THREE MORE DELEGATES QUIT Sixty Advisers of the Peking Delegation Book Passage for Home—See No Hope of Redressing China's Grievances. Washington, Dec. 8.—A tentative proposal for an agreement between the United States and other powers to replace the Anglo-Japanese alliance has been cabled to London as well as to Tokyo as a result of the meetings of the arms conference's "big three"—America, Great Britain and Japan. Official confirmation of the report that the suggestion for a new international concert had taken definite form was given by the British. Details were not revealed, but an authorized British spokesman said that "certain suggestions were formulated and telegraphed to London" after the conference last week between Charles Evans Hughes, Arthur J. Balfour and Admiral Tomosaburo Kato. The British spokesman added that it might fairly be inferred that, if these proposals should find general acceptance, they would have the effect of terminating the Anglo-Japanese alliance, for which there would be no further use. Resolutions insuring the territorial integrity of China and providing for use of wireless stations in China were adopted unanimously by the nine powers committee on Pacific and Far Eastern questions. Washington, Dec. 8.—China practically has bolted the armament conference, charging America and Great Britain with backing the claims of Japan. Three more of the delegation resigned and it became known thirty Chinese advisers have booked passage for home December 17 and thirty others the last of the month. The action of the Chinese has disturbed the American delegation. It was said, whoever charges China has not been dealt with justly, either is uninformed or makes the charges for some utterter purpose. Following closely on the resignation of Dr. Phillip K. C. Tyau, secretary, because of resentment at the treatment accorded Chinese problems, came three more resignations. They were: Gen. Huana Fu¹ chief military adviser. Chow Tsi-Chi, former minister of finance and chief financial adviser. Admirai Tsat-Ying-Kau² chief of the naval advisers and also assistant director of Chinese customs. Cause of Move. The resignations were said to have been caused by the alleged "mishandling" of China's case in the conference, the following charges being made: 1. That China had - been "hoodwinked" at every stage in having proposals shelved in committee. 2. That Great Britain and the United States were backing Japan at the expense of China. Dr. Paul Rensch and Lenox Simpson, advisers to the Chinese government, were said to have told eminent Chinese editors the conference, instead of redressing China's grievances at the hands of Japan and other powers, has "legalized before the world tribunal Dai Nippon's parapont position in China." V.G creet sessions of the Fur Eastern committee that the withdrawal of Japanese troops and police boxes from China was contingent upon the ability of the Peking government to take care of itself. The new developments discovered were that Japan opposes granting China even a tariff of $7 \frac{1}{2}$ per cent, much less the $12 \frac{1}{2}$ which China had been led to believe she would be granted. The resentment among the Chinese centers, however, about the "ineffective way" in which China's case has been presented. CHARLES PIEZ ASKS DECREE Former General Manager of Emergency Fleet Corporation Charges Wife With Desertion. Chicago, Dec. 8.—Charles Plez, former president of the Illinois' Manufacturers' association and general manager of the emergency fleet corporation during the war, has filed suit for divorce against Laura Olivia Flora Plez. He charges desertion. The bill, which is to be reviewed before Judge Sabbath in the Superior court, states that they were married January 16, 1896, and that Mrs. Plez deserted her husband on March 27, 1919. Mr. Plez is president of the Link Belt company, Big Saying for Shippers.

Los Angeles, Cal., Dec. 8.—Eight Americans are said to be under arrest at Ensenada, Lower California, and their fishing boat, the Mabel, has been selzed, according to a report to customs officers at the harbor here. The arrest and seizure took place last Sunday and was a result of contention by Mexican officials that American fishing boats are illegally operating off the coast of Mexico.

The number of injured has not been ascertained. The explosion, which occurred in an oil tank, destroyed the greater part of the factory. Houses in the neighborhood suffered badly, roofs being blown off and the walls collapsing. Fire which started in the ruins spread to the surrounding forests. Tests.

