food supply is
exhausted from one tree, the cater
pillars descend to the ground and scat
ter out over other vegetation.

BAKER Says ARMY
SHOULD Be $4,000
Tells Senate Committee Big Force
Is Needed.

Secretary of War Baker on Monday
informed the senate committee on
military affairs that, league of nations
or no league Of nations, the United
States, for the time being at least,
must have a large army if the safety
of the country is TO be assured.
The statement of the secretary, fol-
lowing the announcement Of his prac-
tical conversion to the principle of
universal military service, has been
taken as eloquently rejecting the con-
Germ of the administration over pres
ent domestic as well as worldwide
conditions.
Urging an appropriation that would
permit the maintenance Of a mini
mum army Of $4,000, Secretary
Baker told the committee;
"The disturbed state of the world
demands that the United States main
tain large army"
"The state of the world is one that
no imagination can express" the sec
retary continued. 81 would not feel
that would be doing my duty unless
I strongly recommended the mainte-
nance Of sufficiently large army.
IT feel certain hesitancy in dis
cussing the size of the army. Our
suggestion is that the number of men
in this bill provides for balanced
army, so that if the emergency comes
our problem will be to multiply
rather than to add to the existing
force. Whether the number selected
is absolutely necessary | am not able
to say now.
Regarding our military policy,
believe that the people are going to
insist on having an Army more use
full than heretofore. A good deal of
the time of the army in the past was
spent in unproductive idleness. The
country will not stand for that sort
Of thing and the soldiers will not
stand for it."
The supporters of universal train
ing are tremendously encouraged by
the changed sentiments Of Secretary
Baker. They believe he reflects the at
titude of President Wilson.
While elated over the turn of events
the leading Republicans advocates of
universal training, such as Senator
(. Wadsworth Of New York and Repre-
sentative Kahn Of California, respec-
lively chairmen of senate and house
military affairs committees, under
stand they have fight on their hands
to get through the legislation they de-
sire.

at Plattsburg

When Columbia University dropped
courses in German during the war
Gerard Alston Richling, a student
member of the teaching staff, gave up
his place. He Joined the Plattsburg
training camp, but was rejected be-
cause he was two pounds under weight.
After that he had little to do. His de-
preston was intensified by receipt of a
photograph of forty-eight college
mates, including Joyce Kilmer, the
poet, who had lost their lives in the
war, and yesterday his body was found
by his aged mother in a gas filled room
at their home, 3S8 Lafayette Avenue,
Brooklyn. He had opened the arteries
in his wrist. tied cravat tightly about
his neck and then wrenched off a
chandelier.
Richling was a graduate Of Colum-
bia with the class Of 1909 After he
lost his place his mother, Mrs Anna
Richling, had supported the family by
teaching music. Her earnings, with a
pension received on account of her
husbands service in the Civil and
Spanish wars were sufficient to cover
expenses until the house lease expired
and the landlord raised the rent
Richling had been active in the Boy
Scout campaign. A book, "Our Present

247 Seek to Enlist in
Army Here in One Day
Recruiting Officers Accept 81
Applicants, Largest Number
Since Armistice

More men were enlisted in the
United States Army by the New York
recruiting officers on Tuesday than
on any other day since the armistice,
it was announced yesterday. Out of
247 applicants on Tuesday "a were
accepted for service.
Officers ascribed the increase to the
advertising and publicity campaign for
recruits that was begun on Monday,
and which will continue for two weeks.
Posters describing the advantages of
army life have been placed in windows
and on street signboards, and adver-
tlsements for recruits have been in
serted in the newspapers for the first
time IN the history of the army.
The campaign is being conducted un-
der the direction of Colonel ]. T. Con-
rad from headquarters at 461 Eighth
Avenue. Captain f. Y. Keeler is di-
rector of advertising.
Many of the new recruits are ioin-
ing the army because they can get no
jobs, the officers say. Others are at
tracted by the opportunities to see
Europe, or the chance to get an cduca-
tlon at the expense of the government.
