THE GOVERNMENT CAMP FOR
YOUNG MEN BEGINS JULY ~

Mr.. Fred S. Mcdonald of this
place has been appointed county
chairman for Morgan county for the
Citizens Military Training Camps
association, and wishes to announce
that the government camp for
young men will be held at Camp
Knox, KY, beginning July 27, and
will continue for one month. Many
boys have attended these camps in
the last two years and have derived
huge benefits in health, knowledge
and pleasure therefrom. The age
limit is II to "a. The quota for
this corps area, consisting of Ohio,
Indiana, Kentucky and West Vir-
ginia, is four thousand men land 1T is
expected that this number will be
recruited rapidly. 1t behooves those
desiring to go to this camp to apply
to the local chairman at once. The
applications will be filed in the or
der as received and the young men
notified of their acceptance or re-
lection Immediately. The govern
ment pays all railroad fares to and
from Camp Knox, feeds, clothes and
quarters the men without any ex-
pense upon their part. Their ex-
pense is only what they may want
to spend.
The local physician making the
free examination for the govern
ment in this district is DR.. D. G..
Ralston.
The purpose of these camps is to
bring together young men of high
type from all sections of the country
on a common basis of equality and
under the most favorable conditions
of outdoor life; to stimulate and
promote citizenship, patriotism and
and through expert
physical direction, athletic coach

Perhaps it should be said that
above the place where some were
washing their clothes, bodies,
heads, and mouths, the carcass of a
deceased goat was seen lying at the
edge of the river. No wonder the
death rate in India is high But
Tor what purpose are you reading
these lines? Can you derive any
practical benefit from this imperfect
portrayal of the heather who is not
'at home" as people sometimes say
regarding missionary work? Does
it occur to you that these people
need the gospel and can not be saw
ed without it? Do you think that
men and women who have been re-
deemed by the blood that was spill
ed in pain. anguish and disgrace at
Calvary, owe anything to these
walkers in the dark?
On our way back, we pass the
bazaars and view the brass work
for which Benares is famous. Here
are the Church Missionary society
grounds, their Normal school and
orphanage. Now we are back at
the London society's compound
where one church is 100 years old
A few of the natives gather in
newer building for prayer meeting,
after which we go to the station to
resume our journey, Lucknow be-
ing the next place in the intinerary.
But / haven't told of the Mon
key Temple, one of the famous
places of this famous city. But it is
a frost" for the temple is small
and not impressive. The monkeys,
which are worshipped, are said to
be 100 in number, but if this is so,
suppose some of them were out
calling, for we did not see more
than perhaps a dozen. The attend
ants feed them and then hold out
the empty pans for backshish. BY
hanging garland of flowers
around your neck, they create an
other opportunity for backshish,
but this traveller asked the price of
the pan, remarked that it was a
good pan, but none was needed, etc.

VISIT TO BENARES, SACRED
CITY. RELIGIOUS BATHING
(By Don Carlos Janes)


The following was written from
Harda, Central Provinces, India.
Mr.. James some time ago returned
to this country from his trip
abroad:
When our stay in Calcutta was
ended, we entrained with Dalton
ganj, one of the British churches
of Christ stations, as our objective.
Arriving at Some East Bank, which
could be called tLone East Bank" !"
about in the morning, we went
down the platform to the waiting
branch line train and went to
1bed" in one of the cars. When
morning came there was a delay
about issuing tickets The drivers"
as engineers are called in India,
were waiting to see. whether the
main line train came in with native
or with European drivers 1t was
said European had ''struck" his
fireman, and Indians were striking,
although the offending European
had been dismissed. Finally tick
cts are sold, but the train doesn't
go. There are prospects and there
are reverses. The white inspectors
from other places are in and out Of

it's population the station force OF
Indians (and possibly a few 9TH
ers). We have food in our lunch
basket and put in the day without
special discomfort. We are not get
ting on. to our destination-that's
all, but it will do no good to fume
over the matter.
At one juncture, we have a good
prospect. The driver will take the
engine and baggage car with the
mail and passengers to Daltonganj,
the terminus, but he will not carry
the intermediate traffic. Our bag
gage is moved to the ivan" and the
mail is assorted by several clerks
under a tree on the earthen plat
form, and then the driver refuses to
CO. He is personally willing, but
fears violence when he comes back.
The Europeans show us kindness
and also the natives. One of the
latter inquiries if we have matches
and goes away bringing us some. A
Hindu young man, whom we learn
has to support himself and five
younger brothers and sisters from

