Billion Invested in
Farm Mortgage Loans

New York, Dec. 6.-Information
showing that more than 1000, ,0O0,-
900 of life insurance company assets
are now invested in farm mortgage
loans and that an increasingly
large proportion of policy-holders'
funds is being invested in further
ing agriculture in this way was pre-
sented to the Association of Life
Insurance Presidents here today by
Louis BreiHng, Treasurer of the
Union Central Life Insurance Society
of Cincinnati. Such investment he
argued, will be leading and posi-
tive factor in the pending agricul-
tural readjustment from war to
peace conditions
Central Atlantic, Southwestern
and Northwestern states are, said
Mr.. Breiling, the favorite fields for
investment of life insurance funds
in farm loans. The principal COM
panies had placed $S56,245,000 in
farm mortgages in these sections.

Dearth of Christmas
Toys in Mexico

Mexico City, Dec. 6.-The approach
of Christmas finds a dearth of toys
in Mexico with no apparent means
for greatly increasing the supply. In
former years Germany has provided
unlimited number of grimcracks
which found ready sale here, but this
source of supply was closed by the
war. Other countries have been slow
in entering this field of industrial ac-
tivity. United States manufacturers
have shown intentions of putting
their toys on the market here, but
the goods has not arrived in appre-
ciable amounts.
The buyers of toys in Mexico have
special liking for novelty design,
such as dolls that dance when a
string is pulled. They prefer what is
known to the trade as the "active
toy"

Pays High Tribute to
Late Col. Roosevelt on
Receiving Medallions

Rio De Janeiro, Dec. 5.--General
Candido Rondon, famous Brazilian
explorer and companion of Theodore
Roosevelt when he explored the
"River of Doubt" paid high tribute
to Colonel Roosevelt the other
night, when before a distinguished
audience in the Municipal Theater
the General was presented with me-
dallions from the New York Geolog
ical Society, the Explorers Club of
New York and the Rio de Janeiro
Geographical Society.
AT this moment when l am so

image of my virile and dear friend
Roosevelt is with me. l see before
me the massive structure of his fine
body, his radiant jovialitY his keen
and intelligent eye"
The General recalled the times
he had spent with Colonel Roosevelt
on various expeditions. especially in
the exploration of the River of
Doubt. The Colonel, he said, was al
ways first on the march. He re-
ferred to Colonel Roosevelt's travels
and explorations in South America

barren; Mount Calvary blossoms
with flowers.
Panicky persons are crying for
more law, more force, more jails,
more machine guns, with which to
meet the menace of red radicalism.
Their plan is futile. Only new
spirit in society and in all classes
of society, can save us from this
hate-begetting program of violence.
That is the spirit of the Cross. OF
course we should deal vigorously
with lawbreakers, all lawbreakers,
regardless of class; but even when
so doing the motive needs to be the
m otiVe of Calvary, which is to save.
Love to the point of self-sacrifice
alone can deliver the world from the
menace of bitterness and selfishness
and Nindictiveness and class-spirit.
The Unchastcned Nations
Real radicalism is, in a dictionary
sense, the getting down to the root
of things. The superficial thing of
the Bolsheviki is not genuine radi-
caliSm; it is the most obvious and
shallow sort of unrestrained self
interest. If the thinking people of
to-day would really turn radical
they would quickly perceive that az
the root of 4 successful social order,
even as it was put at the foundation
OF our constitutional democracy,
there must be the spirit of good will
to men, and of the subordination OF
the desires of the individual for the
sake of the community. True radi-
calism digs deep until it comes to
the cross foundation.
Apply that test to the times. The
common cry is that the world needs
10 be reformed. Assuredly. And to
be remade. Yes. And to be relied
Doubtless. And to be reorganized.
Admittedly. And to be re-educated.
Without question. But beyond all
these needs, and underlying them ev-
cry one, is the all-pervading need
that the world be saved-saVed from
itself and its old self-centered ma
ture, which the prea chers call sin:
saved from foolish leaders and fatu-
GUS reformers; saved from theorists
and demagogs; saved from needless
followers of everything that is new,
and saved from the blind obscurant-
ism which clings only to what used
to be.
War has not chastened humanity;
sorrow has not chastened it, nor vet
hunger or cold or vast social up-
heaVals. Is it not time that we turn
aside from our cheap and futile de-
vices for bettering life and kneel at
the foot of the Cross, where peace
has ever been found by the peni-
tent? We have failed to save our
selves; why not let >the Christ save
us? His yearning for the worlds
betterment is more real than that of
the most solicitous publicist If we
could but hear, He still is crying
from His Cross, Come unto Me, all
ye that labor and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest"
The Master Word
The master word for our troubled
to-day is the Masters word. In

Food Spectators
Rounded Up in CobIenz

Coblenz, Dec. 5.--American in
telligence officers in the occupied
area recently started u campaign
against German food spectators
who were held responsible for the
high prices of food in Coblenz and
vicinity. The first day of the
round up" twenty profiteers were
deported TO unoccupied Germany,
with instructions not to return.
AS an example of the nature of
the dealings carried on by the spec
ulators, or 'Schiebers," they are
called in German, an incident is
cited by the Americans of a carload
fstarch shipped into CoblenZ. 1t
cost the original purchaser 10000
marks. The car remained untouched
in the railroad yards while it was
sold from one man to another, each
time at an increase in price, until
the carload. was finally disposed of
for 10000 marks, just double what
the first purchaser paid.

Americas most famous business

Crucified Christ, this great merchant
not only approved it publicly, but
later spoke to me privately of the
significance of the testimony. In the
famous old church with which his
name is associated he has seen the
miracle wrought times beyond num-
bcr, of men and women whose lives
were made clean by the blood OF
Christ.
Musing upon the theme. memory
harks swiftly back to France and to
Macedonia and to Palestine, where
lows upon rows, acres upon acres
of little crosses mark the resting
place of the soldier dead. This has
been the war of the cross. By some
impulse deeper than reason, the ma
tions have chosen the cross symbol
for the fallen-Protestant England,
once-atheistic France. Catholic Italy,
orthodox Serbia, Romania and
Greece. All accept the cross as the
significant memorial of the men who
have laid down their lives for the
Cause. InstinctiVely, we have placed
them in fellowship with the Saviour
who has given the cross its mean
ing of victory and of vicariousness.
Crosses At Mount Sinai
Is it not becoming clear that only
the Cross will save our troubled
time? We have tried legislation and
arbitration and war and Il council
of nations: yet still the unrest of
humanity grows apace. All that wis
dom and law could do has been
done; but in vain. There is llnowl-
edge enough in the world to save
civilization: and daw enough; and
material force enough; nevertheless
organized society is in n desperate
case to-day.
am reminded of n spectacle
which l observed at Mt. Sinai last
summer. Surmounting the Mountain
of the Law. and all the surround
ing peaks, are iron crosses, erected
centuries ago by devout Greek
monks from st. Katherines Mon
astery. AT pains and personal risk
they placed the symbol of our faith
upon those rocky peaks: sensing
the great truth that the Mountain Of
the Law, without the sign of Love
and Sacrifice, is incomplete. Moses
is inadequate. except as he leads to
Christ. Mount Sinai is bare and

MANY of the Jews read this no

notice was in three languages--He-
brew, Latin and Greek. This led the
Jewish High Priests to demonstrate
with PLATE.
