PUSH PLANS TO
CLOSE Welfare
DRIVE AUGUST |
Special Committees From Societies
to Raise $4,000 Balance
Trustees Organize.

! The executive committee of the
community welfare drive will close
the campaign to raise the $50, 1000
necessary to receive the $4,000
promised by seven citizens of Rock
Island, Aug. l. 1t also arranged a
Canvass to raise a balance of $10,-
600 needed. Trustees of the fund
at meeting last night effected an
organization to collect the sub
scriptions pledged by Rock Island
ers to the fund
Workers had succeeded in secur-
ing cash and pledges to the amount
of $4,000 in spite of many discour-
aging conditions, and in the opin-
ion of members OF the executive
committee they should not be ask
ed to contribute any more time and
energy.
Their places will be taken by
committees representing every pub
lie welfare agency which will share
in the proceeds of the campaign,
and their special task will be to
raise the balance of $4,000 needed
to put the fund lover the top"
Chairman Beers sad today that
developments of the past two or
three weeks indicated that the ne
costly for the fund is more appar-
ent than ever. Calls for aid are
becoming more numerous. he said,
and unless the balance of 100000
is raised the welfare agencies will
be greatly handicapped in their eff
forts to be of help to the needy.
He expressed himself as being
very hopeful that the $4,000 would
be raised by the new solicitors. Let
everyone who can give, contribute
to the fund" he said, "and we will
close our books Aug. 1, with sue

Saving the Worlds Birds.

Because of the passage OF the plu-
mage bill by Parliament Great Brit

the United States for the protection
OF migratory birds in their flight be.
tween the United States and Canada,
becomes more closely associated with
the movement fort conservation of
the worlds bird supply.
Under the provisions of the new
British law the plumage of the Afri-
can ostrich and the feathers Of the
elder duck alone may be imported
into the United Kingdom. The pro-
hibition extends to the carcasses of
birds which have not been Invested
OF their plumage. The ban does not,
however, extend to feathers which
are worn as personal adornment or
which it can be shown are intended
for individual use and not for COM
mercial purposes. The bill, which
was fought by the feather trade, was
introduced as the result of a cam.
paign of education >as to the cruelty
accompanying the process of pluck.
ing feathers from living birds OF
paradise, the osprey and other orna-
mental birds.
That the bird conservation move
ment is spreading will be welcome
news to lovers OF nature everywhere.
IL Is hoped that treaties similar to
that with Great Britain will be ar.
ranged with the countries in Latin
America, whittier many Of our mi
gratory birds take wing every au-
tumn. In support OF such treaties
first hand data will be available as
result of research work done dur.

Real, Self-Reliant Americans:

When the Gloucester fishing boat
Flora l.. oliver with load of sword
fish for Boston grounded in Massa-
chusetts Bay one day last week her
crew did not sit down in idleness to
wait for rescuers.
Instead they hurried their fish into
dories and rowed four miles to land.
Once ashore they cashed in on their
catch.
They made sure that though the
Flora L. Oliver might be lost the
fruits of a months fishing should
not be. When misfortune overlook
them they made the best of the situ-
alton in which they were placed. 1t
is gratifying to know that after their
cargo had been sold these men who
were willing to work hard were able
to save their schooner. Probably she
is now at sea on another trip, from
which THE New YORK HERALD hopes
she may return with a full fare to
find stripped market eager to pay
top prices for her fish.
These Massachusetts fishermen are
not unusual in their self-reliance.
Most Americans are able and willing
to take care of themselves even in
emergencies. If lawmakers would
only recognize this fact the nation
would be spared a great mass of ex-
pensive fool legislation.

Advertising Religion.
Clergymen Advised to Adapt Their
Methods to Current Ideas.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Your
editorial article entitled Advertising
Religion" contains the interesting in
ference that Jesus was not only con-
yersant with the ethics of advertising,
as we understand the art. but likewise
made a practical application Of its
principles. All of which is true. His
instructions to the man who had been
relieved of the unclean spirit embodies
the keynote of every publicity campaign,
go home and tell your friends"
The term publicity, however, seems to
ft the public demonstrations of Jesus
better than the term advertising. for the
former buys good will. while the latter
sells goods. At the same time the terms
are not to be thumbtacked according
to any hard and fast rules. because
publicity also buys i'll will.
The Sermon on the Mount was also
a splendid piece of publicity work. 1t
is prefaced by the statement. "And see
ing the multitudes He went up into q
mountain" All through the scripturai
record of the life of Jesus we find that
the multitude inspired Him and In
variably it was the signal for His
demonstrative work. He understood the
psychology of the crowd, and scarcely a
miracle was wrought unless crowds
were present.
Upon another occasion "IIe went into
a ship and sat: and the whole multi
tude stood on the shore" And IL any ol
our metropolitan clergymen thinks that
this was not good publicity let him try II
-I~ lat
The chances are that quotations from
that particular sermon will be slithered
along the wires from New York to San
Francisco.
In our day and generation the null
titude is reached by the press. As
Robert II. Davis has summarized it in
his famous Printing Press" classic. II
am the tireless clarion Of the news
when 1 speak a myriad OF people listen
to my voice.
1t is the roar OF the rotary that makes
1t so difficult TO hear the voice from
the pulpit, which Is in all probability
delivering a high grade message, and
It is an error to say that the quality
of that message Is to blame for lack
of church attendance. The fact is that
the multitude is not gathering In that
direction, albeit people are still quite
willing to follow any man who will lead
them.
The pulpit has no occasion to rail at
the press because of the immutable laws
OF psychology. Sense impressions fol-
low the lines Of least resistance.
Let our clergy remember that we
are living in the day of the eye rather
than the ear. and that we are prone,
even at this very hour. to scrap the
type impression for the picture story,
method of teaching which Jesus re-
duced to perfection in His parallels
some OF which are of telegraphic brevity.

