The answer is brief. We should
aid the Japs in their distress, because
we are Americans.
No good American can turn deaf
ear to the call of suffering humanity.
If Americanism is anything it is the
embodiment of the broad and funda-
mental tenets of Christianity. The
constitution of the republic, the guar
anty of our liberties, are the instru-
ments by which these tenets are ap-
piled to the common affairs Of the
people.
To be an American is to believe
in humanity. To believe in humanity
is to be ready to administer to it
when it is lin need. True American
ism compels the impulse to sympa-
thize with and have compassion for a
fellow who is down, no matter who
nor what the cause of his undoing.
Even though we are not moved by
the finer sentiments and nobler I'M
pulses of our Americanism and our
manhood, certainly we cannot escape
the lesser fact that we have debt to
repay. In 1906 when San Francisco
was visited by an earthquake disaster,
Japanese were the first foreign peo-
pie to extend aid and their relief fund
was greater than those Of all other
foreign peoples combined. The San
Francisco disaster took less than 500
lives and destroyed $200,O00,000 of
property. In the present crisis Japan's
dead are numbered by the tens of
thousands and property loss runs into
the billions. Can we in honor and in
honesty refuse to pay in kind? Are
we as Americans today Of lesser cal
ibre and meaner mould than were the
Japanese in 1906? If so it were well
that we recall our missionaries and
open our doors to the teachers from
the Orient.
Not only does the Red Cross call
for Japan lay claim upon US spirit
ually and morally but economically
and politically. The opportunity is
here given us to still the clamor of
the war-alarmist and cement bonds of
international and interracial friend
ships that will Withstand the hackings
of the peril propagandists for gener-
atoms. Japan will not, cannot, soon
forget and our largess like bread up
on the waters will return to us a
thousandfold.
Yes, we should give because we
are Americans, and, because we are
Amricans, we can give.

IN q Measure, Great Italian May BE
said to Have BIaxed Way for
Shakespeare.

Though Shakespeare may appear to
ma. who speak only English, to have
a broader spread OF opinion-to lead
his victorious thought with more tri-
umphant sweep beyond the utmost
hounds of human speculation-though
Milton may, to English ears, appear to
sing with a nobler measure and In a
more melodious strain, pray remember
that Dante preceded them by some
thing like three hundred years and that
as his leaders. beside the great Greeks
and Latin poets (whom they had like
wise) he had only 'Guittone Guinizelli
and the Provencal Rimatori, while
Shakespeare and Milton had Chaucer
and Spencer and above all Dante HIM
self. He walked alone so far as in
spiring human fellowship was con-
cerned. Those about him were all
critical and many held that he was
wasting his recognized genius writing
IN tbe vulgar tongue and Of the dead
rome instead of in the scholarly and
classic language of the living. Shake
speare. on the other hand, had as shin
ing a company of comrades of genius
as ever poured about man the cleo
tric stimulus of intellectual fellowship.

DIVORCE
Former Episcopal Rectol
HIames Wife's Adherence
to Strange Sect.

YOUNGSTOWN. Pa, Nov. 22.-
TheRev. Frank s. Ballantine, bet
ter known as Father Bally," for
mer rector Of the Evansburg Epis-
copal Church, has been granted a
divorce from Mrs. Wurtz Muer Bal
lantine, who tried TO divorce him
in 1913.
''The whole trouble in our mar
ried life was my wife's adherence
TO the Thomas Lake Harris belief, I"
said BaIlantine, referring to q sect
founded by 1.-THE Seer"
One tenet Of this belief was that
the marriage relation should be
purely spiritual"
! When Mrs. Ballantine sued him
in 1913, charging "indignities to
her person." her husband declared
she had been wife in name only.
She again sued unsuccessfully in
1915 and 1917. Father Bally''
testified then that the ''cruel and
barbarous treatment" which she
charged consisted Of his saying to
her "You, shut up" after she had
The Washington times., 1923-01-22

given him an ''aIl.night curtain
lecture" She did not contest her
husbands suit.
When Bishop Rhinelander order
ed Ballantine to quit his rector
ship at Evansburg, he refused to
leave. He had been there eight
years. He fought a Montgomery
county court order which backed
up the bishop. but finally quit in
July, 1914.
He charged at that time that the
protest of group of parishioner
who objected to his rectorship, was
really based on desire to get his
wife out Of the neighborhood. He
later preached In parslI and halls
in Philadelphia.
The couple were married on June
/, 1908, by Bishop Whitaker. His
wife at the time Of, the marriage
lived on Delaney street, PhiIadeI-
phia, and later went to live with
her mother at Thirty-ninth and
Chestnut streets here.
In his divorce testimony Father
Bally" gave his age as sixty-three.

