 Just a word, taking issue with this at titude; contemplation of the sunset fills the soul with ecstacy to dream is to see afar, with the eye of faith, blessings that are winging their way toward us; to watch the clouds of evening pile up in colorful radiance against the sky, to see them borrow at the hour of the days decline the splendor and majesty of heaven, is to realize how triumphant the close of life may be; when the sun of the material world has set and dark ness is fast falling about us everywhere, suddenly the sun of heaven filings back this token of the brightness of immor Far from being saddened as the end of all things, the sunset is quite as full of promise as the dawn; it may not be so immediate in fulfillment as the sunrise, q night of soft darkness and sweet peace must intervene, a night of calm moon- light and whispering stars; but surely it comes-this hour of sunrise-with it's call 10 action and fullness of life.

JIMMY" BRITT SEES
DEMPSEY AS CHAMPION
FORMER LIGHTWEIGHT SAYS
WILLARD WILL TIRE
EARLY IN FIGHT

San Francisco, Cal, June 21.-
Jimmy" Britt, former lightweight
pugilist, is one of those who has
gone on record as favoring Dempsey
in his championship heavyweight
bout against Jess Willard, the cham
pion at Toledo On Independence day.
Dempsey is the harder hitter of
the two" said Britt. Willard has
passed the fighting age and he never
was a man to polish off his oppon-
ents in a hurry. Willard is bound
to tire early in the fight and to be-
come more tired as the fight goes
on. Unless he picks off Dempsey at
the start, l can't see that he has a
chance"

there has been established by the

Colonel Parker Hit, chief signal
officer, a network of wires connect

This extensive plant has not,
however. been built by the Third

WASHINGTON, d. c., June %
Social work in the army in any flu
ture emergency should be handled
by the government itself through
a single, non-secetarian agency, in
the opinion of Raymond d. Fosdic,
chairman of the commission on
training camp activities, expressed
in a report made public today by the
war department. Secretary Baker
was said to be substantially in ac-
cord" with Mr.. Fosdick's' view.

tartan nature of the Young Mems
Christian association, Knights of
Columbus, Jewish Welfare board or
other societies sharing in the United
War Work campaign fund of $172,-

provided 1.-The worst possible basis
for social work with the army q
result for which he held the train
ing camp commission responsible
for having turned to these private
agencies.
ut seems to me- said Mr.. Eos
dick, that the lesson of the war in
social work involves perhaps three
points: The elimination of sectarian
auspices; reduction in the number OF
agencies employed; and the trans
fer to the government itself of much
of the activity hitherto left to pri-
vate initiative"

SALT LAKE, June 24.-The i'm
p~ortance of organization, as eX-
emplified during the war emergency,
and a plea to ecure a possible mem
bership of 3OO,OOO of which only ten
per cent now are enrolled were
brought out in an address today by
Frank B. Connolly of San Francisco,
former president of the Retail Gro
GERS association of the United
States which is holding it's annual
convention. He said in part:
when Herbert c. Hoover was APP
pointed United States food admin
istrator, he realized it was necessary
to inaugurate an effective system
of food control in the shortest pos
sible time. He summoned to Wash
ington the members of the executive
board of our national association,
representing every section of the
country, and formed the committee
on retail distribution.
"At regular intervals during the
war we assembled at Washington
to solve the problems presented, and
through our organization rendered
valuable assistance to the govern
ment. Ours was a standing army
already modified, ready to act-a
powerful ally to the federal food
administration.
ITO make more effective this sys-
tenn of food control in every small
community, the state and county
food administrators found 1t neces-
sary to constantly confer with the
members of our local associations at
their meetings to explain the regu-
lations issued by the U. S. food ad-
ministration that we're put into ef-
feet to bring about proper food con-
servation.

~tailers were unorganized, these food
administrators found their duties

budget and with 5000 representa-
tives in France, was far the largest
and received a good deal OF criti-
cism from the soldiers in France"
Some of this criticism is mer-
ited," Mr.. Fosdick said; much OF
it is due, l believe, to misunder-
standing"
The bulk of the complaint arose
from Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation operation of army c%anteens,
which Chairman Fssdick said was a
mistake although it was undertaken
as a service to the army and re-
leased a large combatant personnel.
From early days the canteen had
been an army %perquisite and the
soldiers could not understand why
it should be handed over to a "pri-
vate society which was at the same
time raising millions at home for
support" the report said, and con-
tinued:
Moreover, the personnel of the
Y. M. c.. A. was unframed for this
kind of work and it soon found it
self in a maze of business and tech
nical difficulties with which it was
unable at first to cope. In the minds
of the soldiers, it Immediately be-
came a commercial organization and
from this stigma it has never sue
ceeded in freeing ITSELF"
So far as the effect of the transfer
of the canteens went on the army
command, the report continued, lit
was a genuine relief to the general
staff that during the fighting days
of the army, it did not have to

COBLENZ, June 23.-At the time
the Americans began Withdrawing
from Germany the United States
army had perfected one of the fin
est telephone systems in Europe.
From the headquarters of the
Third army in Coblenz SO long dis
ance lines had been set up and it is
possible for the commanding gen.
eral to sit in his office and talk
with American officers in London,
Berlin, Vienna, Rotterdam, Brus-
sells, Antwerp, Paris and various
other points in France.
The army of occupation has a
telephone system closely resembling
the best commercial system in the
United States. On the top floor OF
the headrarters building in Coblenz
a nine position switchboard was in
stalled soon after the Americans
reached the Rhine. Scattered
throughout Coblenz are 20 private
branch exchanges of the various
units of headquarters. Connected

teen problem.
1.-The charge hat the Y. M. c. A.
made money out of the canteen is of
course erroneous" said Mr.. Eos
dick. However high it's prices
may have been in individual locali-
ties, considered as a business Ven
ture the total results show large
losses"
Another ground for criticism of
the Y M. C. A. which Mr.. Fosdick
said was somewhat justified was in
the character of it's personnel. While
many of it's men were we'll qualified
for their work, he said, many
others were utterly unadapted to
this purpose and had no common
ground in mixing with u virile,
red-blooded young soldiers" He
found also, however, the field of
choice was limited, men of proper
qualifications being in most cases
in the army.
The work of $500 young women
serving under the Y. NJ. C. A. with
the troops in France lis beyond
praise" Mr.. Fosdick stated, the girls
being far better adapted to the task
than the average man. He said also
the change of badly adapted person
rel could not be confined to the Y.
NJ. C. A. alone.
Viewed broadly. Mr.. Fosdick de-
ciared, 1.-The Y. NJ. c.. A.. deserves

were that since 40 per cent of our

organizing other lines of trade. The
fact remains, however, that nearly
every state association that consti-
