Camp Meeting Old Idea.

Camp meetings, gatherings of devout
persons, held usually In thinly popu-
lated districts and continued for sew
eral days ut a TINE, with the view Of
securing prolonged AID uninterrupted
religious exercises, and assemblies Of
q like kind, have been more or less
usual at various periods In the history
of the Christian church. The intrOduc-
ton Of the protractcd camp meetings
into England in 1899 by Lorenzo Dow
led to the separation Of the Primitive
MethOdists from the Wesleyans. Camp
meetings are especially associated with
Methodism In America, where they
originated about 1899 among Presby-
terians and Baptists, but afterwards
became almost wholly Methodist. The
date Of the first camp meeting In
America is given in DR.. Bacon's "His-
tory of American Christianity" as In
July, 1900, In Logan county, Kentucky.

professor OF Egyptology and oriental
history. University OF Chicago.
Doctor Breasted said that this all
happened about the time Of the stone
age. Egypt was then one huge lake,
but 1t gradually drained out into the
Mediterranean, leaving the Nile val
ley. Here the hunters were afforded
every natural resource and founded a
civilization which outstripped Europe.
1t was about 1000 or 5000 B. G. that
Egypt had a stable government o n
trolling millions Of souls.
The grain Of Egypt was 1000 years
older than any found in Asia, says
Doctor Breasted, and cattle undoubt-
edly had their origin In Africa. The
Stone g founders Of Egypt early de-
veloped from hunters to farmers and
used the oldest metal instruments

churches of the country.
Mr.. Bruce has been named Financial
Director Of the Interchurch campaign

guidance.
From April 25 to May 2 is the period
set for this financial effort. Funds

in keeping with the plan of the World
movement, which is to leave each reli.

Mr.. Bruce explains.
1t Is left to each denomination to
decide how far 1t wishes to participate
in the financial campaign. Any demo
mination that has obtained all the
money 1t will need for the next five
years. is at liberty to enter on all other
phases of the I~nterchurch movement.

HOW CANARIES ARE TRAINED
French Expert Explains His Method
of Teaching the Birds to Pro-
duce Sweet Notes.

Parisians are so passionately fond
Of %canaries that 1t is estimated there
are 100, 1000 Of these birds In the
City of Light. Writing In the Wide
World magazine, Henri Gaillard, the
famous French canary trainer, gives
some interesting particulars regarding
his method of teaching his pets to
sing.
"The musical training of my pupils"
he says. "is conducted with the aid of
a bird whistle or a iageolet. A fort
night after the young bird has learned
TO feed itself II Is put into a solitary
cage. where. II 1t is a male, II soon

French Fighter Scheduled
to Meet Phladelphian
at Biltn,ore T0-night

Georges Carpenter, champion of
Europe, is billed to box his first bout
in the United States at the Biltmore
tonight. His opponent will be Major
A. }. Drexel Biddlc. the white hope of
Philadelphia. chairman Of the army.
navy and civilian board of control and
president of the International Sport
ing Club of New York.
Overtures for the bout have been
started, and it is highly probable that
Joe Humphries may be called upon to
make an announcement to this effect:
"In this corner we have Georges Car
pentier, champion of France and log
ical contender for the worlds heavy
weight championship. In the other
corner we have Major A. j. Drexel
Biddle, champion of Philadelphia"
Major Biddle used to be an amateur
heavyweight of no mean ability, and
at one time held his own with Phila-
delphia Jack O'Brien when that gladia-
tor was in his prime. The amateur
hope of Philadelphia has been keeping
fit. having served with the United
States marines during the World War.
Consequently, it may be that Battling"
Biddlc may be able to make the French
champion step some for a few rounds.

Treasury in position to continue it's

months ago.
Collections for the first period of
1913 were approximately $1,000, ,OOO, 900,
the reduction this year being due to
the lowering Of the normal income tax

From The Tribuncs Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, March 24.-Ratifica-

with single reservation reserving the
decision of the United States on the
league of nations covenant until after
the Presidential election, has been sug-
gested to President Wilson by Demo
cratic Senators as basis on which he
may resubmit the treaty to the Senate
The treaty could be ratified in that
manner. Democratic Senators said to-
day. They declared the plan presents
the only method that has occurred to
them Of finding 4 way out Of the treaty
difficulties without keeping the United
States in state of war with Germany
until after the election.
Senator Knox, OF Pennnsylvania. an
"irreconcilable" opponent cf the treaty,
introduced resolution in the Senate
last August providing for ratification
of all the treaty except the league of
nations covenant and reservlns that
portion of the treaty until after the
election. No action was taken on that
resolution.
"Peace cannot be established except
through the negotiation of a treaty."
said Senator Underwood, of Alabama.
adoption Of a resolution declaring
that peace exists might return the
United States to peace conditions, but
it would not make peace between the
United States and Germany. The Pres
ident, in my judgment, would not sign
such resolution, and Congress could
not consttutionally act for peace by
itself.
81 believe that a resolution ratifying
the treaty with one reservation, that is,
reserving the whole league of nations
covenant for approval or rejection un-
til after the election would pass the
Senate. am convinced that if the
President should resubmit the treaty,
the Senate would ratify it in that man

and the President would take the

BERLIN, March 24.--Thc problem Of
pacifying Germany seems less easv Of
solution to-day. There has been much
hard fighting in Halle and Gotha
fomeranla is overrun bv bands of
robbers, who are looting the great cs-
tates and seizing food supplies of the
peasants.
The situation on the lower Rhine
also is less favorable A "Red" army
is in control there. under the command

aviator. The conscription Of men over
twenty has been introduced, but regu-
lar work is being maintained behind
The lines, and shipments of coal to
France are being made regularly un-
der the governments contract.
Some of the general staff officers
have been approached by the insureent
authorities with offers of positions, but
these seem to have been rejected. The
whole region, however, which contains
one of the densest populations of
Europe, is threatened with famine. In
one place weeks rations consisted of
loaf of bread The insurgent chiefs
applied to Holland for food and met
with fiat refusal on the part Of the
Dutch government to have anything to
do with them.
Germany applied to the French army
of occupation for permission to move
troops across the occupied zone so that
position for operating against the
"Reds" could be obtained. The French.
however, imposed conditions that were
deemed impossible Of fulfillment. The
military authorities here say that the
government has in all Northern Ger
many, outside of Berlin, only 1900
troops available for service against the
insurgents. The workers served notice
on the Ebert ministry that they would
tear up the railroad tracks if the
government attempted to move troops
westward.
The Independent Socialists here are
not entirely without hope; they pro-
fess to believe that the whole insur
rection can be surmountcd through
negotiations and explanations. They
arc disposed to send representative 5
to Western Germany to undertake the
task OF conciliation. The list of per-
sons to be prosecuted grows with each
