phasizing educational activities which
make up the formation Of character
and which tend to promote high
standard Of individual and national
life 95a
It is pointed out that in the past 1t
was difficult to obtain concerted ac-
ton upon. any plan which aimed at
moral education because of the "di-
verse racial and religious elements of
which our people are composed" 1t
was stated that Observation-Disclosures,
mutual distrust, inability to agree
upon content or method, have pre-
vented the cooperation necessary to
effective action"
1t is believed, according 10 the con-
vention announcement" that many
prejudices that formerly ooscured es-
sentials have disappeared as conse-
quence of the war and that the time
is opportune for emphasizing the i'm

 LISH HOSPITABLE TO AMERICANS

London, July s.-(Correspondenc of the Associated Press)-The last of the billion dollars worth of stores purchased by the American army in England will have been disposed of On August 1 in the opinion of Major General J. c. Riddle. The American Army headquarters were closed June 3 and only n small contingent of the quartermaster's department remained to cooperate with the Liquidation Commission in adjusting a few re- maining contracts and selling sup piles. Consequently by August the army will cease to have a war interest in England.
 Immediately the armistice was sieucd we began to cancel and adjust contracts and in this work had such hearty cooperation from the British war office that the United States has been able to clear up its contracts very advantageously," said General Biddle- "Only a few of them remain to be adjusted.

LENS MOST THQROUHLY DEVASTATED TOWN OF THE WAR, STARTS TO REVIVE
LOOS TO THE EAST LOOKS LIKE PETRIFIED SEA
 -3OOOO PEOPLE IN LENS BEFORE WAR
 5000 HAVE RETURNED.

Paris. July s.-Correspondence of The Associated Press). Lens, the most thoroughly devastated town of the war. is showing signs of re- vival. whsn The Associated Press correspondent visited this erstwhile busy coal mining center of the de- pertinent of the Pas de Calais early this year, it still looked as though a sort of giant sledgehammers had pounded the whole place to atoms. To the west lies the grim battlefield of Loos. which has the curious ap- pearance of a petrified sea. The soil has been plowed up in an extraordin- ary manner by thousands of poison ous gas bombs. which have tlnged the sparse vegetation an unhealthy gray.
 Before the war. Lens had 3O.0OO Inhabitants. When the correspondent visited the locality in its state of hopeless desolation. there were only three sturdy optimists left, who led Q cave mems existence among the ruins. Their nearest point to get food was Bully-Grenay. ten miles away. and there was no transporta- ton.

Things have been mending since. Today. about 5000 of the exiled in- habftents have returned. They are housed fin corrugated iron hutments formerly used by the British army. The cleaning up of the place. by Chinese and German prisoner work squads, is taking on more speed. The approaches have been laid bare to cellars and underground shelters which have been occupied by home- less "househunters." Even building of sort is going on: the material used being such odd bits of wood. stone and iron as were still service able in the huge rubbish heap that once was Lens.
 In the Pas de Calais department alone, 150 townships and villages are in the same plight as Lens, or nearly so. The task of making these places fit to live fin again Is a herculean one Labor is available in adequate mum bers, but to lodge and feed the men Is great problem. The latest sug- gestion Is to use covered army motor trucks as temporary shelters for the workers by whose efforts Lens is to arise from Its ashes.

KARELIAN fINNS ADOPT STRANGE
 BATTLE FLAG

Archangel. Juno Is. (Correspon- dence of the Associated Press. )-One of the strangest flags ever design ed was adopted a while ago by a regiment of Karelian Films serving with the Allied forces on the Murlnan railway line near Rem, Russian Lap land.
 The flag, designed. 1t is said, by request of the karelians, who have ambitions to form an independent state, included the national color of the karelians. a bright orange and their national flower, the Karelian clover.
 The result was a startling resem- blance to green shamrocks upon an orange background. The Russian gov ernment caused fhe flag to be hauled down as it did not, al that time, ap- prove Earelian independence.
