GERMAN LABOR FIRM
 FOR EIGHT-HOUR DAY

Berlin, Oct. 5.-Iabor organiza- tions have assumed a united front against the associations of officers and soldiers who are seeking to re- establish a monarchy and, in the campaign of propaganda which has followed, serious threats and charges and counter-charges have been made
 The Socialists and Communists and in fact all the ultra-radicals have en- listed in support of labor ito save unanimous in supporting the present government, they are of one mind in the belief that the monarchlsts must be completely eradicated.
 One of the chief arguments of the labor organizations in their agitation against the insistent propaganda of the monarchists is that a return to the old regime would mean the loss of the eight hour day which has been the workmans principal benefit Of the war and the revolution.
 The monarchists are meeting this argument with the assertion that un- der a monarchy the cost of living would be reduced at least by hall, and it is known that a certain per centage of the working population hard hit by low wages and high prices is listening /attentive1y to this appeal remembering pre-war condl- tions, when there was plenty Of food for all at prices which the poorest paid wage earner could pay.
 The controversy between these two factions has resulted in another 'class war" in which both sides have been preaching the doctrine of hate, tagonism to compromise. Many speakers on both sides have advo- cated resort to any sort of weapon and recent political murders have so observers who believe civil war is not improbable.

Phelps Claims Bible
 Most Interesting ..s Book In World

The Bridgeport lectures by Profes- Sor William Lyons Phelps, the Bible, are unique in the point of view, and in the treatment and will appeal to all who love good reading and are interested in human nature. The lec- lures are confined to the Old Testa- ment- Professor Phelps, uses the Authorised Version, the English translation made in 1911, and while treating the great Book with rever- ence, the lectures are not sermons nor theological, nor devotional; especially they will not treat of questions of the origin of the original texts, or of any disputed points in religious dostrines or ceremonies. The Bible is taken simply as the most interesting book in the world; as a profound revelation of the character of men and women; as an illustration of the most beautiful literary English style ever known.
 Professor Phelps believes that ev- erybody ought to know the Bible; that everyone ought to be familiar with the chief Bible characters: and with the most famous Bible stories. He there fore takes the Old Testament exactly as 1t stands, and brings out the his tory, humanity, wisdom, and poetry there so abundantly displayed. This is a course in literature and in hu- man nature-in the finest literature the world has ever seen, and in the most interesting persons in history
 As was the custom last year, the flrst ten minutes of each hour will be devoted to the consideration of some contem porary book.
 The forword at the first lecture on Monday, October IT, will consider Lytton trachey's Life of Queen Vic toria.
 The late Cardinal Gibbons, in com 1nentlng on Professor Phelps book Reading the Bible," after heartily welcoming the book, said that it was a great pity that Americans did not know the Bible as they did in former times, and hoped that the book would induce many Americans to take up the study of he

CARD INDEX MINISTER'S SUFFER
 IN COMPARISON
Dr. DOan EXtOllS Old-FaSh- toned Parsons Whose Chief Conc ern Was Preaching of Word.

