INCREASED WAGES
FOR THE CLERGYMEN

Increases in the salary of the
Episcopal clergymen in various do
ceses in the West to something more
nearly a living wage, have been voted
as one Of the immediate results of
the nationwide campaign now under
way in the church. The diocese of
Olympia has established a minimum
salary of $500 as has the diocese of
Sacramento. The diocese of Califor-
MIA, embracing San Francisco, Oak
land and the bay counties, has es-
tablished $500 as a maximum salary
for ministers with children, $1,000 for
unmarried clergy, $500 for married
clergymen with an allowance of 800
for each child until the maximum for
n clergyman is reached of $500.
Many of the western dioceses are
approaching their quotas, with the
diocese of Oregon already reaching its
quota in the nationwide campaign
In other parishes and districts the
campaign is being continued, to end
at Easter.
Over the nation, reports from New
York. indicate that the quota of $42,-
600, 900 has been about sixty per cent
subscribed, with thousands Of COM
municants in the church, men and
women, ~dedicating themselves to
church service. The purposes of the
nationwide campaign for church
stimulation will be continued as q
permanent part of the work of the
Episcopal church, according to an an
nouncement just received from the
headquarters in New York City.

FRENCH MEMORIALS
FOR u. s. SOLDIERS

Relatives, or beneficiaries of Ameri-
can soldiers who gave their lives for
their country during the world war
in France, are to receive sheep-skin
memorials from the French govern
ment, according to information re-
ceived from the Army Recruiting
News Service, $50 Market Street, San
Francisco. Approximately 1000 of
these memorials have been received
at the recruiting office for distribu-
ton in the San Francisco recruiting
district through the American Legion.
Where two or more memorials are
sent to the same town, they will be
sent to the legion post in that town
and their delivery will be marked by
appropriate ceremony. Those being
sent to towns which contain no post
of the legion will be sent to the rela-
tive or beneficiary direct from the
headquarters of the recruiting dis1
trict.
Printed on a fine quality of sheep
skin. the memorial is twenty and ne
half inches long and thirteen and one
half inches wide. They will be pre-
scented to the nearest relative or bene-
ficiary of men who died in action in
France, or of any cause. except
through their own misconduct. Where
possible, the presentation will take
place on Washington's birthday, Feb
ruary %.

GRAFT IN BURY|NG
j. s. SOLDIER DEAD

Inscriptions undertakers, promul-
eating a plot by which they would
swindle relatives of the American SOL
der dead in France, have been ap-
pretended by department of justice
operatives, and their nefarious
scheme nipped in the bud, according
to information received from the wal
department.
When the bodies of American dead
were being returned from Russia,
early in January, the commanding
general of the port of Hoboken dis
covered that an undertaken of New
York was sending kilograms to rela-
tives of deceased soldiers, attempting
to arrange for funeral services under
the direction of his undertaking es-
adjustment. AS this would be in
terfering with the plans of the war
department, due measures were taken
to prevent a REPETITION of the occur
renee.
Much work was caused the depart
ment of justice operatives by the ac-
tivities of a man who said his name
was f. Teysseyre and that he was an
undertaken from Paris. where he
affiliated with the American Purple
Cross Society. He said the purpose
of this society was to facilitate the
return home of the soldier dead, and
his letters showed that he quoted the
return of a body at $605.
Teysseyre's prospectus gave glow
ing accounts of his powress and abil-
ity as an undertaken, and they also
claimed that he could obtain the bod!
of any soldier buried outside the n
of armies, which he characterized as
only a small section, whereas all mill
tary maps show the zone to a X up
a large section of France.
Because of the great number of in
q~uiries received by the war depart
ment concerning Teysseyre and his
scheme, a warning has been issued TO
all concerned, advising them not to
pay money to anybody for the return
home of bodies, as it is the intention
of the government to return the sol
der dead at public expense to the
next of kin, if they so desire, no one
else being authorized to remove the
bodies buried in France.
Further information concerning
American dead in France or Russia
may be had by inquiring of the Graves
Registration Bureau, Washington. DC.