The plow evolved slowly from a crude instrument of wood into the steel tool of today. In many parts of the world even today a very primitive form of wooden plow is still in use. (Told In Eight Sketches) BY JOHN RAYMOND No. III THE PHILOSOPHER OF COAL A WOODEN MAN without dreaming of the immense value of the waste product, coal tar. In the Middle Ages it was manufactured for use in the arts and for domestic purposes. The earliest record of cooking coal in a regular oven was in 1620, when a patent was granted in England to Sir William. St. John for In 1771, there lived in the forest near Saarbrücken, in Germany, a chemist named Staul. He was an eccentric old man who had an idea, far ahead of his times, that many things beside coke could be obtained in the combustion of bituminous coal. Staul had constructed a number of ovens over a burning mine and treated coal so that he obtained oil, pitch, coke and soot. That was quite a forward step and although he lived in the depths of a forest the great minds of Europe heard of his work. In fact, Goethe, himself made a pilgrimage to the ovens of the far-seeing chemist and in his autobiography wrote a striking comment on his visit to the Saarbrücken forest: making coke in a bee hive type of oven. Later patents were granted in England, Scotland and Germany, and finally in 1817, we find Isaac Meason "making coke in the ground" in Fayette County, Pennsylvania. "Ready and glad to pour his complaints into a human ear, the lean deceptive, little man, with a shoe on one foot and a slipper on the other, and with stockings hanging down and repeatedly pulled up in vain, dragged himself up the mountain to where the pitch house stood which he had built himself and saw with grief now falling into ruins. Here was found a connected row of ovens in which coal was to be freed from sulphur and made fit for use in the iron works; but at the same time they wished also to recover the oil and pitch, and indeed, did not want to lose the lamp black, so that all failed together on account of the many ends in view." That was the crude beginning of one of America's key industries, for from these bee hive ovens, wasteful as they were, grew the great modern plants that astonished the world during the war by their production of poison gases, high explosives, fertilizers and other vital necessities. In times of peace these plants produce dyes and great quantities of intermediates for the manufacture of other commodities. In times of war they are easily converted into strongholds of defense. You will remember that it was an English boy who discovered the possibility of manufacturing dyes from coal tar but England let the great as a result slip through her fingers and as a result she found herself in a bad way when war took place in 1914. It was humiliating for the United States to be caught mapping and to be compelled to beg Germany to sell us dyes to color our stamps and currency but England found herself in a far more serious situation. She had no dyes for her uniforms or flags, and no drugs for her wounded. She could not sell to the former German markets because she could not color her textiles. She could not send sufficient high explosives or gasses to the front because she lacked the essential coal tar crude. Goethe, who dubbed the chemist of Saarbrücken "Kohenphilosoph" or the Philosopher of Coal, wrote his commentary less than a century and a half ago. What would be his comment today could he enter one of the great American plants where almost unlimited numbers of products are obtained from the distillation or partial combustion of coal.

REGULAR MASONS NOT CONCERNED IN ATTEMPTED LYNCHING AT SIOUX CITY Keokuk, Iowa, Dec. 6.—The attempted lynching of Sam Jones, Negro mason, at Sioux City, Iowa, on the night of November 30 by members of his lodge for alleged betrayal of Masonic secrets, has been investigated by the regular Masonic authority for Iowa, who found that those concerned in the affair were not identified with nor recognized by the regular Masonic fraternity. A little more than a year ago some kind of an organization was placed in Sioux City, Iowa, by persons from outside the state, which they said was a ledge of Masons, but with which the legitimate craft has had no fraternal intercourse whatever. This statement is made for the better information of the public and as a measure of justness to regular masons wheresoever dispersed. W. W. GROSS, Grand Master of Masons in Iowa.

