This department, alwayg one of the most Important, is being glvon particular emphasis, according to Dr. li. D. Gray, corresponding serretury and executive head of the board. With the corps of evangelists and singers considerably augmented, it is possible to conduct evangelistic cam paigns in several sections simulta neously, and this policy is being fol lowed with marked success, under the directions of Dr. V. V. Hamilton, su perintendent of the department of evangelism, will be ono of the features of the January program. Dr. Hamil ton, with J. V. Jelks a singer, will spend the entire mouth in Panama, where the homo board conducts ex- Ithe overseas export market. Other wise, a serious congestion of coal loads will lnevitaby develop on the rail- roads."

The Austrian re public faces Its second year with foreboding. Hoth the political and economic situations are believed here td have grown daily worm since early autumn. The holiday season found Vienna with a reduced bread ration, virtually no fats and without fuel. Tho expect-j eel supply of coal from Czmiio-Slo- vaRIn has not been received, and public untllltles were kept partly in operation only by great efforts and economies. High hopes had been entertained from the visit of Chancellor Konner to the supreme council ut Paris. The I people expected thut Austria would obtain sufficient credit, food, fuel and raw material for tho resumption of their Industrial life. Now that the re sult of his Journey has becumo known the newspapers sound a note of de spair. One of them remarks that the decision of the supreme council that Vorarlberg may not separate from Austria means that that province Is condemned to suffer along with the rest of Austria until the ordinary na tive will have hardly sufficient for food and clothing becomes a luxury for even the comparatively well-to- do. Other provinces are seeking to free themselves from the burdens of Aus tria and turn ejsewhere for help. There have been rumors of an im pending revolt and declaration of In dependence In Tyrol. It Is charged In some quarters that the whole separa tion movement In the Austria pro vinces has been Inspired by Herman propaganda, with a view to establish ing u corridor between Germany and Austria. While Austria seems unable to Ob tain foreign credit for rehabilitation, there has been much comment here upon tho fact that foreign private capital has been diligently exploit ing tho country. It is asserted that the country has virtually been stripped of article de luxe, while Its remaining factories are unnblo to obtain raw material:). According to common re ports, foreign interests, principally Italian, have acquired enormous hold IngH of stock In Austrian Industrials and minis. The government is evenly balanced between soctallsts and conservatives, and thus far has been unable to give birth to constructive legislation look lug to the solution of many Internal problems fusing the country.

LANE IS EXPECTED TO RESIGN SOON BALTIMORE, Dec. 31 It is gen erally accepted here in financial cir cles that Mr. Franklin K. Lane, sec retary of the Interior will succeed former governor Edwtn Warficld as president of the Fidelity and De posit company of Mayland, who re signed about a month ago because of ill health. Van Lear Black or General Bladen Lowndes will succeed Mr. Warl'ield as president of the Fidelity Trust company, the two corporations to be segregated. Secretary Lane was a recent vis ltor to Baltimore. He met several leading financiers of the city. Prior to his visit the statement had been made by authority of the eecpetary that he would resign his cabinet port folio as soon as President Wilson's nealtn had so far Improved as to Jus tify a break in his official family. The president's recovery is reported to be so well established that Mr, Lane will be In a position to resign and coma to Baltimore on January 8, when it Is stated, a meeting of the board of directory's of the Fidelity company will be held to elect a new president GOLF RESULTS ON PINEHURST COURSE (Special to The Citizen.)

Progress Made. While it is not the purpose of the commission to discuss its work at any length until a final renort is ready, it is shown that substantial progress has been rtiBdc and there is confidence that out of the conference I will come some program that wilt be for tho appointment of the indus trial life of the country. Altho there has been no official announcement of the various subjects that the commis sion has considered and will con sider when it resumes its work this month, it is understood here that they will of necessity include such funda mental propostlons as permanent tri bunals to pass upon labor disputes) collective bargaining as a principle: profit-sharing systems: betterment of the conditions of labor; respective rights of labor and invested capital; co-operative agreements and possi ble partnerships between employes and employers. Whi)e It is true that the report of the commission may not' have a bind ing effect. If it is Just in Its terms and is supported by public opinion, it is generally admitted that the work of the body will prove of Inestimable ben efit to the country as a whole and prove the beginning of a new era in industrial relations. It is estimated that the expense of the commission will not exceed $25,- j uov. rne members serve without compensation, and if something tan gible results from its werk, It will be one of the cheapest and at the same time most profitable investments ever made. The conferees will in elude former governors, college pro feasors, business men, former gov ernment officials and the secretary of labor.
