SATURDAY, SEPT. 17. 1921 MUST NOT RETREAT From Hutchison (Kan.) News Congress is passing, over some opposition, a bill to extend the embargo against importation of dyes until November 27. The object of this extension is to give time for the passage of a new general tariff law which will probably include protection for the dye industry of the United States. The memory of most of us is very short. We have probably forgotten our experience soon after the beginning of the World War when the importations from Germany were cut off and America was left with only such dyes as are made in this country. ' 1 : It is fair to say that no dyes had been made in this country because attempts at the manufacturing of dyes had been defeated by the importation of low priced German dyes, which advanced in price as soon as American competition yrrfs destroyed. We were accepting^fhe theory that Americans ^7 ?i? i vauLUA-Tiut numtj ^uuu Tt will be remembered that for some time America did not make good dyes and that our dyed materials I wore a disgrace to an inventive and industrious country. They dyes faded out and washed out and though they were high *in-price they were not only poor in quality but often destructive. American genius and American capital went to work to discover the secrets of the' German laboratories and by the time the war finished, A merican dyes were able to sit up and take notice. We had practically achieved our independence of the .German monopoly by the expenditure of a great deal of time, energy and money* ' It would be the height of folly to put ourselves at the mercies of the German manufacturers. Dyes and the by-products and the chemicals which are necessary to their manufacture were found to be as essential to the conduct of a war as military armament. W-e not only paid a high lrripn fnv aiiv ovnr?vw>r?r*n Vtv nnfni*fnn ate losses but were compelled to put our efforts into this lino of production at a time when they were needed on others. The Germans are apparently able to produce dyes at a cheaper cost than our factories, here is a question to be considered as to whether American manufacturers are making large profits or not. But there is no question as to the necessity of maintaining a dye industry in the Gnited States which will at least he able to cope with another situation such as that which confronted the country in 1914.

Mystery Still Unsolved Papeete, Tahiti, Sept. 13.?Who the people were who erected the massive walls, fortifications and platforms to be found on widely separated islands all through the South Seas still remains a mystery. For the past 18 months a representative of the British Museum has been studying the massive stone structures on Faster Island. He is now on his way to Kapa to investigate the megalithic remains on the slopes of the mountains there. The same race that erected the colossal statues on Faster Island, he believes constructed the Rapa fortifications. These great builders were a race of white men of Aryan stock, according to Professor McMillan-Brown, of New Zealand, who has written a book ; in support of his contention. Aftpr pniifirnfinn ncrncc fhn cfnnnoc of Asia in the Stone Age the New Zealand professor says these white , men finally occupied the Japanese Islands. But again they moved on, this time compelled by increasing pres- j sure of Mongolian hordes coming J down from the high plateaus of the . continent, and they went out to find new habitations across the wide ex- ^ panse of the Pacific. There they set up an island em- j pire. with its capital the great me- . gatithic city, the walls of which still stand, on the island of Ponape in the Carolines. It was this white race, * the professor maintains, that in the 1 days of their undisputed possession J of the South Sea islands erected these * enduring monuments. Many centuries later came a dark skinned race from Indonesia which . conquered the inhabitants and amalwamating with them produced the , Polynesian type of today. Professor McMillian-Brown's argu- * ment is not generally accepted as sound by a large number of students . of Polynesian origins, but they have failed so far to offer a convincing ! theory in its place. j Addresses Educational Conference - 1 ondon. Sept. 14.?Modem minis- j tc?s are trained as mere "salesmen" ' instead of Christian apostles and that is one reason why the people generally * have a luke-warm attitude tward re- T ligion, declared the Rev. Dr. J. S. 1 Ladd Thomas of Chicago, in an ad- J dress here today before the Ecumeni- * cal Methodist Conference. The speak- i er said he saw "a real pRfl" in the ] pfTnrf af Honnm inof i/\r*a 1 I force the ministry into a narrow and mechanical scheme whoee direct aim is to produce the largest immediate revenue. "Poorly attended churches all over the land bear witness to the people's indifference toward institutional religion," said Dr. Thomas. "Full ihurches are the exception rather than the rule. It is the empty church which stares us in the face and, 'more eloquently than words' speaks of the attitude of that large group of people who have rejected institutional religion as something unnecessary in . their lives. ; "They are pleasure mad; they have , a mania for materialistic indulgence, ; while their belief in the modern church as the representative of God 1 ard the Ambassador of Christ does ' not express itself. The real problem." the speaker indicated, "is how to vitalise < he church so that she may authoritatively and convincingly persuade men of the'r divine inheritance and the mission of sacrificial service." Asserting that "the average artisan < lacks conlidence in the church as the 1 champion of the 'square deal," he con '"Tlii^ indifference has arisen from a I misconception of Clod?a wrong tcacb- h ing of Cod?a wrong teaching of the J; church and a wrong teaching of the I, Christian life. In many of the critical', hours of history the church has failed., lo impress the world with an authoritative message--which would bring , light into the dark hours on the subject of war, the relations of capital and labor and other vital question^ ' which have been baffling the minds of ! men.1' ' "Prophets and priests " Or. Thomas said, must "challenge the people with ' a gospel that will restore confidence in the church, trust in Christ and service, j to the world. The church must not forget her social message but she iU.t II unv mm) rciiicmuer lllttl. Vylll lSH?IIII/y is a religion of the individual." King Christian is not Coming Copenhagen, Aug. 30.?Rumors ' that King Christian of Denmark is 1 shortly to pay an official visit to the United States are unfounded. The rumors probably arose from the fact that-many influential Danes and Americans livinp: at present here were of the opinion that an official visit to America bv the King and j Queen would be likely to further strengthen the natural bonds of friendship between the two nations. J They also thought that it was desir- < able the King should pro as his own ambassador and express Denmark's prratitude toward America for her j valuable aid in fretting1 back Danish ; Slesvig from Germany. i Subscribe to Tho Union Times. ? ? ?

