MUST BE PATIENT WITH CHINA,
YUAN'S ADVISOR DECLARES
By M
He Is a modest-mannered man and had a
propensity toda to hide himself from re
porters In the rrowds of blnik-gowncd stu
dcntS'aud jirofessors who congregated In the
foer of the nrexel Institute, which Is cele
brating Its tuentv -fifth anniversary, hut
he quickly lelirnfd thnt ou cannot have
tho reputation of having put the (lovem
ment of a nation of 410 000. 0110 Inhabitants
on Its feet and expect obscurity
Dr. Frank J (loodnnw, ,the present of
Johns Hopkins University, Is in Phllidel
Phla helping nrexel celebrate Some men
havo the distinction of making or unmaking
kings, but Doctor Uoodnow, mlld-volced and
unostentatious has nn even greater distinc
tion. When China began to aun Itself out of Its
Illp Van Wlnk'c .ethargy, Yuan Shi Kal. per
haps one of th few wide-awake men In the
d twnlng republic realized thnt without the
stimulation of an Occidental Idea into the
Oriental crisis the Chinese puzzle would
never be worked
Doctor (loodnow was chosen to solve that
puzzle He went to China, wrote the Con
stitution of Its 400,000,000 groping souls
and then acted as Yuan's leading advisor
"Itow republics are born'" Doctor flood
now repented the question Well, thev
are born differently " he said "There Is
Jap in for instance which woke up ver.v
quickly, adapted Itself to the western Idea
of civilization with marvelous speed and
shook off autocracy, If not overnight, at

"PAY BOCHES BACK IN KIND," FIRST LINE
TRENCH SLOGAN, FIGHTING PARSON SAYS
Bv M'l-ISS
"The Church is doing splendidly in this
.... i
It was thus that a flKhtlng parson who
's guest at the Drexel Institute conference
of educators dn the occasion of Its twenty
fifth anniversary gave answer to the chal
lenge that his fellow-countryman, II Q
Wells, has thrown out to all clergymen In
his latest nov'el, "The Soul of a Bishop '
The fighting parson Is Dr Bruce Taylor,
Assyrlologlst and Presbyterian clergyman.
For seven years he was pastor of St Paul's,
Montreal, nnd recently he has been ap
pointed principal of Queen's University, of
Kingston, Ont
At the outbreak of ha war he went to
the front ns chaplain of the Forty-second
Battalion of the Highlanders of Canada,
bis knees as bare as those of tho most
blasphemous sergeant War Is a great
leveler As he himself phrases It. "at the
front a man, even If he Is a, clergyman,
takes the name chances as the other
"He stands In the same front trench In
waist-deep water He Is struck by the
same shells, runs the same risks, cats the
same food and Is bitten by the same bugs "
POOH-POOHS H. O. WCTA.S
The courageous author of "Mr Brltllng,"
you remember, sums up his most recent
book with an indictment of the Church's
rolo In the war that must have got ynder
(he skins of those of the cloth who take
Mr. Wells seriously. The Church, tho
English author In the person of hlu bishop
concluded, has failed utterly to play Its
part In the war; Is. In fact, "out of It"
This. Doctor Taylor. In his accent, which
Is Scotch heavily overlarded with Canadian
English, pooh-poohed
"Wells's 'Bishop.' " he said with convic
tion "Is an outside bishop The character
Is obviously portmyed by one who Is not a
bishop. It is Just the sort of bishop Mr
Wells would write about I knew Wells
..- ...u ,tiTi i w.ia In Hncland I do
mot thlnlj, -the- Church takes his Bishop1
PCI 1UUOIJ.
The Church is playing Its part with
vigor. The chaplain Is a busy man In any
battalion. He Is In the thick of battle with
the stretcher-bearers and the doctors. There
Is the same risk In looking after the spir
itual welfare ns In looking after their
bodies. He cannot hold regular services,
because at the front wherever you congre
gate men there Is sure to be an enemy air
plane hovering over you and dropping
bombs, but he does his work In the front
line of trenches If necessary There has
been no slacking on the part of the
churches.
"The French-Canadian priests, however,
have much to answer for In the attitude of
the French-Canadian toward the conscrip
tion problem in Canada. They are tilling
their 'people to stay home and populate the
world, while the others do the fighting, and
their people are listening."
Tho Canadian soldier, though one of the
most valiant In the world-. Doctor Taylor
said, Is beginning to resent the compli
ments that have been showered upon him,
DEFENDS KNOLAND
"It makes us sick," this redoubtable par
ion said, twirling his little Scotch swagge
cap, 'to hear that England Is not doing
the fighting, but Is leaving all the hard
work to her colonies. This Is untrue. The
Canadian does not want praise at the ex
pense of his Kngllah brother, Canada has
but one-eighth as many troops In the Held
Is England has, nnd her casualties have
been only one-eighth of England's. The
great universities of England are cmpMed

thev will take time. Japan had a wrll
nrg.inlred feudal svsteni built up when
tho hnngp came about The people. In the
habit of obejlng tho teudal masters, took
orders and followed them out
"llussln and China h ive no such organi
zation In inan.v of the outl.vlng districts
the onlv point of contact that they have
with their (Jovernments Is the tact that they
pay tribute The 'republic Idea' takes hold
slowly and giaduall ; It Is Impossible to
sav how slowly "
"Will China be a bone of contention nfter
the war ' Doctor (loodnow was nsked : "will
sho be a temptation for op!oitatton and
thus an obstacle to world peace""
If not actuallv on her bark," Doctor
("loodnow replied, "China W at least very
nearly so. If aftei the war the I'owcis
decide to tu-ognlze the rights of tho weaker
nations, China will have a chance of work
ing out her salvation; if not, then thero

