URGED PREPARATION
BaccalauTeate Sermon By DR..
Stevenson.

The baccalaureate services, held
at the Methodist church last
Sunday evening were well attend
ed. Half the middle section was
reserved for students, and class
colors festooned across the choir
emphasized the significance of the
occasion.
The invocation and scripture
reading, by Rev. J. c. Harvey, and
songs by the congregation and
choir, were followed by the sermon,
delivered by Rev. DR.. w. A..
Stevenson of Spokane.
DR.. Stevenson spoke of oppor-
tunity and preparation for oppor-
tunity. He mentioned numerous
persons of ordinary native ability
achieving renown by hard work
and thorough preparation in their
chosen lines. Ferdinand Foch, he
said, was a present day example.
This French commander, he
pointed out, graduated from seven
military schools and the thorough
training enabled him to win the
first battle of the Marne, which the
speaker declared was the turning
point of the great war. He said
this battle was won in the military
school rather than on the battle
field. He urged the students to
choose their vocations and by
thorough preparation endeavor to
excel and be ready for the oppor
tunities of life.
DR.. Stevenson reminded the
students of the succession, step by
step, of thought, deed, habit,
character, destiny, up or down,
according to whether the guiding
thought is good or bad.
AS individuals have opportuni-
ties, so, he said, have nations.
Referring to the rise of the Japan
ese and their coming clash with
America, he said this nation has
its opportunity in cementing the
friendship of China by saving the
starving millions in that country.
When the war with Japan comes,
he said, we will be assured land
ing place in China.
The speaker quoted verse in i'm
pres ing the importance of faith
fulness to ones trust and coming
clean and true through every
struggle of life.

Move Rests With
Allies, Wirth Says
Asks if Worlds Financiers
Will Place Money in Pot
That Lacks Bottom Hopes
to Make January Payment

BERLIN, Dec. 4 (By The Associated
Press) Chancellor Wirth, addressing
the newspapers to-day, said it would
be delightful ito turn their eyes across
the Atlantic and also cross-channel,
where the discussion of great problems
was in progress" but he would for
near their hearts. He reiterated, how
ever, Germany's willingness to fulfill
her obligations, adding:
"1s there anybody in the world who
thinks it possible to squeeze dry like
lemon people like the Germans? /
know not how our late adversaries con-
template continuing their policy in the
coming year. We will in the next few
days carry out our sincere intentions
by supplying materials, so far as credit
on the basis of such materials is pos
sible and their delivery economically
possible. But the decision whether
there are in the world financiers who
are ready to put their money into the
reparations pot--a pot without bot
tom--rests not with the German gov
ernment, not even purely with German
industry and finance, but with finan-
ciers not resident in Germany.
"We must, therefore, await develop-
ments during the coming week with
patience. Whether the results will en-
able us to tide over January and Feb
ruary lies not with us, lies rather in
the question whether. everywhere where
economy is the subject OF thought, the
isolation Of eastern Europe, the econo-
mic prostratior of Austria and Hun
gary and the succession states and the
collapse of the economic life, particu
larly the waning purchasing power, Of
60,oo0,000 Germans, are recognized as
q world danger"

France Not Militaristic.
Bishop Blake Declares
Head of Methodist Episcopal
Church There Tells Conditions
TO Chelsea CONGREGATION

Bishop Edgar Blake, who has charge
of the work of the Methodist Episcopal
Church in France, spoke last night at
Chelsea Methodist Episcopal Church,
17Sth Street and Fort Washington
Avenue. He said that Premier Brands
speeches here on disarmament voiced
the sentiment of the French people.
France was ready to disarm, he said,
but first insisted that its safety be
guaranteed by powers which were
capable of making good the guaranty
France was maintaining an army now,
he said, not for imperialistic reasons,
but because it feared Germany, which
already had invaded France twice in
fifty wears and in another fifteen years
would have three times the man power
OF France.
1t was his opinion, he said, that the
United States ought not to ask France
20 repay the loans which this country
had made to it. France was spending
now twice what it's revenues yielded,
he said, and was unable to pay the
loans at present and might never be
able to-

that on their introduction it was
granted seat on the Philadelphia
Stock Exchange. Branch offices were
then opened in Philadelphia, Stamford
and other cities, and elaborately fur
nished main Offices occupied the entire
thirteenth floor at "a Broadway"
No suspicion of the business the firm
was doing arose until August, the
statement continues, when the New
York Stock Exchange issued an order
prohibiting its members from engaging
in certain transactions.
"Then," the statement goes on, "came
the voluntary bankruptcy of Milton
Helm & Co. Rcassuring state
ments were made. Nothing was
done in the proceedings, however.
Helm has not yet been adjudicated
bankrupt, nor has he filed schedule
of his assets and liabilities, as required
My law. and of course, he has not
been submitted to any examination.
The only information given to
Helms creditors was that he lost their
money because. during his absence on
his Office and sold 10000 shares cf
Mexican Petroleum short at a time
when it went from Sd y to 1l5. and that
besides this Helm had carried some
Young boy friends on his books with
out requiring them to put up margin
and that his boy friends had al un-
fortunate habit of getting on the wrong
side of the market.
"Tnese stories, of course, were not
told under oath. Helms attorneys
called meeting of all creditors on
November IA. This meeting was ad
dressed by Frederick Henley, who told
the creditors that the liabilities of
Milton Helm & Co. were S350,oo0 and
that there was only some $4,000 actual
cash on hand. He said that bank
ruptcy proceedings, if they were con-
tinued, would be very costly and would
leave only per cent for the Helm
creditors, but if the creditors would
compromise their claims they would
get 10 per cent cash and Helms S unsc-
cured notes for Is per cent more.
| '"The creditors did not like this and
told Mr.. Henley they wanted to do a
! little Investigating before they reached
an final decision.'
The creditors organized by clecting a
committee, composed of l. b. Glueck-
field, chairman. and George K. Olney,
/. T. Flatto, M. N. Slotnick, Abraham B.
Keye and Mrs. Anna Topper, all of New
! York, and the five first named attor-
news; Justus Fennell, an attorney OF
dent of the Investors Protective Serv-
ice, of Philadelphia. Tho statement
continues:
THE committee met on November 10,
/ but neither Helm, Mrs. Helm nor their
attorney put in q promised appearance.
| The committee then went ahead eX-
amining former Helm employees, Helm
book records and auditors at work on
the Helm books.
'The first startling information was
that the young boy friends of Heinz
really were on his books and really
had lost lots of money. Then George
Tabor former Helm employee, in
formed the committee that there were
several fictitious names on the books
which were used by the firm. The
auditor employed by the receiver pro
duced the records and verified Tabor
The auditor furthermore declared that
he had no way Of telling what those
accounts were until he called on Helm
himself for an explanation, and wa-
