HlGH-CLASS WOMEN WRITERS
Fair Sex Has Taken a Prominent
Place iH Literature, and in the
Production of Plays.

Further signs of the emancipation"
of women are seen on the covers Of
new books and magazines. The names
of women authors, except in the case
of war books, where the women are
at a disadvantage, seem to Outnumber
the men. In no class of writing are
the women unrepresented. For many
years women have been writing nov
els and doing a good job of it more
than occasionally, as readers of Jane
Austen, George Eliot, the Brontes and
others less known will bear witness.
Among contemporaries there are per-
haps as many women novelists from
whom a skillful and high-class work
can be expected as there are men.
Until a few years ago the woman
playwright was more or less a rar-
ity. Looking back over the history Of
the theater it will be difficult for the
average person to recall a single fem
mime name that stands out promi-
nently through connection with the
making Of plays. Last year several
of the most stimulating and interest.
ing plays seen were by women writer's.
Names Of women dramatistS on Broad
way theater signs are almost as COM
mon as those of men.

mark a turning point in the history of
Methodism and usher in a new era of
spiritual conquests.
Surely the Savior will hear and
bless such unselfish prayers.
The prayer life of great men has
always been interesting. The prayer
life of the church means much. Men
may do all sorts of good things with
out prayer, but Jesus surely taught
that unclean spirits were cast out by
nothing but prayer and fasting. Mr..
Fostick has caught the true value of
prayer and said: IF thing can be
done, experience and skill can do it;
If thing cannot be done only faith
can do it," The Edinburgh Confer
ence, in 1910, made the following pro-
nouncement: when the church sets
to pray with the same seriousness and
strength of purpose that it has de-
voted to other forms of Christian eff
fort, it will see the kingdom of God
come in power" 1t is a glorious
thought that the new year calls our
people to their knees and that the
first month of the new year finds the
| Methodist church called to pray Gods
blessing upon the Centenary move
ment Mr. w. E. Doughty has caught
! the value Of intercession in this great
movement The whole course of the
spiritual history of Methodism for the
next fifty years may be determined
by the response to this bold, daring
Centenary challenge. More tragic
than not to receive the millions asked
would be the tragedy of not coming
into fresh, vital fellowship with
Christ.
The human victory on which vic
tory will turn will not be a method
or a plan or an organization or
trained staff of workers, but the quail
ity and devotion put into the program.
Mobolize the spiritual forces; this is
the heart cry of the Great Command
er. Enlist the services of interces-
| sors; this is the hope of victory
Press into and release the measureless
researches of the energies adequate to
quicken the church and revitalize the
world

bers of the Fellowship of Intercessors
Men of the Bible prayed. Men even
in our modern struggles have prayed
Washington, as he fought the fight
for freedom, prayed earnestly Even
at Valley Forge he had his quiet hour
and prayed, kneeling on the snow, for
help for the ragged Continentals
Lincoln prayed earnestly and prayed
with a passion. Perhaps Marshal
Foch is the best known military figure
in the whole world, and it is well
known that he tries to spend at least
one hour in church each day, praying
God for help.
When Jesus called his followers to
prayer, he called them to the source
OF strength. Let us all pray. 1t is
a believers privilege.

COMPLETE CHAOS IN RUSSIA
Inevitable Anarchy as the Result Of
insufficient Supplies of Food
for the People.

BY far the most terrible toll of the
Russian Writer will be taken in the
peasant villages, the home of nine
tenshs of RusSia's 1S0,000.000, Oliver
Nj. Sayler writes in the Saturday Eve
ming Post. The sullen and defiant
muzhik, who has planted for himself
and only for himself, hasn't taken in
to account the possibility that superior
force from the city or from his own or
a neighboring village may seize his
grain. When the calamity befalls, an
endless train of disaster and blOOdshed
and starvation will follow in its wake.
Reprisal on some weaker peasant
Will be the next step, and from that
the flame will spread to virulent bOr-
der warfare with whole villages on
the trail to plumber the grain bins of
others or intrenched to protect their
own. In some districts, even before /
left, this most cruel form of civil strife
had broken out.
I contemplated returning from Pet
rograd to Moscow by sleigh overland
in case the German advance envelOped
the railroad outlets. Careful investiga-
ton, however, disclosed the iIct that
machine guns, brought home from the
front, were mounted on all the roads
leading into many villages and travel
ers approached them at their peril.

GOOD RESULTING FROM WAR

ALREADY the people are awakening

army camps have taken a hint OF
what 1t really means to clean up a

hiding place and liquor has become
curiosity. Military inspectors are

the proprietor: DO this or DO that

Nine. PaQuin, the world-famous

M. PaQuin started life as a bank
clerk. Madame was a saleswoman in
a big Paris dressmaking house when
they married. She induced him to
leave the bank and open a small cos
tuners shop known as the Maison Lee
lame. That shop has long ceased to
exist, but from 1t sprang the huge
business house of Paquin, which the
founder eventually sold to a company
with a capital Of S2,500,O00.

Larkin at luncheon last Friday.
The Knights of Columbus are con-
templating the building OF gym
nasium for the amusement and recre-

Naval Station. And Father Kavanaugh,
Mr.. Gutrie and Father Petit were in
consultation for hours discussing
plans, etc, for the proposed gym
nasium.
This new building will be equipped
with all the latest facilities for sports
--handball, indoor baseball bowling.
shower baths, etc. As New orleans
has gone over the top in the recent
drive for the United War Work, the
Knights of Columbus are anxious TO
show TO the people of this part of the
country what they are doing with
the funds collected.
The idea of a gymnasium at the Al.
giers Naval Station is a product OF
Father Petit's brain. He is In love
with his work among the sailors and
is always thinking out schemes where
by the Knights Of Columbus may
bring comfort and amusements there.
Father Petit knows from his own ex-
perience that nothing makes a strong
er appeal to young men than sports,
and he will leave no stone unturned
TO bring to realization the plans he
has long brooded over and matured.
When the gymnasium is completed
