THE movement is an attempt on

be forced to enter eastern or north
ern colleges. 1t is an honest effort
TO raise the educational standard Of
the south, and through christian lead'
ership give the children of the south
the very best that any school or
college in the land can offer. Sim
liar movements have already been
by other Protestan. de-
"To this end the Christian Educa.
ion movement seeks to arouse mem
bers of the Southern Methodist
church to the importance of fully
squipping and undermining the
1inety-one educational plants main
aimed and controlled by the church.
It is interested in better pay for
,eachers and the fullest development

Young people enrolled as students.
IN other words, leaders Of the move

make good their slogan that Chris
ian education is the complete cdu'

sRevise Death List

Tulsa, June 3.-The count on the
number of deaths in Tulsa's race war
has revised the figures for total
of 30, 1t being thought possible that
this may be increased somewhat as
a few of the 300 wounded may die,
1t is thought.
Failure of the first high estimates
of the number killed to stand up
was accounted for by the fact that
no bodies were found in a compre-
hensive search Of the devastated
district. 1t had been believed, ac-
cording to local officials, that many
negroes were shot to death and their
bodies burned as their homes were
fired.
Tulsa has regained its normal ap-
pearance, the regular policemen pa
trolling the downtown district, and
the martial law declared yesterday

permit business houses and theatres

WHAT A CHANGE THREE YEARS
HAVE WROUGHT

Three years ago the armies of Eng
land and France were on the verge of
overwhelming defeat. They were being
cut to pieces by the Kaiser's victor
ious legions. Then one day there
came down that old shell torn road
that leads into Chateau Thierry a
column of men carrying starry flags,
the like Of which had never before
been seen in any of the battles of
the world war. This column marched
on to the firing line 1t rolled back
the armies of the Central Powers.
The achievements of those men and
their comrades on other battle fields
saved both England and France from
humiliating and disastrous defeat.
Saved them from being German vas
sci states, and their gratitude was
boundless at that time.
1t seems hardly possible that the
nations thus saved from destruction
would now be scheming to deprive
Americans of the right to use small
island in the Pacific for cable land
ing purposes.
