HOLD RELIGIOUS MEET IN LINCOLN FOR THREE DAYS State Conference of Minis ters to Discuss Interchurch World Movement Sched- . uled for, Feb. 18, 19,20. The nmt important religious incrtinpr ever held in Nebraska so important thaf every active minister of every evangelical' church in. the sti'te has 1:er asked to be present s' being arranged by the Inter chiTfch World Movement for Feb niary 18, 19 nd 20. The great con ference is to be held in St. Paul's AiQthodist church in Lincoln. ; It v.i'l be the biggest meeting of minis ter ever heid in Nebraska. From the , headquarters ofi the movement in Omaha last week more tlrtn 1,500 jnvitations to Nebraska preachers were sent out, and for M-vcra! days acceptances have been rMiiring in on the committee" which has charge o. the meeting. One of the objects of the confer ence is tc make1 plais for the hold ing of conferences in every county and township in the state in con nection with the Interchurch World movement. These local meetings ;ire to hei held all over the state sometime in March and a definite program vill be decided upon at the Nebraska meeting. Big Religious Survey. Another object of the big confer ence is to report to the ministers, and through them to the churches themselves, the results of the great world survey conference held at At lantic City two weeks ago. Still another object, and possibly the most important of all, is to re port to the churches the result of the Nebraska religious survey which has been under way for some months. v Wnilc the big Nebraska meeting is taking place, a similar meeting will be held in every state capital in the United States. The Nebraska conference if but one of 48 such conferences. According to the plans, fn those dates, every active preacher of every evangelical de nomination in America will take part in one of these conferences. Forty-two of the trrcat religious denominations qf the country took part in the Atlantic City world sur gery conference and while there are some denominations which have not yet become affiliated with the Inter church World movement, the in dividual ministers of those denomi nations are being invited to take part in the state conferences on the Same terms and with the same privileges as the pastors of those denominations which have officially taken action to co-cperate with the 'movement. New Spiritual Era. . - "The ; Nebraska conference can be made the beginning of a, new spirit ual era in this state and SOyears can be -gained in a day," says W. H. Best, Nebraska divisional secre tary for the movement.. " "This conference will be one of ilic ' most notable ." affairs that has ever been held in Nebraska," Says Mr. Best. "The matters that will come before the meeting cannot fail to be of great interest to every pas tor and to every church in America. "Because of the nature of the pro Vram and the outstanding men who will address the meeting, we earnest ly believe the conference will mark an epoch in the life of every attend ant ,and we hope every minister of rvery church in Nebraska will be there." ;. This Is the first time an effort has ever been made to get all the preachers :a the state together for a conference. Burglar Escaping With $500 Caught by Pants Pittsbuigl. Jan.Tl.

In England; No Children If Living Man With 17 Children Says He Cannot Afford Ex pense Wonder That' Children of ' the Poor Speakers Advocating .Large Families Would By A. HAYDAY, M. P. Labor Rrprrsmtntiv for Wert NottlBf ham in tliu Brittnh Parliament. London, Jan. 31. I am the father of 17 children. Twelve are still Hv- iug and seven share with my wife and myself our six-roomed house in Nottingham. There you have the facet points of a miracle the miracle which a num ber of people have to perform and which other busy people are asking others to perform that of rearing . large number of children in the pres ent days of ruinous cost of living, in orderthat the size of our population should be maintained and increased. I have more reasons than most people for knowing what it means to have a large family of children. They are a joy and a recompense if one has the wherewithal to feed and clothe them, but without a sufficient income well, it is a marvel to me' that our asylums are not full of poor parents ofr families of six or more children. It has been estimated by an au thority that it costs, under present conditions, 30 shillings a week satis factorily to rear a aby. But I can not now, and never could, afford to spend anything like that sum on my babies. An M. P's. Income. My total regular income amounts to $3,500 ('875) a year. Call it $70 a week, and it is not possible to man age on that sum without pinching and scraping. Here is a weekly budget: Fnres from Nottingham to London at week enda S.76 8. no 10.00 Second-rate hotel , Luricheona and dinners Income-tax. leval subscription and Incidentals, such as stationery. etc 7. B0 Total IJ4.25 That leaves a balance of $35.75 out of my $70 for housekeeping. Of the seven children living at home with me, six are entirely non-supporting, viz: four boys, 13, 10, 7 and 5 years, and two girls, 3 years and 3 months old. , Here is my weekly housekeeping account: Rent, rates and taxes S 3.T5 Meat (including joint for Sunday) 6.00 Vegetables 3.00 Baron (2 pounds) 1.25 Flour 1.12 Lard 63 Milk .' , 4.50 Bread 3.00 Jam . . .B0 Curtains 25 Wood 25 Butter and Margarine 1.75 Cereals 75 Tea and sugar 1.75 Oas 85 Soup and soda 37 Coffee 75 Insurance 1.82 Boots, least weekly expenditure for the children 3.13 Clothes, ditto 3.13 Coal 1.50 Total 137.84 Those items represent the mini mum of necessities to support my family, and their purchase leaves me with a weekly debt of $2, as