was forced to quit my position on

and do nothing but try to find re

Il have been under treatment
numbers of times, tried many diff

Hands Across the Sea"

The first important "hands across the sea" movement, designed to cul- tivate more cordial relations between Great Britain and the United States, was launched forty-eight years ago today, Jan. 25, 1871, when the Anglo American Association was es- tablished. The movement enlisted the support of many men of promi- hence in both countries, and per formed an important work In 1898 the Anglo-American League was formed at Stafford House in London for the purpose of securing "the most cordial and constant co-operation' between nations which 'are closely allied in blood, inherit the same liter ature and laws, hold the same prin- ciples of self-government, recognize the same ideas of freedom and hu- manity in the guidance of their ma tional policy, and are drawn together by strong common interests in many parts of the world" Most inf1uent- ial of the present-day societies of this kind is ''The Pilgrims" organized in London in 1902, with 400 British members and 500 in America. The members include Chauncey NJ. Depew, Nicholas Murray Butler. Alton B. Parker, Cornelius Vanderbilt, and many others of prominence.

Princess Margaret

A marriage destined to have a tremendous influence on the history of the British islands was celebrated 416 years ago today, when Princess Margaret Tudor became the bride of King James ". of Scotland. The girl who thus became Queen of Scots was then only thirteen years old. and was the oldest daughter of Henry VII of England. The ceremony was performed at the manor of Rich mond, but the bridegroom was not among those present, he being repre- sented by his proxy, Patrick, Earl of Boutwell,. In arranging this union it was the purpose of King Henry to bring about a union of the two king doms, long at ennity with each other. While this object was not immedi- ately accomplished, and the husband of the English princess was slain while leading an invasion of Eng land, the marriage marked the first step toward thes eventual accomplish ment of the union of England and Scotland.

FAREWELL SERVICES AT THE
 FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH.

Dr. John R. Brown, pastor of the First Baptist Church, West and Washington avenues, breaches his farewell sermons on Sunday. On Thursday he goes to Rochester, N. l., to take up his new work as pro- lessor in the Rochester Theological Seminary.
 In the morning he wilu speak on the subject: Where God Comes In" and in the evening on The League of Nations as an Expression of Chris tianity." The league of nations is not new idea. It was born in the minds of the Jewish prophets. It was suggested by Christian dream CTS and publicists Now it is about to be realized. The part that re- lgious faish has had in the making of this part, the way in which hard headed men of the world have come to adopt it, and the influence that il will have in the world on the future ot war and the progress of the race will be shown. The league of na- tions is the greatest triumph of the war, and is a partial compensation for all the loss and suffering of the last four years.
