''It is not toy intention.'' he said, "to start anything sensational. My lielief is that the Church exists not to set its sail for every wind that Mows, hut to raise the whole standard of life. I lielieve in the application of Christian principles to every aspect of modern life. A narrow Christianity is no Christianity at all."

Britn in must choose between strict government control of the Ihpior traffic or absolute prohibi tion, in the opinion of Lord O'Aliernon, chairman of the Liquor Control Roard. "If the iiiest ion is considered broad ly there are only two policies, control or prohibition," said Lord D'Abernon. "Reversion to the old pre-war conditions would mean drunkenness, inefficiency, ill health, disease and the misery which has notoriously resulted from drunken habits in the past. "I believe that control is possible. The experience of the war shows that temper ance and efficiency can be obtained by regulation. I believe the litpmr trade is susceptible to reform. Recent declara tions by leaders in the trade, appear to me to warrant the belief that the new school in the brewing trade is gain ing a hearing, ami that they have real i.ed that the old methods of the anti reform whole hog indulgence advocates are no longer suitable to modern condi tions. The same change is in evidence among licensed victuallers. I get many letters from them urging that there be no return to the old hours, during which their work lasted. 17 hours instead of six daily and when the conditions fur public house servants were a scandal. "There can be no doubt that the posi tion of licenses is enormously better than before the war. They work shorter hours, they have not the same ditliculty with drunkenness and they certainly do not make less money. WOMEN POLICE OFFICERS HAVE MADE GOOD LONDON, Sept. 16, (Correspondence of The Associated Press 1. After ten months of trial the higher authorities of the Metropolitan police have decided that women police officers have made good, and the Km now on duty will be retained. They must be of good education, possess ing tact, kindliness and a sympathetic nature willing to work seven hours a day for $1(1 a week and be ready at all times for duty. The force was recruited from the patrol workers of the National Union of Wo men Workers employed by the commis sioner in 1SH6 to ai'l in the protection of the city. They did excellent work, but last November it was felt that the pressing need for them had passed, and they were disbanded. The cessation of hostilities, however, brought thousands of young officers from the fighting front to London, and the fear that an orgie of dissipation might follow the rigors of life in the trenches induced the police to retain K'ii picked women for lity in the night life sections. Their work was preventive in a large measure, particular attention being de voted to young girls who might be at tracted to such places. So well did they carry out the plan that their pi imanent worth has now been recognized. These police women may be set u any night in the West Kiel, covering regular beats near the theaters and hotels in pairs, dressed in navy hh:e, with a business-like cap and regulation whistle, they work under the direction of a woman chief whose headquarters are in Scot land Yard. If a woman is accosted by some nian who does not know her she can cause his arrest by appealing to the woman officer, and it frequently happens arrests are made without complaint. All women applicants for the force are trained for eight weeks in the regu lar duties of a jiolieenian, but they are not sworn in as constables, and they are only liable for such duty as the commis sioner may direct. "All our women are most carefully chosen," said their chief, Mrs. Stanley, "but we have no place for the 'prude or the prowl '. ' ' LONDON, Sept. IS. The total mili tary force recruited from all races of the British Empire for the war was 8, 650,000. according to the figures of the new Blue Book issued by the War Cabi net. Of this number England furnished 4.000,oO. The total casualties are given as 3, 000,000, of whom 606.000 were killed. Those Boston cops spilled the beans. Colurnbus Dispatch. we CrlAO TO 04 ALL WC C4V BERLIN FACES A WINTER OF FREEZING. BKWLIN, Sept. II. 'Correspondence of The Associated Pros. I Merlin faces a winter with little or no coal and con sequent freezing conditions, lack of elec tricity, gas ami lighting and in addition a shortage of dwellings. Up to now the government has in most cases contented itself with appealing to house owners who have more than enough room to volunteer some space to those without shelter. The replies have been exceedingly few, and those in power are seriously considering an adaptation of the system in vogue in Budapest and Mu nich during the soviet regimes. That is, the authorities would forcibly take over parts of certain houses. A Berlin magistrate has ordered all the war companies, most of them in pro cess of dissolution or entirely dissolved, out of their spacious quaiters which they had enjoyed for the period of the war to provide phncs fur those u!o have no homes. Neuki elln. a suburb of I'lilin, has at tempted to help solve the filiation by building emergency houses. Another suburb. Gruennvi, proposes to colitis-ate the dwellings of I -a, t.ehu s and put families in them. Ihouii it is not stated what would be done with thebacli elois. Other suburbs pi. in t confiscate, fir the winter at least, the homes of summer guests that stand empty all win ter, and till them with the homeless. One suburb has already taken this step. The city of Berlin has erected in the Teni pelhofer I'haussee district a model house of clay, and will duplicate them en masse if it is found that they are prac ticable. The dwelling authorities plan in tie erection, as soon as possible, of .",oi i permanent residences of a modest character. The dwelling authorities plan one and two family houses with garden, and lar ger family houses with a number of a partmcnts. and a tiny garden to each dwelling. Average building costs are estimated i unservatively at A 1 J times the peace rate. The government has already obtained control of some 7,000 empty stores, gar rets, work plants, barracks and tempora ry structures to shelter those in pressing need. A total of Jo.oOo.OOO marks has thus far been voted or raised for these emergency measures, swarms of people from the occupied ter ritories are arriving in Merlin, increas ing the need faster than measures can be taken to alleviate it. The dwelling asso ciation issues warnings repeatedly a gainst the influx into Merlin, but without much effect. SEARCHING FOR LOST PACIFIC CONTINENT HONOLULU. T. II.. Sept. 1 ;.

