DIR. LUCE AT SUMMER SCHOOL.

Newark. july 21 DR.. Henry " Luce.
vice-president of the Peking University,
| China. gave an interesting lecture before
| the Delaware College Summer School last
night on When We Say China" The
speaker has spent many years in edu-
cational work in the Orient and is well
qualified to speak Of conditions IN that
country He viii give another lecture this
evening on The Development of Chinese
Education. DR.. Joseph II Odell, di-
rector of the Service Citizens. introduced
the speaker
DR. Luce astonished his hearers by the
statement that IN the last decade and
half China has made more educational
economical and political progress than any
other nation ever made during the same
length of time He spoke OF the great
economic power of the country, and said
in one province il is estimated there is
enough coal to last the world at the
present rate of consumption 900 years
He told of the overthrow of the Monarch
several years ago, which had lasted for 40
centuries, and although three attempts
have been made since to turn it back to a
Monarch they had all failed. China, he
said. remains a republic and will remain
a republic. Ii is land of villages, the
speaker said. The great majority of the
people live in the villages and go out each
day to cultivate their farms, but return
to the village each night. In some sections
they grow four crops year, and in most
all parts of the great country there are
two crops a year. The Chinese are ex-
perts, he said, on irrigation and there are
200. 900 miles Of canals in the country.
The people Of China, DIR. Luce said, are
reliable and for that reason
have good credit China, he said, is a land

ARCHBISHOP HAYES IS
 AWARDED Ssso, ,7ss CLAIM

New York, Nov. LA referees report nled today in surrogate's court recom- mended that the claim of Archbishop Hayes for $369,762 against the estate of the Rev. John H. Strzelecki. pastor of a Polish Roman Catholic church here, be allowed in full with interest After the priest died letters of administration were granted to his brother, Julian F. Strzelecki, whose statement declared the priest left only s65O00 personal property. An examination of the church's books by accountants resulted in a suit by the church through Archbishop Hayes to re- cover $369,762.
 The referee has been taking testimony ] for six months. The priest received $500 year as assistant pastor and $500 when ebecame pastor. Later. his salary was increased to S900. The day after the priest died his brother. according to the referees report took from a safe in the rectory bonds and securities of the tota- | of $162,0O0 besides two bank books showing deposits for large sums
 No satisfactory explanation has beer made by the administrator of the dispo
 sition of these funds and securities" said the referee in his report While the deac priest was in charge of the church it was shown that tile largest yearly col
 lection of pew rent was $4 100 while dur. ing the first six months in 1919 his sue cessor reported pew rent of S100OO. AT
 analysis of ledger eor the period 1911 to 1916 indicates, it was said, that rent. of $16,000 never were credited to tn, church.

 SWe will hold the two democrats from Utah." he added.
 Referring to the election prediction of last Sunday by Chairman Fess of the republican congressional committee, MT. Flood said this was the most glaring' of many striking examples of republi- can misrepresentation and misstate- ment."
 He says the republican gain of twen- from gains of one member each in chigan and Nebraska" Mir. Flood said. | MT. Fess apparently does not know there are now four republican members of the house from Maine. Where would he make gain of one member from that state as he predicts? 1 Evidently he is ignorant of the fact | that there are now six republican mem bers of the house from Nebraska. How could he gain one there as he asserts? | Continuing his wild claim, MT. Fess says the republicans will gain two mem bers each from California, Kansas and Ohio, and three members each iron Pennsylvania New Jersey and New
 York. If the republican chairman hat cared to inform himself before he made this ridiculous statement, he would dis
 cover that the Kansas delegation now consists of seven republicans and bu one democrat. Where does the eminen doctor figure he will gain two memberi of the house in this delegation?"