Detroit, Oct. 1.-The minister who
 is occupied from morning to night
 with business of the church, what is called a good organizer. an efficiency
 expert who sells religion fared i'll by comparison with the d-fashioned
 parSon for whom there is no busi- ness except one great business of jus tice and love and no efficiency except
 the efficient ministering to the needs
 of a suffering humanity and the strengthening of a week humanity"
 Rev. Frank c. Doan of Iowa City told the General Conference of Uni tarian and other Christian Churches
 here today.
 There is the preacher who is a
 salesman and his job is to sell re-
 ligion to an unwilling and unconvinc-
 ed public,'' said Mr. Doan. His
 study with its filing cases, it's card
 catalogues, it's form letters and such
 things, look for all the world like the
 office of some up-to-date corporation
 colIoquial and business-hke. It must
 be said for him that he succeeds far
 oftener than his less progressive
 brother.
 ''On the other hand. here is a
 preacher who is a good deal of a dreamer. As a rule he has very little
 business sense to begin with and as the years of his ministry go by, he loses what little he had. He grows more and more helpless in the face of the innumerable details in which the modern minister so often finds
 himself entangled. He doesn't like these things. And, to tell the truth, deep down in his heart he does nor believe in them very much. To him the church isn't a business but what l the old-fashioned preachers used to | call a preaching station'-a, station on the highway of life from which "A1l honor to the minister who is the will and love of God to the null 1 titudes passing by.
 "This minister never builds up a | church. His life is too short for that and his strength is too limited. And anyway he doesn't know how. Once he is dead and gone, his church goes all to pieces, and all the kings horses and all the kings men, all the mas terful efficiency can't put it together | again.
 All honor to them mister who is not too stupid to learn the new ways of business and not too lazy to put some of the methods into practice. But, after all is said and done, this present world is going to be saved not by the great organizing but by the great preaching of the forces that l make for righteousness. It is going l to be led out of the wilderness in which it has lost itself not by any | Moses with all manner of rules and | regulations, even though these be en- | forced with a truly Mosaic efficiency | but by an Isaiah who can simply say ! to this generation, Thus saith the | Lord
 '"The minister's chief business to- | day as never tsefore is to minister. Al else, ads. form letters. and all the | rest is secondary and should be kep1
 sternly subservient to his great call
 ing. He is called-the ages past and | the ages to come call him-to keeE | alive within the souls of men the ! flame of the eternal"

 provinces have endured continual
 martyrdom. And yet by her own means, from day to day, the ruins are reviving; houses arise from the ising crops. The populations of the l devastated areas believe that they | can rely on the spirit of solidarity ot all those who have measured the | magnitude of their sacrifice and un- | derstood their unquestiona.ble right to the fullest reparations. A vast field of action is open for the demonstra- | tion of human brotherhood. These people who suffered martyrdo om while
 was at stake, deserve a fresh belief | in the joy of life. Besides shelter and
 bread they are entitled to peace and | happiness.

LEGION COMMITTEE
WOULD HURRY SOLOkS
-fBy Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-Members
of the executive committee of the
American legion here in a three-day
session planned to spend a large por-
ton of today at the capitol in confer
ences with members of congress in an
effort to expedite legislation for the
relief of disabled war veterans. While
the committee was in session yester-
day planning their pilgrimage to the
bill" congress was enacting hospltif-
ization bills in which the legion was
especially interested.
The legion is urging the appropria-
ton of a total of 100000 in five
bills for aiding disabled veterans, lay
ing aside temporarily their campaign
for the enactment of bonus legislation.
The committee, members were ex-
pected today to lay before members OF
congress their views on the need OF
consolidating the vocational training
and war risk bureaus and as much OF
the public health service as relates to
ex-service men. A bill now pending
proposing such a consolidation does
not meet with the approval of the pub
lie health service, members of the COM
mittee have declared, because they
said it removes certain perogatlves
and powers heretofore exercised by
the surgeon general of the public
health service and assigns them to
the director of a new department OF
the interior department"

ARMY ENLISTMENT BAR
UP BY SENATE ACTION
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-The bars
were up today against further enlist
ments in the army until the enlisted
strength automatically is reduced to
the 175.000 maximum authorized in
the joint resolution which the senate
Yesterday made law by duplicating
the action of the house in overruling
the presidential veto. The vote in the
senate was 81 to l, Senator Kirby.
Democrat, Of Arkansas, casting the
only opposing vote. Without await
ing Official notification of the senate's
action, Secretary Baker last night or
dered every army recruiting station in
the country TO close down on enlist
ments.
Army officers estimated today that
it would take nine months, or until
next Nov. l, to reduce the present en-
listed strength of approximately 213,-
600 to the required $4,000. Enact
ment of the army appropriation bill
now pending in the house, which pro-
vides for an army of only $50, 900 men
after July /, would necessitate long
er period of reduction to reach that
figure. The measure has been regard
ed as practically certain of passage by
the house, which was expected to take
final vote on it today.
