CHURCH NEWS AND
OTHER MATTERS OF
RELIGIOUS NATURE
Christian Education.

Franklin X. Lane. former Secretary
of the Interior under President VIII
son, recently said: IF the $500. 900
illiterates in the United States were
stretched in double line at intervals
of three feet and were to march past
the White House at the rate of TWEEN
ty-five miles a day, 1t would require
more than two months for them to
pass"
The curse. of our fair land is ignor-
ance and illiteracy, but a better day
is dawning; both Church and State are
beginning to realize that Americas
salvation lies in educating the masses.
Every State in the Union is giving
largely for educational purposes, and
all honor TO the Southern States es-
pecially which are making heroic eff
forts to reach the neglected and un-
educated. Coupled with what the
States are doing is the work of the
Eouthern Methodists, Southern Bap-
lists, Southern Presbyterians, Episco-
palians and other religious bodies who
are untiring in their efforts to provide
better equipment and better facilities
for young men and women who are
being urged as never before to take
advantage of the opportunities made
possible by the liherality of laymen Of
all denominations.

GAIN SHOWN IN TOTAL NUMBER
 OF VOTES CAST

JUNEAU, Jan. 21.-The territorial canvassing board has completed it's check on the returns in the recent election so far as they were received from the precincts, showing that a total of 10,096 votes were cast in the November election in Alaska. Out of that number a total of 9,633 votes were cast in the delegate contest and 9,290 in the attorney general race. The vote cast last year for delegate was 691 larger than that cast in 1918 when 8,941 votes were canvassed by the board
 The First division was 1,18S great CT than that of the Third division, the Snext largest, 4,187 being cast in the First division as compared to 2,999 in the Third. The total vote by division was, First division, 4,1S7; Second, 69O; Third, 2,999; Fourth 2,22O. How ever, all the votes cast in this divi- sion have been counted while num- Der of precincts are still to be heard from in the others, which will cut

ment, and it can be brought about even Caadian fishermen, for we are only regulating our own supply and our ports would be open to free en- try of fish to either Canadian or American vessels when discharging at an American port by the vessel catch ing the same, and the Canadian rail road system, which has the shortest and quickest route between Alaska and our eastern markets would, to get this great volume of business, CO., operate in the establishment of car ferry service from it's terminus at Prince Rupert across to Alaska, per hitting our products to move in re- frigerator cars direct from Alaska to our eastern centers of distribution as freely as shipments now move from the state of Michigan through south ern Ontario, via Canadian railroads into the state of New York
 "The treaty now in the hands of our department of state, but as yet unratified by the United States sen- ate, would strike a terrific blow to the existing and future development of the fisheries of the north Pacific, from an American standpoint" said MT. Strong.
 COnfinuinor MT Cfrnn0 ca;d.
 American harbors in Alaska are the refuge for the vessels operating on the most extensive fishing banks in the world which are tributary to the Alaska coast. The American con- suming public is the logical and only existing profitable market for the product, yet the treaty which has been drafted prohibits our govern ment from enacting any legislation af-
 'cting these fisheries or their pro- 'rcts for period of fifteen years md then only upon giving Canada 'wo years notice.
 This in effect gives the Canadian Hort of Prince Rupert every advant- "ge, it being the closest port to the Alahka fisheries possessing direct connections with eastern markets of the United States, and with the SUD- port of the Canadian government, Alaska fisheries possessing direct forever lose the opportunity of be- coming the home port, and of obtain. ing the benefits derived from this in- dustry and the operation of the prin- cipal fleet catching the fish"

TO
 RATIFICATION
 FISH TREATY

That the Americana Canadian fish cries treaty which grew out of the American-Canadfan fisheries confer ence two years ago is inimical to the interests of Alaska and that it's rati- fication by the senate should be pre- vented if possible is the opinion of H. c. Strong, Ketchikan business man who has been spending two or three days in Juneau, left for their home at Ketchikan last night, says the Elm pire.
 "Canada's interest in this treaty lies in the fact that it would bar the Unit ed States for at least seventeen years from enacting tariff or other Iegisla- tion governing these fisheries It would give her control of the fish taken from Alaskan banks through the vessels operating from her ports, and American markets would remit to, and pay Canada for this catch. Will our statesmen be so blind as to per init the ratification of such treaty?
 "On account of the geographical po- sition of Canada, lying between Alas ka and our states, and possessing con- ditions fostered by her government, it has become absolutely necessary for our government to enact legislation, if the Pacific fisheries supported by the ATNn nrin rlZ tA hn American resource. Let us consider what the following measure would mean for Alaska and America as a whole-either reasonable tariff measure affecting fish prepared for shipment at a foreign port, or legis- lative act as follows:
 "'On or after ninety days after the | passage of this act, no fresh or frozen fish taken from the North Pacific ocean or tributary waters shall be admitted to the United States through any foreign country except when the same shall be admitted in bond from an American port
 This in effect would automatically move across the line from British Columbia to Alaska, the buyers rep resenting our eastern wholesale fish houses. Alaskan ports would become the home and base of supply for the fishing fleet. American markets would remit to Alaska payment for this supply of fish instead of to Brit ish Columbia as they now do.
 This effective legislation wib do more to give the coast towns of Alas. ka a permanent population than any act within the power of our govern

