PESTILENCE CAUSED BY WAR-
Generally Understood That the Influ

Result of Great Conflict.
Sufficient time mis not yet elapsed
to determine the indirect effects of the
recent eruption of Mount Kloet in Java
which wiped out over a score of vil
lages and killed thousands of the na
tives. but recollections of Krakaton's
volcanic outburst in 1883 which within
six weeks sprinkled its fine lava dust
over the whole world, has given an in

The theory, therefore, has been

which many sectors of the fighting

the wind in every direction, causing
the influenza outbreak in Spain, Ger

Persian Envoy at Mount Vernon.
Shortly after Sir Julian Paunce
fote's coming to Washington a com
plimentary trip to Mount'Vernon was
arranged for him on the Mayflower,
which was the president's yacht.
Among the invited guests was the Per
sian minister. It was quite a social
and impressive event. The spectacle
of the minister of Great Britain pay
ing respect to the tomb and memory
of Washington did not. pass without
comment upon its historical signifi
cance. During the visit, the Persian,
envoy was observed to be standing in
profound reverie in front of the iron
gate of the tomb. He remained in si
lence for some minutes, and then,
doubtless full of obvious contrasts that
might occur to an oriental mind from
the land of shahs and of ivory pal
aces and gorgeous tombs, he turned to
a

Redeemed
By WALTER JOS. DELANEV
(Copyright. 1919, by the Western News
paper Union.)
They had rounded up Jim Marsh at
loo(.
0
1 last, and they were a stern, relentless
crowd. He had been a pest and a
tronblesotne customer generally, a law
and order influence was in the air,
The industrial work for the primary and his audacity in coming straight
back to the vicinity of his misde
meanors showed an incorrigibility
that boded 111 for reformation.
They were four in number, in tem
porary camp, and- Jim had hailed one
of them casually in the dark away
from the camp fire. Instantly the
man had recognized him, had grabbed
the bridle «f the hoi"se .Tim rode and
leveled a revolver.
"Hands up!" he had ordered, and
thus Jim was led within radius of the
blazing logs. Every man tnere was
promptly on his feet, hand at the hip
pocket, but Jim coolly shrugged his
Shoulders and said:
"I won't try one to four, seeing that
you all have your shooting irons with
you and me none."
"That's the last horse you stole, 1
see," observed the leader of the
group.
"Correct," nodded .Tim promptly.
"He's Judge Elston's daughter's horse.
I was on my way to return him to
her."
A general cry of derision greeted
this announcement.
"Don't believe me, eh? Well. I don't
blame you, but it's the truth. I not
mixed as to the exact road to Derby,
or you would never have had the
pleasure of stopping me. You look as
if it was that."
"You are precisely right," came the
stern reply of the leader. "Tie him to
that Uec yonder, men. It will be two
hours before we n»ove on for Chi[
perton."
"For \\1:ere?" queried Jim sharply,
a quiver of concern in his tones.
"For Ohipperton. Where did you
suppose we were going to take yon?"
"To Derby. Wasn't it there the
crime was committed? .Of course it's
jail for me. maybe hanging, but let it
be at Derby, men."
"Yes, it will be hanging." said the
leader, "and to make sure of it w#
won't trust your ease to a Derby
milk-and-water Jury. Your class of
thievery has become altogether too
common in this county of late, and
we vigilantes are going to act."
•Tim looked crestfallen. Reckless,
cool and boasting character that he
was, o* two of the men proceeded to
tie him to a tree Jim regarded them
nnxiousty, aiwost pleadingly.
"See here, fellows," he spoke. "I
have reason for wanting to be taken
to. Derby. I've a very important mes
sage. Maybe it means life or death,
to deliver to Mrs. Mabel Tuthill.
Can't you take me to Derby by way
of Chipporton? Come, now! Just tet
me have half a dozen words with the
Judge's daughter."
"You're keen, Jim, but it wou't work
in this case. You're just about slick
enough to get that tender-hearted
lady to plead for you. No, it's Chip
perton, straight and quick, and the
jury sets at daybreak."
"And the jumping off scene before
noon, so say your, prayers
The leader came up to him finally,
a lighted cigar in his mouth. "You're
too slippery a customer to trust with
free harids," Jim?*5 hie"said, "bnt we
watir tbJftreilf ydtf right. If
hungry, onev of
ry6tfre

