If that represented the total amount of
material Mr.. Cuthell replied:
mo. The final accounts will reach
into hundreds of millions" He added
that the transactions had been carried
on without the slightest friction and
that he had found the representative
Of both England and France always
ready to meet him half way.
Other passengers included Brigadier
General Preston Brown, chief of staff
of the I'd Division, and Colonel Samuel
P. Herren, who returned with the 34th

Admiral William S. Benson.
DR.. Pessoa was on his way from

Platton, Metropolitan of
Odessa, on Whose Head
Price Was Placed, Here
to Tell Bolshevik Crimes
Declares Reds Near Fall
Churchman Says Generals
Fighting Present Regime
Will Establish Assembly

platton Rozschestevensky, Metropol-
tan Of Odessa and one of the highest
d;Snitaries Of the Russian Church, ar
rived in this city yesterday from No
voriisk on the steamship Vladimir with
an appeal to America to come to the
Aid of his stricken country. Platton,
az he is known in the Russian Church,
vas escorted to St. Nicholas Cathedral,
Ninety-seventh Street and Madison
Avenue, by Bishop Alexander and a
number of Russian churchmen who
knew him when he was Russian Bishop
for the United States and Canada, from
1907 to 1914. This is his second visit
to America.
The aged prelate succeeded in max
ing his escape from Russia after the
Bolshevikl had bounded him for many
months and placed price upon his
head. He said that before the entrance
Of the Bolsheviki into Odessa, which
was evacuated by the French, the Boil
sheviki had spread broadcast the an
nouncement that they would kill him.
He said his purpose in coming to
America now is to place before the
American people the cause of his suf-
fering people, and to present for the
Judgment of the United States the
crimes of the Bolshevik regime and
the "martyrologue of the Russian
Church.
He charged the Bolsheviki with kill
ing hundreds of priests, among them a
number of church dignitaries, and with
the execution of scores of thousands
of peasants who raised their voices in
protest against the persecution Of the
church. He expressed a belief in the
early resurrection of Russia and said
that "within ten or fifteen years Rus
country in Europe" He predicted the
early fall of the Bolshevik regime, say
ing that the Russian generals now lead
ing armies against them are permeated
with the highest idealism and love of
country and will lead Russia to Con-
stituent Assembly, when they will sur
render their authority and step aside.
The churchman fears that the Jewish
people in Russia will suffer greatly
as result of the activity of Jewish
Bolshevik leaders, but promised that
the Russian Church and the intelligent
classes of Russia will do their best to
prevent Jewish massacres, $50 that the
innocent Russians may not suffer for
the sins of the Leiba Bronstein-

kumely Pleads Not Guilty

DR.. Edward A. Rumely, former pub
Usher and editor of "The Evening
Mall yesterday entered a tentative
plea Of not guilty before Judge John
c. Knox in the Federal District Court
to an indictment charging him with
making false returns to the Alien
Property Custodian. This indictment
grew out of the purchase of "The
Mail" with money which is alleged to
have been supplied by the imperial
German government. William L.
Wemple, counsel for Rumely, was
given week in which to withdraw the
plea or take other action.
similar Indictment is pending
against Rumely in Washington, and it
is expected that he will be tried in the
District of Columbia first.

WHY NOT ADVERTISE
THE CHURCH?

Just why the newspapers of our
cities and towns do not carry more ad-
vertising of churches and church SER
vices has been cause for wonderment
on the part of good many advertis-
ing men.
Churches, such as the Bethany
Church, Presbyterian, of Philadelphia,
in which Mr.. John Wanamaker has
long been active, have advertised sue
cessfully, but even they have, in the
judgment of able critics fallen far be-
hind the possibilities.
If there are 20,000,000 people in the
United States who, in the belief of
churchmen, ought to 60 to church and
do not, why not advertise to them?
The same people are reached and in
fiuenced by the advertising of Liberty
Loan campaigns, department stores,
and theatres, why not churches?
Here is thought for the business
man who is interested IN his church,
who wants to see sitsa success finan-
cislly as well as spiritually IN its in.