BATTLE FOR BODY OF MAN LEADS TO COURT

Atlanta, August "A battle over the body of a man klled here in a railroad wreck enlivened minor courts when the widow of the dead man was forced to take legal steps to get the body from undertakers who had placed it in a hearse and taken it to their morgue after the accident.
 Greenberg & Bonds, undertakers, employed by the widow of H. M. Emerson. took possession of Elmer sons body after a receivership had been granted. Donehoo & Bazemore had embalmed the body and refused to part with it until their fee of $50 had been paid by the widow.
 A suit for damages iii the sum of S10,00 later was filed by Mrs. Elmer son, who declared employees of Done hoo & Bazemore removed her hus- bands body from the scene of the wreck against her wishes and over her protest.

Will Not Let
 Frederick Spirit
 Rest In Peace

KeIbra, Germany, Aug. 2-German nilitarists won't let the spirit of Friedrich Barbarossa rest in peace. They are worse than the patriotic Americans who have trundIed John Paul Jones around so unceremOniouS- ly in recent years.
 Hindenburg and 10000 other sol- diers who fought in both the Franco PruSSian and the recent war journey ed to this part of Germany and par ticipated in the celebration of the 18th anniversary of the dedication of the gigantic kyffhaeuSer memorial erected to celebrate Germany's vic tory over France and the restoration of the German empire.
 This location in the hills between the Thuringian and Hartz mountains was selected for the memorial be- cause it is here that legend insists Friedrich Barbarossa, Germany's first great warrior, lived on for eight centuries and awaited the opportun- ity to restore the empire which he founded in the 18th century. Under his son, Friedrich II, the empire went to pieces. But the red-bearded mon arch, so the tradition runs, refused to accept the dissolution of the en- pire as final.
 When Bismarck finally managed to reestablish the German empire, the spirit of Friedrich Barbarossa is sup posed to have risen from the cavern where he slept for centuries and as sumed the direction of Germany's destiny. A gigantic statue of Fried rich Baroness stands beneath the great Kyffhaeuser memorial and rep resents him leading Germany on to victory.
 Until the defeat of France made Friedrich Barbarossa's resurrection possible he is supposed to have lived in a cave beneath the eminence on within the cave represents him as ed. A statue of the old emperor within the. cave represents hime as marble table through which his red beard grew.
 Friedrich Rueckert and many other German poets have sung of the red-bearded emperor who refused to die but merely went to sleep, after descending into the enchanted cavern and taking the glory of the empire with him. Ravens were supposed to fly over the hill surnounting the cavern and when they stopped flying the sleeping monarch was to awake and resume leadership.
 Like Rip Van Wrinkle, Friedrich Barbarossa had pygmies for his com panion and these droll folk, were SUD- posed. to keep continually on the watch that they might arouse the sleeping emperor when the ravens save the signal for him to arise
 Military events in 1918 again up- set the dreams of Friedrich Barbar- ossa, and distributed the peace of Wilhelm II. The perfected legend as typified in tn great memorial pile and the resurrected spirit of Barbar- ossa is again turned back to the 18th century The ravens still fly about the hill where Hindenburg and his comrades-in-arms gathered to do honor to the regime which has gwen way before democratic forces.
 Barbarossa's s statue still remains in the enchanted cavern and perhaps future poets will extend the legend, or alter it so as to have the restless spirit of Wilhelm I await the op- portunity to revive the empire which went to pieces under his grandson.

