Chinese Salvation Army.

A new element has been added to
the night life of Picking and Tien-tSin,
strange and yet familiar to occasional
sightseers from western countries
The "Chiou Shih Chun," or "SaNe-
World Army" is conducting its open
air meetings on the street corners of
the Chinese cities, and the spectacle
reproduces in China scene that was
equally strange in the great cities of
England and America when the Saliva
ton army first came into existence.
For "Chlou Shih Chun" is Chinese for
salvation army" In a land where the
language has no exact verbal equlva-
lent for salvation" and must do its
best by the combination "save-world."
Less than three years ago the Saliva
ton army made its start in China,
and a party of forty officers from the
West tackled the job of mastering
enough of the language TO begin oper-
atlons. At present there are five corps
of the "Chlou Shih Chun" in Picking.
two corps I'm Tien-tsin. and fourteen
scattered throughout the country as
far north as the border of Mongolia
In organization the "Chlou Shin Chun"
is Identical with the Salvation army
elsewhere and the Chinese salvation
soldier lives under the same rules Of
discipline. Christian Science Monitor.

Niuht FIy Fishlnu,

The question as to whether or not
trout will rise TO flies by moonlight is
one that has long been discussed In
the Adirondacks. A number of Adj
rondack guides have insisted that they
have taken good catches of trout by
moonlight fly fishing Others Of the
woods brethren, however, have merely
smiled when one speaks Of sharing the
speckled ones under the light of the
June moon.
Some fishermen claim TO have taken
them that way, while others say II is
merely fish story. Apparently about
the only way one can prove it TO his
own satisfaction is to 90 some moon

trout are and try It for themselves

WoMAN'S RIGHT TO PROPOSE
British Girl Claims That Conditions
Following War Have Made Old
Ideas Look Foolish.
Among the last rights of women to

Among the last rights of women to
be fought Is the right to propose.
1t is the inevitable consequence Of
the vote and Of the war. The position
OF woman with regard to marriage has
| entirely changed, and the sooner 1t Is
recognized the better Up till now
nice women have properly not pro-
posed, because 1t meant virtually:
"Will you keep meY
Now that a woman can be as indie.
pendent as a man she need have no
scruples on that score. "a Girl From
the War writes in the continental
| edition of the London Mail.
In every other direction the position
Of men and women, with regard to
marriage, is equal 1t is quite ridlcu-
lous that 1t should be an honorable
thing in man to love woman who
| does not return his affection, and yet
be a disgrace TO a woman To love I'M
asked. A proposal from the man clears
the air, and it would be the same with
one from the woman.
In the present condition of things
woman often wastes the best years of
better if she could say in the begin
ming: 81 like you, and If you like me
as much as l like you let us spend our
| lives together" 1t would be quite sim
pie for the man to reply, if he were
of n different mind: 81 am sorry. OF
course, like you, but do not feel like
! going into partnership"
! The woman would then put him our
| OF her mind and go about her business.
| Broken hearts heal in time, and it is
possible that hearts would never get
beyond the wounded stage If this plan
were adopted.
There is u serious reason why 1t
should be adopted. Some badly wound
ed men are feeling much as If they had
changed places with the women. They
do not have to say, "Will you keep
me7" when they propose, but what to
them is almost as bad "Will you keep
yOurself?"
It would be great relief to many
crippled man in love If proposals
were taken out of mems hands.
In the present circumstances no nice
girl could bring herself to propose,
however willing she is to keep herself,
however much she loves the man.
There is no need to fear that the
new right would give added license to
the other kind Of girl, She proposes
now, although not in SO many words.

"And the Goose Hangs HIGH. 4"

The most popular explanation of the
origin of the expression. Everything
is lovely and the goose hangs high. Is
this. That II comes from the southern
country amusement known as goose

plucked and well creased. was hung
by It's feet to branch of a tree. The
men would ride past mt a gallop, trying
to catch It by the neck and pun Its
head of The better the goose was In
lodging the greater the fun. When the
goose hung high, so that the competi.
tors had to stand In their stlrrups to

other suggested origin is that II refers

DEMAND FOR ACTION
Senator Hitchcock Issues State
ment on PaCt'S Status.
Says Peace Treaty Has Been in Cold
Storage Since July 1o-Country
Impatient

Washington, Aug. Ex-senator
Hitchcock, leader of the supporters of
the treaty with Germany in the senate
committee on foreign relations has is
sued the following statement through
the League to Enforce Peace:
"The treaty ratification situation
| changed somewhat during the past
week A new issue was raised when
| asked the chairman Of the foreign
| relations committee and majority
members when they proposed to get
| action.
Il took this course after consulting
with a number of senators. There has
been a growing demand for action by
the committee. II has had the treaty
since July 10. For five weeks, there
fore the treaty has been in cold stor-
age without a vote or any other ac-
ton.
THE senate is waiting. and the coun-
try is waiting. and the Impotence is
increasing. Everyone knows that the
enemies Of the treaty and opponents
| of the League of Nations control the
committee. Everyone also knows that
they do not control the senate. Public
the opponents of the treaty might keep
it locked up in the committee, and
this greatly delays ratification.
when | raised the issue in the com
! ) Al
Republican members were opposed to
! further delay and so an understanding
was reached for voting. Since then sew
eral days of additional delay have in
| tervened, but we hope to begin voting
in committee this week ON proposed
! amendments. We ought to get the
treaty reported back to the senate in Il
week or ten days. 1t is of little impor-
lance what the committee does as long
as it does something, If 1t recommends
amendments the senate will reject
them; if 1t initiates the treaty the
senate will cure the damage done. The
chief harm that the committee can do
is in causing delay.
Everyone now realizes that we are
still suffering from war and that the
first step toward relief is to ratify the
peace treaty. The presidents address
served to arouse the country TO the
importance of treaty ratification as
one Of the steps necessary to reduce
the cost of living. 1t has very proper
ly connected the high cost of living
with the war. He has shown that we
cannot get rid of war conditions and
war evils until peace comes, with its
normal conditions. He has shown that
the first step that must be taken is the
ratification of the treaty. In pointing
this out and in taking the leadership in
movement to reduce the cost of liv-
ing the president has brought the
treaty much nearer TO vote
