Until the sixteenth century armor de-
veloped in logical way; its forms
were governed by the necessities of
war, changes in it were the result of
practical experience and actual expert
ment on the battlefeld-not decided
upon in the office of the minister of
war.
After the sixteenth century It b.
came fantastic and meaningless. a gala
costume rather than a" harness the
greatest captains opposed its use, but
the mobiles clung to it as mark of
distinction.
After it was made bufletproof it be-
came so enormously heavy that at the
end of the sixteenth century Lanone
complained that gentlemen of thirty
were already deformed by the weight
of their armor.

Taking Care of Their Own.
While the Presbyterian Comrades
of the New Era" are doubling their
efforts and their contributions toward
uplifting humanity at large in the
United States, they are not neglecting
their own people. They are increas-
ing underpaid ministers salaries
$L000,000 and are devoting another
c,illion to the care of disabled preach
ers. They are spending another mil
lion dollars for soldiers and sailors
returning from the war and for strick-
en- churches in the war zone of Europe.
They are spending $4,000,000 for work
overseas, including the operation of
175 hospitals and disTensaries. Alto
gether the Presbyterian church has
just appropriated not only $13,000.-
600 for benevoiences and educational
! purposes, but also $42,000000 addi-
/ tiOnal for their owe local expenses
] throughout the United States.
! The Comrades of the New Era
hope thus, 20 combat in this country
, the wave of ra 1icalism that is sweep
ing over the world. They claim that
no force of civilization except the
church can save the world in its pres
ent crisis and they take pride in be
ing peculiar enough to spend theil
own millions for this achievement
rather than appeal to the people al
large outside their own ranks fol
funds to erect bulwark against Dol
shevism.

this crusade.
The forests of America helped win
the war. The lumberjacks of these
forests, if left alone in the primeval
timberland, have tendency toward
lawlessness. Presbyterians determined
TO bring the benefits of civilization to
these men deep in the woods and are
planning to spend fortune in saving
them from themselves.
"You may do all the - preaching

Indebtedness

The net Indebtedness funded

227 cities amounted to 2,661,451, =
21S, or $7753 per capita. The net
increase during the fiscal year for
all cities taken as a group, S59,191,-
1852, was very much less than the
corresponding increase during the
preceding fiscal year in the 219
cities covered by the report for that
year, which amounted to $98,S46,-
500.
The net indebtedness of New
York City alone, S1,005, 055,422, is
more than three-fifths as great as
the total for all other cities of over
10000 taken together, and is more
than seven times as great as that
for Philadelphia, which stands sec

Revenues

The aggregate revenues of all the
cities during the year were $1,124,-
1899; the aggregate expendi-
lures for current expenses and in
terest, $S94,332,392; and the ag-
gregate OUTLAWS, $27S,363,437
Of the total revenues, $759O,577,-
4S7, or 20 per cent, represents re-
ceipts from the various kinds Of
taxes. The bulk of this amount,
05,723,15S, was derived from the
general property tax" made up of
taxes on real and personal property.
OF the remaining receipts from
taxes, the largest item, $685.
1888, was derived from taxes on the
liquor traffic. This amount is small
er by 81, 39S,000 than the CORE
spending sum reported for the fiscal
year 1917, although the total num-
Der of cities covered by the report
is greater by eight in the later year
imam In the earlier.
Next to taxes, the source of the
largest item of revenue is found in
the earnings of public service en-
terprises, which amounted to S116,-
494,645. This sum is considerably
more than double the amount of
payments for expenses of public
service enterprises, $55,174,4SO,
thus leaving net revenue from this
source of SCI, 320,165. The bulk of
the earnings of public service en-
terprises came from water supply
systems, from which the receipts ag-
gregated $9O,139,7O5.
Another important source of rev.
enue consisted of special assess
ments and special charges-the
bulk of which were for OUTLAWS
aggregating $72,673,7S5. This sum
is appreciably smaller than the cor
responding amount reported for the
preceding year-$S9,1 1876, $50.
For all the cities taken as a whole
the per capita receipts from prom
erty taxes amounted to $21.O3;
from other taxes, $500; from earn
ings of public service enterprises,