Little Yacht
 Starts Voyage Across Ocean

Press. .)-Fog shrouding the head lands, the roar of the Atlantic on the lodges of Sambro, two thousand miles Of acean ahead, and the Neltn' thirteen ton yacht, a white dot on the blue of Halifax, was away for England. On July 1S a fair breeze chopping up the approach to the ocean with whose powers she is now wrestling, the little cutter sailed out of Halifax for the River Crouch with Sydney C. Houghton, O. B. E., R. N. V. R., commander and owner; How ard M. Bell and Clifford Willard, New York; Dwight DeWolf, Halifax; and Mortimer Jordan, Barbadian cook
 TWenty-four days these sanguine five expect to be on the ocean, but many a wind struck veteran of the Nova Scotia coast shakes his head and says with ominous meaning, CT Houghton is commodore of the Crouch Yacht Club and he intends to enter his boat in the cruiser yacht races there this summer.
 The course the Neith is taking will lead her in a north easterly direction towards Newfoundland, sighting Cape Race; thence to the South coast of Ireland, to the Scilly Island, up the English Channel, through the straits of Dover, across the mouth of the IhdheS eSIudTy duu lO lAS INlNS1 Crouch. Unless it is absolutely nec- essary the Neith will make no port until she arrives at her destination
 The Neith was designed and built by Hereshof, Rhode Island, in 1907 as a fast cruiser rigged yacht. She is 39 feet long, has a beam of 10 feet seven inches and draws seven feet, eight inches with her keel Under ordinary cruising her sail area is eighteen hundred square feet
 On the yachts deck is a dory fit ted with watertight bulkheads at each end. Provisions to last four teen days are kept in this boat
 The Neith carries about two tons of provisions, sufficient for two months. This includes one hundred and fifty gallons of water, one half gallon to be allowed per man per day.
 This is not the Neith's first at tempt to cross the Atlantic. On August 31 last year Commander Houghton sailed from New York for England. Nineteen days out, how ever, he found that he had made only about HOO miles with fall storms ap- preaching and his business calling him home. He accordingly made for Halifax arriving there September 2S last and laying the Keith up for the winter.

Liquor Traffic In Germany To
 Be Regulated

Berlin, Aug. 2.-Consumption of wines and liquors has been increasing so rapidly in Germany since the war that the Reichstag has directed the drafting of law, to be introduced at the September session, to regulate the traffic. The law also will check a growing increase in the number of saloons which, in Berlin particularly, has baen so rapid that even the mod crates say the health and morals of the people are endangered.
 The crime wave which has been sweeping the country for many rmonths, filling the jails of every city and severely taxing the resources of the police, is attributed by many to the 'drink-craze'' and especially to the more general use, among the poorer Germans, of cheap cagnacs, green whiskies, gin and other hard liquors" The Germans, in fact, are gradually losing their old reputation as beer drinkers although an abund- ance of beer is obtainable.
 Practically all the cafes and wine rooms of Berlin are installing "American bars," and even the high priced cabarets, where once only best wines were served at tables for which a charge was made, now have long mahogany bars, against which the customer may lean, with his feet on a brass foot rail and drink as long as he has the price of drink or the bartender will trust him.
 There is no charge for a place at the bar but to sit at the tables it is compulsory to drink champagne, or some other wine of similar price, with proportionate profit to the pro- prietor.
 The consumption of champagne has outstripped all previous records during the past 12 months, mounting to more than 12,000,000 bottles. The principal rendezvous of the heavy and habitual champagne drinker is the night saloon,'' which does not open until late afternoon or early evening but continues serving its customers until early morning, all though the official closing hour is at 11:30 at night.
 publication of the statistics of champagne consumption recently brought a prompt demand fronS radi- cal socialists and labor organizations for more rigorous control of this traffic which, it was alleged, repre- sented &he privileges" secured by the profiteers and the moneyd for eigners who frequent the capital There is also a widespread demand for enforcement of the closing law.

Canada Would Welcome Immigrants U. 5.
 Rejects

Montreal, Aug. 2-Three thous- and people, who had planned to enli- grate to the United States. are strand ed in Antwerp, according to cable ad- striction act. Most of them are Poles. A steamer that sailed recent ly was scheduled to carry $50, but sailed with only 250. Steamers refuse to carry more than the monthly quota allowed by American law. They would be compelled to return the surplus to Europe at the companies expense.
 A suggestion has been made here that the steamers bring these people to Canada, dropping them en route to New York at St. Johns or Cue bee, Canada would welcome the set tiers the United States rejects. Mil lions of acres remain unsettled in Western Canada Here the Europeans would find welcome and homes. Can ada's greatest need is population and it's greatest asset land. The country is making a bid for agricultural set tiers.
 'The U. S. Restriction Act is bound to prove an immense benefit to Canada" said Colonel J. S. Dennis, of the Canada Pacific Railway, one of Canada's foremost authorities on i'm migration and colonization. ''The new law has created a wonderful op- portun;ty for Canada. People who now desire to leave European coun- tries are better type than the usual immigrants. They are substantial farmer people. If it were not for the disturbed conditions in Europe they would not think of leaving their na- tive land Large numbers of these home builders, barred from the Unit ed States, are turning to Canada. We expect heavy settlement in the West ern provinces in the next year,
