Many a girl wanders into a mission

natural feet.

Christian Association could offer to

tablish a normal school for the train
ing Of physical directors.
Accordingly, in Shanghai, which is
the greatest port in China, the nation.
al committee established such a school
in 1914. The school has won favor
with all educationists, both missionary

been nine graduates from this school.
Miss Wing Mel Chun, a graduate of

cation, has been dean of the school.
Graduates of the school are scattered

PREDICTS NEW WAR.

Winnipeg, Man,, NOV. 3O.-Speak-
ing at the National theater, Rev. w. E.
Christmas stated that the war with
Germany was but preliminary to the
final great struggle, which. he claim
ed, would be commenced about the
year 1928. It would be a war in
which Great Britain, her dominions
and the United States, these nations
representing Israel, Britain being
Ephraim and the United States Nam
asseh, would be lined up agains. such
countries as Russia, Germany and
Turkey. 1t would be a more terrible
conflict, said Mr.. Christmas, than the
l~recent war, but it would be won by
Israel though not by the power of
her w arms but by the help of
God. Mr.. Christmas pointed to Bible
prophecy in support of his state

C0NSCRIPTION
OF LAB0R,lN
GERMANY, PLAN.
Law Being Proposed Would
Affect Practically Every
Person.

Berlin, Nov. demonstration Of la-
Dor to increase production in Ger
many, a law which is being drafted
would apply to girls and women as
well as men and boys, all Fof whoml
would be compelled to renderfa year
o1~fEservice In mines, factories. or
farms. in hospitals, or wherever the
state directed.
The proposal, credited to Matthias
-lirzberger, former minister Of finance, l
has become the storm center Of a dis
cussicn which has run the scale from
invective and threat to ridicule,,N and
now, with the law nearing compl etion,
It's proponents have made it apparent
they will seek with deadly earnestness
TO force its passage through the reichs-
tag.
On the other hand the opponents of
the measure, including the powerful
socialist faction, have declared they
will oppose the passage with every
means at hand and should they fail
will later seek to vitiate the legisla-
ton.
Herr Er%zberger's plan is to. supple
~succecded in passing with a measure
that would compel increased produc-
ton, result in a consequent increase
IN .scOllectable taxes and SO tend to-
ward helping Germany pay her debts.
The socialists say the measure is a
"capitalistic scheme aimed at the
working classes, who could derive no
benefit at all from compulsory labor.
They further point out that 1t prob
ably could not be generally enforced
and back up this statement with the
argument that many of Erzberger's
present laws have never been enforce
ed, and no attempt has been made to
enforce them.
Affects Every Person.
While the law was intended primar-
lily to affect the wage earners, 1t has,
it is understood, during the rafting
process been extended until it would
apply to virtually every person in
Germany, in one form or another, as
an effort to bring industrial as we'll as
agricultural production to its highest
efficiency. However, the form in
which it eventually may be submitted
may be radically modified owing tc
the intense opposition.
In proposing and supporting the
law, Erzberger is said to have had
principally in view the effect of con.
scr.pted labor in the coal and timber
lands.
The fact that there is now nearly
1,000.00O unemployed persons in Ger
many ana mat many IaCtOrleS%HdVt
been closed is pointed to by labor lead
ers and some legislators as proof tina
such a law is a "chimercial proposal
and@could have no appreciable effect
They also assert it would be expensive
~andswould mean the establishment o
a Colossal government machinery t,
direct it's enforcement! IL
Among prominent parliamentar.
leaders who have come out in opposi
ton to the law are Philip Scheide

lists; George Gothein, economic exper
