High intelligence. training. and the power to sway vast multitudes are requisites of the men who are to be on the firing line with "a Twentieth Century mes sage" and able to handle debate. An up-to-date Saint Francis, with hts band of preachers fired with the spirit of evangelism. gifted with the power of spech. and trained III all the arts of persuasion" would en- deavor. to Christianize America at mass meetings. conferences, gather ings of all sorts. in theaters, halls, in university stadia, in the highways and by-ways of great cities, and anywhere and everywhere that men and women can be assembled to listen. under the preaching revival. These preachers would renew their own strength at the National Cathedral where teachers capable of adding new fire to their zeal would preside and the hope Is expressed that preachers of churches other than the Episcopal will be en- listed in the cause.
 As the first step men of reputation. who have won renown i'll Europe and America for their seholarship and ability to preach, will be secured, and as rapidly as possible the permanent organization of the college of preach CTS will be perfected.

PEACEFUL SOLUTION .
 OF MEMEL PROBLEM
Former Asst. SeCy. to President Wilson Shows Tactiul Qualities

Gerets March T,--Aorman Davis. who was assistant secretary of state in the cabinet of President Wilhon. used tn good psychological advan- taee some of his former chiefs doc trines of international cooperation in delivering his address before the first meeting of the League of Nations Commission, of which he is chairman. for the settlement of the question of proprietorshir of the Baltic seaport of Memel, This city was formerly Ger man, and 1t has remained knotty problem among the Baltic states since the signing of the Versailles treaty,
 The problem of Memel arises from the fact that Lithuania. tn which na- tion the seaport was given. refused to accept sll the conditions of sovereign ty laid down by the Conference of Ambassadors. which finally turned the question over to the League for set tement because il was considered a matter liable seriously 10 disturb in- ternatonal relations.
 It is MT Wilson's former secretary. therefore, who is chiefly called upon to attain the solution under the terms of the League covenant which the former president himseA compiled.
 Although MT. Davis nffde no direct rolved. his report will affect the gen. eral relations between Lithuania and Poland. which countries, if not actu- ally fighting. are still in q state of war over the rity of Wilma. to whose
New Britain herald., 1924-03-07

loss to Poland Lithuania has never become reeonciled.
 A satisfactory settlement of the Memel affair is expected vastly to improve the general Baltic political situation.
 We are asked" said MT. Davis in his address. ito find in few weeks a solution to problem which has bsffled more practiced diplomats for many months"
 Obviously, he continued. the task was not easy. but he was optimistic. He said every week that passed showed the dangers to all concerned of future delay in reaching a settle ment. But he said he was struck by the improved feeling throughout Europe. where areas of peace are con. stantly broadening. Tn one zone of dispute after another the spirit of controversy is giving place to the en- frightened spirit of conciliation and mutual concession" he continued We have every reason to hope that the parties interested here will pre-. fer peace and prosperity to political dissension and economic disorder"
 Alluding to the Memel convention of sixty articles. which Lithuania d4~ clined to accept in it's entirety, MF Davis declared it was remarkable that an agreement had been reached on so many vital points, adding: Tt took the founders of my country longer 10 agree on our constitution, which is considerably shorter

PREACHERS CARRY
 GOSPEL ID PEOPLE
Ii People Won't Go tQ Church,
 Church Must Go to People

Washington, March T-Based on the conviction that if the people will not go to the church the church must go to the people. s great religious movement is being organized hy the National Cathedral Foundation. A college of preachers is to be estab- lished at the National Cathedral here, for which 8 countrywide fund of s1o. 100000 is being assembled. and from this 2 religious revival skin to that of Peter the Hermit the Cowley Fathers. and General Booth is to be directed
 The Right Rev Jamos E Freeman. D, p.. Episcopal bishop Of Washing ton, is nov preparing with other church leaders to launch the evangeli- cal enterprise this summer, with the first sessions Of the College ot Preach CTS This embodiment of the church militant in vigorous campaign for Christ through preaching. publicity and organization. will typify spiritual ly to America what the Washington Cathedral itself. where Woodrow Will son lies buried. will mean materially as great religious shrine and, in fact. an American Westminster Abbey, where the nation honored dead will sleep.
 In the forefront of the nation wide preaching renaissance to carry real religion to the man in the street, and to met the challenge that Christianity has failed, Is Mcneil Sayre, trustee of the church pension fund and pension advisor to the Church of England. who's. brochure, made public today, outlines the argument for thf preach ing mission,
 MT. Sayre's indictment of Christian tvs failure to influence average men and women is summed up in his open ing paragraph thus:
 Christianity has lost it's hold on the masses of the people, The industrial classes have ceased to be influenced by it. It has shrunk into a concern of the so-called middle and upper class es. This is condition which. if al- lowed to continue. means that Chris fianity in American will soon enter definitely into the status of a decay ing religion"
 To counteract this decay and bring a natural and healthy religious growth fo that everyday American. Mr. sayre proposes a movement to carry 1t to ''the spiritual nature of the averag ge man" He warns against the delusive appearance of apparent material pro. perity in the churches. and points out that the danger of the practical over- throw of Christianity is tho product of many causes. operating through many years" Among these he lists .'insistence that some favorite theory Is essential to a following of Christ: emphasis on the relatively unimport- ant instead of on Christ Himself. em- phasis on the material side of conduct instead of on an elevation of our spiritual strength, and the inability of the church today to exhibit and main. tain those high standarde of Christian morality of which it is the guardian and trustee"
 The parish church is the only in. strumentality of Christianity seriously and effectively at work today" Nr, Sayre maintains. A revival of preach. ing is not needed in the parish church, he points out, but must be planned "solely to reach those who cannot otherwise be won"

PARTY
Officials viii Entertain on
Christmas Eve and An1bi-
tious Plans Are Made

Santa Claus visited Police Head
quarters today to make final plans
for the big Christmas Eve party
which police officials are planning
for children living in the neighbor-
hood of the District building. After
conference with Major Daniel
Sullivan, chief Of police, and In
spector Clifford Grant, chief of the
detective bureau, Santa announced
that it looked like it would be one
Of the best parties he had ever had
q chance to attend.
The halls around detective head
quarters, where the party will be
held, are beginning to be cluttered
with presents, decorations and food,
which are being donated by down
town merchants for the party
Nearly every detective on the
force forgot his regular assignment
today in the rush Of Christmas
work. Some of them were busy
going around to ting stores, to get
decorations and presents, while
others were working on the .n-
tertainment and music, with which
the children will be entertained
All reported splendid cooperation
from the business men.
All children living in the neigh
borhoOd of the District building,
who are under the age of sixteen,
are invited to the party,

Garner believes that painting OF
white lines on the streets is viz.
tually necessity and would solve
much of the difficulty pedestrians
find in crossing at confusing inter-
sections. Motorists. too, ne be-
lieves would find them helpful, as
they show the motorist just how
near he may approach to the cross
walk line, or in other words, his
part Of the street, where he may
expect pedestrians to keep off.
Confusing Intersection.
The intersection at which Garner
is stationed is typical instance OF
a confusing intersection. North
Capitol and F streets and Massa-
chusetts avenue come together at
that point. Under traffic rules, a
motorist may cut far beyond the
center of one street when enotIler
thoroughfare crosses at q sharp
angle. This situation at times
causes untold trouble for the traf
fic officer. White lines marking
