WHOLE WORLD IS Hit
High Cost Of Living Is Felt
Around Globe.
England Has Experienced Increase
In Prices as High az
1886 Per Cent,

Washington.-That the whole worl6
is struggling with the increased cos,
of living is indicated in reports to the
state department. The increases IT.
Europe are particularly high, although
in Latin-America the governments are
anxious over the situation and are try
ing to find means of combating the
difficulties presented by the high
prices of commodities deemed essen
tial.
In Portugal the government, in an
attempt to lower the cost of living,
has placed, through the minister of
finance, part of it's gold reserves in
the banks of Lisbon.
In England the cost Of living above
.pre-war level is figured at lis per cent
for September and 12O per cent for
October, as to actual necessities of.
life and based upon average living
conditions Of wage-earners. A more
distinct rise has occurred in the cost
of commodities so far as the other
elements Of population in England are
concerned, being unofficially estimated
by some at approximately 1875 per
cent with a steady upward trend.
In Sweden figures furnished by the
Swedish government indicate that the
cost Of living has increased 157 per
cent over the cost in June, 1914. In
the cities the increase has been very
much greater than the average for the
country.
TIL Argentine government has sug-
gested to other South American coun-
tries and discussed with them an in
ternational arrangement with a view
to doing away with import duties on
manufactured food products as one
means Of cutting down the high cost Of
living.

 RETURNS TO PULPIT

Rev. John McNeill, pastor. who has returned to the city after an absence of two weeks, delivered both sermons at the South Highland Presbyterian church yesterday.
 At the morning services pr. McNep took his text from Joshua, speaking of the strict division ofsthe people then and comparing it with the situation today.
 'On the one side was Israel, on the other was Jericho" said pr! McNeill. But how different it is today. All kinds of people are found together. He indicat- ed that a person must be either on the side of Israel or that of Jericho. He told how the spies from Jericho went to Israel and there saw the thickness of the walls and the strength of the men and report ed 1t back to their leaders. who decided not to make war He pointed out that the Church shoudl thus protect itself so that the forces operating against it vii! look and leave it alone, seeing in it a tower of strength
 Dr, McNeill stated that it always Is a revival that gives new strength and fosters accomplishments that are worth while. And this applies in the church, in business, in society and in everything else,' he said "Would you insure the safety and strength of your organiza- ton? Then place Christ in the center and it cannot fail. He will act as the Ark"
