"The Methodist Episcopal Church

MANY in our branch Of the church,
including practically the entire Board
of Bishops, favor making the question
of amusements a matter of advice and
not of law.
eff the two branches Of the church
come together, it is certain the law
would not be imposed ON the former
of the Church South and
would therefore not find place in the

BERLIN SUBWAY SHYLOCKS

Berlin, June s.--Since the mark be-
gan palpitating uncertainty from one
day to another--indeed, from one
hour to another--Berlin has under

exchange establishments along streets
all over the city. The tourist, look

pounds, or other currency, does not

at almost every turn, even in the mid
way promenade and driving sections
of the boulevards
Now an enterprising Shylock has
hit upon the happy idea of setting up
exchange shops at transfer points on
the underground and elevated rail-
ways The logic is simple: The alert
business men enters his home sta
ton and buys morning paper; he
finds the mark is rising, or falling;
his office may be q half hour away,
too far to permit keeping pace with
the exchange; at the transfer point
he can sell "sh ort" if necessary. or
buy at a liberal margin. without the
necessity of waiting his trains arrival
down town.
The first of these new tablish
ments to put in an appearance is at
the metropolitan subdivision OF
Schoeneberg. whore trains from the
west end meet those from
the traders residential district In
Berlin. The authorities
have granted an exchange dealer a
10-year lease on a part of the sta
ton. The basic annual rent will be

contract was made), changeable in
accordance with changes in the buy

AMUNDSEN TO MAKE
flight TO ARCTIC
Will Invade Blind Region and
Undergo Great PerilS

Bergen. Norway, June S.-Roalt
Amundsen, the famous Norwegian
Arctic explorer, will attempt his haz
ardous air fight from Point Barrow
in Alaska to Spitzbergen at the enc
of June, it is announced here. Be
tween these two points he will trav
erse what has hitherto been the Arc
tics blind region, a territory Of
which nothing whatever is known
The greater part of this blind sector
lies directly between Point Barrow
and the North Pole.
VIII Encounter Many Dangers
Experts in polar work consider that
one OF the greatest of the difficulties
Amundsen will have to contend with
will be that of orientation-the de-
termination of his latitude and longi-
tude while under the flight Assum-
ing that Amundsen starts from Point
Barrow under ideal conditions, and in
due course finds himself directly over
the Pole. he will. according to as
tronomic theory, have south on all
sides of him. It is of vital impor-
lance that he start his southwark
course along the right meridian, for
although in whichever direction he
flies 1t will be south. the following of
a wrong meridian may lead him along
the icy wastes of the Greenland table
and or even across to Siberia.
Another danger. according to polar
experts is that he may find himself
over the open sea between Greenland
and Spitzbergen, which is some $50
miles at this point, und entirely out
IF the routes of any vessels employed
in Arctic work, Spitzbergen is no
torlous for the thick fogs which sud
denly and completely envelop it in
the course of a few moments. and
here again lies danger.
The success or failure of the adven-
.urous fight, polar navigators say. de-
bends upon atmospheric conditions.
md on these engine failure, of
excepted.
