Music IN Church.

For almost thousand years Gre
gorian chant, without any instrumental
or harmonic addition, was the only mu-

OF the church. The organ In its print

strument to be introduced into church,
and for long time was the sole In
strument to accompany the chant.

CHANGE IN OFFICERS OF
 MINERS EXECUTIVE BOARD

Washington, Feb. 6.-At a meeting of the international executive board of the United Mine orkers of America here today, Frank J., Hayes resigned as International president of the miners unon. Hhe board advanced Vice Pres- ident John L. Lewis to the office of president, and Philip Murray, presi- dent of the Pittsburgh district, was chosen vice president.
 Hayes has been in poor health for more than a year, due to a nervous breakdown. He had leave of ab- sence last summer and spent several months in sanatarium, later gong to Denver, where he now is. He has not recovered sufficiently to resume office. Lewis, who has been acting president of the union, directed the affairs of the union through the wage negotiations and the recent strike and is the miners leader in the recent hearing before the coal commission.
 Murray is rated as one of the con- servative leaders of the miners. He has been president of the Pittsburgh district for four years and in that time his district has shown asn1all- CT percentage of local strikes than any other district in the organization. He is regarded as a harEnoniEer He is also a member of the Pittsburgh city board of education,

STORIES OF THE WAR
Gas in Future Wars.

There would be no more resaSon to forbid the use of gas than to prohibit the employment of rifles in the next war, says Majojr General Sir Louis Jackson of the Royal Engineers, form erly in charge of offensive gas produc- tion. There were, he declared, gases which killed painlessly and it was easy to conceive cases in which it would be more humane to use gas than explo- sive shells. It might be possible to come to some arrangement whereby no gas should be used that caused un- necessary suffering.
 In a recent address before some of the leading lights in the military world he stated that the world was on the eve of the most extensive modified tions in the art of war known to his- tory, and the changes made in the re- cent war were only the beginning. It was necessary to develop new arms with the knowledge that the nation which best did 50 would have a great advantage in the next war.
 The tanks were not likely to be used in future wars but they had shown that mechanical transport was not de- pendent on highways and that there fore the whole transport Of an army could be carried by vehicles with cat erpillar wheels independently of the roads.
 Air fighting would be enormously developed. The short rifle would be replaced by short carbine which would be accurate up to range of 800 yards.
 Artillery would be much more mo- bile and if they were to allow for an advance Of 12 miles a day the guns must be capable of an effective bar rage up to 1s,0o0 yards. He thought that short AZ gun with an accurate range of 12s0o0 yards and a long AZ

when Senator Hitchcock admits that he. knew the attitude of Wis count Gney, that he had talked with hin on the subject of the treaty and had learned that no objection could be expected to tl1ss reservations as proposed in this & country. barring rossIbly the Lenroot proposal it seems a bit strange that President wilson had not been informed about it or that the democratic members of the senate who have been held in line against their inclinations by the wilson whip were not told. It indi- catss the determination of the ad- u1lnistration treaty leader to push through the treaty without change, rezardless of the knowledge that for etgn opposition was out of the ques- ton, or else it was a stubborn de- termination to delay the getting to- rether on a compromise programme, with the knowledge possessed all the time that the reserEationists were working for the protection of the in- tarests of the United States.
 Thus the Grey letter couldn't have caused much surprise to Senator tALEnCOGh- ESN6n lle AdCl lildl He was given to understand that Great Britain could be expected to raise no objection to the action of this coun- try. which sentiment there was good reason to believe voiced the feeling Of European countries. didn't result in the lessening of the fight against such changes. It is not to be sup posed that the British ambassador was trying to influence legislation here when he talked with the senator in fact the senator declares that the viScount was very careful in his conversations regarding the treaty and reservations. but even after it was known the obstacle of European opposition could be eliminated the dogged fight to disregard our own interests was continued, and unless a change is shown next week when the treaty is called up in the senate, is stfn being continued.

PROPER ACTION.

