BRITISH PASTORS
FILL U.S.PULP|TS
English and American Min
listers Exchange Jobs
For Summer.

London, July THE British and
American Interchange Commission.
formed, with the approval of the
American, and British governments, to
make arrangements for the exchange
of preachers. has already made pro-
vision for the visit of several Amer
ican preachers to occupy pulpits on
this side of the Atlantic Several
churches in America have decided to
place their pulpits at the disposal OF
British ministers when suitable ar
rangements for the exchange can be
made.
The American ministers due in Eng
land this summer are: Rev. Henry
Atkinson. of New York (secretary OF
the Interchange Commission); Prof.
Lynn Harold Hough, of Northwestern
University; Rev. J. A Gordon. OF
Rockford. Ill; DR.. Frederick Lynch,
OF New York; Rev Cushman McGif-
fert, late of Harvard University; DR..
Paradise (Episcopalian. OF Boston;
Rev. E. Thurston Chase, Of Lynn,

1htoNtl. mass anu rev. >. DcNcf-
idge Lee. Of the Congregational
Church, New London, Conn.
In America the Montclair Presby-
terian Church is to be supplied by
Rev. Adam w. Ferguson, Of Dundee
(Church OF Scotland. Other churches
with open pulpits include Bryn Mawr
PRESBYTERIAN Church. Haverford
Philadelphia; Second Congregational
Church. Rockford. Ill. and the First

It is hoped that men able to represent
in America the Christian thought and
sentiment Of England will supply these
pulpits.
It is urged that every church which
invites an American minister to this
country for a period OF service is
strengthening the invisible ties which
bind the two nations together.

SEE JAP-BRITISH
RULE OF WORLD
Germans Believe France
Has Been Pushed Out
In the Cold.

London.-France may have gained a
final victory in her struggle, 1000 years
long. with Germany. but she has in
volved herself in the common ruin OF
Europe, leaving the large world to be
ruled by England, America and Japan.
This is the melancholy pcture offered
for the consideration Of France by
Maj. Paul Stotten in the Vossiche
Zeitung.
Every condition Of the peace terms
has been coldly framed with the OBJ
ject OF disarming Germany and of
making It impossible for her ever to
lift her head again.
Germany can be only a spectator Of
the future history Of the world.
Should she try to emerge for a mo-
ment, "a rattle Of the French saber,
a single frown on the stern forehead
Of the league Of nations" and back
she would have to creep TO her OBJ
security. But France, says this dismal
major, although the undisputed ruler
Of Europe, will be lord OF a derelict
continent The peace has closed the
chapter Of Europe in history.
The land that has been so long the
desolate as Mesopotamia or Persia
and the population, decadent and
hopeless, may perhaps remember its
glorious past in song, but will no
longer have power in the present, or
an aim for the future. England,
America and Japan will make the
history OF the world.
War on land has had its day, and
issues formerly settled on the battle
fields Of Europe will be decided on
the high seas, while among the ruins
Of past glory the hyena France mum
bles the bones OF dead Germany. The
fleets will be mightier than man has
yet dreamed OF, and the three great
sea powers, each unassaila5le in her
own territory, will contemporary
leave armies to Europe as a mere
sport for children.

Shoe prices will be higher than al

There is every prospect. as we

that shoes Viii he still higher in
price" said Colonel Friedsam This
is quite natural and results from a
combination Of uncomfortable cir
cumstances Retail shoe dealers are
selling shoes today at prices below re
placement cost, and the retail clothing
dealer has not even made a normal
profit
THE paramount question, in my
opinion. during the coming season
will not be one OF price, but rather the
difficulty OF obtaining sufficient cloth
ing and shoes for the public Our
greatest effort should be dedicated to
the purpose of holding prices where
they are al present. for fear that con-
ditions tend toward a natural ad-
vance"
Colonel Friedsam reviewed the vari-
Gus factors entering into present un-
stable conditions. He declared his
committee had not found any evidence

that a spirit of general extravaganza
seems to pervade the buying public

solved by combination of work and
thrift"