E. church was a decided success. And what makes it stand out as a great innovation is that the entire proceeds are used for charity. The time has come when lodges and other organizations are awakening to the fact that their duty extends beyond their membership. The poor also must be lifted up. In many many cases children of poor parents are prevented from going to school because their parents cannot possibly provide proper clothing for them. This is not the childrens fault, but if these children grow up in ignorance and become a menace to the public, the entire race will suffer. A little sacrifice in order to aid these unfortunates and keep their children in school will be repaid by their good work in years to come. Sermon of Strength Sermon of Strength I am sure everyone who had the pleasure of hearing Dr. W. H. Griffith, pastor of St. Paul A. M. E. church on last Sunday morning was more than lited up with "joy unspeakable." He selected as his text, "The Joy of the Lord is Your strength." Theme, "The Ministry of Joy." Dr. Griffin in his usual manner of oratorical eloquence delivered one of the best sermons ever heard. The church was in a perfect state of recipieney. He pictured the conditions of man in his relation to the one supreme element essential to make life here and beyond complete which is real joy. Dr. Griffin also made the way so plain that a wayfaring man, though a fool could not ere in the way he differentiated, the words, Mirth, Happiness and Joy. And as the well thinking mind that followed his discourse, could not but agree with him in the description of the three words, he said in past that, mirth is but the fleeting expression of one's personality, the outward man may seem mirtful, while the inner man is burdened beyond expression. Happiness comes from outward environment, the very same condition or fulfillment of desire that brings happiness will bring sorrow. He proved to us practically speaking that roses have thorns and the the thistle has a beautiful heliotrope blossom. He further placed particular stress on the supreme thought. Real joy as habitual, something that remains, so different from the two former thoughts in which he compared the impregnable Gibralter to the ever living "Rock of Ages" Christ. The former fail, the latter stands forever. So does real joy whose foundation is Christ. Before he completed his discourse the Lord truly manifested His presence by a baptismal shower of His holy spirit and our souls cried out in the language of David, "Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation." Daddy's Evening Fairy Tale BY MARY GRAHAM BONNER CONTROL BY VISTA REVENUE UNION "A Teddy Bear," sald Daddy, "was sitting in a go-cart beside a little girl who was fast asleep. Her mother was shopping in a big grocery shop nearby, and the go-cart was out in front of the shop on the street. A "The Teddy Bear's brown eyes were wide open and the little girl's eyes were tight shut so no one could see what color they were, and no one knew of course, unless they knew the little girl when she was awake. "In a Go-Cart." when she was awake. "But if anyone should have asked the Teddy Bear any questions this would have been his answer for this was the answer he gave to one of the Sun fairies who asked him what he was doing. "The Sun fairy couldn't be seen by the people because the Sun fairy wore such a dazzling bright dress no one could have looked at her any more than one could look at the Sun. No one, you know, can look straight at the Sun to see what is happening in his home. "You see, Sun Fairy," said the Teddy Bear, 'this little girl is fast asleep. And I am on guard.' "I am seeing that no harm comes to her," said the Teddy Bear. "You see I am beside her, watching over her, and that is what being on guard means, I'm guarding her or watching over her, whichever you want to say. "I will not close my eyes. Perhaps folks would say that I couldn't close my eyes even if I wanted to, but I wouldn't close them even if I could! No, indeed, for I want to watch out and guard over this little girl. I cannot help but do this, because she and I are great friends, and one always wants to do things for one's friends. Even a little Teddy Bear feels that way. "When she is awake she plays with me and hugs me and kisses me. She calls me her own adorable Teddy Bear." "Now that is a great thing! I just think of being called an adorable Teddy Bear by the nicest little girl in all the world. Perhaps many would not agree with me that she was the nicest little girl in all the world. There are some who would say, "No, my little girl is the nicest." "Or, perhaps another would say, "My little sister is the nicest." But I think that this little girl is the nicest in the whole world and I love her better than any other. "While she is sleeping I shall watch over her just as she loves me when she is awake. "You see how I have one paw on her shoulder? That is to let people know that I am holding her as fast as I can. "And I will watch over her until her mother comes out of the shop, and if her mother goes in another shop I will watch over her again. I will watch over her all the time, any time!" "Yes, when she is awake she loves me so devotedly. She pets me and THE BYSTANDER, DES MOINES, IOWA Sunday School Lesson (By REV. P. B. FITZWATER, D. D.