"I had a. good meal less than an
hour ago," responded Jim. "There's
one thing you can do for me, though."
"What's thatr
"11: you have an extra cigar, light it,
put il in my mouth, and I'm sure I'd
enjoy it."
"Sure," nodded the other, and, see
ing "the captive saf« and comfortably
disposed, he returned to his follows.
"Why, he's gone!" yelled one of the
men, as they got ready to resume their
journey.
"Yes, and the horse, too!" echoed
another, and then speedily they
mounted and started out to try and
pick up the trail of the fugitive:
They came upon him four hours
later, mounted upon the stolen horse
and facing away from Derby, and
Mrs. Tuthill by his side. The men
touched their hats t» her but sur
rounded Jim.
"We'll have to take this man for
stealing your horse," began the
leader.
•That is not my horse," responded
Mrs. Tuthill. "I have Just given it to
him. Mr. Marsh went away on him
two months ago and h«s returned
after executing a mission which has
resulted in lifelong happiness for me."
The astounded vigilantes drew back
dilmfounded and" 'dismayed. The
word of a lady yke Mrs. Tuthill .could,
not be gainsaid. Jim grinned com
fortably. He and Mrs. Tuthill were
bound for quite a distance. Jim had
really stolen the horse, but later, In
jured by a fall, was cared for by Rob
ert Tuthill. The latter had got into
bad Ways, had deserted hi^ wife, but
was living in voluntary exile away
from his old companions. In "turn, he
became III and wais nursed by Jim,
who, learning his story, was now the
means of imparting* to Mrs. Tuthill
that a -penitent, redeemed husband
•waited her forgiveness with love and
contrition.

Men and Women Form Good Fel
lowship Club Together Under
Y. W. C. A. Leadership.
The Good Fellowship Club has made
Its appearance in society in Ilnngchow,
China.
It began with the desire of a pro
gressive young Chinese doctor to give
his compatriots, especially the Chris
tians, some healthful form of-social in
tercourse.
Channels for a good, clean, social
life among Chinese people are very
limited. Unitl rece.ntly becoming a
Christian often meant cutting oneself
off from one's friends and relatives,
also from feast days and festivals.
As for joint meetings of men ami wom
en—well, such a thing was never heard
of in decent society.
The young doctor's plan of having
a club where men and their wives
might come together to enjoy a good
time with each other was discouraged
and sniffed at. However, a few people
agreed to be pioneers in tire cause of
so'-ial Intercourse, and Y. W. C. A. sec
retaries agreed to help make tin- club
a success.
At'first the meetings of the club
were laughed at by outsiders and the
whole affair considered a joke. How
ever, the members kept on meeting,
first at one house and then at: another.
Soon the men got over the feeling of
strangeness at starting out with their
wives on Tuesday evening for a
friend's home. The women began to
enjoy the outing and to take part in
the discussions—an intelligent part,
too—much to the surprise of thoir hus
bands.
The membership grew. The club's
fame began to spread. At first the dis
cussions of (be club were conducted in
English. Soon became necessary
for them to be carried on in Chinese
so that more of the women could un
derstand and rake ivirt. Many of the
seotVers began to apply for admission.
The members began indulging in much
friendly chaffing and occasionally for
got their, dignity to p^ay .jokes on one
another. Finally it became so large
that it had Jo be divided into two sec
tions, which met separately three
Tuesday evenings in the month and oil
the fourth Tuesday met together for a
joint session, with a special program.
The social part of the evening is giv
en over to games, which at first
astound the sober Chinese gentlemen,
but which they take up with great zest
after the first veiling. And their
wives enjoy it just as greatly.
Real American picnics are the latest
thing which the club has tried, and
"tliey are a great success. A Christmas,
pfffy ii'beintf plaiined now.
ENGLISH & COMMON TONGUE.
Chinese Girls Learn It to Talk to Ont
Another.
Chinese women studeuts in the Tung
Pn College, Peking, China, are obliged
to learn English in order to talk with
one another because of the different
dialects used by the student body.
Girls from the' extreme western
provinces of China, who attend the
school, must remain In Peking during
all of the eight years required forj
their high school and college train
ing, because to return each summer
would require six weeks for the trip
one way and would cos more than a
trip to America and return, v
Girls from each of the western
proyinces speak a different language
and they cannot understand one an
other any more than they can the girls
from northern, southern, eastern or
central provinces. Hence, they have
adopted English as a common tongue.
NEW SCHOOL FOR CHINA.
Y. W. C. A. Secures New Site for Girls'
Physical Training School.
A new home has been found for the
Physical Training School which the
Young Women's Christian Association
.has opened for native girls In Shang
hai, China.
The school, while in the country, is
not far distant from the National
Headquarters of the Y. W. C. A. in
Shanghai nor far from the local Y.'W.
C. A. The grounds cover eighteen
"mow," which means approximately
six acres, and are divided'by a private
road. A foreign residence- already on
the grounds will be used by the Ameri
can.teachers, while native buildings on
the other side will furnish living quar
ters and classrooms for the 35 stu
dents,-
The grounds boast a garden, tenuis
courts and an athletic field.

