Drive for s1OO,OO0,00O Dur
ing Week of April 25-May 2
to Be Outlined Tomorrow.

Men will never be drawn to the
ministry by the lure of it's luxurious
living. and the church can never make
sufficient appeal to its best young
men until it gives a fair recognition
of the value of their services"
That Is what DR.. J. Y. Aitchison.
OF New York, general director of the
new world movement of Northern
Blptists, has TO say regarding the
salary basis of Baptist ministers. A
living wage for preachers is one Of
the aims OF the new world movement,
for which Sl00.00O,O0O campaign
will be waged from April 25 to May 2
The entire plan of the new world
movement its aims and needs, will be
outlined by DR.. Aitchison at a big de-
nominational meeting to be held in
the Second Baptist Church tomorrow.
This will be the first Of a series of
Baptist conferences to be held in
about 100 cities Of the United States
during the coming two weeks, at
which plans for the 100000 600 cam
paign will be discussed.
Several hundred women represent
ing twenty-five Baptist churches will
be present. Mrs. o. Il. Howe, presi-
dent of the Woman's Baptist Mission
airy Association of the District OF Co
lumbia, will have charge Of the
meeting.
~ In addition to DIR. Aitchison, other
leaders Of the Northern Baptist new
world movement will speak. Among
these will be Mrs. James Madison
Pratt, officer of the American For
eign Mission Society, who is to re-
main in Washington during the week
to plan for the local campaign.
As a result OF a recent survey, IT
was found that the average salary Of
Baptist ministers in s6S3 a year Only
eight preachers out of every 100 in
the Baptist ministry 0ess than 700
out of S,S23 ordained ministers in the
Northern States are receiving a much

nationalist army early last week
This town is only twenty-three miles
from Ismid, the British port OF entry

Railway communication between

Bilejik after getting out all their
Indian troops. which had been guard

at Ismid, and the protective area Is
restricted largely to districts within
range OF the naval guns.
While the British were repairing the
bridge near Bilejik, nstionalists di-
rected a heavy machine gun fire upon
them, but their aim was so bad there
was only one casualty. After cross.

WILSON IN TOUCH WITH
FRENCH-GERMAN TILT

President Wilson is giving his at
between France and Germany con
cerning Germany's alleged violation
OF the treaty, it was learned today.
The State Department is receiving
frequent reports from Paris. These
reports are being forwarded to the
President.
State Department officials as yet
are not prepared to let It be known
what action this Government will
take, IL any, in the event France car
ries out her reported threat to oc-
cupy important cities OF Westphalia
unless German troops are withdrawn
from the Ruhr district within twenty
four hours. 1t is considered likely
that the only action this Government
will take IL the situation becomes
more acute is the granting Of it's
moral support to the supreme council.
Officials here so far give no indi-
cation that they regard the situation
as serious. Unofficial dispatches
from London refer to the situation
as a "squabble" between France and
Germany.
1t is believed probable that the
allied governments will receive pro-
tests from Germany against further
occupation by France OF German ter
ritory. The United States may get a
protest, it is predicted.
There is no belief here that France
and Germany will come to armed
conflict over the situation.

From this you gather that,
wherever else real worth may be
located, it is surely to be found in
science. in the intelligence that
grows in the brain of man, as the
ambergris grows in the whales
insides.
The American public paid Bar
mum a fortune for the pleasure of
looking at a white elephant, no
more interesting than an ordinary
elephant.
Rulers of Siam insisted always
on having a sacred white elephant
near the palace. They thought
that was religion. 1t was really
the religion of the little boy that
keeps a couple Of toads and a gar
ter snake, if his mother will let
him.
The public also paid Barnum for
the privilege Of looking upon his

ture with the frontal-angle of

The deformed idiot was worth"
half million dollars. Much more

The Empress Catherine of Rus
sia was one of the first rulers to
be vaccinated against the fmallpox
and it took. She was gfAteful to
the little boy from whose arm was
taken the smallpox virus injected
into her body. She thought it i'm
possible to exaggerate the value"
Of that little drop of poison, so she
created that boy "the Duke of
Smallpox"
The same Empress bought all
the books and fixings in the house
of Voltaire, at Ferney, when he
died, his paintings, his books with
the interesting notes on the mar
gins. Lenin or Trotsky should dig
them up and give them a special
place of honor in some museum if
they haven't done it already.
Probably that Empress attach
ed more Importance to the poison
that protected her unimportant
system against smallpox than to
Voltaire's entire life time. So
"what is value?"
The other day, on the way to
Cuba, there passed through New

seventeen thousand dollars. When
he gets to Cuba he will have
sharp steel spurs fastened to the
stumps of his natural spurs. And
while crowds gesticulate, applaud
and bet he will fight until some
other rooster puts steel shaft
through his brain. After that he
will be worth not seventeen thou

We wonder how the Hottentot

can take any pleasure in the
society of lady whom he has

We wonder especially at the
seventeen thousand dollar value

beings, are worth no more than
the fighting rooster among ami
mails.

Whether the radical element OF the
Sim Fein would attempt a revolt in

sidered doubtful in many quarters
But the military authorities were not
taking any chances. They declar>l
that they would be prepared for any
thing-either peace or war.
The hope was held out that Easter
week would pass quietly and that
the Sim Fein extremists would con-
tent themselves with isolated attacks
against barracks OF the Royal Irish
