EMPTY CHURCHES
DUE TO FREEDOM
British Student Believes
Great Religious Move
ment Impends.
By EARL C. REEVES.
International News Semice Staff
Correspondent.
London, Sept. 10 It is the emancipa
tion of women that has emptied the
churches.
The world is not going to the bad.
On the conrtary, a great religious
movement impends.
Dr. R. F. Horton, of Hampstead, cuts
into a national discussion on "Why Has
England No Time for God?" with the
above explanation of one of the mys
teries of the day, and a most reassuring
argument concerning the world's moral
state.
"A oontKjhutory cause to the appar
ent indifference of religion today is the
change in the status of women.
"Women are not now so -religious as
men.
"THROW OFF RESTRAINTS."
"In the past women were the support
of the church. The emancipation of
women has tended to make thorn throw
off the restraints and practices of the
church, and I think you would not find
that the churches are so empty because
the women are absent. The sudden as
sumption of position in the world has
brought a reaction which is very dis
turbing. "But only for a moment. I have
strong conviction that the world will
right itself. I am surprised that the
war has not produced in England a
greater spiritual and moral collapse,
and I gather great hopes from thii
fact.
"People are not nearly so bad as we
are inclined to think.
"ANTICIPATE RELIGIOUS MOVE
MENT. "Personally I anticipate a great re.
ligious movement, not in the form of a.
revival, but in a change of religious
forms, which will make the religion that
is taught fit the new ideas and wider
knowledge of our time.
"I can see no indifference to the
great questions of life, and of the soul
and of God. but only signs of -maladjustment
between the old ways and the
new knowledge-
"The improvement in life and habits
today, is due to. a religious life which
has not come much to the front. There
is a greater sobriety and greater de
cency, and London is almost a reformed
city compared with what it was when
I first came here. This is due to a
religion which works not through th
churches, but through education, litera
ture and many other spheres."

PIER HOMES OF
RATS ARE RAZED
Hordes of High and Low
Cast Rodents to be
Ejected.
New York, Sept. 10. An army of a
million rats, driven from their homes
beneath the old wooden wharves of low-
fer Manhatan by the advent of the con
crete pier has met its collectivedoom
in the cold waters of the Hudson and
East rivers.
A rat will sooh.be a rarity along Goth
am's waterfront. ' Hordes of high and
low-caste rodents from every land on
earth infested Sew York's seawall for
decades. With the advance of modern
construction health officials foresee the
passing of the bubonic plaguo peril
and the elimination of the most igno
minious of disease carriers.
Pity the New York waterfront rat,
homejess and friendless. Not that we
would suggest a drive to relieve their
increasing sorrows. But a tinge of pity
would notr be out of place in view of
the old residence that the rat has en
joyed beneath the keyboard of Man
hattan's shore-line. Eventually what
is left of this breed will have lost so
cial standing among the punier inland
hordes that are satisfied to infest
stables, old tenements and to frolic be
neath kitchen floors.1
KATS hKurM EVERYWHERE
Tha New York rat is different from
his brethreii. He is cosmopolitan to be
gin with They have no Blue Book
among them, it is true, but had they
one is is certain many famous rats
would be enrolled therein. Huge ro
dents from the aromatic wharves of
far Samartra, pirate giants from the
Chelsea piers, quaint rats from San
Francisco's picturesque waterfront, to
which they came perhaps from far
Ceylon or the dimly-lighted whaves of
Shanghai. Rats from Java and Edin
burgh, rats from Calcutta, Bombay and
Colon, more rats from Pernambuco and.
Stockholm all these- grace, or disgrace
the thousand alleys beneath the wooden
Battery wharves.
But only one army of an estimated
million rats has so far permanently
disbanded. Armies of many more mil
lions of rodents remain to be van
quished by the builders of concrete
piers. According to Health Commission
er Dr. Royal Copeland, the evacuation
and eternal retreat of th? waterfront
rat is a necessity and an end to be
brought about at the earliest possible
date. For it is asseverated tflftt the
greatest potential peril to the lives of
New York's seven million, and far that
matter, the lives of all who dwell within
the borders of the nation, is the peril
of the great white plague. The g.".rm
of this terrible disease is bome by the
rat flea.
,'IHRS ! ARBOR DISEASE
nasmuch as Manhattan Island is en
tirely surrounded by piers,' few of which
are rodent free. Dr. Copeland's admon
ition is considered timely by many phy
sicians. The modern concrete pier or rather
the method of constructing the con
crete pier will be responsible for t he
passing of the dre.ad carriers, accord
ing to Dock Commissioner Murray T-Tul-bert.
Rats reached their prospective
homes beneath the floors of old-fashioner
piers by way of X. supports nailed to
the wooden piles to keep them in place.
Thesa X suports are the stairways or
runways of the rats, which jump over
boards from the hsips and swim a few
feet under the piers to their future
abodes. But a. rat. cannot, climb a con
crete pier, because X supports are not
necessary between the concrete piles.
Modern pier experts declare that had
the builders of the old wooden wharves j
deliberately planned to provide homes
for the cosmopolitan rats and their pro
lific broods th?y couldn't have done bet
ter by the rats.

HOW TO LIVE FOREVER.
Recently we asked our pet scientist
to done out the system of attaining
long life, for the benefit of our read
ers. He has worked on the 6as-i faith
fully and presents the following rules:
1. Be careful and do not drink wa
ter from poisoned wells. If vou must
I drink w'ater drink city water or bot
tled spring water.
2. Contract no disease. This 1? im
portant and should be followed by every
one, young and old. If no one; con
tracted an5 disease the death rate
would be much lower.
3. Never stand in front of n rapid
ly moving railroad train or automo
bile. 4. Marry early and if necessary of
ten. Although a married person (of
either sex) may in reality not live long
er than a single person, it seems long
er. 5. Do not eat oysters without re
moving" the shells. Next to doughnuts-,
oyster shells are the hardest food to
digest.
6. Do not call a man a liar any
where wrest of the Mississippi or south
of the Mason and Dixon line. It is
much safer in. the east.
7: Do not smoke a cigarette or cigar
in a celluloid collar factory.
8. Never be an innocent bystander.
That is the most dangerous occupation
in the world.

yell, "Hurrah for Leon Trotzky!"