his 80 rupees (about soc to the
rupee) a month, comes along and
tells us he has felt sorry for us all
day, but could do nothing to help
us. Now it is dusk and our compart-
ment has not been lighted. He re-
fuses to go on with his lantern till
the car is lighted. Meanwhile I tell
him of Christ, and he goes away at
the end of the interview with cheer
full words for having met us.
And now comes the ''local fore
man." an Irishman with a badly
SCARED face (he's had smallpox
from Daltonganj. There also comes
the captain of police with 26 more
rife-armed men. Things at once
begin to move our way and after 36
hours of enforced camping here by
the way, we journey on to our sta
ton where friends meet us after
having wired to know if we were
detained. The police are left to
guard the railway and see that no
more of the opposition forces turn
all the water out of the tanks and
thus tie up even main line traffic.
1t has since been reported that the
man who was "struck" received his
blow from bridge!
After few days, we were to
move on to Dudhi, another station,
and Bro. Waters has sent his
Christian cook over, who will go
back with us. First it is 20 miles
by rail to Garhwa Road where ac-
commodation by ''palatial line" is
secured for the 46 miles across the
country. Here stand five big heavy
freight trucks which have for the
present at least been abandoned,
and our "cars" are bullock carts
with bed of straw. Mrs. James
and I have one; Richard and some
freight travel in the other 1t is
around in the afternoon when we
begin to trek. Six miles out, in the
edge Of the night, we come to halt
at camping place and Richard sets
up his charcoal stove and with very
limited opportunity serves us good
food. The dishes washed, we pro-
ceed through the night towards
Dudhi. At daybreak we are at the
Ramna rest house or "Dak Bunga-
low" as they say. There are public
buildings with a simple equipment
of beds (without bedding), chairs
and wash stand. Officials in their
rounds have first claim perhaps, but
others may use them at cost of
one rupee a day, or less if the stay
is under three hours. Again Rich
ard prepares hot food which we en-
joy. It is bit past noon when we
can persuade the gharrywan to
move the "train" onward. Really,
do we persuade them, or is it that
they have just got ready? Anyhow,
we are moving-slowly. To travel
faster here than we did there,
will say it was bit after daybreak
when we arrived at the Bungalow
magnificent in Dudhi, with its main
room 18 by As. The interesting
visit here with the observations on
the native homes, pottery workers,
bricklayers, carpenters, ETC., can not
receive full attention now. How
ever, the big bungalow was erected
many years ago when cOolie did
his unskilled labor at one anna a
day, making about IL cents for a
full weeks work carrying bricks or
mortar. Now the same labor is
costing three annas per diem. Bro.
Waters returns with us when we
go to Daltonganj to make our start
for up country. He and the three
ladies who "man" this station, are

LIQUIDATION" ENDED
 AND CELLERS LOADED
Disposition Of 2,OOO Cases Wet Goods
 Closed Incident

CHICAGO, April 1.-The recent liquidation of the Grommes X Clirlch warehouse concern, which released some 1000 cases of choice bonded liouor to 150 stockholders" is closed incident" in so far as Fed- eral Prohibition Director Roscoe C.. Andrews is concerned.
 Andrews. returning here Monday from Washington, was forced to deny that he intended to resign as the re- suit of publicity attached to his course in signing permits for trans fer of the liquor from warehouse to cellars but admitted he had dis eussed the case with prohibition chiefs at Washington.
 The Grommes & Ullrich 1iquida tion attracted great interest among both vets and drys because of the admit ted possibility that if it were allowed to stand as legal, other warehouses in the country might go out of busi- : ness equally easy. the stockholders cashing in for booze.
 Surface indications are that in spite of threats of grand jury indict- ments, search and seizure proceed ines and other dire possibilities. the transaction may also be closed incident"< with other federal officials as we'll as with Andrews. Meanwhile some of the most promine%t men in Chicago's political and social life have well-stocked cellars as the re suit of the distribution of the Grommes & Ullrich liquor
 Federal District Attorney Olson admitted Monday that no action had been taken tending toward prose- cution of the beneficiaries, but de- clared that he had yet to discuss the matter with Andrews before decid ing upon any definite course.
