Asked concerning the award to Major General Biddle , of the dis- : tinguished service medal, General I March said it was "in recognition of.'] his tact and ability in handling Amer-ji ican troops in England," and not his i services as acting chief of staff.

A. is offering free scholarships for ex-service men. "The opportunity is open to every ex-soldier, sailor, marine and oi'phaned son of a veteran who served in the late war," said one of the committee. Although there are still sufficient funds to care for several of the ambitious men in the county , at the rate applications are being filed they will soon all have been distributed, especially collegiate." Scholarships will be given in the correspondence courses of the United Y. M. C. A. Schools to qualified applicants unable to attend city schools, and then there are good summer schools. The wide range in courses offered makes it possible for the man with little or nc elementary education to participate in the benefits on an equal basis, with those more fortunate in the matter of education. Comprehensive and practical agricultural courses are offered in the Home Study Courses, along with commer1 ono/fnmifl nrnfpssional and wiai avau^aiivj 2"* [ highly specialized technical ones.! There are some 150 to 200 of these free scholarships offered to South Carolina boys. See if your County's share has been used and get yours. More than 90,000 men attended Y. M. C. A. Schools last year under the direction of 300 competent instructors. This huge educational machine this year will be placed at the service of former service men, augmented by a highly trained personnel, organized to promote the Home Study Courses. All applications for free scholarships should be made either direct or ly mail to County School Superinendent. Although applications for awards in college, technical and university courses, are submitted to the State Educational Service committee at Columbia, they should be filed with the local committee, which may recommend qualified candidates for hese awards. ^ ,TAnv rln I XX JUU1 IVVMl VVliUHl WWW v what you want, write Sate Supervisor Eugene R.

Y 'a Religious Financiering Revolutionized^ By Success Of Men And Million# j i Movement And Co-operation is Result I The Intercriurch World Movement of North America is an attempt by forward-looking leaders of the various ,c evangelical denominations of the Unit- ? ed States and Canada to co-ordinate ,? the resources In men, money and mate-1 rial for Protestant America. IT Historically it is the logical outgrowth of a tendency of the national * boards in each denomination to form 1 working alliances among themselves, a In which each board shall preserve its ] identity and control its own personnel , and treasury. In former times, the home mission ' society, the foreign mission society, * the church extension society and the . various philanthropic and eleemosynary agencies of any denomination conducted their affairs independently of one another. Each surveyed its own restricted territory, prepared a budget of money and workers for its: own purposes and made its own ap- j j peal to its constituency for support, j | This could only mean that these J' agencies were more or less In com- ; petition with vuv auuutcif UJOl were waste and duplication cf work a*id money, and that among them all .- ome work was neglected and some denominational resources were entirety overlooked. Because of their specialized training, the leaders of each agency regarded themselves as peculiarly fitted for their tasks, and Jealously regarded attempts at outside interference. Decide On Experiment After decades of such haphazard methods, the leaders of one denomination decided on an experiment. They thought It would be possible for the agencies to get together for a common study of all the opportunities and resources of their brotherhood, to make out a unified budget of men and money, and to conduct a concerted appeal for 'funds. Tt was made clear that each constituent board should preserve complete autpnomy. When the board representative?, met they found it possible to eliminate a great amount of organization expenses. They ultimately worked out a budget and plan of campaign that was satisfactory to all. This resulted in the famous "Men and Millions Movement" of the Disciples of Christ, | wmcn Drougnt m what was then considered the staggering sum of $6,300,000 for a five-year program. The members of the communion were S0| pleased with this business-like method of conducting affairs that they con-| trlbuted even more generously than , had been expected. The success of this enterprise revo-1 \ lutionized the whole business of!; church financiering. The other great I i denominations immediately adopted^ the plan. The denominational associaj: tlons have come to be known as "for- \ ward movements," and some thirty of j them are in existence today. Each one! has clarified all the information In relation to enterprise within the denomi-; nation, and has reduced the business; of collecting and spending money to a j science. World-Budget Formed The Interchurch World Movement is simply a plan to do Interdenomlnatlonally what the forward movements have done within the various communions. It means that every denominational budget will be made in the light of world needs instead of in the semi-obscurity of incomplete information. It means that contributions to one denomination will not be In wasteful competition with contributions to another, because all the fellowships will have worked out their program together. The functions of the Interchurch j World Movement are threefold. First,! !t collects, bv means of world surveys, ?.ll the pertinent facts on which denominational programs may be built. | Second, It sets up the practical ma-j chinery of co-operation. Third, it acts, in an advisory capacity whenever its < advice is requested. The Movement .has nothing to do with organic church union or matters! of creed or doctrine. Each constitueut1 unit preserves complete autonomy, and Is bound only so far as It wishes tc be bound. Financial appeals are made, by each denomination to its own cofi-! rtituency. Any surplus In undesignat-i ed funds, over and above the actual | cost of administration, will be prorated among: tho denominations engaged In a eiven finnnrlnl - ? -.oaiug. An Illustration of one thing the Movement can do is to be found in a western community of 1,600 persons in which thirteen ^nominations have hefn supporting senarate churc*"^ with missionary funds, while an adjacent territory of 50.000 persons lias only three churches. By seeintr that all missionary hoards are supplied v*l?h information in such cases, thr M?vrt-' mer.t will mak? nossihle a wiser d'*tribution of funds.

The first proposal was in the form >f a resolution for a constitutional imendment, introduced by Repre.entative Fess of Ohio, chairman of he Republican congressional comnittee, proposing to have the supreme court determine the ability of i president to discharge his duties, vhenever authorized by a concurrent resolution of congress.