Professor Douglas I. Campbell of the botany department of Stanford Univer sity thinks that in certain s-po.-imct's of ferns found on the island of Hawaii he . has established the fact that at some period there was land connection between , the Hawaiian group and the islands to the south and west through to the Malay peninsula. Professor T. A. Jaggar, Jr.. 1 in charge of the federal observatory at , Kilausa volcano, agrees with Professor Campbell's theory, asserting that there are geological indications that the islands of the Pacific were once connected. Seeking data in support of Professor Campbell 's theory, Professor W. A. Bryan of the College of Hawaii is now touring the west coast of fsouth America and the South Sea Islands. PRETORIA, Sept. 14. At a mass meeting held here today to consider the question of Asiatics in the Transvaal, a resolution was adopted declaring that the meeting "views with the greatest alarm the serious menace to the economic and social welfare of the inhabitants of the Transvaal occasioned by the continued encroachment of Asiatics and advocates immediate measures to deal with this question." - A few centuries from now the reform ers will be telling us that nine tenths of the erime is caused by coffee and chew ing gum.

Lieut. Mayriard also was on duty there, serving as a test pilot, his duty being to try out the newly-assembled planes hy putting them through all the in. s- .,,us stunts.

The i-.iman studied his machines carefully and knows them thoroughly, with the result that he makes their engines perform at maximum efficiency. At Hotnarantin, among his fellow officers, Lieut. Maynard wag high ly regarded, both as an individual and as an airman. The recklessness, as airmen would re gard bis flying in the transcontinental flight, always has characterized Lieuten ant Maynard 's flying. At Kotnarantin, it was he who provided tho thousands of mechanics with a "daily circus. In the af ternoons, unless the air conditions were unfavorable, he would take someone of the several makes of machines at the landing field and go into the air, prompt ly solely hy the desire to help the fel lows below break the iniinotiiiy of army life of the inns; stressing kind, for in those days ever.v energy of the American air service was being bent toward over coming the - no,,. o n, y ,,f ti e air that had been won by ( lermany.

The job of testing newly assembled planes was largely devoid of the spec tacular, ai.d no opport unit v was offered for winning ineduls and running up a li-t of air victories, but it did require a pilot whose nelvesi were useful only for controlling the Might and whose aid in life appaientlv wa- a desire to fall far and hit hard.

Mr. Major, who spent almost .1 year at the Romarantin plant, where hundreds of Liberty motors were assembled, and who worked with them, says this motor will not heat ns quickly as most other types of airplane engines. He stated this to explain why it was that Lieut. Maynard could contin ue flying though the radiator of his ship was leaking.

In a letter from Amsk, Hiberia, Miss Charlotte liounlman Rogers, of New York City, who wan on the western front when the Kolchnk armiett recently evacuated a number of cities, writes a pitiable story of the horrors of typhus which she per sonally observed as a nurse of the Amer ican Red Cross. Under date of July 20 she says: "I have spent twenty-four hours in hell. Our train was stalled at the rail way station of I'etropavlovsk, Far West ern Siberia, and somewhere to the west of us the Red armies were coming on. "To the right of us, left of us, rear of us, were typhus fever trains box ears, passengers cars, twenty five, thirty, even thirty-live ears to a train and all loaded with men from the front and from the evacuated hoHp'itals, with hundreds thousands of patients dying of the dread disease. "No nurses waited on them, no doc tors administered medicines to Simulate the action of their weakened hearts. They lay on rough lard shelves erected around the sides and ends of the ears, or oil the floor where even cattlemen wodj have placed straw if animals were to be carried. No sanitary conveniences were supplied; the patients' clothes wefe stained with filth and blood; their feet caked with mud and manure; their bodies alive with little gray typhus lice the plague of Siberia. "Cheek bones protruded through their yellow skin, eyes sunken into their sock ets, hands like birds' claws stretched out with cups for water, they lay all day in the sweltering heat. "We tried to look away but all day long we heard them moan or call for their sanitary attendants. STOCKHOLM. Sept.
