BACK FROM FRONT GOES
TO WORK FOR CHURCH

Emporia, Va. August 18.-Twenty
Years militiamen in the Virginia
National Guard. Colonel Edward E.
Goodwin, who saw hard service in
France. has returned home with
every expectation that his experience
abroad will invigorate his work at

One OF the first things Colonel
Goodwin did was to accept the post
cf chairman of the Parish commit
tee of Christ church in the nation
wide campaign that the Episcopal
church is conducting. In this con-
rection, speaking of the relation be-
tween a mans war service and his
after-the-war service, Colonel Good
win said today-
"A man is a soldier because a.
citizan. His citizenship determines
everything. Our duties arise from
the circumstances in which we are
placed. / am doing my duty as a
ehurchman in the same matter of
fact way that soldiers went over when
called"
The nation wide campaign of the
Episcopal church. now in progress. is
n campaign to enlarge the executives
of the church. Primarily it is a
campaign Of education and inspra-
ton. BY it the church hopes to
strengthen her spiritual forces no less
than her material needs. II will be
brought to a close in the fall with an
every member canvass.

TO follow the United States into tho
war"
AS soon as Japan entered the war
she began tho occupation Of Chinese
territory upon the ground that It was
a military necessity. China's protests
were OF no avail.
Willard fatty charged that Japan
"blackmailed" the European nations
into signing the agreements to permit
her to grab Chinese territory. He
said:
''The first knowledge China had Of
the existence OF the secret agreements
was when they were sprung on the
peace conference by the japanese dele
gates Japan had not only. tried to
keep China from Joining the allies.
hoping thereby to make ChinA's be-
trayal easier by refusing her . voice
in the peace conference, but Japan
threatened to quit the conference 1t
Versailles IL the secret engagements
with Great Britain. France and Italy
were not .ived up to. The reason
Great Britain. France and italy were
unable to do anything to protect Chin
csc rights was because they had al
ready signed away those rights to ia
pan by these secret treaties.
Willard told Of conversations with
British and French officials In Paris
who ridicu.ed the policy Of the United
States with regard to Far Eastern az
fairs. He said they declared that II
the United States would quit its shift
ing and stumbling policy the situa-
ton in the East would be different. In
tnswer to a direct question ~ to
whether Japan would ever give Shan
tung back to China. Willard said.
Not unless she II compelled TO-.
and believe she will 30 maneuvAr her
diplomacy as to neutraltxe the oppo-
sition which other nations might IN
terpose."
When the committee adjourned
Senator Lodge announced that they
would assemble At the white house at

ures In this connection the government

While the.state department message

foreigner by bandits was reported. He
is DIR. A. Goenag. citizen of Porto

and was being held for ransom OF
several thousand dollars on the
Aiusco mountain. A large detachment
of Carranzaist troops are said to be in
summer quarters near this point.
Further reports OF outrages on the
persons and property OF foreigners by
Mexicans also reached the state de-
partnent today
One dispatch declared that on
Thursday last bandits had raided the
office of the Penna- Mexico Fuel COM
nany at Tuxpam and made OFF with
$4,000 pesos. Another stated that reb-
els had attacked truck train Of the
Aiverado Milling company on its way
10 Parrel from ,Jimiez. In beating
them off an American, an employe of
the company. is said to have been

The stationery made by the state
department OF its demand upon Car

Lieutenant Herold G. Peterson. Of the
l.. S. army air service, captured by
bandits near Canelaria, Texas. while
patrolling the border and threatened

$4,000 ransom. The Instructions
pointed out the seriousness with which
the United States government views
this situation and called for irnmedi-

also directed the American consul at
Juarez Mexico, to take all possible
steps with Mexican authorities there to
secure release and protection Of the

STEEL PROPELLER FOR
use ON AIRPL ANES
Prof. Morgan Brooks of Univer-
sity of Illinois Develops
New Device.

Morgan Brooks, professor of cleo
trical engineering at the University of
Illinois, has developed a practically
n~Oiseless, hlgh-speed, steel airplane
propeller. intended for direct connec-
tion with the highest speed gasoline
engine, according to announcement at
Urbana, I'll.
A considerable loss Of power is now
endured in the reduction speed gear
used In all but the smallest a~irplanes,
as airplane engines have a normal
speed greater than the ~two-blade
wooden propeller can stand.
This was of special interest to Brig.
Gen. l.. f. o. Charlton, air attache
to the British embassy at Washington,
who saw the models tested at the
university recently.
'The laws of abr dynamics are suf-
a model almost conclusive as to the
results TO be expected from a full
sized propeller" Professor Brooks
said. "At the same speed the thrust
or pull of a propeller varies with the
fourth power of a dimension. there
fore the pull of five pounds found On
test of an 1s-inch model indicates a
pull of so pounds of a propeller of
36 inches In diameter. The test was
made below standard speed, so a nor
NAL thrust would be obtained for a
practice plane with only SO inches d.
a. A. 81
spread Of the planes used in Chanute
field, Rantoul, ILL.,"
The particular advantage of a small
diameter would be the lifting of the
landing wheels to a position much
nearer the center Of gravity axis,
thus making a poor landing much SAT-
er from avoidance of headers. not I'M
common with the present type OF
planes, Professor Brooks said.