DETERMINED EFFORTS
Steel Officials and Labor Leaders in

Far in Fight.
Pittsburgh. Sept. 30.—Results of the
great offensive and counter-offensive
schedule in the steel strike by meatjjg
•jf which both capital and labor hoped
to break the deadlock developed after
tlae lirst ie.v,'' days, remained in doubt.
In the Pittsburgh and Chicago sec
tors, the strategic points on the indus-
trial front—loth sides made deter
mined efforts to push forward, one
v.-iih the hope of resuming full opera
tion, the other of crippling more
plants. The chief struggle, however,
was waged for control in the mills of
the Bethlehem Steel company, whose
i 40,f0»i employes had been commanded
by union leaders to join the ranks of
ibe strikers.
Reports From Leaders.
Here are the reports issued from
rival hnadouarters dealing with the
Kothiehem objective:
"The employes reported to work this
morning in such numbers as to pft
vide for practically a full operation of
all plantS.''—15. G, Grace, president of
the Hethlehem Steel company.
"Charles M. Schwab's big plant at
'Bethlehem, completely crippled."

Students just returned from Ameri
can and German colleges, an old Hnd
dhist scholar who is particularly inter
ested in the discussion on Buddhism
and Christianity, merchants, rail mad
and government officials compose the
men's side of the room. The women
are still a bit shy about talking in
front of so many people, but many of
them show signs of great executive
ability and power of leadership. They
are all well poised, clear thinking indi
viduals, who will have a great in fin
ance on China's future. They discuss
among themselves group meetings in
their various churches, the lack of
amusements for Chinese women, social
service work, subscription lists for the
orphanage, cake making, types of
stoves, baby diets, the latest engage
ment and other topics such as one
would hear discussed by a group of
women gathered together any place in
America.
Wm. Z. Foster, secretary of the strik
ers' national committee.
Elsewhere results of the economic
battle were equally obscured by con-
dieting claims. The Carnegie Steel
company and other concerns in the
crucial Pittsburgh salient claimed men
were returning "in goodly numbers,"
while unionists heralded failure of the
United States Steel corporation to
"stampede" their forces.
From Chicago came reports that the
struggle for control in that center was
being equally stubbornly contested
without apparent material gains for
either side.
TERMS CAUSE MOURNING
Consternation in Bulgaria Over Treaty
Conditions.
Paris, Sept. 30.—A dispatch to the
Temps from Sofia, Bulgaria, states
that tlie publication of the peace terms
provoked consternation there. Several
newspapers were published with black
borders dnd cafes and public .places
were closed at 0 o'clock by order of
the minister of the interior in sign of
mourning. The Bulgarian newspapers
declare that the treaty is inacceptable,
but it seems that public opinion is
coming more and more to take a more
reasonable view.

New York, Sept. 30.—General John
J. Pershing has' been elected honorary
commander-in-chief of the Veterans of