(By Mail).?Relaxing of the policy of a ivhite Australia was favored by seviral speakers at a conference on Australia's relations with the East helc. >y the Australian Student -Christian Vlovement last week in Melbourne. Dr. Sydney Strong of Seattle, iVash., said a policy of Asiatic exilusion would tend to make Austra ia provincial. He declared that alowing entrance to Australia on a lumerical percentage basis of the *reat races of colored people surrounding her would cause no econonic disturbance. He urged that :hese races be allowed full citizenship. Samuel Mauger, former member of ;he Commonwealth Parliament, said :he demand for a white Australia was born, with the Commonwealth. Econortiic reasons prompted it, he said, but it was directly contrary to :he teachings of Jesus Christ. The idea that any section of the human race were to be permanently segregated could never be entertained, D. K. Picken, master of Ormond College, told the delegates.

Fifty years ago twenty men bought this island for a retreat from city life in the hot months of the year, formed a community and gave it religion and a local government. Now their children are celebrating the golden jubilee of the establishment of the Maine summer colony idea. They declare that while summer homes had dotted the coast of Maine before 1871, it was the success of the Squirrel Island Community that led to the founding of other colonies all the way from Kittery to Sorrento* Founded for freedom and fun modified by church and village regulation, the squirrel Island Association was from the first on a basis of sex equality.' Women voted with men under a compact described as being "as obedient to Divine Guidance as that of the Mayflower Pilgrims." Renews Old Controversy Buenos Aires, Sept. 14.?When President Harding said at the unveiling of the statue of General Simon Bolivar in New York that freedom in the American continents was due principally to two heroes, Washington and Bolivar, he caused to flame forth afresh an old controversy regarding the relative merits of Bolivar and the hero of Southern South America, General San Martin. As a result of this the Junta de His'toria Numismatica Americana here has proposed that congress should pass a law providing $300,000 Argentina paper with which to make a morfmn niAfurn film oUaw!?? 4U-. ? ? ? I ?*va* |/?VVU4V 111111 OllVVYlIl^ 1/I1U pttri [played by the Argentine hero in the struggle against Spain. The plan is to have the picture displayed in South America and in other lands so that the world may have a better understanding of the exploits of the leader who captured Lima, Peru, and thus broke the backbone of the Spanish power. Historians of the southern part of the continent have long accused those of the northern half and of Central America of persistently attempting to belittle the deeds of San Martin. They point out that while Bolivar freed the north, San Martin accomplished the titanic feat of leading an army from Argentina across the Andes, freeing Chile and later capturing Lima, which was the seat of Spanish power. This, they say, put an end to Spanish resistance. Bolivar also was approaching Lima at the time of its capture, coming from the north. The two generals met in Guayaquil, Ecuador, and General Sar Martin resigned Lima to his fellow liberator, returning himself to Argentina. Engineers Meet in New York New York, Sept. 17.?Delegates from various engineering societies of Englilund, France and America will meet here next month to "establish a new international contact which shall promote concord among the English speaking countries, advam e the science of engineering and work along conservative lines for the establishment of international peace." This movement began during the war when the engineers of *hese countries linked their activities behind the lines. Their program now, officials of engineering societies explain, is to open fresh international channels not unlike the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, the Sulgrave Institution and the English Speaking Union.
