AMATEUR IN GAME
NOT ON SIDELINES,
SAYS PROF. PURDy

The Amateur Spirit" was the sub
ject of DR.. Alexander c. Purdy's open
ing address at the Young Friends Gen
eral Conference Friday night. The
Young Friends Conference, he stated,
lad special spirit that was not de-
pendent upon the teachers, or the at
tendance, or the place, for il had al
ways been such 1t was the spirit of
the amateur who loves his work, he
said
The amateur does not stay on the
sidelines and watch. He is in the
game himself, and if he is not actually
playing, he is in it in spirit. And be-
cause of their love of their task, they
are the ones that put the world ahead.
Amos, the prophet was an amateur,
in that he did not call himself a pro-
phet, but spoke from love. And Jesus
was considered the amateur always by
the professional religionists of his day.
In this conference the amateur
spirit means that everyone gets into
: the things of the meeting, that there is
a greater respect for the ideas than
for the person, and that all bring their
united wisdom and strength to the
common good.
| All Can Know God
! "a belief that every person can know
God for himself, that every man plays
! in the game, is evident in the confer
ence, as in the Friends church. he
declared.
1T is fundamental TO believe that
/ the way of Christ is applicable to all
men, and that the Christian way is
the normal way of living.
I, Christianity has been a success
where tried. but it has not been tried
in wide enough fields In the realms
of international relations, in business
relation, and industrial relations. it
] still has to be applied in a broad way
1T is our conviction that there is no
aspect in which Christianity does not
apply.
And finally, the amateur spirit OF
the conference expresses itself in crea
tive action. The spirit of the confer
ence is to throw yourself into the
game"
In introducing Dr. Purdy, Paul Fur
mas, chairman of the Young Friend:
board said that close to 1000 youna
Friends had felt the common touch OF
: the conferences.

WALL STREET ECHOES
STILL RESOUNDING TO
ALLAN RYAN'S CRASH
(Bv United Press)


NEW YORK, July 22.-While the
jangle and crash of Allan A. Ryans
fortune still woke the echoes OF wall
street and the same sounds were De-
ing heard less distinctly in the bright
light and luxury belts of Broadway
and Fifth avenue, the second guessers
in the clubs and brokers rooms OF
New York were saying Ryan got
fresh and the powers nailed him" For
Ryan's defiance of the stock exchange
governors and his consequent expuls-
ion were long regarded as incidents
which would portend nothing but dis
aster for the most spectacular oper-
ator' in the current history OF the
street.
Ryan defied the stock exchange and
Ryan finally came down with the
crash of a cook stove on a concrete
courtyard. Rated millionaire 50
times over but short time since, ne
now lists his cash assets in the bank
ruptcy proceedings began Friday as
Just SIS. which wasn't even small
change in the vest pocket of the Allan
RYAN whom Wall street looked upon
with strange misgivings when he was
running Stutz from $3.50 to nearly $500
share.
Formerly Conservative.
Prior to the birth of the war baby
stocks, Ryan was regarded as shrewd
conservative worker. His father be
fore him, old Thomas Fortune Ryan
was one of the very powers" himself
and to him his own sons irreverence
for the governors must have been
scandalous thing had he lived to wit
ness the episode.
Old Thomas Fortune was not above
turning a spectacular coup, but MS
operations we're turns of financla
strategy verging on wizardy, and were
not like young Allan's feat with the
Stutz Motors stock, achieved by malr
force
AIlan's conservatism sloughed away
when he began to make his fortune II
war babies" yet he was either con
sistently lucky or sagacious, for III
steadily made money in large amounts
Clicked "Shorts"
RYAN choked large number o
short sellers when he turned his at
tention to Stutz. He secured contro
of all the outstanding issues, and
CHANGED that some powerful exchang
interests were on the short side o
the market He was threatened VIII
financial doom, it was said, but defle'
them all and forced some of the short
to settle at $3.50 share.
Then Stutz was thrown off the eS
change, and Ryan, with much OF nj
fortune tied up in it, had no medium
through which to dispose of his hold
ings. Suddenly the paper OF his otne
industrial interests became unwelcom
at the banks.
Now Ryan is a personal bankrupt o.
his own petition, listing liabilities 10
such things as theatre tickets. rellg
Gus articles and his wife's clothing.
Failure of Ryan does not involv
his brokerage houses and other inter
ests. 1t was learned.