Two Million Surplus Of Girls

women.
Although the expectation is not
taking place under official direc-
ton and is by no means compul-
sorry, the movement is being car
ried on with the tacit approval
of the authorities. It is being
directed by a new organization
known as the Home Companions"
The object of the movement is
to provide wives for men in those
sections of the British Empire
where there is a surplus of male
population. It is described by
those who are directing the emf
grafton as a scheme to adjust the
balance of sexes in the empire"
Many Extra Girls.
There are 1000 900 surplus WON
en- in England, it is estimated. Tt
is estimated that in Australia alone,
not to mention other British do
minions, there are 100000 surplus
men, and the number Is steadily
growing because of continued emf
grafton of males to the colonies.
The first Consignment" of girls
to Australia will be fifty in num-
Der and will sail in February.
Each woman must be more than
twenty years old, but not more
than thirty. Each one also will
be required to possess about $500
Of her own, half of it to pay her
passage to Australia and the other
half to guarantee her ability to

I'VE want girls who are prepared
to rough it--not flighty, irrespon-
sible girls who are out for a good
time," said Miss Elite Rout, secre-
tary of the Home Companions, who
is directing the movement. "Patri-
otto, serious-minded girls who are
willing to go out to the corners of
the empire for the sake of the en-
pire-that is the type we want.
Not Easy Job.
''It will not be bed of roses for
them-they may have to work
hard. But they will have an OPP
portunity to make careers for
themselves, and it is more than
likely that the majority of them
will marry.
Women will be sent out in
groups of twenty, under the care of
a responsible officer of the society,
who will acquaint them during the
voyage with household manage
ment and Australian customs. Every
girl that goes out will be guar
anteed a post as soon as she ar
rives. To accustom them to CO.
lonial life employment will be
found for them as companions and

try homes"

Montana Officer Accused OF
Bribery by Member Of
State Assembly.
nv International News Service.

HELENA, Mont, Jan. 22.-The
State prohibition enforcement
force of Montana Ii under fire, and
an investigation by legislative
committee Is probable. following
charges made by Congressman
Lester Fl. Lobe in the lower house
of the general assembly.
The enforcement officers OF the
state are under the direction Of
Attorney General w. D. Rankin,
brother Of Jeanette Rankin, first
woman member Of the United
States Congress.
In q resolution presented In the
House and referred TO the commit
tee on morals, Representative Lobe
charged that one Of the enforce-
ment officers has been convicted
in a Federal court on a bribery
charge; thats another Is an ex-con'
vict and that a third has been con.
victed in Montana Of violating the
liquor laws.
Lobe made reference to q re-
Gently published story reciting the
seizure Of . State prohibition Of
ficer's automobile at Billings by
Federal agents on the charge that
the machine had been used in IL
legal transportation OF liquor.
The Montana law provides that
prohibition enforcement officers
may receive their pay from q fund
made up Of fines collected from
those convicted Of violating the
liquor laws, and Lobe contended
that, because officers have q pecu.
mary interest in the outcome Of all
trials on liquor law violation
charges, situation has been Gre
ated that may result in many
abuses.

ENGLISH ROYAL
PURSE CROWS
THINNER
Prince Of Wales Gets $780,
600 Annually, but Expense
Is Very Heavy.
By r. A. WRAY.
International News Service.

LONDON, Jan. 22.-The late Ouch
ess of Albany's estate, valued at
1886, 900, has again raised the ques'
ton of the financial position of the
British royal family.
Formerly Princess Helena of Wal
deck, and widow of Prince Leopold,
eighth son of Queen Victoria, the
Princess had an annuity Of $4,000
from the British House Of Commons.
This annuity she had enjoyed for
thirty-eight years.
But her husband had no personal
fortune. she had little, IL any, she
had heavy personal expenses
throughout her lifetime-also devot.
ing large sums to charityand yet
she left a big fortune. And the mys-
terry surrounding the royal finances
remains.
Victoria Left Fortune.
1t is true that Queen Victoria left
a large private fortune. How much,
only her immediate relatives knew,
because royal wills are never pub
lished. But it was generally accept
ed that the venerable queen left be-
tween $4,000. 900 and $4,000. 900 Of
her own. On the other hand, King
Edward was never supposed to have
left a great amount. His personal
expenditure was probably heavy.
At the present time King George
receives a yearly sum of $3.50, 900,
out Of which he has to pay for the
upkeep Of the royal palaces and the
household staffs. After paying out
all expenses and giving very large
sums to charity, it is generally esti-
mated that his yearly accounts do
little more than barely balance, and
fresh economies are being constantly
introduced by Queen Mary into the
royal establishments. King George,
however, has steadfastly refused
every suggestion that Parliament
should grant him an increased allow
ance, in view Of the heavy rise in
prices during the last few years.
Wales Expenses Big.
The Prince of Wales has a revenue
of about $350,000 from various es-
tates, but his expenses, also, are ex-
CeeQlnSly nS4Vys anu lASTS ere pEOD-
ably many young men in England
who are much better off than he Is.
His brothers receive only a small al
lowance, amounting to few thou
sand dollars year. from the royal
purse.
Queen Alexandria receives $3.50, 900
yearly from Parliament, and her per-
sonal expenses have recently been
cut down to the minimum. The
greater part of her outgoings are de-
voted to charity-Knuch OF which Is
purely private and unpublished
probably she il best off OF all the
members OF the royal family from
the viewpoint Of ready money, and
she may leave quite q respectable
fortune.
So, on the whole, although British
royalties OF two generations ago may
have accumulated a good deal OF
money, It is doubtful whether the
younger and present members do
much more than pay their way, and
few fortunes of the extent Of the
Duchess of Albany's are likely to be
left by them in the near future.