"There Is no doubt about tho truth of
what has been published about the German
atrocities," ho continued, "hut the half has
not been published. All war is frightful, It

FIVE GENERATIONS JOIN
IN WEDDING ANNIVERSARY
A quiet little celebration, with rive gen

held tonight by Mr and Mrs Charles II
Bodlne at their home 1914 North Marvlne
street, lit honor of their sixty-fifth wedding
anniversary.
Two children, four grandchildren, nine
great-grandchildren and four great-greatgrandchildren

Mr and Mrs Bodlne were married at
Itoadstown, X J. where they spent the
first twenty-eight ears of their married
life He was a carriage mnker by trade
and followed that business after they moved
to this city
Neither Mr nor Mrs. Bodlne has had a
serious Illness during their long married
life, nor has there been a death in tho fam
ily down to the present generation. Mrs
Bodlno declares that she and her husband
have never spoken a cross word to each
other, und that their slxty-flve years of
happiness had been duo to a spirit of "give
and take" on the part of ench and a faithful
observance of their marriage vows
Mr. Bodlne Is rather proud of the fact
that he has never touched Intoxicating
liquors or tobacco, nnd believes that this
perhaps has had something to do with his
long lite.

VALUE OF SAVING
TAUGHT TO PUPILS
School Lesson on Liberty Loan
Points Out Benefit of
Thrift
The following lesson on the l.lbcrtv Loan
will be given In all the lt schools next
Monday
I liko to sppnd money I can alwajs
buy something that at the moment I think
I want. There ate some things, such as
food, clothing, nnd shelter, thnt I must have.
There aro other things like candy, movies,
chewing gum, Jevvclrv, fancy clothing and
Won t you please till In the blanks
that I know perfectly well 1 can get
along without
Some day I muv not have a father or
mother to furnish me food, clothing and
shelter Then If 1 can't earn It myself.
I slmll have to sleep, hungry and ragged,
on tho park benches and In doorways, ot
appeal to n cold and tnrdj charity. Hut If
I save now some of the money 1 should
like to spend for things that aro unneces
sary, I can use that for necessities
How can I save? Do vou remember the
little debate ou had with yourself yester
day over the question of snving or spend
ing? Perhaps you were talking about a
coat or hot The old one was perfectly
comforlablo and respectable, but you want
ed tho pleasure of n new one. How did the
debate come out'' You will ptobably go on
holding these debates all your life. You
will get In the habit of having them come
out one wav or the other. If they come
out In favor of thrift and saving, you will
always have money. If they como out in
favor of extravagance you will always be
"hard up "
This time thero la mom at stako than
mere saving. You have heard of the bat
tlo between a hero and a monster to de
cide whether or not the monster should
cat u beautiful maiden. Don't you think the
maiden would have helped If she could? The
battle Is on now to decide our destiny.
If the monster wins, you will give not
lend your money to tho power that has
robbed you of your liberties; you will give
your time to military training to prepare
to light the monster yourself, you will llvo
a life of fear of the frlghtfulncss and cruel
ty of a despotism
Your Government, tho hero that Is light
ing for you, asks you to help In Its battlo
for you by saving and helping your patents
to save to buy a, Liberty Bond.
The next lesson will tell you nbout a
Liberty Bond as an Investment.

cense for the marriage of Mils Clara R
wehti. of Philadelphia, and Harry N. Chera-
shore, of the reserve officers' training camp
at Fort Oglethorpe, has been Issued her.
Miss Eehll herself, applied for the license,
saying that fherasnore was unable to ob
tain lv to joos W town. They U t
Men In close touch with tho situation
say ex-Judge Dlmner Beeber probnb.y will
be elected president of the Hoard of Educa
tion at the meeting on Monday, November n,
to succeed Henry II. Kdmunds, who has an
nounced his determination to retire.
Tho policy of the hoard for several years
past has been determined very largely by
a group of men, according to persons fol
lowing closely educational condition In this
city. This group Is composed of Simon
Grats, vice president and senor member;
Kdwln Wolf, chairman of the finance com
mittee; John Wnnamaker and Dlmner Beo
ber, chairman of tho committee on high
schools for bos. The last three named
have been closely associated with one an
other. The president of the board said some time
ago, "Wanamaker Is discursive, Beeber Is
logical and argumentative and Wolf Is com
bative " The combination of four Is a
powerful one, and It Is predicted that It will
elect the president and that Mr. Beeber
will be the choice.
Mr. Wanamaker la too busy to give the
time required by tho duties as president.
It Is said that ho would net permit his name
to be proposed. Mr. Wolf, ns custodian
of the board finances, an arduous post, by
virtue of that post antagonized other mem
bers. He Is nlso one of the younger men.
At tho present time there Is a vacancy on
the board caused by the resignation of
Alexander Simpson, Jr, last spring. This
will not be filled by the Board of Judges
until after tho meeting In November. Kx
Judge Beeber Is exceedingly popular with
his thirteen colleagues None of the four
teen Is willing to express preference for
any one man, but In every list of ellglbles
suggested Dlmner Beeber has been included
One ofllclal of the board said that Simon
Grats could have the presidency It he
wanted It He held this position for one
term. Ho accepted It nt that time with tho
understanding that It would bo for one term
only. He has definitely announced that he
will not bo a candidate this fall.
Dr. Edward Mnrtln has been mentioned
However, It Is thought that his many other
duties would prevent his accepting the elec
tion. In the past ho has been extremely
netlvo In school matters, but recently has
found It necessary to neglect this; work.
No one other member of the board stands
out as being In line for tho presidency,
with tho possible exception ,f Waltei
George Smith. He Is a candidate for Itcgls
ter of Wills on tho Town Meeting party
ticket and president c-f tho American Bar
Association. It Is said that this would
make It Impossible for him to undertake to
hend the board
