SUFFERING TO BRING
 GOOD, RUSSIANS THINK

WOOSTER, Ohio, April 18.-That the people of Russia stoically adhere to the belief that the world will be the better for their suffering after they find what they are seeking, , is the statement made by Don Low rie, Seville. Ohio. MT. Lowrie recent ly returned from Russia, where he spent three years in Y. M. c. A. work.
 Many streets in the larger cities in Russia are fenced off because the buildings, uninhabited are fast crumbIing and falling to pieces, MT Lowrie told students at Wooster College, during an address. He is a graduate of the college.
 The mother of a typical Russian family, that was in more than good circumstances before the days of Bolshevism, is giving piano lessons for such a fee as ten pounds of po- tatoes a month said MT. Lowrie. He declared that this woman's daugh- ter, who performed Red Cross work during the war, sells cakes on the streets for a living.
 One hospital in which MT. Lowrie did some work obtained only suf- ficient ether to permit one operation a month Other operations, he said, were performed regularly without any anaesthetic.

DENVER, April IS. - Plans are under way for return match be- tween Ted Hannigan, of Denver and Don Long, of Colorado Springs. to settle the Boy Scout featherweight boxing championship Of the Rocky Mountain region.
 Hannigan, who was "dethroned'' as champion by Long, in ten-round de- Cision bout here February Il, still claims the title on a technicality.
 Hannigan bases his contention on the grounds that Long refused to enter the. ring the night of the cham piOnship battle until the promoter of the show agreed to cut the rounds from three to tWo-minute sessions. The Boy Scout rules, which governed the go state that "the rounds shall be for three minutes each, with one minute intermission between rounds y

HAIRLlNE DECISION ON
 OWNERSHIP OF LIQUOR

CLARKSBURG, w. Va, April 1S.- It couldN not be determined in city court whether liquor found near Frank Olivet's house, on North Fifth street, belonged to him or a neighbor, so civil engineers were called in. They sur veyed the properties and found that the confiscated liquor was actually a few inches over the property line, and Olivet was dismissed on the hairline decision.

fear in very large measure. There fore, that stimulus is now inopera- tive. Either we must find another or discover some method of reviving the old one. But when we come to that choice the other conviction comes into play, namely, that fundamental Chris tion belief, quite apart from any of the questions on which the Christian bodies are divided, can supply clue to the solution of all the problems of politics, economics and citizenship.
 There is no intention to form a spe- cific Christian political party. Nothing could be farther from the minds Of those inaugurating the conference.
 "We are looking for the will of God. We believe that if people of varied oA- perience and common faith will come together, not to convince each other, but chiefly to learn from each other, and with the desire and expectation that God will guide their thoughts. we shall at the end genuinely know a great deal more of His will, which is another way of saying the truth about the world, than is now known to any group or individual.
 We do not expect to be guided to the formation of an ideal state. We do hope and expect to receive guid- ance which will direct the next steps that have to be taken"

BISHOP SAYS FEAR IS GONE;

Convention of Christians to Be Held to Study
 Ways and Means of Controlling Mankind

LONDON, April 1S.-Another. inter, national conference to diagnose the ills of the world and search for a rem edy is in the making.
 A conference of all the Christians of the world to put the weight of Chris tianity into a movement to cure the social, political and economic troubles of mankind is being proposed by re- ligious leaders of England who have already taken steps to secure support for the movement from the leading churchmen of America.
 Rt Rev. William Temple, Bishop of Manchester, is one of the leaders in the movement for a conference to be held in 1924, with preliminary conference in 1922 in Great Britain and the United States.
 "The conference springs from two convictions" Bishop Temple declared in explaining the movement. "The first is that civilization is really in need to discover it's own fundamental moral principles. To a great extent the methods that have brought us so far seem unable to carry us any far ther or to maintain the progress that has been won by them.
 "For example, to some extent at least, industry in the past depended on the stimulus of fear. The worker has protected himself against this

PEACE SUNDAY

In 26 nations, it is announced, a
movement has been promoted to
have either December 17tor Dec
ember "a celebrated as "Peace
Sunday. As the original mes
sage Of Jesus was peace on earth,
good viii to men,, an observance
Of this kind is closely related to the
Christmas spirit. 1t was never so
much needed rs now, when the
world is full Of hostile feeling and
more wars are threatened.
Some people think that the eff
fort to promote world peace is
chimerical, and can never be realiz-
ed. There always have been wars,
they say, and there always will be.
Such a point of yiewignores the
capacity that the leaamn race has
for improving its living conditions.
Years ago the earth was swept
by small pox epidemics. If you
had suggested to folks in those
times that this terrible scourge
could be controlled, people would
have said that there always had
been these plaques and there al
ways would be- But finally scien-
fists and medical men arise with
the energy and intelligence to
adopt measures to fight this peril,
and they have succeeded in prac-
ideally removing at from the earth.
Many other dangers, war includ
ed, could equally be got rid of, and
p. will be some day.
The war peril calls specially for
action since gas attacks have be-
-comc so terrible that whole cities
4might be wiped out. The war men
ace is intolerable, and if it con-
tinues life will not be worth liv-
ing.
What is needed is for the ma
tions to shy a spirit of decent re-
gard for each others interests,
sand not grab selfshly for advan-
tages for themselves The United
States should not disarm while
the world is in its present state of
mind. But it should be possible
to start such a movement of inter
national fraternity that within an
other generation war between two
civilized nations would be un-
thinkable.
