WAS NEW ONE ON KITCHENER
Great British Soldier Somewhat Out
of His Element When 1t Came
to Chaplains.

Here is Lord Kitchener story. told
by the anonymous author of 1.-THE Mir
rors OF Downing Street" Kitchener
was a soldier and absorbed in his pro-
fession. Details outside of his ruling
passion annoyed him.
During the early days of the war
Lloyd George went to him at the war
Office and asked the appointment of
UNCONVENTIONAL chaplains for the vori-
Gus sects of the army.
Kitchener had no interest in chan
ialns. He regarded thea as negII-
gible factor in the fighting machine.
He opposed the appointments. Llovd
George insisted, especially with respect
TO Presbyterians. Kitchener finally
yielded and picked up his pen.
Very WELL, he said, you shall have
a Presbyterian" Then a faint smile |
lighted his serious face. LET me see

Says 7-Year Limit
Ratification Kills
Dry Amendment

Washington, March 21-An entire
ly new attack on the validity of the
prohibition amendment, based on the
requirement that it be ratified with
in seven years, was made today in
the Supreme court.
The attack was made in a brief
filed by counsel for J. A. Dillon of
San Francisco, charged with viola
ton of the prohibition enforcement
act. Dillon is seeking a. writ of
habeas corpus.
The provision attacked was first
offered by then Senator Harding
when the amendment was being pro-
posed in the Senate.
The section making the entire ar
ticle imperative unless ratified with
in seven years, the brief asserts
specifically violates Article of the
Constitution, which gives Congress
no power to impose a limit on rati-
f1cation, cor to otherwise attempt to
control what the legislatures of the
states shall do in their delibera-
tions."
The brief quoted Senator Hard
ing in offering the provision as hav-
ing CLEARLY stated that his vote for
the resolution was conditioned on this
provision being approved" and
| quoted Senator Borah as having call
ed attention then to the unconstitu-
| tiona!ity of the section.

of New York after a twelve round
bout in Madison Square Gardens here
tonight. Jackson weighed 1872 IL

The boxing in Madison Square
Garden tonight was for the benefit of
the suffering poor of ireland and
netted a sum estimated at more than
$4,000, exclusive of donations made
by contestants and collection taken
before the start of the fight, between
Jackson and Kansas
Kid Norfolk, New York colored
heavyweight, who knocked out Jack
Ward of Philadelphia in the third
round of a ten round preliminary,
donated his share of the purse-S2,-
500.
Sammy Siegar of New York, who
received the judges decision over Ar
tie Root of Cleveland, after a ten
round bout, gave $1,000 which he was
to have received for his share.
At the end of 10 rounds between
Jack Sharkey and Midget Smith, both
of New York, the referee declared
the bout draw after the judges dis
agreed. Sharkey who was one and a
half pounds over the 12O-lb limit, and
Smith donated their $3.50 forfeit to the
Irish fund

recently by knocking out Richie

LOATH TO
GIVE UP HIS JOB

North Bergen, n. j.. March 21.--The
story of how Rev. Ernest Whitcomb,
pastor of the Beulah Heights Mission
of the Church of Jesus, yesterday
preached for six hours straight and
even munched his supper in the pull
pit before surrendering the rostrum
to his duly elected successor. became
known here today when five parishion-
ers loyal to MIR. Whitcomb were or
dered arraigned on charges of disor-
de0rly conduct.
When the new pastor Rev. Harold
M. Moss of Springfield. Mass, arrived
at the mission to take cahrge, he
found Mr.. Whitcomb preaching. Mr..
Moss did not desire to interrupt the
service, but nevertheless called for
two church officers and two police
men. Then he waited for Mr.. Whit
comb to end his sermon.
But Mr.. Whitcomb preached from
p. M. until P. NJ, and many of his
congregation stayed with him. Final
ly the new pastor called on the old
to resign and get out" at the same
time motioning toward the policemen.
Mr.. Whitcomb then stopped preach
ing, the five members of his flock
placed under Arrest were alleged not
to have surrendered so meekly.

CENTER-The supper and enter
tainment given on Friday evening by
the Winthrop Center school was we'll
attended and it is thought about SIS
will be realized after the expenses are
deducted. This money is to go
towards a Victrola for the school.
The entertainment which followed
the excellent supper consisted OF
scongs, recitations, exercises and
dialogues, in which each child took
his or her part in a most pleasing
manner, deserving of praise. A
very pretty feature of the evening
was the exercise, ",The Coming of the
Flowers" in which about 10 chill
dren, ranging in years from three to
10. took part. The costumes were all
made of crepe paper and IN color
and shape as nearly like the petals
of the flowers as possible. With caps
to match, the little wearerS surely
reminded one of real flowers. Spring.
Nav and Summer were represented
by Virginia Martin, Helen Lovely
and Lillian Flag, respectively, each
one taking her part WELL being be-
comingIy and appropriately dressed
for the season she represented. Each
season or month called the flowers
belonging to her by name and as
each name was called the flower
child came forward, bowed and made
a response in verse. Altogether the
exercise was very pretty and well
done. A dialogue which was clever
and amusing was given by the Pri-
mary grade. 1t was entitled Mother
Goose at Home The part of Moth
err Goose was we'll taken by Lillian