PRIMARY TOPIC-The Story of a Runaway Slave. JUNIOR TOPIC-Paul's Kindness to a INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC -Paul, Reading, for a, Slave YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC The Social Teachings of the Letter to Phlemon. This is a private letter. Phlemon was a member of the church at Colosse. Onesimus, his slave, wronged him, perhaps stole from him, and fled to Rome. There he came under Paul's influence and was converted. Paul lent Onesimus back to Phlemon with this letter. This is one of the most tender and beautiful letters ever written, and the first anti-slavery petition ever penned. I. The Salutation (vv. 1-3). His aim was to touch Phlemon's heart, so refers to himself as a prisoner, and links Phlemon to himself as a fellow-laborer in the Gospel of truth. He makes mention of Apphia, Phlemon's wife, and Archippus, the son, who had already enlisted as a fellow-soldier. II. Philemon's Reputation (vv. 4-7). Paul paid a fine tribute to Philemon, reminding him that he never prayed without bearing him up before God. This is a fine example of tact on the part of the minister. 1. His faith and love toward the Lord and all saints (v. 5). It was his hope and desire that this faith might bear fruit in Christ Jesus. 2. His ministry to the saints (v. 7). Philemon was generous in his help to the poor saints. III. Paul's Request (vv. 8-16). He requested Philemon to receive back Onesimus, the runaway slave, as a brother in Christ. 1. He beseeches instead of commands (vv. 8-10). Though conscious of his right to enjoin, he pleads as the prisoner of Jesus Christ for love's sake. 2. He makes his plea on the grounds of grace (vv. 11-14). He admitted that Onesimus had been unprofitable—had forfeited all claim upon Philemon, and that on grounds of justice his plea might well be rejected, and yet Onesimus was begotten in his bonds (v. 10)—was in a real sense a part of his own suffering nature (v. 12)—he ventured to suggest that he should be accepted. Though Onesimus hitherto had been unprofitable to his master, now was profitable to both Paul and Philemon. Paul would gladly have retained him as a personal attendant, but sought first his friend's permission. 8. Paul destred that Onesimus be received back not as a slave, but as a brother in Christ (vv. 15, 16). Here is the real fugitive slave law. Paul never attacked slavery, though it was contrary to Christianity, and therefore hateful to him, but emphasized principles which destroyed it. The establishment of Christianity changes the whole face of human society. The wise thing to do is to get men and women regenerated and thus transform society instead of seeking change by revolution. In Paul's request you can hear the pleadings of Christ for us sinners. All men have broken loose—gone astray—and have become unprofitable. We are reconciled to God through the interceding of Christ. He has made us profitable. We have been begotten in His bonds—through His passion, agony of heart, we shall be changed. III. The Basis Upon Which Onesimus is to Be Received (vv. 17-21). The debt of guilty Onesimus is to be put to the account of Paul, and the merit of Paul is to be put to the account of Onesimus. This is a fine illustration of the atonement of Christ. Whatever wrongs we have committed—debt incurred—all our shortcomings are debited to Him. Jesus Christ, on behalf of the whole universe, has said to God: "Put that to my account; I have written with my plerced hand; I will repay." Onesimus was taken back, not as a runaway slave, but a beloved brother in Christ. IV. Paul Requests Lodging (vv. 22-25). He expected a speedy release from imprisonment, and purposed to sojourn with Philemon. In all probability this was realized. What a welcome he must have received! Jesus Christ is saying to every one of His redeemed ones, "Prepare me a lodging." The Lord Changeth Not. And I will come near to you to judgment; I will be a swift witness against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the Lord of hosts. For I am the Lord, I change not—Malachi 8: 5. 6. says such nice things to me. When she goes to bed she takes me with her. And we have such a pleasant sleep and wake up all rested. I cuddle near her when she is asleep and I do love her so. When she has parties and brings out a small table and puts lemonade on it on the hot summer days, I, the Teddy Bear, sit upon a small chair near the C. F. table and make-believe I am having some lemonade too. ‘And she puts flowers on the table and asks me if I think they're pretty. Then she answers for me which makes it very nice and easy for me. ‘Ah, yes, Sun Fairy, I will guard over my little mistress while she takes a nap and I will not leave her, for she is the dearest little girl in all the world—her own Teddy Bear thinks so, and surely a Teddy Bear who is with her all the time ought to know. Yes, he ought to know, and he does!” "So It Seems." In the course of play, during a baseball match, the cover of the ball was knocked off. Holding the ball in his hands, the referee told the players of the accident. "So it seems" (sew its seams), replied one boy. Another, not to be outdone, said: "Oh, you've just discovered (dis-covered) it." All Net Profit. Why should every fisherman be very wealthy? Because his is all net profit. The Y.M.C.A.

SUNDAY SCHOOL NOTES Dec. 4 our attendance was normal and the hour well spent discussing the principles involved in the lesson. The school was very helpfully catechised by ex-Superintendent C. B. Woods. With thankful hearts we praise the name of Him who ever liveth, that he has so wondrously wrought through us to the advancement of the school. We have not attempted to advance every phase of the work. About Jan. 12, 1920 we set out to equip the school and along this line much has been done but there also remaineth much more to be done. However, we hope our successor who ever he or she is, will give more time to organization and methods of teaching, et al. because it is merely a suggestion, for it would be contrary to our make up, if it were in our power to dictate the plans or policy of another's administration. Nevertheless our prayer shall always be for the success of the school. ACHES AND PAINS-- SLOAN'S GETS 'EM! AVOID the misery of racking pain.

He does more real good for his fellowman than he would if he gave all his profits in charity, because it is better to make people self-supporting and independent than it is to give them something for nothing no matter how sorry the business may be.