RAILROAD STRIKERS
STANDING S0LIDLY,
SPEAKERS DECLARE

Because of the large crowd and the
limitations of the hall, scores of peo-
pie were unable to gain entry to the
public meeting which was held by the
Federated Shopcrafts at its headquar-
tiers in the l. o. o. F. building Fri
day night. The crowd which attended
the meeting was estimated at over
500.
The meeting was addressed by In
ternational Representative G. A. Doyle
of Indianapolis, of the International
| Association of Machinists; General
Chairman Hart, of the New York Cen
| trail lines, also of Indianapolis, and R.
/ F. Worries, carman, of Richmond
Mr.. Doyle said that each hour the
| strike is becoming more effective. He
declared that railroads are annulling
! trains, that freight service has been
dropped to almost nothing, and that
coal supplies are nearly exhausted
He prophesied that within few days
industries all over the United States
will be paralyzed:
Our men are standing like a stone
wall" he said, and they intend to
stand until justice is done by the
shopcrafts and all railroad labor in the
| United States
Asks Decent WAGE
Mr.. Hart said in part: We are de
sirous of informing the people what
this is all about. We want the people
to know what we stand for and want
them to know the truth. l want to
say to you, who represent the public
walks of life, that the trade union is
founded upon what the government is
founded upon; the same principle thai
Christianity is founded upon, if you
please"
We believe that the railroadel
should have wages to meet with the
American standard of living as wei
as anyone; that he should have the
same opportunity to educate his chill
dren if he so desires. Our boys ant
girls are entitled to some of the gooC
things in life just the same as tn
other fellows boys and girls. We ar
not asking that we be made million
aires. All that we are asking for i
a decent living wage and that W
demand"
He stated in conclusion that tn
shop crafts did not want to strike bu
that they were forced into it and tina

LONDON, July 22.-Uncertainty re-
garding Italy's attitude toward the
Palestine and Syria mandates NAV
cause the council of the league of ma
tions, which has been in session here
all this week, to postpone decisive ac-
ton on the draft mandates until its
next meeting in September. Such ac-
ton would disappoint the British gov
eminent at whose instance the pres
ent extraordinary session of the coun-
Gil was convened
The council is encouraged by the re-
ported willingness of the Preparations
commission to suspend its claims
against Austria for 20 years. 1t is un-
derstood that the Is governments in.
volved have consented to waive their
| indemnity and other demands on Aus
tria until the country regains her fl
/ nanclal and economic foothold. Aus
trla thus will be free to pledge her
customs duties, her salt monopoly and
/ other assets as security for loans.
Same Old Story.
A statement issued by the informa
ton department of the league today
| said: I'VE are getting rather tired
of hearing that Austria is on the brink
J Of collapse. She has been on tbs
brink of collapse every few month:
for the last three years and she may
live long time in that state The
/ danger is not really i'll financial col
lapse but political troubles
THE danger is that a government
may come into power which is no
| prepared to spend all its time in prop
| ping up the rotten finances of Austria
| and which may try to cut the knot b!
claiming to unite with Germany. l
| that happens, central Europe will b.
a melting pot.
/ The allies must settle among them
i selves some kind of a policy which
will enable Austria to have a govern
ment strong enough to enforce econ
omy ruthlessly. Until this is don
Austria will drift nearer and neare
to Bolshevik conditions and to close
union with Germany. This comb
nation will menace the whole equilit
rum of Europe"