fluence in the community.
Rev. Daniel Hoffman Martin, D. D.,
OF New York, recently said in The
American Lutheran:
an the good old times the only adj
vertisement the church needed was the
bell which pealed its silvery announce
ment on the Sabbath air. But now
the church bell must compete with the
breakfast bell, the telephone bell, the
door bell, the locomotive bell and the
various appeals to turn the holy day
into holiday.
THE modern Sabbath makes a many
sided appeal. The call to worship is
muffled in the call of the golf links,
the tennis courts, the excursion trains,
the automobiles, the motion pictures
and the voluminous Sunday papers.
Printers ink as an aid to church
publicity is comparatively new idea.
The church has always stood for
things other-world and occupied a po-
sltion of such dignity and sobriety
that it has seemed sacrilege to name
it in the advertising columns of a
newspaper. But this is a strenuous
age for the church. It's right to live
is questioned when everything sacred
and secular is flung into the melting
pot for a new judgment and all things
are re-examined and tested.
"Boday the church has to make as
strong bid for popular support as a
store makes for customers. Failure
to draw is as fatal to minister as to
a merchant. Commerce has discovered
that the newspaper is the messenger
which goes into every home telling
about soap and soup and pins and
needles. Why should not the church
harness that same force to the Gospel
chariot?
"A religion Of stills does no good.
"No organization in the business
world makes such slow progress in the
adoption of new ideas as the church.
Hundreds of churches have no more
members this year than last. They
never spend one dollar in publicity
work. Their official boards are static.
never dynamic. They never make any
appropriations for publishing the glad
tidings.

HUMAN pat" DYER

Judge David P. Dyer, affectionately
known throughout Missouri as pat
Dyer, has resigned from the Federal
bench at the age Of 81. There are
thousands who will be sorry that he
is leaving the court, but there is none
who will begrudge him his honorably
earned rest.
There may be jurists in America
more learned in the law than Judge
Dyer, but none more learned in human
nature. He was always a man deal
ing with men, not an avenger of the
broken law dealing with captured VIC
Tins. He dealt out humanity, then
justice.
Impatient of technicalities and legal
bubbles, he always went to the heart
of things, questioning defendants, ask
ing them about their home lives, their
children, their hopes and their disap-
pointments. Men who appeared be-
fore him for sentence left the court
room feeling that they had been be-
fore a human brother and they had
been treated fairly.
Always popular with the people,
Judge Dyer justified their faith in him
by his excellent disposition of the
United Railways tangle. 1t was the
GROWING act of useful career.
The best tribute that can be paid to
Judge Dyer is that neither encroach-
ing years, the judicial dignity nor ear
ly political disappointments could
eradicate or even dim the bright spark
of humanity in his heart.
May "Pat" Dyer live many more
years to enjoy his well-won rest.-Re-
public,

Louis & Iron Mountain Railroad Co.
built road 16 miles south of Cape
Girardeau, leaving these two towns off
the railroad, it was decided to vote
bonds to build railroad connection.
Bonds aggregating 100000 were
voted, half by the town and half by
the township, and right of way was
secured, for which absolutely nothing
was paid, for distance of 40 miles,
running in southwesterly direction
toward Poplar Bluff. A dump was
built for some miles, few bridges
and conduits were put in, and finally
two miles of rails were laid. One
WORKOUT locomotive and a few fiat
cars were also purchased.
The people were now intoxicated
over the prospects of having rail-
road, and in a short time all the mon
ey was gone and the contractors began
to demand pay for labor and material.
Liens were filed, suits brought to
collect the money and judgments rem
dered. Executions were issued and
levied on the right of way, and it was
sold to satisfy the judgments. The
equipment was sold, the little engine
being loaded on a fiat-boat and taken
to st. Louis.
Houck's Project
Louis Houck, pioneer railroad build
err of Southeast Missouri, came to the
rescue and made a proposition to
build the road, if arrangements could
be made for acquiring the right of
way. Thus it was that Houck began
to build the road, which was later to
be acquired by the Frisco System and
expanded into two great lines, one to
Poplar Bluff and the Southwest and
the other to Memphis on the south
and St. Louis on the north.
