FUTURE WAR WILL
 BE BETWEEN WHITE
 AND YELLOW RACES
Bishop of Chelmsford Pre- diets World Conflict Un- less Christian Principles Are Made to Underlie In ternational and National Life.

London, Dec. 2-The dread picture Of a world war in which the yellow races of the East will strive for dom 1natfon with the white people of the West was painted by the Bishop of Chelmsford recently in a sermon to the English Church Congress at Bir- mingham
 Do you know" he asked, "that the whole of the Christian community In England, the Church and the Non conformist bodies together, gave in a year toward spiritual work what was less than would keep the British Army in the field for six hours.
 This country last year." he added, spent -S1,s0O, O,0O0,00O in drink, more than S400, 100000 in tobacco and only s12,00O,0O0 on foreign missions. years we shall have a peril moving out from Asia. from China, from India and Japan. What is going to be the result God alone knows.
 "The next war will be the yellow against the white races Think of the last war and it's horrors! It will pale into significance before a war of colorI
 There is nothing that can prevent of Christianity be made to underlie international and national life. If the world does not give it's sons and daughters to the cause of the Church venture to predict your grandchil- dren will have to fight in this great world war Of color.
 Only Christ can cement the na- tions. The true solution,'' conc1ude q the Bishop, t'Hes, not at the Confer cils Of London and Paris, but on Cal Varv,''

TO SLEEP WELL, JOIN
 WHALES ON TOP OF OCEAN
Los Angeles, Dec. 2

Los Angeles, Dec. 2 - To sleep well, sleep on the ocean.
 Int whales do, and sleep well after sunrise sometimes.
 Captain F. J. Holland, of the Paci- fife mail liner Cuba. thinks a sea-traf- fife officer should be placed on duty off Point Arguello. He hates to have to bump whales from the midst of their fairy1and of dreams with his ship in order to clear a passage from San F'ransico to Los Angeles.
 Captain Holland, on a visit to Los Angeles harbor, told 8 story of how he rang the breakfast bell for seven husky whales iD the Pacific ocean.
 They were big fellows, "a anging from 50 to 90 feet in length. The seven whales were 'tsnoozing'' peace fully on top of the water as the Cuba bore down upon them. The captain said he didn't hear them snoring, but he knew they were sleeping, because when whales sleep they ride high ir the water.
 Evidently however, one whale was afflicted with insomnia, for as the vessel drew near he shook himself into action and proceeded to pour wa. ter on the others. -
 Aroused from their sIunIbers under the rays of the early morning sun, the seven whales scampered away, froth- ing the water with their rushes and seeming to be protesting against the rude steamship that had so suddenly broken their beauty maps.

CHURCH FILLED
 WITH GUESTS

In the little Gothic Methodist Epis-
 copal church in Long Hill, one or

 Miss Hauslafb has been for years an active worker in the little church and most of it's congregation assem- bled to see her married. Long be- l fore the hour of the ceremony, 7:3O, | it was necessary to throw open the | Sunday school room in the back, to l accommodate the guests.
 1 The bride young and lovely in her l wedding gown, marched up the aisle l on the arm of her father who gave | her in marriage. The gown itself was of white georgette crepe with band | ings of satin, and she wore veil of | tulle, caught to her head in cap shape | with brides roses. Her bouquet was ] of the same white roses in shower ef- | feet.
 | Preceding the bride was the brides | maid, Miss Elsa Hamann of Bridge | port, who wore p1nk geOrgelte gown | and hat and carried Ward roses. | MT. MacDowalrs best man was | George Hanna and the ushers were | Alexander Morrice, also of Bridge l port and George Hauslaib, brother of | the bride.
 | Mrs Linn B. Abbott plaed the we'd | ding marches. The church itself had | been attractively decorated for the | wed ding, the altar rail and reading | desk being banked with palms. laurel
 | and Christmas greeneries, among ! which had been placed punches of
 1 white and pink chrysanthemums and
 Cala lily plants in blossom.
 l Following the ceremony. about 30 | intimate friends and relatives of the | young couple proceeded to the home | of the bride where a reception and | an elaborate wedding supper were | served. Among the out of town guests at the supper were the Rev. | and Mrs. Poten and MT. and Mrs. l Harry Post of Meriden. Rev. and l Mrs. Proper were also guests. | MT. and Mrs. MacDowall left on | the 9:44 train from Bridgeport for | New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington where they will spend their honeymoon. The bride s going-away costume was of brown broadcloth, handsomely embroidered, | and her hat, also of brown. 1 When they return about the middle | of December, they will be lat home" | to their numerous friends in their | home on Black House road, Long | Hill, which MT. MacDowall has fitted | up for his bride.