Just how there could have been any ether decision than the one rendered in the case Of the steamship Var mouth and its cargo of whiskey val ued at four million dollars or more is difficult to understand, yet there are some who take the position that it should have been destroyed.
 It was required by law that any liquor intended for export should be gotten out of the country by mid night of the 18th Of January. The Yarmouth was secured for the pur- pose of taking a cargo of liquor to Cuba Ii is true that it was an eleventh hour undertaking for the loading of the vessel was feverishly carried on right up to the last min ute. IL wasn't possible to get aboard all that was desired or intended. but a large amount was slowed away be- tween decks and the vessel departed in time to make the sailing entirely legal The haste with which the loading was done caused the cargo 10 shift after the vessel encountered a storm of the New Jersey coast. The ship was in danger of being lost and it turned back to port and with
  st of course came most of its cargo.
 l. was a natural procedure. The cargo was legitimate and until it was found that certain ones were tapping ft there was no reason to deny the vessel and crew and the owners of the cargo the protection of harbor until conditions could be made safe 10 continue. The attempt to seize the ship and cargo was uncalled for just because the vessel was carrying liquor although it was important that the unloading of any of it should not be permitted. When the ship re- turned to port for repairs it did the oniy thing possible and it isn't denied that such action was justified. Thus the decision of Washington that the Yarmouth be permitted to proceed to Havana is quite correct. But for it's cargo no other course would have been thought of, and it doesn't ao- pear that the cargo has been left in New York.

rHE NEW SECRETARY.

There is a new secretary at the helm iii the department of agricul- ture. and that isn't saying that his predecessor was not actively inter ested in the duties of his department, but being called to a new. job it was quite natural that Secretary Mere dith should take off his coat and knuckle down to the business be- fore him. relieve himself of some of the ideas he has regarding the way some of the problems affecting his department should be handled and indicate that he intended to keep up an active agitation in that direc- ton.
 Secretary Meredith comes in at a time when the cost of living problem was never greater and wken the country has been hearing that it can expect a slump in Agricultural pro- duction, because dissatisfaction is said to exist among the farmers Ma tuIally the new secretary does not try to saddle the blame for high prices on the farmers or attempt to fix if definitely on others, but he urges that Business men must look to the operation of their establish n1ents, no matter in what line they may be engaged, and see that no useless empioye is retained to add to the cost of distributing what the far mer now produces. Useless employees must be released from non productive work that they may get into produc- tive work, and add to the sum total that may be distributed among alI.~ Thus Secretary Meredith lays em- phasis upon production and calls at- tention to the necessity of adjusting business to the point where needless expenses, which all add to the price of goods, may be eliminated. He steps into office at a time when he is going to have every opportunity to advocate and put through such bet terments as will correct present ten- dencies and t is interesting to note that he aims at accomplishments. He should prove an inspiration to the l pessifnistic agricalturalists

RAkER oN AWARDS.

Inuuiries in regard to the award ing of medals for war service are not being confined to the navy depart ment where Admiral Sims and others have protested against the way in which honors have been distributed. From the testimony given before 2 bofise investigating committee it would appear that Secretary of War Baker was due for an explanation or his, action in distributing medals evzn as Secretary Daniels of the navy department was after the Sims letter.
 But in the case of the secretary of the navy the determination to place a medal where he wanted it to go was so strong that he cared nothing for. the legal obstacles in the way and if. made no difference to him that the one Ito receive the honor was not connected with the military forces.
 Something in the way D. c. Jack ling of Salt Lake City handled the subletting of the contract for the construction of the war city Of Nitro insWest Virginia apparently So i'm pressed Secretary Baker that he wasn't to be frustrated in his deter imitation to reward the signer of the contract; otherwise than by the flnan- cia1 return he received for his work, and in spite of the fact that when the government undertook to dis pose of the war city it was unable to get more than an eighth of what the work cost.
 According to a member of the board of awards Secretary Baker was in- formed, when he suggested that a distinguished service medal be awarded to Mr. Jacxling, that such could not be legally done inasmuch as the awards are for those in the military service. Secretary Baker snapped his finger at the board and at the flegality of his demand. He overruled them all and not being dis posed to bow te legal action made the award. He was willing to go even farther than his. brother cabinet member who differed with the board but kept the awards within the navy.