against by regular income of $70 a week. That budget does not include such items as clothing and boots fer my wife and myself. Despite my wife's cleverness with her needle, $3.75 a week is required to keep ub both in respectable garments, making a to tal shortage yiri my income of $5.84. All Luxuries Impossible. We cannot afford such luxuries as rich cake, tinned fruits, tomatoes, custards, wines, spirits, beer, thea ters or music halls. Nothing is left over for holidays. The list, you" will see, does not include such items as tobacco. If it were not for the fact that I can add to .my $70 a week income little extra sums occasionally by my lectures and otlier spare-time work War Benefits Doubled Under, New, Sweet Bill ' For Wounded Soldiers Insurance Payments Made Easier, and Beneficiaries , Extended to Include Almost Any Relation to Sol- dierProvision- for Back Payments in a Lump Sum for Tempqrary and Permanent Disabilities. Washington. Jan. 31. How monthly benefits paid under the war risk insurance act have been in creased and the class of beneficiar ies enlarged by the recently enacted Sweet bill was explained today by its author, Representative Sweet, of Iowa. Converted insurance may now be paid in a lump sum or in install ments for 36 months or ' more at the option o fthe policy holder, Mr. Sweet said, while the policies may be made payable to any of the fol lowing: Parent, grandparent, step-parent, parent through adoption, husband, wife, child, grandchild, step-child, adopted child, brother, sister, half sister, half-brother, brother through adoption, stepmother, uncle, aunt, niece, brother-in-law, sister-in-law; any person who was in the relation of a parent to the insured for one year before the insured's enlistment, the children of such person,and parent through adeption of thev in sured's wife or husband. , , Compensation Doubled. "The monthly compensation paid under the new law," said Mr. Sweet, "is more thai double almost treble that paid in the past This in crease, which is permanent, will add $80,000,000 a year to the amount paid by the government to the dis abled ex-service . men and their families. "By the retroactive provisions of the law, all payments of compen sation will be increased to the new basis. Payments now are being made by the war risk bureau t make up the difference between the old rate of compensation and the new one. This in an immediate and direct benefit to 241,822 veterans, among wnom ii4,suu,ouu is oeing distributed, . sc isitajicv, 2& Cost Continues Asylums Are Not Full of Be Mobbed. we should be left in debt. It means worry and pinching and scraping. -iV'e feel at times that there can be no question of such things as holi days and recreation nothing- but nerve-weakening anxieties in the face of the seeming impossibility of making adequate provision for our selves and our children. We remem ber, then, that there are others with even greater anxieties than we have and less money to meet them with. "Cheap, Sentimental Twaddle." Ifall goes to make one develop a big. spirit of resentment against those public men who preach that the population of the country must be increased to make good the short ages brought about by the war, and who, at the same time, express noth ing but cheap, sentimental twaddle, when they would be better occupied in providing material satisfaction for those already responsible for rear ing children by securing for them something like adequate means to bring up a family properly. These people definitely" oreach that we must have increases in our population and they promote a min istry' of health, which means to be like the placing of a very expensive oil painting bearing the growing ideal of an artist, around which are gathered children insufficiently fed, insufficiently clothed and who are left there by the authorities with ab solute lack of proper provision and vithout any real effort to deal with lhe problem of the children. It is galling. Women Would Mob Them. If these people were to go around holding public meetings advocating their views before the mothers of the country they would be mobbed. The many women who have "to do ther best to keep life in their chil dren by buying them penny cubes of some meat extract and by some special favor obtain bones from the butcher for. soup are in no mood to add indefinitely; to their present crushing anxieties. Many of these mothers and fa thers have to sacrifice their . own means to provide food for their children. , There is growing over the country today a' woman's movement which may be called a mother strike. And who can blame these women? It is really a condition of things more serious than any epidemic could ever be. " The women of England , have come definitely to decline to ac cept the responsibility of bearing children unless and until the state or society at large gives definite as- vi autitijr at, mist giva utuuiic as - surances that the mother will be ex- alted and lifted to the higher pin nacle which she deserves to oc cupy.1 , Fathers and mothers of families are hot only harassed by the enor mously increased cost of living, but they are hunted from the houses they, occupy and are refused ad mittance into others because their children are a nuisance! Mothers Hold Winning Cards. The "mother strike" will continue until mothers are afforded more pro tection than they now receive from those, in authority and in a position to provide such protection. In my view, mothers should re ceive a guarantee of a minimum pension of 10 shilling a week for each child under the age of 14. There should be local boards un der the health ministry, with powers to increase the grant up to one pound a week, or