ORIGINATOR OF
C.E. ASSOCIATION
At CONVENTION
DR.. Francis Clark PreSides at
All Meetings Of Sunday
School Organization; Omaha
Churches Cooperate.

Council Bluffs surrendered yes
terday to the Christian Endeavors,
500 of whom are in the city as
delegates to the Sind annual state
convention. The convention began
Friday afternoon and continued
throughout Saturday, but Sunday
was the big day, chiefly for the
reason that DR.. Francis E. Clark
of Boston, founder of the organiza-
ton, led the programs at all the
meetings. There was hearty CO.
operation shown by Omaha
churches, many spending Sunday
services to permit their congrega-
tons to come to Council Bluffs.
DR.. Clark reached Council Bluffs
at 12:45 o'clock Sunday morning,
and attended a Sunrise" meeting
in Paramount park at o'clock, at
tended meetings in the forenoon,
including a Gas prayer meeting in
the First Presbyterian church, and
spoke to a large audience in the
Auditorium at 2:30 o'clock, con-
Guiding with another general ad-
dress at the Auditorium at 8
o'clock.
Address Young People.
He is the third international Off
Ger of the Christian Endeavor
organization to attend the conven-
ton. His talks to the younger
classes were filled with practical,
fatherly advice. The Christian En-
deavor society is established in
every country on earth, and DR..
Clark has been a world-trotter for
years, completing and strengthen
ing the organization. In his talk
yesterday afternoon he referred,
with a deprecative tone, to the fact
that he hadn't been in Jerusalem
for four years" Virile, red-blooded
patriotism was dominant
in all of his utterances. He gave
the league of nations the warmest
support.
Cedar Rapids won over Des
MONIES in contest for the 1920

ent state officers were reelected:
c. H. Stauffacher, Cedar Rapids,

Pherrin, Omaha, field secretary,
and Mrs. Ida Reynolds of Elliott,

Second Dead Sea
Off EnqIish Coast

London.-A sea in which nothing
may live has come into being off
the southeast coast of England. It
is second Dead Sea.
Formerly this sea abounded in
life. It was the home of the sue
culent shrimp, the merry mussel
the winsome whelk and tie coy
cookie. Now the natural home of
these domestic dainties has fallen
under blight, and they have been
obliged to pack up their shells and
silently steal away.
Pegwell Bay is where the Dead
Sea lies. 1t was once the most
famous of the shell-hsh areas. Its
downfall is traced to the sinking
of an oil tank steamer early in the
war. The vessel was torpedoed one
night and thousands of gallons of
crude oil flooded over the Downs.
The oil swamped the haunts of
shrimp, mussel, whelk and cookie.
They were fabricated to death.
Further sinkings caused more pois-
on to invade the shellhsh beds, the
shrimps' breeding waters, and now
the whole area is dead.

Heavy Taxes Face Germans
To Liquidate War debts"

would be doubly handicapped, be-
cause the government would first
tax the property of all descendants
and then levy another tax when the
property passes to the heir. Prop
erty and money gifts made during
the lifetime of the donor would be
taxed heavily.
The taxes of individual German
states would be unified and real es-
tate near fortresses which would be-
come more valuable when the
strongholds are dismantled, would
help pay the empires financial ex-
penses. Tobacco and sugar taxes
would be increased and those on
matches and wax products would be
doubled. A high productive duty
would be imposed on imports to pro-
tect home industries and all amuse-
ments, celebrations and instructive
and educational gatherings would be
taxed on the number of tickets is
sued to patrons. Playing cards
would yield so cents per deck.
The government estimates that
the increase in taxes over last year
from various sources will be as fol-
lows:
Tobacco, 4OO,OOO,OOO marks; in
heritances, 47O,OOO,OOO; sugar, $780,
100000; recreations, 100000;
matches, ETC., 28,000,0O0; real estate,
$4,000 900, and playing cards, 8,00O,-
100000.
The income tax for 1919 is ex-
pected to bring an increase of L.
200,000,000 marks and property con-
fiscations will bring an estimated
sum of 10000, 100000 marks.

HOPE
TO WIN FIGHT
ON HYDRO power
Western and Southern Repre-
sentatives Pressing for Leg
isIation to Unlock the Re-
! sources of Their States.

