CHURCH TRAINING NIGHT.
Local Methodists Plan Program of Church
Activity

At a meeting of the official board OF
the Methodist church Monday evening the
church made plans for a unique program
of church activity, known as Church
Training Night. The plan. in brief, calls
for a light supper served at cost IN the
vestry every Friday evening from u TO
6. 30. followed by brief social period with
community singing. then three-quarters OF
an hour of training in some subject per
tanning to Kingdom building. such as
Christian stewardship, personal eyangei-
ism. life service, or home and foreign
missions The study period viii then be
followed by the church prayer meeting at
the usual hour. The idea of Church
Training night, while comparatively new.
has been tried in a sufficient number of
places to justify its adoption by the local
church as Il part of its working program.
The opening date will be Friday. NOV:
-. Inasmuch as the general subject OF
tie next unit of worship is Christian
Stewardship, this will be the subject for
study at the training class. The official
board authorized the purchase of %
copies of l.. +. LOvejoy's textbook. Tx
cursionS in Stewardship, for use IN the
class. This book consists of u series Of i've
outline studies in this prominent Chris
tian subject and will be covered ON five
consecutive weeks under the leadership
Of the pastor.

FAR EASTERN PROBLEMS.
Continued from Page ID

The naval experts committee of tie
FIVE powers held its airst meeting and
compared impressions on details Of the
American reduction plan accepted yester-
day in spirit and principle by ali the
powers.
France took the first step yesterday
toward bringing the question of land arm
aments, Of armies, before the Washing
ton conference.
In concurring for France in tEe essen
tial principles of the American proposals
regarding naval establishments, Premier
BRAND touched upon the army problem
a. far more vital to France. BY agree
ment M. BRAND probably at a public
session of the conference later this week,
viii present most fully" as Secretary
Hughes stated, the views of France with
regard to the subject of land ornaments,
which we must discuss.
There was no intimation in the re-
marks of NJ. BRAND that he had a def
mite plan for reduction of ornaments 70
suggest. He did say, however. that he
was satisfied that the conferees would
be convinced that France, after the ne
cessities of safety and life have been adj
eduately secured, harbors no thought
whatever of disturbing the peace of the
world"
VI. Brands statements were construed
generally as showing MS purpose 70 eA-
plain fully why France reguards it nee
essary to retain the great force in her
armies. As the nation with the largest
army, the premier pointed out. it was ap-
propriate for her to take that question
up. but neither at the conference nor in
any other quarter. is there suggestion
J that any such sweeping proposal for re
I duetion of armies is to be expected as the
naval plan put forward by the United
| States. .-

CARNATIONS should engage in politics,
both state and national, and keep a vigil

Washington. Charles S. Barrett. presi.
dent of the National Farmers union, told

We cannot ignore the fact, he said,
that it was through one of the agencies

Der of commerce. the national manutac-
turers' association, the packers and other
.aggregations of capital, the federal re-
serve board would not have dared to dis
regard agriculture as it did last year.

federal cooperative law be put on the
statute books. something which enables
farmers collectively to buy and sell with
out the constant dread of arrest and i'm
