"If we are not shall we not soon take steps to do whatever has been omitted? The full text of the former Presi dent's letter follows: "Memorial Day has always been one of our most solemn and thoughtful an niversaries when we recalled great memories . and dedicated ourselves again to the maintenance and puri fication of the Nation, but this year it has an added and tremendous sig nificance because the memories and sacrifices of the great world war are now among the most stimulating of the recollections of the day. "We celebrate the immortal achieve ments of the men who died in France on the field and in the trenches, far away from "home, in order that both our own people and the peoples across the seas might be delivered from the ugliest peril of all history It is our privilege not only to indulge a high and solemn pride and grief for the heroies of that great struggle but also to rededicate ourselves to the achievement of the great objects for which that war was fought. We shall not be happy; we shall not be able ot enjoy the full pride of the day's recollections until ,we have made, sure have been fulfilled to the utmost. "Are we sure? If we are not shall we not ' soon take steps to do what ever has been omitted. Cordially yours, WOODROW WILSON." COMPLAINT AGAINST RENT PROFITEERING Are Now Being Made in Havana Attacks Made Almost Daily ( in Newspapers. Havana, Cuba, May 28 Bitter com plaints are being made here against rent profiteering. Attacks are made almost daily in the newspapers on pro fiteering landlords. Numerous cases of three-room apartments for which $150 a month is demanded, with one month's rent in advance and" two months' rent as deposit, are cited. One relief project being considered for submission to the city council pro vides, for the appropriation of $1,000, 000 yearly for-a number of years to construct four-room homes for the poorer' peeple at a cost of about $3, 000 each.

Nashville, Tennv May 28. "The Christian education movement is no longer a great undertaking of a great Church, but an individual enterprise, was tjte statement given out by A. C. Marts, acjvisory director in com-, mencing upon the prospects for final success when the Christian educa tion movement reaches' its climax; with the putting on the drive for the big educational fund. Mr. Marts stated further, "What was the churchs responsibility in January 1921 has be- come an individual responsibility in May 1921. From this time on the movement is a searching challenge to two million individuals to tnink of the undertaking not as tne Christian education movement of the Meth odist Episcopal church,. South, but as an individual responsibility for the Christian education of America When we are driven by the compulsion of personal accountability we will not spare ourselves in energy, devotion, intercession or giving When, we, as individuals, have one by one, paid tiie price in our own hearts and wills, then we, as a church, can render this saving service tp the world. Leaders of the movement in this section say that during the past six months the Methodist Epicopal church south has forced upon the attention of the people it serves an ideal which has already begun-to exercise a far reaching influence, and that the de velopment of education throughout the south will be affected for years to come by the church's commitment to an enterprise which is planned to result in Christian character. They state further that it is not the cus tom of Methodists to erect an ideal and then walk away from it, but that during the approaching financial drive in behalf of the Christian education movement, that will seek to make tha ideal effective by a sweeping victory for the various goals sought. The date for the Church-wide fin ancial appeal is May 29 -June 5 and the amount to be" raised throughout be. applied to the improvement and enlargement of its 91 educational plants. It is said that between one and two million dollars has already been subscribed to the fund. PICTURE'S PRICE French Painted Sells Picture for Mere Song then Learns of -Its Great Value. Paris, May 28. M. Gassy, a Pari sian painter, was strolling past an art dealer's shop somtime ago when he recognized a landscape which he had hastily splashed on the canvass in his Latin Quarter days years ago and then disposed of for a song. Curious to ascertain what yrices was asked for the picture he entered the sliop and nearly suffered a stroke when the dealer said: "40,000 francs." 'You dealers are great humorists," he admonished the shopkeeper, "I know what that jcanvass is worth; I painted it myself." "Please begin by being serious yourself" replied the dealer coldly, "this is a -genuine Whistler, why don't you look at the signature" The Painter had the dealer sum moned before a committee of experts which has just .reported that the painting is not a Whistler but the work of M. Gassy, the plaintiff in the case. ' The picture is ;now on sale for 1, 500 francs.

A large number of mobile troops, the newspaper says, are to be employ ed in a systematic "round-up,of .re bels" over large areas, but, itadds, the details have not been settled, as owing to the.continuance of a state of "emergency through the industrial troubles, and the need of sending troops to Silesia, it is difficult to spare troops at present.