more in special cases. Until that time arrives it will not be advisable for public men to face the women of England and urge in creased population. married aoldier who has been draw ing $30 a month for the last year will receive $600 at once. Temporary Disability. Mr, Sweet also explained, the permanent monthly increases pro vided for all -disabled ex-service men. For total temporary disabil ity, the new compensation will be paid as follows: To the unmarried veteran, $80 a month, an increase from $30. To the veteran with a wife, $90 a month, an increase from $45. To the veteran with a wife and child, $95 a month, an increase from $51 To the veteran with a wife and two or more children, $100 a month, an increase from $65. . To the veteran, who has no wife, but one child, $90 a month, with $5for each additional child, an in crease from $40. To the veteran with k dependent parents, an extra allowance of $10 a month for each is also granted. "Of course, all disabilities will not come within the rating of total tem porary," Mr. Sweet said, "and so the new law provides that all dis abilities shall be rated by the war risk bureau. These other ratings are: Partial and temporary, total and permanent and partial and per manent, and for each the monthly compensation shall be a percentage of the degree of reduction in earn ing capacity resulting from this dis ability. The reduction in earning capacity must be at least 10 per cent before one can receive any compensation. Total Disability Pay. "For total permanent disability the compensation is fixed at $100 a month. The law specincally , pro- fiP-'lidjj IfeaJ .the Icji if bsUl fjit SS I). S. HAD THIRD LARGEST ARMY- ON WEST FRONT French .

Prisoners repatriated are not in cluded in the foregoing. March Claimed Record. Maj. Gen. Peyton C. March, American ..chief of staff, announced oir January 26, 1919, that America had the second largest allied army on the western front, in ration strength, when the, armistice was signed. The French, he said, had 2,559,000 men, the United States, 1.950,000 anTl the British, including the Portuguese who were serving with them, 1,718,000.

Then, too, double total per manent, disability entitles one to, $200 a month as long as he lives. For instance, this double payment is for the few men who lost both eyes, one hand and one foot, or both eyes and both hands or both eyes and both feet "The helplessly disabled are fur ther cared for under the new law by the provisions directing the war risk bureau to allow an additional $20 a month to those veterans in need of an attendant. "No penalty is imposed by the law on those disabled merr-for their individual success in overcoming the handicap of a permanent injury. The law directs that disability ratings shall be based as far as practicable upon the average impairments of earning capacity resulting from in juries in civil occupations and not upon the impairment of earning ca pacity in each individual case. From time to time the bureau is directed to readjust the schedule of ratings in accordance with actual experi ence. To Be Given Supplies. "Besides the money paid by the government as compensation to the war-disabled men, the law also pro vides that all injured veterans shall be furnished with reasonable gov ernment medical and hospital serv ices and such supplies, including ar tificial limbs( trusses and similar ap pliances as the war risk bureau may determine. 1 "This medical and hospital treat ment will be given to Americans who may be living in foreign countries as well as in the United States and Americans who fought inrfhe armies of the allies can receive the treat ment at hospitals in this country. , "Twenty to thirty thousand Amer icans were part of the Canadian army and of necessity the Canadian government must look after these who are maimed and crippled, no matter where they may live.

Associ ated with him is Lieut. . Errold G. Bahl. said to be one At" the most capable airmen of the west. These men are building a fleet of planes for maintaining a regular taxi ser vice between Lincoln, Omaha, Sioux City, Des Moines and St. Joe. Mr. Zook says that the proposi tion has been considered in all its phases and that he and his associ ates have produced a plane which meets all requirements as to speed, contort lightness and economical operation with a high factor of safe ty and low landing speed. . These taxi planes at the outstart will carry a pilot and one passenger with a limited amount of special delivery mail between the cities named. The plane is ,cquipped with i a 78 horsepower motor, with a spread over all of28 feet. It has a speed of tfrom -25 to 80 miles an hour and develops a power to climb 4.000 feet in 10 minutes. The total w:ing area is 186 square feet. Loaded with pilot, passenger and fuel for a three-hour flight it weighs 850 pounds. Mr. Zook says that "The Lark' will 'be placed on exhibition in Omaha during the week of the-auto show and because" of its numerous original features, he says that it will atract unusual public atten tion. In retard to the general subject of air transportation Mr. Zook said that he and his associates concur in the opinion that such develop ment will be rapid. "We look for ward to a great future for air trans portation which possesses great pos sibilities both as to commercial ser vice and war service. There is no doubt that Americans interested in thi subject will insist on keeping pace with the progress of other nations or ahead of them." "I am confident that the taxi service we are planning . for the midwestern cities named will .not only be a success, but will in a comparatively short time be ex panded to take in other large cities."
