Apparently there is plenty of money
in the country, some of ii having come
from Austrian and Gcrmen soldiers,

for most of the articles they took from

VIENNA, Feb. II ASSOCIATED
Press) Bankers here fear financial
panic throughout the former empire be-
cause of the recent efforts of the new
republics to discard the old paper kron
en- of the empire by stamping them so
|. that in effect they become new money.
At the present time there are about 3d.
000,O00,000 kronen of this old paper
money in circulation while the new
Austrian state has only about 10000
600 kronen in circulation.
The question has an international
phase, since much of the old money is
held in the Ukraine, the Russian PROV
inees, Galicia, Poland, and in French,
English and Swiss banks. If the money
held abroad is not stamped it has no
circulating value in any of the new re-
pubHcs

chairman of the executive committee
Realizing that no adequate program
of cooperation could be worked out
until all the facts were known, the
movement has already begun its sur
veys. The foreign survey was put
under the general care Of Ralph A.
Ward, authority on China. The home
survey was put in charge Of r. z.
Diffendorfer, who did similar work
for the Methodist Centenary. The
home surveys may be divided roughly
into two parts, rural surveys, city
surveys. The rural surveys are un-
der the direction of DR.. Edmund de
is. Drummer, Of the Aoravian church,
Ia leader in rural matters, and Her
mann N. Morse of the Presbyterian
Board of Home Missions. City sur-
veys are under the direction Of w. p.
Shriver, Henry p. Schauffler, William
H. Patterson and Walter Laidlaw.
In addition there surveys of special
problems, such as the immigrant
question, the foreign language colony,
work among negroes, work among is
olated people, such as those of the
mountain countries, etc. For conven-
fence, the United States has been di-
vided into ten geographical groups,
each with a regional director. For
each state council, consisting of one
clergyman and one layman from each
denomination, and representatives
of all the other interests involved is
formed. This council sits in an adj
visory capacity for the county coun-
ellis. The county body is really the
basic unit of the whole Organization.
After the county councils have COM
pleted their work and forwarded the
results to the state council, that body
will make up complete report and
analysis for the entire state. This is
forwarded to the National organiza-
ton for final analysis, after which, it
will be possible to get at the salient
points of information for any locality
in the United States that may be de-
sired and, at the same time, to study
the general phenomena of particular
groups and environments. The Inter
church movement is the first organ
ization to undertake such a task on
such large scale. The above article
is published at the request of Rev.
Percy Nickless, pastor of the Presby-
terrain church of Paw Paw.

A general survey of the religious
conditions and needs OF this county,
as part Of the worldwide surveys be-
ing made by the lnter-church World
Movement of North America, will be
made as soon as the organization of
a county council and other prelimin-
airy steps now under way have been
completed. Every Evangelical dem
onination has been invited to cooper
ate in the work. The survey is to be
made by competent investigators who
are satisfactory to all the churches.
The object is to obtain an impartial
and complete summary of all the
facts relating to the condition of
every church in the county as to its
finances, it's membership, whether
growing, stationary or declining,
whether it has {. resident pastor,
what families are included in its min
istry, how often its people are visit
ed by pastors, what families in the
county are without pastoral over
sight, etc. The surveyors are also
expected to report upon church
groupings, upon conflicts in parish
boundaries, upon areas without
Christian influences, upon community
centers or social buildings, such as
lodges and oranges, anil upon any
other matters that will throw light
on the problems Of the churches in
this county. The county council will
be expected to assemble This infor-
nation. 1t will then be sent on for

! tabulation to the state council, but
! in the meantime, the facts will be
laid before all the leaders in all the
denominations of the courty who will
be invited to attend conferences
where local programs to fit the ascer-
tained facts will be worked out by
common agreement. What is being
done in this county is being repeated
in every one of the 1000 rural coun-
ties Of the United States. 1. Similar
strdies Of religious conditions abroad
are being made through the mission
aries in the felo, through government
tai forces, through private agencies
end through the headquarters of the
great American missionary societies.
In the course Of time the Irterchurch
World Movement expects TO have on
file u nap of every county in the
United States which WI show every
railroad, trolley line, reed. village,
hamlet, church, lodge school and
where every isolated fam house
stands in relation to some church or
other religious center. The Inter
church World Movement is a Coop
erative effort of the missionary
boards, church extension societies,
and similar benevolent agencies of
all the Evangelical churches to work
out a unified Christian program. 1t
is not movement for organic church
union. On the contrary, it expects
7 II. i 70
serve it's own identity and work with
it's own money through its own ma
chinery. The idea is to make sys-
tematic and complete study of every
thing that is to be done and to have
all the constituent bodies get togeth-
er and agree upon which part of the
work each is to undertake. The move
ment originated last fall with certain
members of the Foreign Missionary
board of the Presbyterian church,
south. Acting upon suggestion of
these men, 1875 representatives of
various missionary societies of many
denominations met in New York
City in December. This conference
decided that something of the kind
could be done and appointed COM
mittee of 20 leaders in various
churches to work out a plan. The
committee of 20 worked out system
of cooperation it thought would be
satisfactory. To consider it, gener-
al conference was called at Cleveland
Ohio, in May. This conference was
attended by 500 delegates represen-
ting 200 different religious agencies.
1t amplified and approved the plan
and, from that movement, the Inter-
church World Movement was an &C
complished fact. The general COM
mittee includes such we'll known lead
ers as, Stephen Baker, Fred B. Smith
James M. Speares, Warren S. Stone,
F. p. Haggard, Raymond Robbins,
and John Willis Blair. S. Earl Tay-

odist Centenary organization, is gen.
eral secretary. John r. Motto, inter-

SCOTT SPLIT SQUAD INTO FOUR GROUPS IO'Connor Has Returned and Reported for Practice.
 New Formation
By GEORGE H. WATSON

University, Ala, September 12.-CSpe- cial )-After about two weeks of foot ball practice a Alabama. Coach Scott got down to brass tacks the last of the week and divided his men into four teams The teams will be numbered from one to four, and a player shows special merit he will be promoted from one team to the other. In addition, Coach Scott has inaugurated the black board system, and few evenings this week has given the players some theo- retical instruction along with their practice.

He is a backfield man, but he will have to work hard to oust such men as Lenoir, Emmett, Hovater, Morgan and Moore, who have been on the scene for couple Of weeks. Levy, star of the Central high school of Birmingham, entered college the last of the week.

 Contrary to former customs, Coach Scott uses no quarterback to pass the ball. Instead, the four men in the backfield hold exactly the same posi- tions. The center passes the ball di- rect to the man who is to carry 1t. Coach Scott states that the day of the quarterback as a middleman to receive and pass the ball is past. In his opinion it only makes for loss of time with no advantages. One man in the back field is designated of course to call the signals.
 Much interest Is being taken in the practice by the student body as whole and each day the side lines are lined with interested spectators. Each af- ternoon on the quadrange few min utes are given to the practice of popu- lar Alabama yells.

 He'd spend hours massaging his arm, then rub it with crude oil and wrap it in cotton batting. But even that didn't help much. and to get out the kinks he would go out to the ball park hours before the game take a position in the outfield and make long throws to the plate. He would work his way in grad ually, finally stopping at the pitchers box.

 But not one of those men has starred since. James had to quit the game because his arm went dead. Tyler has pitched only so-so baseball in the years since then and Rudolph never has been the brilliant twirler that he was in 1914.
 Ed Walsh was the "iron man. of the American league. He had an arm oat seemed, unlimited in it's endurance. But years Sago, when the Sox were in a thrilling fight and had few dependable pitchers, Walsh offered himself upon the altar of duty.
