ALLIES DEFEAT
SOVIET ARMY
IN HARD FIGHT
Japanese Bear Brunt of Bat
tle; Americans Not
in Line
Vladivostok, Monday, Aug. 26.
The enemy in considerable numbers
attacked desperately along the
Ussuri front last Saturday. All the
allied forces participated in the
fighting, except the Americans. Up
ward of 300 of the enemy were
killed.
The Japanese bore the brunt of
the fighting. They captured two
armored trains and several Held
Runs. . , ~ .
According to a wounded Ur,ech,
the Japanese, infuriated by finding
mutilated comrades on the battle
field, charged and routed the enemy
in the face of heavy machine gun
and rifle lire.
The Japanese report that the al
lied troops are advancing steadily.
Entente and Czeeho-Slovak pa
trols to-day succeeded in disarming
all the Russian volunteers who had
revolted and had gone over to Lieu
tenant General Horvath, the anti-
Bolshevik leader In Eastern Siberia.
After a discussion lasting an hour,
the council of commanders present
ed an ultimatum to the troops in
revolt who numbered 400. They
were told they could return to the
allegiance of General Tolstoff. there
by restoring the status quo; join
General Semcnoff's forces in Man
churia or submit to disarmament.
Last night the entente allied and
Czeeho-Slovak patrols appeared in
the streets in the vicinity of the bar
racks and virtually besieged the rev
olutionaries. The latter apparently
had been warned and they closed
their doors to the allied emissaries
and refused to treat with them for
hours.
Eeventually, however, they sub
mitted to disarmament without vio
lence. Thus an intolerable situation
promising local disturbances was
ended.
General Horvath thus completely
falls in his attempt, with the aid
of General Pleshkoff, to establish a
dictatorship in Siberia.
Lieut. D. Robertson,
Veteran, Dies at 87
Brooklyn.—Lieutenant David Rob
ertson, U. S. A., who had been a hos
pital steward on Governor's Island
for sixty-four years, being the oldest
enlisted man in the United States
Army, both in years and in service,
and who numbered among his friends
practically every officer from the
days of Grant to those of the present
day. is dead at Governor's Island. He
had been uiling only a week, and the
cause of his death was given as in
firmities of age, as he was 87 years
old.
Although retired on full pay by a
special act of Congress in March of
1911, as a reward for his faithful ser
vice to the Government. Lieutenant
Robertson continued to live on Gov
ernor's Island and work in the post
dispensary until his recent illness.
Lieutenant Robertson was born in
Scotland and was graduated from the
University of Edinburgh. He came to
America when he was 21 years old,
and in May, 1854, he enlisted on Gov
ernor's Island, where he was a hos
pital steward. He could have retired
on half pay after thirty years of ser
vice, but he preferred to continue in
active service. Lieutenant Robertson
served under Grant, Sherman, Sheri
dan, Hancock, and many other famous
officers.
A movement started to retire Lieu
tenant Robertson under a special act
of Congress on full pay was learned
of by former President Taft, when he
was Secretary of War, and he not only
gave it his endorsement, but drew up
the bill, which was passed by Con
gress while he was President. The
bill was endorsed by Senator Ellhu
Itoot and nearly every officer who had
held a leading position at the post for
the twenty-five years prior to that
time. The bill provided for his re
tirement as second lieutenant, his
rank previous to that time being that
of sergeant.
Lieutenant Robertson made a repu
tation for himself in his activity and
devotion in the care and treatment
of wounded and sick soldiers on'the
island during the Civil War. There
were between 8,000 and 4,000 on the
island at one time. He nursed sol
diers and civilians through three epi
demics of cholera and two of yellow
fever.
Lieutenant Robertson left a daugh
ter, Claire Robertson, and a son, Pri
vate Dudley Robertson, chief clerk in
the transportation department of the
Army. His wife died four years ago.
They celebrated their golden wedding
anniversary in 1911.

Divinity Schools
Warmly Defended
Philadelphia—Are the theological
schools turning out scholars, not min
isters?
Dr. George G. Bartlett, dean of the
Protestant Episcopal Divinity School,
says they are. The Rev. Dr. William
H. Roberts, stated clerk of the Pres
byterian General Assembly, speaking
for the Presbyterian Church, does not
agree with him.
Dr. Bartlett's attack on the divinity
schools of the country was made in
an address at a conference; of theo
logical professors and administrators
of the United States and Canada at
Harvard University.
"Professor Bartlett is entitled to
his opinion," said Dr. Roberts, when
nsked for his view, "but I think it is
limited td the churches of which he
has special knowledge. So far as
Presbyterian theological seminaries
are concerned, beginning with Prince
ton, the oldest of them, the efTort is
♦o turn out competent ministers who
FRIDAY EVENING,
have an education which fits them for
their high calling:. Presbyterians have
ulways believed in an educated min
istry.
In Ills address at Harvard, Dean
Bartlett said the schools are trying
to turn out scholars instead of prac
tical ministers, and that as a result
the lack of enthusiasm on the part
of the students themselves has be
come a real tragedy. He advocated
a radical readjustment of the whole
range of theological training.
' The existing curricula of divinity
schools, he said, "are inadequate to
make prospective ministers compe
tent to meet the demands of human
nature.
"The primary, though not the no
blest duty of the seminary, is not to
breed scholars but to train men for
the ministry.
In this country there are fewer
niches and livings for scholars. We
should have some system correspond
ing to the followshlps of Oxford and
needs for boys and girls are in abundant
readiness in every part of the store.

When we conserve, we save, and it's a patriotic duty to save on clothing. It means more
wool for soldiers and those doing war-work. It means better clothing for you. Finer
fabrics and better tailoring, with prices that have been made as low as good quality will permit.
