Great Religious
Revival Predicted
For United States !
Rev. J. H. Jowett of England. Who
Comes to New York Chur:h, Sees
Much Hope for Christians.
TJNIxxv, Jan. 2 (Special Cablegram)
America Is at the beginning of a great
- ions revival, which will have a pro-
1 influence on the whole world."
This statement was made to me today
by Rev. J. II. Jowett, pastor of the Corrls
Lane Congregational church at Birming
ham, who ha Just accepted a call to the
pastorate of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian
church of New York, the richest church
of that denomination In America. Ir.
Jowett Is the leading nonconformist
clergyman In Great Britain and has been
called the Henry Ward Beecher of Eng
land. He la president of the Kree Church
council.
"Tes." he continued. "America Is the
land of promise and the prospect of hav
ing a place In this great movement Is what
has led me to accept the call to your coun
try. "When men ol great affairs turn their
attention to spiritual things as they do In
America, It means an awakening which
must hsve Its remits. The layman's mis
sionary movement I regard as one of the
most significant evidences of this awaken
ing. "Of late years there has been too much
of a disposition to leave religious affairs
to preachers and women, to put them
a.lde as hardly worthy the attention of
business men. Do not understand me as
belittling preachers and women. They both
have high place In the economy of the
(hurch, but there is also an absolute
necessity for the strong men. When
preachers, women and laymen all work
together for the same end there la bound
lo be progress. That Is what Is happening
In America."
Dr. Jowett has very strong Ideas on the
dlvoice question. "There Is grave danger
to society," he said, "In tampering with
the sacredness of the rtisrrlage tie. The
home Is the foundation of society, and di
vorce Is unquestionably an enemy of the
home. I do not know that t should go so
far as to say that divorce Is under no cir
cumstances Justifiable, but I thoroughly
believe there la grave danger when we ad
mit othei causes for It than those laid
down in the Bible.
"There are unhappy marriages, where
hardship Is woiked on Individuals by hold
ing them together, but life Is full of In
stances where Individuals must endure
hardships for the good of the community."
Dr. Jowett Is emphatically a great
preacher. He has a magnificent voice, a
gift of lucid and striking speech and his
manner In the pulpit Is graceful and win
some. He preached In the Fifth Avenue
church last summer and two summers ago
he was accompanied on his visit to this
country by Mrs. Jowett.
Mrs. Hetty Green
Plans" to Help the
- American Women
Trust Company to Be Formed and Life
Jobs Are Proposed to Be
Created.
NEW YORK. Jan. 28-(Special Tele
gram.) Mrs. Hetty Green has ahnounced
the first step In the foundation she pro
poses to establish for tho uplift of Ameri
can women. The announcement comes from
her son. Colonel K. II. It Green, and la to
the effect that there will soon be Incor
porated In New York s trust company
through which the great business affairs
of the Greens will be conducted. These
are more widely extended than had been
generally supposed. There are real es
tate holdings In Chicago, St. Louis. San
Francisco, Boston and Toledo: paper mills,
gold mines, stocks and bonds of railroads
and Industrial corporations, oil properties
and various other Interests.
A significant statement made by Colonel
Green In announcing the new trust com
pany Is this: "I hope to be of real ser
vice to the whole country. Actual
experience has shown me that the
best use for inherited wealth is that which
will create the most number of life Jobs,
rather than satisfy the hunger of a day."
Church People of
England Astounded
Learn that Wife of Archbishop
Canterbury is to Christen the

of
LONDON. Jan. 28. (Special Cablegram.)
The astonishing announcement Is made
that the wife of the Archbishop of Canter
bury Is to christen the dreadnought under
construction beside the Than.es. This ar
rangement Is exciting most unfavorable
comment, even In church circles, where,
while the demands of patriotism are fully

be Identified with such a function.
The non-conformists are rubbing their
hands over the Incident and are surprised
that the atute, diplomatic archbishop
should have failed to realixe the equivocal
light In which IiIh wife's association with
the launching of t lie engine of destruction
will place the established church.