Washington, June 2o-Western
and southern senator's and represen-
tatives pressing for water power
legislation to unlock the resources
of their states, now expect to win
their fight in congress during the
next few weeks after years of effort.
Senator Jones of Washington,
chairman of the commerce commit
tee, author of one of the pending
water power bills in the senate and
who will take charge of legislation
on the. floor, announced before leav-
ing for Washington, that latter a
long delay congress is about to act"
The house is half way through a
bill by Representative Esch of Wis
consin, chairman of the house COM
merce committee, and will resume
consideration Monday. 1t is iden-
teal in terms with the measure
which passed both house and senate
during the last congress, and has
reached the stage of a conference
report, which also was accepted by
the house, but which failed in the
senate on account of flibuster.
Same Measures in Senate.
Measures practically the same
have been introduced in the senate
by Senators Bankhead of Alabama
and Walsh of Montana. Senator
Shields has introduced another bill,
the same as twice was passed by
the senate in previous congresses,
and Senator Jones also has intro
duced a bill much the same as the
one now under consideration in the
house. Still another bill embodying
the ideas of Clifford Pinchot has
been introduced by Senator Lenroot
of Wisconsin. The support of the
western members seem to be CEN
tering around the Esch and Jones
bills with the exception that they
will be consolidated. The Jones bill
has been referred to the public lands
commission of which Senator Smoot
of Utah is chairman, and he has ap-
pointed a subcommittee of five of
that committee to work with a sub
committee Of the commerce COM
mittee having in hand the Jones bill.
Out of the combination, the sup
porters of waterpower legislation
expect to get measure, which being
the same as was approved by con-
gress at the last session, will still be
by Secretaries Lane, Hous-
ton and Baker, who compose the
inter-departmental water power
committee.
Reflects Long Contest.
The situation on water power
at this stage reflects the
long contest between those waiting
to develop water powers on the one
hand to get law, under which they
believe they can secure investment
of capital, and conservatism advo-
Gates on the other, who are con-
tending for restrictions to preserve
the interests of the government.
The bill, which failed at the last
congress, seemed to be satisfactory
10 both elements.
"The Esch bill is now before the
house." said Senator Jones, "and
will be passed within a day or So
The subcommittee, which has been
appointed by the commerce and pub
lie land committees of the senate
to deal with the water power ques-
tons, are about to take up their
work and will getically push it

CONGRESS WILL
soon CONSIDER
TREATY OF PEACE
Reconstruction Legislation Is
Also to Be Taken Up When
Body Enters Monday on
New Phase of Greer.

Washington, June 29.-The sixty
sixth congress called into special
session six weeks ago, enters Mon
day a new phase of its career.
With closing up of appropriation
bills needed July and ending of
discussion of peace treaty negotia-
tons followed by a weeks rest, a
clear field is expected for actual
consideration Of the German peace
treaty and reconstruction legisla-
ton.
A cleanup of conference reports
on the appropria ton bills-five in
number, aggregating about $3.50,
00O,000-is planned Monday to be
followed by a recess of congress
until Monday, July 7, soon after
which President Wilson is expected
to return and submit the treaty. If
unable to dispose of the appropria-
ton bills tomorrow. it is proposed
to have the recess, over July a, be-
gin Tuesday.
Conference committees worked
Sunday in an effort to get these bills
through upon schedule time Mon
day.
Senate activities in connection
with the peace treaty and league of
nations are expected to be virtually
suspended until President Wilson
submits the treaty next week. Many
senator's have planned to discuss
treaty issues in Fourth OF July and
other speeches during the recess.
No further action by the Foreign
Relations committee of the resolu-
ton of Senator Fall, republican of
New Mexico, forconclusion of peace
by independent resolutions of con-
gress is anticipated until next week.
Republican leaders claimed fur
Their progress toward cohesion Of
those objecting to the negotiations
of the peace treaty, while support
ers of the treaty expressed growing
conf ience in final ratification.
The republican leaders, it was
stated authoritatively, plan first
amendment Of the treaty in four
principal features-to eliminate ar
ticle 10 of the league of nations, to
further protect the Monroe doctrine
to eliminate domestic questions
from the leagues jurisdiction and
to provide for withdrawal from the
league without unanimous consent.
If baked in amendment, the OPP
position, it is said, plans to fall back
upon an effect to add reservations
to the ends in ratification.

Presidents Peace Message.
London, June "a peace mes
sage from President Wilson to the
Daily Mail and the Weekly Dis
patch is printed this morning in
the slater publication. 1t follows:
MANY things crowd into the
mind to be said about the peace
treaty, but the thought that stands
out in front of all others is that by
the terms of the treaty the greatest
possible measure of compensation
has been provided for peoples
whose homes and lives were
wrecked by the storm of war, and
security has been given them that
the storm shall not arise again. In
solar as we came together to in
sure these things, the work of the
conference is finished, but in
larger sense its work begins today.
In answer to All unmistakable ap-
peal, the league of nations has been
constituted and covenant had
been drawn which shows the way
to international understanding and
peace. s.
"We stand at the cross roads,
however, and the way is only
pointed out. Those who saw
through the travail of the war the
vision of world made secure for
mankind must, now consecrate their
lives to its relaxation. ,
