Notwithstanding the varying degree of belief which men have in Jesus Christ, they all believe they have received from him through his influence and teaching certain things which may properly be called gifts One of these gifts Is keener sense Oi justice in mems relation one with an other. Among the gifts received iS a noblcr type of woman and the increaS- ,d respect in which she is held by . nobler type of men. The gifts which men and women enjoy through the teaching of Jesus are so numerous that they can not be counted"
 But it is not enough" said Rev. Carter. simply to receive the gifts; they must be used or they will be lost. There are too many believers in Jesus Christ who are in the class where a boy uuwittingly placed his father when he said he was Christian but was not then working at it."

The war has produced an cXtraor- dinary change in the economic rela- tions of the United States with Eur opc." he said. Whereas, in 1914, Am erica owed Europe f2,0OO,OO0OOO at present Europe owes America f2,OOO,- OOO,OO6.
 Assuming that the postwar pur- chasing power of the dollar was 70 percent of pre-war purchasing per cent, Crammond said during the five years there had been an actual in crease in the national wealth of the United States of approximately go percent. and he estimated this wealth now in the ncighborhood of f70,000,- OOO,OOO to GSO,OOO,OOO,OOO.
 The national wealth of Japan, he estimated, had been doubled by the war.
 On the basis of a postwar mark valued at 50 percent of it's pre-war value he estimated Germany has lost apart from the indemnity, 26 percent of her national wealth, the whole of her mercantile marine, all her colonial possessions, and practically the whole of her Investments abroad. If the fig urcS suggested at the Hythe confcren- >ce f6,25O,OOO,OOO, were fixed as the German war indemnity he declared the total losses of the German people arising out of the war would be equiv alent to about O,OOO,OOO or one- half her national wealth.
 "So far as the world as a whole is concerned the prncipal loss is in the fact that Europe is not yet a going concern ", he continued, "but the un- deriving economic forces which made her the great center of the worlds commercial activities are still at work and will rapidly transform the econo- mic situation in Europe"

HUNDRED BILLION NOW
 ESTIMATED AS WAR COST
 TO EUROPEAN COUNTRIES

LONDON, July % The actual cost of the war to European belliger- ents was in excess of $10O,0O0, 900, ,000, represented by property destroyed, losses in investments abroad, dcpre- citation of properties, and by pensions, Edgar Crammond, English financicr, told the Bankers Institute at a recent r,ect'ng here.
 He fixed the following as the real losses of the European Belligerents:
 Germany. eS,7OO,OOO,OOO; France, f6.25O, 100000; The United Kingdom, e5,2OO.OOO; Italy, f2,1OO,OOO,OOO; Bel gium, f55O,OOOO,OOO.
 To only two belligcrent countries, the United States and Japan, did the war bring prosperity, Mir. Crammond said, but Spain, Holland, Switzerland Greece. and Scandinavia, also had grown wealthier He believed the "li- quid capital of the world, now distri' buted in centers which are unaccust. omed to the exercise of their new powers" would eventually again fine it's chief outlet through London.

Forgery Ring" Of
3 Little NeWSieS

How three Wichita boys, aged ok.
nine, and eleven years, brothers, sue
cessfully forged checks amounting to
$31 through Wichita merchants was
revealed just at the close Of the 1918
Christmas season when the boys sent
another check to the Boston store.
The boys worked their game as
cleverly as ever forgers did. They are
newsboys. Their family is poor. They
have promised to make up the loss TO
the merchants by their PROFITS in SELL
ing papers. They form what 10 be-
lieved to be the youngest Arm" Of

after they had made a fearful con-
fession. Red" is the older. is half
brother of the two younger boys, and
was the brains of the corporation. He
wrote the checks and sent the two
younger boys to the stores with them.
Their family knows nothing Of tho
case, and the boys begged their
parents should not be told.
Another boy had done it," they ex-
planned. He said it was lots easier
than working hard selling papers. 1t
was, too, while it worked
The first check was cashed by the
Boston store November 10. It was for
sixteen dollars. The check was made
out to the Boston Store and signed
with a mans name in a business

On December l a check for fifteen
dollars made it's appearance, signed
by another name. 1t was made out to
the Spines Clothing Company. Ac-
companying it was a note, written IN
different handwriting, and purport-
ing to come from the boys mother.
It said:
please let my little boys have a
pair Of gloves each and give them the
balance in cash, which they will re-
turn to me-"
The boys got the gloves and the
change. The gloves they threw away,
since they could not take them home
without suspicion. They said they
spent part of the money for meals
downtown, for there wasn't much ia
cat at home" Most of the money had
been spent.
The family lives in the thirteenth
block on East Douglas Avenue. The
mother is forced to do washing to
help out with the family excheouer.
The boys appeared at the Boston
store Wednesday with q check for
$40. They were held, as the bank
had refused payment on the first
check they gave the firm. The bows
, finally confessed.
The management of the store is not
inclined to prosecute, and arrange
ments are to be made whereby q Ger.

earnings from selling newspapers will
go toward liquidation of their debts.
The boys are satisfied with thi.
arrangement and their only request
was that their mother should NOT
learn of their conduct.-Wich;ta
