convention which will mark a new era for this Christian body. The most outstanding advanced step was the organization of the United Christian Missionary society, which, is a merger of six other itßtlssionary organizations, which include the Foreign Christian Missionary society, the Christian Woman’s Board of Mossions, the American Christian Missionary society, the National Benevolent association, the Board of Ministerial Relief and the Board of Church Extension. Other organizations will be taken into the uindted society later. This unification step was taken in the interest of efficiency, economy, and to avoid duplication. Rev. Raphael Miller, Kansas City, was elected president of the convention for the next year. Rev. Miller was one of the men who brought to such a successful close the Men and Millions Movement of the Disciples of Christ. Many very important resolutions were introduced in the convention. Resolutions were adopted endorsing the Inter-'Ohurch World movement, the United Budget for Missions, and urging the speedy ratification ot the league of nations and treaty of peace and declaring against military Intervention in Mexico. Two resolutions having to do with the local church and the minister were also adopted. The first of these was to the effect that a na-tion-wide calmipaign be conducted urging every church to own a residence for their minister. The second asked the churches to in-, crease the salary of their ministers on the basis of a sliding scale, 25% for those now receiving sl,500 or less; 20% for those receiving $1,500 to $2,000; 15% for those receiving- $2,000 ,lo $2,500, and 10% for those receiving over

13,000. Two-thirds of the delegates voting on this proposition were lay members. The greatest session of the convention was the communion service on Sunday at which nearly 15,000 people partook of the Lord’s Supper. It took three of the largest auditoriums in the city to hold the people. The largest of these was in Music hall. Rev. Edgar Dewitt Jones, pastor at Bloomington, 111., was the presiding officer for this year, and gave the president’s address, taking for his subject “The Old Evangel ajid the New Era.” Many noted men of other communions were on the program. Rev. S. Earl Taylor, general secretary of the Inter-Church World movement, and the chairman of the centenary movement of the Methodist Episcopal church, spoke on the InterChurch movement. Dr. Daniel Poling, associate president of the United Society of Christian Endeavor, addressed the convention on “The Call of the New Crusade,” which was a plea for Christian unity. The sessions closed Monday with the organization of the new United Christian Missionary society, but the officers of the new society have not been announced-

The Sage Bros- sale of Big Type Poland China hogs, held at the Sage farm in Jordan township Oct. 15 drew a large crowd and was the best of *he three sales the boys have held, they report.

The top sow brought $227.50 and the top boar brought $132. Fourteen head went Into Lake county; 12 head to White county; 6 head into Illinois; 12 head into Benton county; 18 head into Newton and the rest into Jasper county. The boys say “We sold a few of our best sows but have others just as good or better and we also have the very best gilts from sows sold to take the place of their mothers.” Next year they hope to have enough to sell some privately and also make another sale next fall. They Invite anyone interested in their Poland Chinas to visit them any time or to send them their name and address to be placed on their catalog mailing list. —Advt.

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

VOTE DEFEATS LLOYD GEORGE

Test on the Alien Bill Is Lost in the House of Commons. ■ 1 ■■ ll • LEADERS TO DECIDE ACTION Sonar Law Announce* That General Discussion of National Financial Question Will Take Place Next Week. London, Oct. 24.—The government was defeated by a majority of 72 in a vote in the house of commons on an amendment to the aliens bill. Bonar Law immediately moved to postpone further consideration. He said the government must discuss the defeat and decide what course it should adopt His motion was agreed to. The house then adjourned until Monday. The vote by which the government ’was defeated was 185 to 113. It is the first time that the coalition government has been defeated with the whips present. The reverse came on the government’s pilotage of provisions fn the aliens bill in which it is proposed to admit French pilots to special consideration at British ports. It was a minor matter, but involves big principles. The government had made a convention with the French granting such a privilege. Before the war, the granting of such privileges to aliens had made it possible for German pilots to familiarize themselves with British ports. The new bill gave protection against repetition of this state of things except in respect of the French. Sir John Rutherford, conservative member, struck the keynote of the sentiment of the house in saying: “The time has come for clear-cut conventions with France or any other nation. It Is time that we made up our minds that no certificates shall be granted in the future to pilots unless they are British-born subjects.” Talk Finance* on Wednesday. Before the vote on the aliens bill was taken Mr. Bonar Law announced that the promised general discussion of national financial questions will take place on Wednesday of next week. In discussing finances J. Austen Chamberlain, chancellor of the exchequer, said the average daily expenditure from April 1 to September 30 this year was £4,225,000, and from October 1 to October 19 it was £3,763,000. Regarding the question of -Imports Bonar Law informed the house that an “antidumping” bill was being drafted by the cabinet for early introduction.

Special measures to deal with speculation in cotton, tobacco and soap under the antiprofiteering act are being considered by the government, according to a statement by Undersecretary Bridgeman ’ of the board of trade. Lords Take Up Money Crisis. The house of lords had its first word in connection with the financial state of the country. It was in the form of a resolution by Lord Buckmaster, calling attention to the “gravity of the financial position,” and suggesting that it was “essential that further taxation should be imposed.” Lord Buckmaster declared his motion was not intended as a vote of censure of the government. The salient features of the situation, he said, were the inflation of the currency, the slightness of the reduction of the ways and means advances, and the excess of the daily expenditure over the revenue. He emphasized his view that the financial position was at the very root of the industrial discontent. Chamberlain Is Unheeded. Referring to the warning of Austen Chamberlain, the chancellor of the exchequer, in the house of commons last August that if the country continued spending at the rate It was doing its course would lead straight to national bankruptcy, Lord Buckmaster said the government had not heeded this warning and was pursuing the same road with unabated speed. Lord Buckmaster estimated that the country must find in normal times £600,000,000 by direct taxation, to secure which there were only three methods —namely, a general capital levy, a capital levy on war profits, or an Increase of the income tax. He contended'the best course to be adopted was a capital levy on war profits, with perhaps an Increased income tax also. The nation, he declared, must follow the road of sacrifice and hardship, but it was the road of honor and safety. ,

BERMAN MONEY USED

HOLLWEG'B KIN NAMED IN AL, BATIAN REVOLT ATTEMPT. Alleged Leader of Conepiracy Confesses Having Received >IOO,OOO From Baden Badetv. Strnssburg, Alsace, Oct 24. —The conspiracy for a revolt In Alsace-Lor-raine, having for Its object the establishment of an autonomous republic here, is assuming greater proportions than at first anticipated. Koessier, the man alleged to be the archconspirator, who has been placed under arrest, has, according to military authorities, macle a confession, admitting that he has received 500,000 francs (SIOO,OOO, normal value) from Germany since last May. The funds were sent him from Baden Baden, it Is said. Acting as intermediary between the Berlin foreign office and the conspirators here, according to*- Koessler’i revelations to the police, was Herr von Gruenellus, a relative of Former Chancellor von Bethmann-Hollweg. According to military authorities, Koessler had admitted having introduced Von Gruenellus to Deputy Jean Longuet last summer while the latter was spending a few weeks’ vacation near Strassburg. He says the two had a long conference. M. Longuet, in an open letter to the Matin, admits that he met Von Gruenellus, but asserts it was a social visit and that no politics was discussed. He adds that the charge is a “political maneuver on the part of his enemies on the eve of the elections." Literature seized at the home of Koessler bore the caption "The Neutral Republic of Alsace-Lorraine,” and called upon the population of the two provinces to separate from. France as well as Germany.
