 "The purpose of the publication or French and Belgian Professionalism is twofold first to give accurate intorma- ton as to Professionalism in France from the earliest days to the present time, and second, to inspire American Christians of every denomination with love and rever- ence for their brethren of France-doubly theirs now by the blood-brotherhood of the French Field of Honor"-and to rouse the impulse to aid and serve them by all possible means" says Louise Seymour Houghton who has admirablby compiled the data for the book
 Continuing, Mrs. Houghton says:
 s'rhe collaboration of Dr. Charles S Mcfarland and of pr. Eddison Mosiman has counted for much. In the character and value of this book. It was undertaken by the request of pr. Mcfarland ana carries out his plans as to structure and contents. His visits to Franace made him an effective medium between the wishes and purposes of French and American church leaders, by which the book as Y stands has greatly profted: whie~in this country Dr. Mosiman's unfiagging inter est and ready counsel have brought strong aid to the execution of the plans adopted. It remains only to be said that the manuscript of the handbook was SUD mitted to the executive committee of the French Protestant federation and to leading men in all American denomina- tions concerned with work in France. Such errors as they have pointed out were rectifed. and their observations taken into careful consideration Ine Handbook now goes forth approved py Protestant leaders in France and in our own country.

TRAINING OF A SALESMAN By William Maxwell; J B Lippincoi


 William Maxwell, in his book en- titled, Training of a Salesman" gives straight talks" thefe are no useless discussions; the real meat Of selling in nutshell-the experience tested sales mans stuff on approach and greeting, sizing up the customer, overcoming in- difference, selling mistakes, traveling the road to riches, getting the order.
 'Sa1esmen are born and not made" it is said. The truth of the matter Is that we are all born salesmen. Prac- tically any average man can develop and train himself into good salesman. Possibly you have already made a notable success as a salesnan-but are you progressive? Or are you content to get -business" in the way you have al- ways done? Do you feel that you have reached your limit of value? A new view of the selling art may mean new opportunities, new methods and an in- crease in your personal efficiency as a salesman. Are you sure that you have not fallen into the rut that so many good salesmen fall into--of becoming merely a high class order taker? No matter how clever and good a salesman you may be, you can become even more valuable to yourself and to your firm by training and study. This new book, with its questionnaire. provides for both young and old salesmen a splendid method of continually testing the sub tie qualities which mean progressive" salesmanship.

Motor Bandits

The bandits who descend upon
business places. commit robbery
and get away by automobiles, are
one of civilizations latest periIs.
They may light on the remote conn
try bank, or the crowded mettobol-
itan business. 01ly few days ago
they looted four hotels under the
nose of the New York police, and
then robbed a Brooklyn store of
$1,000 worth of bonds and $1,000 in
cash. Police forces everywhere will
have to study out plans for captur-
ing such fellows. They are as like
ly to hit next in Monroe City las
anywhere. ~;
10 case of a successful getaway
by thieves using an automobile. the
first thought is to get the number
of the car. Police officers should
understand that it is of the utmost
importance that all cars be required
to carry their license numbers, and
that these must be kept clean and
we'll lighted at night. But even
then the robbers may use false
number plate, removing it as soon
as possible.
Police and detectives everywhere
will have to make plans for very
swift action to head off these crimi-
nails. In small cities and towns, it
ought to be possible within few
moments after such break. to no
tify garages and police all along
outlying roads to look for a certain
type of car with number if posi-
BILE. Liberal rewards should be
offered for assistance.
In big cities with their swarm Of
cars in constant motion. the problem
is more difficult. Still modern sys-
TENS of police telephones should
make it possible to spread the news
of such an escape through an en-
tise city police force within a very
short time. The automobile is
swift, but the telephone is swifter.
Specially heavy sentences might
we'll be imposed when such thieves
are caught, for using a means of
escape full of peril to the public.

To Honor Pershine

Congress having failed 10 its orig
inal motion to award sword Of
solid gold to General John J Per-
shing, commander of the A. E. F. in
France, a movement has been in
augurated in Kansas City whereby
the people of Missouri are to do the
job that the representatives at
Washington left undone. The Kan
sas City Post has launched the
campaign for a popular fund with a
subscription of $500 and people
throughout the state are now being
asked to help swell the total that a
fund of sufficient size can he raised
to purchase the word of gold and
%reseu. it TO Pershlns as token of
the affection in which he is held by
the people of his own state.
General Pershing is a native of
Missouri and Tne Post plan is that
only Missourians, either by birth or
adoption. shall be permitted to con-
tribute to the fund in honor of the
noted commander. 1t also is the
aim to make the fund as represent
ative as possible and accordingly
subscriptions will be sought in every
county in the state.
William 7. Kemper of the Nation
al Bank of Commerce, Kansas City;
John l. Williamson. a Kansas City
attorney and the Rev. Donald Dun
can Munro, a widely known Kansas
City minister, have been named as
trustees of the fund, with R F.
Brewster of the National Bank of
Commerce as treasurer.

where. If the world wants to secure
peace, the leading powers will have
to organize to maintain it. Hence
the world needs a League of Ma
tions. The United can't expect it
to be q success until it takes hold
and helps make it 60.
The proposed constitution of the
League is vogue in certain points
" hich should be cleared up. The
one vital thing in ratifying this
constitution is to make il sure that
the United States can Withdraw il
the League proves a failure from
the American view ppint.
Also public sentiment will de-
mand that the United States shall
not be required to participate 10 any
war save by act of Congress, that
the League shall not interfere with
the internal affairs of the country
a nd that the Monroe doctrine be
maintained. With these principles
clearly established by reservations
the United States will sufficiently
control the situation.
AS for that direct amendments
that would necessitate further nego.
tiation of the peace treaty. these
may be desirable to adopt later
but it is not geod judgment to in
sist on them now. The treat,
should be ratified at once. to enc
the terrible turmoil with which the
W orld is seething 1t will take year:
of debate and experience before the
