THE success of the conference is

for the outlawry of war as a means
of settling international disputes.
The conference is a good BEGIN
ming; the future alone can make god

the spirit and impetus of this con-

We sometimes hear objections to
the proposals for new organization,
but we must have an organization to
carry on the spirit and intent of the

have habitat; it must have a secre-
tary; II must have the support of all
the countries represented here within
the next five years" The bishop of
Winchester called on Archbishop

and DIR. Arthur Judson Brown Of

BE Incinerated,''
Order of .JOkers,
Scares Germans
By the Associated Press.


BERLIN. August 29.-Numerous
residents of Hamburg recently
were much amazed to receive no.
tices to report for incineration at
the city crematory."
The communication stated that
the persons addressed had reached
the age limits for ordinary NOR
tails as provided in certain sections
of the state statutes, and advised
that each drink a quart Of pure
olive oil before reporting to the
crematory so as to prevent the
explosion which occurs when
bodies of heavy consumers of alco-
hol are burned"
The notices were sent chiefly to
rather ingenious persons who
took them seriously and sought
police protection.

Bryan At Harvard.

Mr.. William Jennings Bryan is visiting
a few Of the American Universities and
speaking against Evolution and for De-
mocracy. Recently he delivered two bril-
liant orations at Harvard University, which
is both Republican and Evolutionist
centre. Only Dr.. Eliot could have received
as much applause as was given to Mr..
Bryan.
Mr.. Bryan is now sixty-five years old.
he has been in politics for thirty-five years
and during that time he championed the
cause of Democracy by helping to put into
our Constitution three Of the most progress
sive and democratic amendments of all
the nineteen amendments.
Mr.. Bryan said that he is a Democrat
because the Democratic party is on the
side of the people" and mo cause is right
GUS unless it brings welfare to the masses"
He pointed out that the word "Democ-
racy" is made up Of two Greek words.
meaning people" and ITO rule
Mr. Bryan called his life "A life of a
series of good fortune" and soon he is 60
ing to write his autobiography. the title of
which will be, "A Child of Fortune"
Several times during his speech he de-
clared that the peoples side always wins. {"
In closing. he said. Democracy is form
of government and must let people have
what they want. Power to decide what
the people should have must rest with the
people. Mistakes will happen in all forms
of government. but in a Democracy the
people make their own mistakes and they
will soon correct them"
Mr.. Bryan has very fatherly face.
honest and full of magnetic character.
Everyone seemed to like him and the
evolutionists recognized that he knew
enough about science and evolution to
show that he stood on solid ground and
not on mere guess theories.

WHY w, J, R
AND M ARE USED
ON PARTY LINES

The letter w outranks all the
other letters of the alphabet a. to
the ease with which 1t can be un-
derstood, telephone engineers de-
clare.
In order to determine which let
tiers carry best over the wires and
which are the least likely to be
confused with the digits of the
numbers or with other letters. the
entire alphabet was subjected to
elaborate series Of tests over tele-
phone lines by trained engineers.
The result was that the letters w,
J. r. NJ passed the best tests In
the order given and they were sub
sequently selected for use as
sufhxes for party line telephone
numbers. That is why these letters
are the standard designation for
party service in preference to other
letters of the alphabet.
