STRIKE SPREADS ON BRITISH CRAFT
Seanlen'S Demands Cause Of
 Much Trouble

London, Aug 22 Rl-An unofficial strike has broken out In London and elseW here and threatens to spread and affect British ships in foreign ports, as 1t already has done in Aus trala,
 The trouble has arisen through the men having repud,ated the re- cent agreement between the two sea mems unions and the employers for q reduction of wages by one pound sterlin monthly. The strike commit tee says that 15. 900 men are in yolved and that 35 ships are already being held up in London.
 The Daily Mail says the strike is due to a plot engineered by Com munist leaders, who aim 10 bring to q standstill British shipping abroad. The newspaper asserts that the Com mun1sts sent messages 10 Bolshevik .agents in Australia, India, South Af- rca, Canada and the United States, instructing them 10 tell the seamen that another pound sterling monthly was to be taken from their wages when they return from their present voyages.
 Reports from Australia say tho strike of the scamen there Is rapidly spreading and that many ships are being held in port through lack of men to handle them. The govern mont is being fostcrcd by Tam Walsh, leader of the recent Austral- ian shipping strike.
 British shipowners have cabled Premier Bruce of Australia cAplain~ ing their agreement with the seamen and urging him io prevent illegal porsuasion to break contracts. Havelock Wilson, president of the National Womon's Union, also has 'tclegraphcI MT. Bruce, repudiating the interference of Walsh. Mir. Will son saId in his telegram that 5o,Ooo members of the union had signed the contract with tho employers vii hout protest. He attributed the strike 10 "rcd acitators and non-unionlst malcOntcms.

TRYING

Seeks to Prevent Anti,perNVian
 Activities

Africa, Chile, Aug 22 Fl-lf the view of General John J. Pershing prevails there will be no further demonstrations Of hostility against Peruyians such as occurred yester- day when Chieans pursued Peru vians selling 2 newspaper printed by the Peruyians delegations to the pehiscite commission 10 the door step of General Fershing, throwing potatoes and otherwise maltreating them.
 General Pershing immediately aft CT the incident, in conversation with Agustin Edwards, head of the Chil- can delegation, demanded that i'm mediate steps be taken to insure the protection and free movement of Peruvians inside the plebiscite area. Senor Edwards promised that such steps would be taken, He Is un- derstood to have asked General Pershing 10 notify the Peruyians that the Chileans were ready to guarantee full safety 10 the Peru visn paper sellers, provided the Peruvians informed the police Of the time and place where they would offer the paper for sale.
 Peruvian newspapers is being published aboard the Peruvian transport Ecayali Its circulation has increased daily since 1t first ap- peared on August 10. Chileans gen. erally have opposed the circulation of the Journal, The anger of the crowd yesterday apparently was aroused over the fact that the two Peruvian paper sellers who later were chased were panied ashore by Sarah Wambaugh, an American author and Professor AL bert A. Gieseoke, director general of education in Peru, both of whom are members of the Peruvian plebis- cite delegation.
 They stationed themselves on the opposite side of the road from where the Peruvians were selling the newspaper, having with them cam cras, ready to photograph any iu- cident. The crowd Is said to have thought this a provocation of hos tility. They commented warmly on the situation and then began threat ening the sellers. who were hustled down the street to the door of Gen eral Pershings residence. where they stopped. The Chilcsns here. in the sight of Major John G. Quakemeyer, William C. Dennis and and Raymond C. Cox. of the American rlehiscito delegation, hurled potatoes at the Peruvians.
 After some sharp persuasion on Inc part of tho police guarding tn" Tershing abode both Inc ChileanS and the pcruvanS were ordered to move on. The Americans however, domandeS that the Peruvians he permitted to remain where they were. and then aided the police to disrorsc tho dsturhers of inc peace.
 Eye witnesses say that during the trouble the Tcruvians wore man handled hy the crowd, and that later, on resuminE the sale of their ncvsnapors, one of them. Jors" Cor .ci7. was knocked down. The Amer'- cans. defending the FeruVians, were also involved In fights in two cases but were not injured.

sch Sherman, is hell.
The pew has outstripped the pull
pit in training" said the boss one eve
ming just as we were about to close
up the old rolltop desk and call it a
day; and although We had not previ-
ously given much thought to that top

boss is right With deepest respect
for each and every ardent SKY pilot"
who has graced either the pulpit or
the mission chair, and therefrom has
sincerely blazed the trail of religious
education that light from on high
might reach the dark souls of men,
it is daily obvious that the laymen, III
analysis and reasoning processes, have
reached a state in church life which
calls for more modern and intensive
preparation on the part Of ministers
who would essay to be real religious
leaders from the pulpit.
1t is an undeniable fact, saddening
perhaps, to the passing generation
that the "hallelujah" days are declin-
ing in church life. No longer do mere
stentorian tones and buoyant voice u
exhortation appease the religious hun
ger Of pewholders. They, in their adj

is being burned up in the smoke Of
beauty contests to determine whether
bobbed hair or tresses, whether blondes
or brunetts, are most to be desired.
In other words, we humbly opine that
while beauty contests are O. r., it
would be far more useful to society
to determine which lassie or dame
could most skillfully bake a yam or
do a nice darning job on her hus-
bands, fathers, brothers, or sons
socks, thus thwarting indigestion or
holding down the family budget, as
the case might be.
1t is consoling to know that the
town Of Podunk sent the beauty who
won the finals at Atlantic City, or
Madison Square Garden; or that the
best looking foot on Fifth Avenue
came from Home, Sweet Home But
it seems to us that breasts could
surge with greater pride were it an
nounced that the worlds best pan Of
buiscuits came from there, or that
Susie Smith made a lace pattern

Il may be that the fair sex needs
vacation from too much home life
and its responsibilities; and if they do,
We want them to have it. But we
can't see that the ballot, bobbed hair,
or the new rights Of women have
added any special laurels to their
wreath Of being forerunners Of wom-
ems abandonment of that wonderful
sphere wherein she once dwelled-

This volume on the Philippines is
disappointing. The writer has mass
Of material, but she presents it with
out pretense Of style, and from the
first page shows herself passionately
biased against Philippine rule. Her
three hundred and fifty pages retail
cases Of terrible injustice practiced
by the Philippines in power against
their weaker compatriots. From cover
to cover one hears only one side.
Some Of my readers may remem-
Der the book Dean Worcester brought
out when America first learned that
there were any Philippines. a book
reciting the terrible conditions exist
ing in the Islands under Spanish rule
The laborers were b1ed for taxes and
when they could not pay were beaten
and imprisoned. Then came the
American Occupation and we learned
with satisfaction of the beginnings of
peasant proprietorship and the secur-
ing of the friar's lands. Now, from
Katherine Mayo's book, we see that
under our Democratic administration,
when the United States desired to
give the Philippine a greater share
in self-government and when Burton
Harrison was Governor, conditions
became as bad as those Worcester de-
scribed. There was no change Of tyr
amy, only change of masters, the
caciques, or moneyed class Of mixed
Maylay and Spanish blood, proving
as heartless as the Spaniard. Here
is the complaint "a most familiar one
to us) Of the Philippine renter:
Their complaint ran that for over
three years they had never been able
to get a settlement from their land
lords but had always been obliged
to accept a running account, always
favorable they said, to the man who
kept the books They are thus held
as poems and as usury is practiced
Of the most barefaced description,
their lot is well nigh hopeless. If
one dares to fight cacique, his prop
erty is seized and he is turned out
with his family penniless. His land
lord is his Judge at the court, and
though there is semblance Of repre-
sentative government. his landlord, by