DEMOCRATS DESERT
PARTY N CALIFORNIA

Registration figures collected from
many points throughout California by
Republican State chairman Raymond
Benjamin indicate an upsetting of po-
litical alignment hat Benjamin re-
ferred to as "the shadow of a com
ing event"
The reports from county clerks of
California to Benjamin, show two
things he said:
First-Wholesale assertions by the
voters from the ranks of the Demo
cratic party and a resulting increase
in Republican registrations.
Second-The gradual elimination of
the voter who refuses to state his or
her politics when registering, which
prevents the voter from participating
in the primaries of any party.
While Republican registration fig
ures in past years have usually been
larger than the Democratic, the 1920
reg~istrants, if they keep up their pres
ent ratio, will give the grand old party
a plurality such as it never enjoyed
since registrants were asked to state
their party affiliations.
Benjamin's report show that coun-
ties where the Democratic registra-
ton exceeded the Republican regis
tration in 1918 have Topped complete
ly and are now giving the Republi-
cans such a lead that local Democra-
tic committees have given up all hope
of saving the situation.
Kern county is one OF these. AT the
close Of the registration books in 1913
the Democratic registration was Ill
per cent of the Republican. Today II
is only II per cent.

Mr.. Wellsi He conceded our pOiteness at
the outset-that being the first of long
series of concessions on his part. Indeed
with the exception of the hours he spent on
his History" Mr.. Wells was conccding all
the time. He conceded the deliciouSness of
roast Czecho- Slovakian goose. He conceded
the charm of Czecho-Slovakian petit tours.
He conceded the airiness of his Czecho-
Slovakian suite on the second floor of the
Hotel Passage. Prague And he conceded
the right of the Czecho- Slovakians to hate
the Poles, If the Czecho- Slovakians were so
disposed. For. be 1t known. Mr.. Wells en-
joyed the trip That, too, is a fundamental
upon which we are all agreed. Mr.. Wells
enjoyed the places he went to-and the peo-
pie he went with. He enjoyed the Lea &
Perrins piquancy of Robert Nichols. He en-
joyed the Wagnerian stolidity of Lord Dun
sany. He enjoyed the subtle humor of c.
r. w. Nevinson, r. A. And he enjoyed his
fortyf1ve minute tussle every morning with
the language of Kaiser William (rcsigned)
in an effort to persuade the Czecho- Slova<ian
hotel maid to give him a bath.
Mr.. Wells has an almost inordinate ca
pacity for enjoyment. The critics afford him
considerable Then that Is supplemented by
the more audacious of his fellow craftsmen.
Then. too, there is a further contribution
from the orthodox clerics AS he told me
himself. he would probably enjoy trip to
America If Eugene " Debs were not in Jail.
Indeed Mr.. Wells was rather doubtful as to
the possibilities for enjoyment In America.
True. he conceded It's wonderful country
but isn't it jolly awkward having to go to
prison II one speaks ones mind?
Now, in Czecho- Slovakia, on the other
hand. enjoyment was quite accessible And
as Czeoho-Slovakia's Sofa ist Premier was
not in Jail. and as Mr. Wells is naturally a
very affable fellow anyway. Mr.. Wells was
soon having a thoroughly delightful time.
OF course it was important that M. Wells
as the most distinguished member CT the
party. receive the best possible impression
of Czecho- Slovakia. We were a unit With

this ought to sell, but It was written because
the author had something worth saying.
And the theme of the book is this: In order
to help our friends untangle their lives we
must encourage and accept the complete
revelation of what they really are Ike in
stead of imposing on them our own ideas
Anthony March understood this truth and
acted upon it, saying TO Mary:
Il think l know why the princess was
dumb. Because when she tried TO speak
no one wanted to hear what she had TO say.
They insisted on keeping her an image merely,
so that they could go on attributing to her
just the thoughts they wished her TO think
