GEORGE w. WICKERSHAM
Former Attorney-General OF the
United States.

George w. Wickersham, former
Attorney General of the United
States, is actively enlisted in the Ma
tion-Wide Campaign of the Episco-
pal Church which is being waged for
more practical, efficient religion,
Discussing the awakening of the
people, as one of the outcomes of
the world war, and of their dawning
consciousness OF power and infu-
ence in shaping the worlds affairs,
Mr.. Wickersham says:
ut is distinctly a church function
to lead in this. The politicians can't
do it. 1t isn't a situation in which
partisan passion should play any
part. 1t Is human problem, and
the part which the church must play
is that of getting down to human
basis in its relations with men and
women and approaching them not
only from their spiritual, but from
their material side as we'll
1--WE have had too much religion
that goes over the heads of the peo-
pie. We haven't been practical and
we haven't been efficient. The re-
ligion of the new era must recognize
and advocate that men and women
are rational human beings, entitled
to fair and adequate compensation
for their toll, and the blessings of
light, air, sunshine, flowers; ample
hours in which to enjoy all these
and stimulating amusements, That
is at once good economies and good
religion. 1t is a religion that makes
for efficiency, and a religion that is
human, and practical"
This increasing Of the human,
practical and efficient side of re-
ligion is one of the big problems to
be tackled by the Episcopal Church
in its Nationwide Campaign to in
crease at home and abroad its re-
ligious, educational hospital and
social service work. After an in
tensive educational campaign viii
come an every member canvass Of
communicates of the Episcopal
Church on December for funds to
the amount Of more than $40, 0O0, 900
and for 1900 additional church
workers.

To Wipe Out
Irredeenlable
Currency

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6. Omitted
Press. l-A recommendation that
steps be taken to obtain an interna-
tional agreement whereby all ire
deemable paper currency throughout
the world be wiped out to eliminate
years of high cost of living, has been
made to President Wilson'S industrial
commission.
This was the first concrete propo-
sal that has come before the confer
ence which convened Monday. 1t
was submitted by John F. Shafroth,
former United States Senator from
Colorado, and now chairman of the
war minerals relief commission.
Shafroth stated that years of in
flated living costs would be avoided
by this method 1t was Ia years after
the Civil War before the United
States was able to bring up to par
value the great amount of irredeem-
able paper currency that was issued
as result Of the war, he pointed out.
The United States would not be af-
fected by Shafroth's proposal for all
paper currency is redeemable at the
surv for its designated value.
Both in countries such as Germany,
where the mark, of a normal value
OF about "a cents, is now redeemable
for only 24 cents and France,
where the franc of the normal value
of about 20 cents, is redeemable for
only 10 cents, the discrepany between
the face value of the money and the
redeemable value would be wiped out.
1.-THE principal cause of the high
cost of living is the fact that nearly
all European nations have been COM
PEELED to abandon redemption of their
credit money in gold and to issue in
lieu thereof paper currencies," Shat
roth said, thereby decreasing the
demand for the purchasing power of
gold and hence increasing the price
of everything gold will buy"

National Rivers and
.Harbors Conference

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-After
fourteen years as active head of the
organization-one year as Chairman
of the Executive Committee and thir-
teen years as President-Senator
Ransdell has notified the officers and
members of the National Rivers and
Harbors Congress that he will retire
at the close Of his present term. As
he declares that his decision is definite
and final, one of the important mat
tiers before the Fifteenth Convention
which meets in this city on the ninth,
tenth and eleventh of December, will
be the election of his successor.
Mr.. Ransdell has served twenty
years in the Congress, fourteen years
in the House and six in the Senate,
and during all that time he has been
an insistent, consistent and persist
ent advocate of the development and
utilization of waterways from the
Atlantic to the Pacific and from the
Great Lakes to the Gulf. II was due
to suggestion made by him in a
speech at Cincinnati in 1905 that the
National Rivers and Harbors Con
gress, which had been organized in
Baltimore in 1901, was recognized
and began the activities which have
been continued ever since.
There will be notable array of
guests Of honor at the banquet on
Wednesday evening, December tenth,
Acceptances have already been re-
cived from the Vice-President, who
will be the POSTMASTER, and Mrs.
Marshall; the Secretary of War and
Mrs. Baker; the Secretary Of the

Cartier, the Belgian Ambassador; the
Minister Of the Serbs, Croats and

Esch Bill entirely removes this prohi-
bition in so far as it relates to boat
lines on the Great Lakes or Long Is.
land Sound. The opposition is espec-
tally strong in New York State, where
it is said that, with railroads controll-
inc boats on the Lakes and the Sound,
the prospects of securing a paying
business for their $l55, 100000 Barge

He discussed the treaty question with
the President briefly after the con-

"He is just going to let it stay