to "oppress It.
WASHINGTON.. Jan. 19 -The American
Red Cross has asked the sollcltor"general
of the United States to advise It as to the
proper steps for the enforcement of that
portion of Its federal charter relating to the
use of Its emblem and name for advertising
by private firms and manufacturers.
Such use of the Red Cross Is punishable
by a penalty up to $M0 or a year's Impris
onment. It Is believed many persons who
use the emblem and name for advertising
purposes are not aware that such use Is
forbidden and that heavy penalties may be
enforced against them.
The United States has entered Into a
treaty with all the civilized governments of
the world to prevent the misuse of the Red
Cross emblem or title. The law specifically
prohibits the use of a "Greek red cross on
a white ground, or any sign or Insignia
made, or colored Imitation thereof, or of
the words 'Red Cross' or 'Geneva Cross.'
or any combination of those words." The
use Is forbidden even for charitable pur
poses, except by the American Red Cross,
Its employes and agents, and the army and
navy sanitary and hospital authorities.
The use of the red cross on the New
York ambulances has been abandoned, and
medical and other associations have pledged
themselves to suppress Its use for any ad
vertising purposes. The officers of the na
tional organisation request of the solicitor
general an opinion as to the best method
for proceeding against those who continue
to use the emblem or name.

WATER TERMINALS NEEDED
Colonel Vance Says Cities or States

HERBERT KNOX SMITH AGREES
Commissioner of Corporations, After

WASHINGTON. D. C, Jan. . (Special.)
"For years it has been apparent to tho
friends of Improved waterways that un
less terminals were secured by either mu
nicipality or state that the improvements
of our rivers and harbors would proceed
In anything but an expeditious and satis
factory manner," said Colonel John L.
Vance, president of the Ohio Valley lm
provement association, who is In Washing
ton carefully looking after the river and
harbor bill to the end that nothing shall
go Into the bill that might Jeopardise Its
passage and Its approval by the president.
"So Important has this subject become
that Herbert Knox fmlth. commissioner of
corporations, has made an exhaustive study
of the subject and In a statement of the
question gave It as his opinion that ter
minals were ss Important as channels; that
localities should, as a rule, be required to
furnish and maintain adequate terminals.
"Equally as pronounced on this subject
are the views of President Taft, who in
his address before the last ..ventlon of
the National Hlvers and Haiiiois congress
maintained that the improvement of our
great watercourses depends in the final
analysis on what the people do toward se
curing free and untrammelled terminals.
He was equally pronounced In an exhaus
tive address mailt In Cincinnati last Sep
tember. No less emphatic on this subject
have been the utterances of Colonel Alex
ander, chairman of the rivers and har
bors committee of the house, and Senator
Burton, for many years chairman of the
same committee, and now a member of the
commerce committee of the upper branch
of congress.

"The agitation which .js been going on
for free terminals for u decade or more,
I am pleased to say, is bearing fruit, and
I look for greater benefits along these
lines In the future. New Orleans practically
owns its entire water front. St. IouU has
seven miles of public wharves. Louisville
has ample wharfage for all demands that
may arise, while many other cities and
towns along the Ohio are the owners of

Naval Of fleers Consider a Clash as

; " --Th-Ians " fn Be--' -Con. " . " '
Idered.
NEW YORK. Jan. 29.-(Sperial Telegram.)
A special correspondent of the World at
Toklo says, in speaking of the possibility
of war between Japan and the Vnlted
States:
"According to an official regarded as the
best authority, Japan would not make any
attempt of attack or make an Invasion
to gain a temporary advantage, only to
be dislodged at some later period, for It
well knows and recognizes the resources
and wealth of the United States.
"Japan's plans would be to concentrate
all Its naval strength In, or near home
waters and await the arrival of Its foes.
By these means it would draw the Ameri
can navy far away from Its base of supply,
and by all the methods within lis power.
It would attempt to weaken the American
naval strength by means of torpedo at
tacks, submarines, mines, subterfuges, etc.,
before giving battle."
"But suppose the American navy would
not cross the Pacific to meet the Japan
ese. what thenT" he was asked.
Wanld Simply Walt.
"Then,"' he said, "they would, with ori
ental patience, wait and wait. Tt don't cost
so much to wait and they could wait while
you Americans couldn't; you would be
come rrstless and would, be sure to come,
sooner or later. After a time the American
public would clamor for something to be
doing, as you put It. as the American navy
would want to be doing something. You
could not wait as long as they could, and
they know It. If they proved successful,
then the much talked of Invasion of the
Pacific cORSt and the Philippines would be
attempted, only after a complete mastery
of the Pacific had been attained.
"The Japanese are opportunists In di
plomacy, in commerce, in war. Their diplo
macy Is never plsyed on the broad, wide
principles of the Vnlted States, but they
gain an advantage wherever an opportunity
occurs, in commerce, likewise, so the war
game will be played. Strange, you hear
of a Japanese Invasion of American terri
tory, but did you ever hear of anyone
dreaming of an Invasion of Japan, as a
possibility? An Island empire, with half
of the entire population (VI.OUO.OOO) of the
I'nlted States condensed in an area smaller

