EDUCATION TO GAIN
BYCHURCH GIFTS
Will Receive Share of Fund
Raised by Workers in World
Movement.

Workers in the Interchurch World
| Movement campaign today were en-
phasizing the fact that part Of the
fund which is being raised for the
budget is to be used in educational
work. A sum between $7s.O00.OO0 and
$79 100000 is contained in the budget
set by the thirty participating de-
nominations to carry on this work.
At present only 81 is spent by the
church upon education. as against $40
by the state. The church is planning
great advance in educational work.
This problem is not so great. 1t is
said, when 1t is remembered that more
than one-half Of the total investment
in higher education in the United
States is in colleges and universities
founded by religious denominations.
Half of the 100000 students Of higher
grade in the United States are in at
tendance at these UNCONVENTIONAL in
stitutions. It is to meet the needs
of this mass of students that one
fifth of the entire interchurch budget
has been assigned to American edu-
cation.
A jump Of s12,ooo.ooo in the Inter
church World Movement fund has
been reported from New York head
quarters to the Office here. This makes
the total sum SO far reported $780,
816.760. Lyman L. Pierce, rector
genaral Of the campaign. predicts the
complete success of the drive to raise
the budget desired by the thirty par
ticipating denominations.
Here in Washington the drive was
continued actively today with several
new teams organizing for a whirl-
, wind finish of the campaign to put
Washington lover the top"
In the budget is included $5.931.925
to be applied to the advancement of
religious educa ton. Las tyear, ac-
cording to a survey made for the in
terchurch movement. thirteen million
members of twenty religious bodies
spent only 5.3 cents per member on
their Sunday schools and young peo-
pies boards. Under the budget al
lotment for the next year, as much
as 20 cents per member will be spent.

61ST BIRTHDAY IS
PASSED BY KAISER
IN DUTCH CASTLE

THE HAGUE, Jan. %. by the Assoc
ciated Press Former Emperor VIII
liam observed his 6lst birthday--his
second since he has been at Amerongen
yesterday.
Dutch officials reiterated to the Assoc
ciated Press their assurances that no
efforts TO their knowledge have been
made by either the German government
or the allies to deal direct with the
former emperor, with a view to bring
ing about his surrender. The officials
expressed the belief that the letter from
Count Hohenzollern, sent from Am
erongcn on Jan to Prince Fusten-
berg and published i'm the Neue Iei-
tunI, OF Berlin. can be taken at its face
valve as an expression of William $
attitude.
This letter is being widely reproduced
by the Dutch press. In II the former
emperor stated he had no desire to re-
turn to Germany as he felt he had
been deceived even by Gen, Luden-
dorff Field Marshal Won Hindenburg
and Admiral Won Tlrpitz, He said he
could not bear to see the ruin in this
country and she looked forward with
pleasure 10 living at Doern.
These statements, say the Dutch Of
ficials, reflect exactly the former en-
peror's attitude so far as they. know.
The letter further stated that the for
mer emperor favored the return OF the
former crown prince to Gels. where the
living Is cheaper. as his son had re-
peatedly complained Of his small in
come,
The Dutch press is beginning to show
some signs OF alarm in consequence OF
Hollands refusal TO grant the extradi,,
ton Of the former ruler but 1t Is learned
that the government Is tranquil and de-
termined to stick TO its attitude.
