4 JERSEY DECLARE WAR ON SALOONS Declare Enormous Food Val ues Wasted by Manufacture of Liquor Atlantic City:—The New Jersey Methodist Episcopal Conference adopted a resolution to-day con demning the liquor industry and sent a ropy of the resolution to President "Wilson, "We find our championing of food conservation measures," declared the resolution, "so earnestly besought by our government, is rendered ineffec tive to a very considerable degree by the knowledge of the people that, by sovernment sanction, food values are wasted in enormous quantities for drink, while a course of rigorous deprivation is urged upon all people in the matter of food." The rare! church and many other topics were taken up by a report made by the Social Service Commis - -n, which declared that the coun iry church was losing its grip. It recommended that the Board of Home Missions establish a demon stration station in some rural com munity and undertake constructive work in aid of the rural church. "The Church ig in danger of being overwhelmed by the new problems of the times," the Social Service • 'ommisslon continued, specifying some of the problems as those of housing, labor and Sunday. In New Jersey, it was pointed out, the sea shore, with its shifting population of many sorts, presented a problem of pressing importance. The lack of reference to amusements as a prob lem was taken as evidence of a vic tory of the liberals in the commis sion. "Stump work," says the report, ' presents another great problem. Open up the church during the week and create sentiment against evil. Make the churches social centers, bold entertainments and show mov ing pictures. Don't invest SIOO,OOO in a plant and have it shut down five days in the week." Addressing ministerial candidates, Kishop Berry declared that there were times when the best way of manifesting religion was at the polls. "There are times when it is more religious to vote than to pray," he said. "A man who goes around election days and prays is a mighty small type of Christian. We have i>een preaching the Gospel and let ling 'interests,' liquor and others, •steal from this land with little Inter ference. We have been praying and adopting resolutions and holding dis cussions. Liquor interests and all all others who are conducting nefar ious businesses are laughing up i heir sleeves at us because that is all that we did. . "We have been preaching and let ting them alone too long. Go out •side with your Gospel if you would werve God and your Church best. When you get back to your charges next week let every saloonkeeper and all his friends know you are on his trail and go and get him. Let's get this insolent monster."

At the Subway WEDNESDAY EVENING, RUSSIANS ADOPT GREGORIAN TIME George Washington Was Born Under the Ancient Julian Reckoning It has taken Russia since 1582 to adopt the Gregorian calendar, that monument to papal enterprise and the genius of Clavius which so close ly approximates the civil to the nat ural year that there will not be a day' 3 difference between them in 3000 years. The Bolsheviki did the act, advancing their calendar by thir teen days. It is perhaps best for us, says the New York Sun, not to speak unkindly about their laggard recog nition of Gregory XIII's improvement in time measurement, for it was not until 1751 that our English forebears allowed their commonsense to over come their sectarian prejudices and abandon the "old style." George Washington was born under the ancient Julian reckoning February 11, 1732; the act of the English par liament by which the change was made transformed the day after. September 2, 1752, into September 14. Probably the revolution in Russia would have done something to the calendar, no matter what system had been in force. Such is the habit of revolutions that overthrow social orders. The French revolutionists evolved a calendar based on philo sophical principles. It had twelve months of thirty days each, the new era dating from the minute of the autumnal equinox, September 22, which was the day from which the existence of the republic was reckoned, 'although the republic was formally proclaimed on September 21. A philosopher does not scorn a legal fiction. The French revolu tionists introduced five festal days—■ Sansculot-tides, at the end of each year to let the sun catch up with them, and an additional jour de la revolution fourth year, to cor rect the error not taken care of by these. This calendar endured until Napoleon Bonaparte restored the Gregorian system, January 1, 1806. Meanwhile .the Mohamedans use a lunar year of 354 days, of twelve months, which have alternately thir ty and twenty-nine days. No attempt is made to regulate the calendar to the solar year, and New Year's day may fall in any season; there is no correspondence between months and seasons. This is much opposed to our more orderly way, yet the fol lowers of the prophet do not seem to be downcast over this. They will probably be brought into lino some day, however, for the Gregorian cal endar is sensible, simple *and easy for everybody to understand. Find Lost Engagement Ring in a Mince Pie Poughlfeespie, N. Y. —Somewhere in France Fred Bogardus. one of the young men from this vicinity who is an active member of the Ameri can committee which is preparing to entertain the kaiser, has been worrying over the announcement from Miss Maude Lucas, three months ago, that she had lost the engagement ring he gave her. Fred can now devote his entire time to the big Hun hunt, for his fif.ncee, who lives at Plutarch, found the ring in a sector of mince pie.