Seward county will be fought Mondsv
night, when the house committee on privi

will probably be represented by Attorney
Norvsl and Scheele by J. J. Thomas. Ths
committee has decided to meet whether the
attorneys are ahle to be present or not, as
the matter had already been postponed sev

contest may be defeated If the delsy Is pro

made, and Chairman Lawrence of Dodge is
now pledged to hurry the matter to a con

on an sctual tie vote, but was given five
extra votes by the election board of the
district, on the theory that there had been
a mistake in the work of a precinct clerk.

written on the back of It. If this conten
tion Is true the house will gain the vote of
one dry republican and lose one member of
the majority.
Removal of Capital Opposed.
Agitation In Lincoln for and against the
removal of the capltol has been opened up
and It la being asserted that the measure
up for consideration In the house. Which
was signed by twenty-seven members, rep
resents the views and wishes of a small'
group scarcely large enough to contain
all the signers. Seven reasons are given
by a Lincoln newspaper as reasons for
refusing to support the bill, as follows:
There is no demand for It; the Initiative
and referendum would give any ambitious
town a chance to start a campaign and so
would take care of the matter as well as
a bill; neither Grand Island or Kearney
are as accessible by railroad as Lincoln;
relocation would crests a large bonded in
debtedness; no benefit would acer.ne '
anybody but property owners In the .new
capital; Lincoln has no chance to compels
under the provisions of this bill, and ths
agitation will obscure more Important mat
ters. One legislator who signed the bill. Frank
Moore of Red Willow, Is quoted as hav
ing changed his mind In regard to sup
porting it.
The whole question of capital removal
Is obscured. Lincoln asserts with some feel
ing that the outsiders are willing to agree
to submit to any modification of ths
scheme, because they have everything to
gain and nothing to lose. The party which
Is favoring the removal Is so well divided
up among several different sections that
concerted action will be a difficult thing
to attain.
IJncoln is beginning to feel a little re
sentful against this legislature which Is
considering capital removal, university re
moval, orthopedic hospital removal and a
number of other measures which tend lo
diminish the Importance of Lincoln as a
lawmaking and education metropolis.
INDIAN PAWNS HIS WATCH
WITH MYSTERIOUS STRANGER
Poor I.o, Silas lloovlllard. Reports I n
fortunate Fxperlenee with

Lo. the poor Indian, Is ngaln the goat.
Such was the case of Silas Roulllnrd. an
Omaha brave, who strikes his tepee some
where In the neighborhood of Bancroft.

across a pseudo pawn shop proprietor, mid
although he now has, or did have, two
silver dollars Jingling fnerrlly within bin
buckskin pouch, he la out a valuable gold
watch. Silas reported his trouble to Deslt
Sergeant Havey yesterday.
Several days ao Silas set out forOmsha
to enjoy himself and (row wise In Ihe
ways of the pale faces of the grest city.
To all Intents and purposes Silts had :
good time. Anyway, after several suns
Friday night he found himself with an
ever-growlns hunger and only his gold
watch between himself and return '.
the lonely tepee.
Someone was obliging enough to tell him
of the ways of white men under such cir
cumstances and Silas Immediately started
out in search of a shop with the sign of
three balls In front. He found one, but It
was closed, for the hour was lata enough
for even that.
A man stood In front, however, a kindly
man, who told him that hs was the pro
prietor, that ho had Just closed the stor
and could not reopen it without violating
the by-laws of the pawnbrokers' union
Yet Just to be a good Indian It was h:s
intention of loaning a fellow brave In dis
tress S2 upon the timepiece. He did so,
pockeiii.g the watch.
Yesterday Silas returned to the shop.
Silas didn't know of sny such detail as a
pawn ticket and the pawn dealer knew
nothing of the watch.