Air Lifeboat Nears Test.
British Craft Is Designed for Sea
Rescue Work.
From the Birminoham Neios

From the Birmingham NeiOs.
The first lifeboat of the air, which
has been built with great secrecy. Is
to be launched soon in England,
After the official trials 1t will go
through a series of tests with the Brit
ish feet. IL II proves to be satisfactory
a large number of the craft on a much
larger scale will be constructed.
The design is the outcome OF three
years OF secret research and tests. The
flying lIfcboat will be able to reach
vessel In distress dt a speed OF more
than one hundred miles an hour, and 1t
Is claimed that II will be able TO ride
through the toughest storm with the
confident safety OF an Atlantic liner.
The boats are able to taxi along the
water.
Their seaworthiness Is to be tested by
sending the first experimental ship out
with the navy. where II Is to remain at
sea for several days without any
mother ship.
The wing span OF the one now near
ing completion IL one hundred and
forty feet. Safety In the most violen.

of the American Institute Of Architects.

tectural display at the Salon here.
French officials are anxious not only
to have an exhibit of American paint
ings and sculptures, but also all sorts
of textiles, specimens of decorative art,
mechanical drawings, wood carvings.
glassware. pottery and hand painted
china--in fact, everything which by
even the greatest stretch of imagination
might be called artistic.
Plans for the exhibition are we'll under
way already, and Mr.. Levi Is returning
to America next week to develop the
American end of his display.
1t has not yet been decided where It
will be held, but the Government had
proffered the choice OF either the wooden
barracks opposite the 1nvalides which
are used every year for the Paris fair.
or a five story office building which
can be surrendered by some ministerial
department before next summer.

exhibit together and transporting 1t II

Two Useful Senators.
And Other Men Like Them Who May
Sit in the Senate Of A. d. 1000.

To THE New YORK HERALD: Your
editorial commendation of Senator
Borah pleases at least one of your read
ers. The fact is that there are two.
both among the younger men, who can
fairly be considered, without disparage-
ment to others, to be about the most
useful and able members of the United
States Senate. These are Smoot of Utah
and Borah of Idaho.
Both work hard. Smoot has so fa-
miliarized himself with the mechanics
of our Government that he Is a con-
ceded authority among his fellows. A
mighty good Senator And Borah is the
closest student in the body. Day after
day l have seen him at time of ad-
journment start for home with a bundle
of books to be devoured before morn
ing. He haunts the Congressional Lii
brary at other times.
And don't forget One is from Utah
and the other from Idaho. A little more
than century ago there were Ameri-
cans who thought the destiny of our
great country was already fulfilled. that
it must never acquire more territory.
And when Jefferson acquired most of
the great territory from which Senators
Smoot and Borah come they were for
impeaching that far seeing President.
like to think that the accomplish
ments of our wonderful nation are only
In their beginning. That it will peace
fully swell its borders until 1t has alb
sorbed most of this northern continent
and brought prosperity and quiet and
democracy to regions now unable to pro-
vide such conditions. And 1 like to
imagine that In the year 1000, let us
say. some one will write to THE New
York HERALD of that not so distant day
and commend the Senators from the
great States of Sonora and Chihuahua
and Guatemala as the most able uphold
crs of American traditions, the most
useful members of the United States
Senate. STEVEN B. AYREs.

Lesson Of Jack M0nson's Death.

-. To THE NEW YORK HERALD: 1t seems
to me that the tragic story of the death
of Jack Monson. who saved the Lost
Battalion. is lost upon US IL we do not
consider that his life might perhaps
have been saved IL he had had rest and
nourishing food; but left without re-
sources in a cheap lodging house his
death was sure.
! cannot believe that the strong. able
bodied men who marched up Broadway
demanding bonus would not be willing
to set to work as Jack Monson did and
to forego bonus provided the sick SOL
diers could be cared for, or at least they
would be willing to wait until the sick
