The part the home missionary society plays In being a "big sister" to many giris was brought out during the afternoon discussion.

The speaker spoke of the duty of woman to not only bring children inio the world but to prepare the world for these children. "The need for home mission work is evidenced not only in the southland but also in Hie north," declared Mrs. Brummitt. negroes from the south are crossing the line to the north and are looking to the northerners for aid. This constitutes one phase of the mission problem.

A note of warning was sounded by the worker when she told of the increased number of women immigrants which would come to the American continent following the end of the European war. Two reasons for this increase she advanced, one was that the men are gone from the Kuropean countries and the women looking about for means of support and attracted by the conditions and had bought up tin" rrw press THE CROP SITVATIO-1.

"When our boys march into Berlin some members ef the Hohensolierns will be looking for Jobs the rat faced Crown Prince among the rest of them," declared the speaker. Bishop Hughes, in speaking of the relation of American people to the world war declared that there are three great tragedies of life. The first he said was the tragedy to live with nothing important going on, no great actors upon the stage of action and no influential movement taking place. The, second great tragedy, he declared, wtfufcf-be-tue ttvtng when greatness was In action afid'be unable to appreciate the greatness or realize the significance of what was taking place.

As an example of this he showed the action of the people during the CIvH War in failing to realise the true merits of Abraham Lincoln.

Th Bosslbiliiy of the complete suspension of fool bail in ail important colleges and universities In the country as war measure loomed up strongly tonight as a result of the war department request that no fall gridiron schedules be arranged by the 400 educational institutions having student army training corps. All of the big universities In the middle west had already made plans for carrying out the 1918 schedules and the request for the abandonment of the intercollegiate sport came as a distinct surprise.

Practice was to hare started in the "big ten" conference next Monday and similar plans for the practice season were under way in the Missouri conference. Whether the war department request will result In ringing down the curtain on football for the duration of the war probably will not be definitely established until it Is more fully explained. Oiticials of the university of Chicago said the request undoubtedly means that all spare time of the students will be devoted to military instruction instead of athletic and that under the war department pro' grata therg would be no time for the development of footbaC "Every able bodied student will be required to devote fourteen hours weekly to military drill and forty-two hours weekly to academic studies on military problems," said David A.

CHICAGO, Sept. 12. (Leased Wle Service.) The war department's order forbidding Intercollegiate football to be played at alt universities and colleges with students' army training corps came as a thunderbolt out of a clear sky to thoee closely identified with the popular college sport. It has been the general impression of all College men and those interested in football that officials In Washington were heartily In favor of the game. This impression was strengthened by the opinions voiced by commanders of our camps "over there" and In this country.

Football players have been vited for bravery on many occasions and the great majority have received commissions. ith tils exception of Tale, Harvard and Princeton, every university and college In the country of note has arranged its football schedule. The athletic directors realize that enough money must be made from football to carry on other branches of sport. With football tabooed, other college sports 'History never saw such an uprising as it is seeing today. There never were so many nations thrown together in the brotherhood of a great cause as today." 18 Hits Paclfllits Hard.

The speaker paused during the evening Dress Boots with Louis Heels address long enough to take a thrust at some of the pacifists and their actions when the United States entered the war. finally the world will be saved by a visible manifestation of splendor and glory and force of the Savior by slaughtering the enemies. Dr. Rail took strong exceptions to this view and declared that it stood for the literal fulfillment cf all parts of the Bible and emphasised religious militarism and not spiritual power. He characterised the theory as an autocratic scheme bringing religious pessimism into prominence.

The speaker took awlde view of religion and expressed his belief that the world was not built and finished in six days but the Job is still going on. "The world is a world that is being made and I believe there is always something to do," he declared. "The premllleniumista have tbe wrong idea and have a far off We were a peaceful nation with our head stuck in the sand when tbe fray be gan.

Football suits had been taken out of the boxes and the practice held marked. He also had planned any number of complex plays which would have been put in operation against Minnesota on October 12. "I must abide by officials In Washington rule," Mr. Stagg said. "Doing away with football will mean the loss of thousands of dollars to us.

I am sorry to hear of the action, but as the university has been taken over by the authorities, we must abide by its orders.
