This figure of 80,000,000 is not a rough guess of the amount needed, but has ben reached as the result of most scientifically prepared estimates of the minimum amount which would meet the pressing needs in each field. Several years ago, in preparation Centenary, detailed question- ne were sent out to the financial | commitees in charge of each mission {area. These questionnaires were filled in by the men on the spot, and were subject to review and the O. K. of the bishop in charge of each area. They were then sent back to a cen- tral financial committee who went over them very carefully, them, and making any cuts or ! changes that seemed possible.

It represents a combina- tion not only of the boards of Home and Foreign Missions of the church, but the co-operation of both branch- es of the Methodist church in Amer- ica has been secured. The Methodist Episcopal Church South and the Methodist Episcopal church will hold common celebration for the first time 1ce their separation in 1847 “Autocra End,” Bishop Bashford. One hundred and fifty thousand Chinese are helping the Allles in France according to Bishop Bashford. Bishop Bashford explained that 25,000 Chinese troops are flghting in the trenches. The rest are laborers. “There are about 125,000 Chinese serving in France armers, trench diggers, and labor The French government began importing them last summer. It offered to pay each man $10 a month, and to send an- other ten to his family at home. As the ordinary laborer earns from elght to tn cents a day In China, this seemed a magnificent offer. But they it was too good to be true. v were a little skeptical of the Irench government's good faith, and went to the Christian missionaries in their villages asking was through the influence missionaries that the gained its first headwa Discussing ultimate results of the Bishop Bashford said that from any point of view, it must mean the end of autoeracy, and a universal ac ceptance of democracy. Dismissing a | GGerman victory as inconceivable, the Bishop said: “The happen the as movement war next worst thing that could would be an inconclusiv peace. Tven this would mean that all GGermany stands for would go by the board. Ifer doctrine that wmight makes right, her militarism, her au- tocracy, all this would be demon- strated a failure if she accupts an in- conclusive peace. Germany-—who started the war—has already said that she would be willing to go back where she was before the war. But she is supposed to be fighting for a place in the sun. If she accepts the status quo, she goes back into the shadow, and renounces all that she has sacrificed so tremendously to win. It may take her people years to in- terpret the full significance of this. But when they do, her autocracy goes by the board. Tismark sald irs ago that Rus- sia, Germany and Austria must stand | together to preserve autocracy In the world.
