GIRLS IN CITIES.
The young girl who tried dramatic

ently through disappointment on1

Washington Poet. The responsibility
for such an outcome must be borne by
those who are In duty bound to give
their children right views of life. The
sight of a young girl, however preco
clous, going to a city like New York
without friends or advisers to whom
he would listen, and very evidently
head-strong and Impulsive, there It
spend two years writing a book nm)
precious manuscripts which she ro
mantlcally wlxhes to be burled with
Her, calls forth nothing but pity. Hut
this sentiment does not obscure the
fact that the girl was pi-nnltted to
gain a false view of herself and her
relations with the world. Acts such
us hers In no degree justify the whole
sale condemnation of the business life
of our cities or warrant the sweeping
statement of a young girl facing at
once both womanhood and eternity in
saying that "a girl cannot get along
honorably In New York."
Still another use for automobiles
The town of Jamaica, K I., had an
unpleasant time when a maJn burst
and the water supply was shut off
completely. To Bay nothing of the an
noyance, Inconvenience and danger in
private dwellings, the orphan asylum
and other institutions were subjected
to especially distressing experiences.
To meet at least partially the demand
an automobile service was organized,
the machines going with tanks, bar
rels and other receptacles to points
where water could be obtained and
bringing it to those In need. This was
at best but a poor substitute for the
regular system, yet it proved that In
lime of stress the auto Is a valuable
auxiliary.

That kindly act has brought a rich re

influence that will be exerted through
the absorption of American Ideas by
the bright young men who are the
beneficiaries of the arrangement.

Cincinnati, O. (Special). One
great, purpose of the General Con
vention of the Protestant Episcopal
Church, in session here. Is to broaden
the work of the missions In the do
mestic and foreign Molds, and a day
was dovoted to a great missionary
meeting, the bishops, laymen and
clerical deputies and members of the
Women's Auxiliary sitting in the

Sloane, of Albany, N. Y., presented
the triennial report of the Board of
Missions, showing that more than
$6,000,000 have been given to the
mission work of the Kpiscopal
Church since the last triennial con
vention, and 162 missionaries have
been added to the home and foreign
staffs.
John W. Wood, corresponding sec
retary of the board of missions. In
reviewing the progress of the mis
sions, said $28,000,000 has been
spent by the church for missions In
the Inst 75 years; but he pleaded for
larger contributions.
Some interesting figures were
given by the Rev. J. Nowton Perkins,
of New York, secretary of the
American Building Fund Commis
sion, which loans money to parishes
to build new churches, rectories and
parish houses, and for the purpose
ot building churches and chapels, of
ten making free gifts. He reported
that the funds amount to $540,000.
The commission has been In exist
ence for 30 years and In that time
have provided several million to aid
churches In erecting new houses ot
worship.
The report of the Board ot Mis
sions said In part:
"During the last three years over
$5,000,000 has been received In
fiscal gifts for the extension of the
kingdom. Offerings and gifts from
living donors amounted to $2,964,
829. Legacies during the same period
amounted to $408,426. The total
from these two sources was $3,363,
255. The difference between that
and the total sum was met by spec
ial gifts.
"The total for work In the United
States was $1,568,240. The board
also supported 21 bishops."
Since 1907, the board received
from the Sunday School Auxiliary
$21,464. The cost of administering
the church's mission work through
out the world during the past year
was 6.9 per cent, of the total passing
through the board's treasury.

Washington, D. C. (Special).
Congress will be called upon by the
War Department at the coming ses
sion to create a reserve corps of
trained soldiers men who have seen
service In the Regular Army or the
mllltla organizations, and who will
be In Immediate readiness for war.
To this end, It is said, the depart
ment will work hand in hand with
the militia organizations of the vari
ous States. A program for the gen
eral betterment of the fighting force
of the nation is to be discussed, out
lined and decided upon, when the
War Department experts attend the
coming annual session of the militia
organizations of the various States,
which is to meet In St. Louia.
When Congress convenes, it is ex
pected that the department will Im
mediately submit its report on the
McLaughlin resolution, adopted by
the House, which seeks accurate in
formation as to the ability of the
United States to defend Itself against
the attack of an enemy, with especial
reference to the defenses of the Pa
cific Coast. The resolution was intro
duced In Congress by Representative
McLaughlin, of Pasadena, Cal who
reflects the general sentiment of the
Pacific Coast members over the Jap
anese war scare.
The report of the War Department.
It Is said, will be plain and truthful
and will show that the country Is
wofully deficient In the ability to de
fend itself, were it to become engaged
in a conflict with a world power.
At present there is only an avail
able army of 140,000 men trained in
the art of war for Immediate defense.
Sixty thousand of these are militia
and 80,000 regulars. As a defender
of either the Atlantic or Pacific
Coasts, this army would be absolutely
insufficient, it is said.
A world power war would mean a
mighty naval conflict. With Japan
the fighting would be on the Pacific.
Defeated and our Pacific fleets de-
troyed, Japan would practically have
this country at her mercy in landing
an invading army. Within a month
she could put more men from trans
ports than our combined regular and
militia strength.
