The
cantata
at
the
Moravian Church
last
night
was
a
great
success.
The
choir
did
i*s
part
well, and
the
organ
was ably
handled
by
the
organist,
Mr.
S.
A. Bmith.
The
evening
was
on
the
whole
a well
spent
one,
and
it is
hoped
that
the re!urns
have
been
encouraging.

By ARTHUR

HUNGERFORD.
(Concluded from yesterday’s
Avis.)
“Wrapped
up in
this
work of reiief
is
something
that
may
well
prove
to be of
greater
significance
even
than
the
sav-
ing of
physical
life.
For
the
boys and
giris who
are to-day
our
wards
in those
orphanages
are
a
part
" the Near
East
of the
coming
generation,
perhaps
the
decisive
part
so
far
as
the
higher life
of this
chaotic
area
of the
world is
con-
cerned.
“To
train
50,000
children
under
the
influence
of
devoted
Charistian
workers
and
then
to
send
these
young
people
back into the towns
and
cities
with that
spirit
of
service
to
the
Near last that
was responsible
for their
salvation,
is to
do the greatest
thing
imaginable
in the
building of a new Near
East.
The
work
of the Near
Kast
Reliet
is, in the widest
sense
of
the
word,
a
great
missionary
erterprise,
a
mighty
re-enforcement
of
the noble
task
begun
decades
ago by the
tission
boards
and
by
agencies
like
Robert
College,
the
University
at
Bei-
rut
and
the
Constantinople
College for
Women.
**As
one
who
has
been
here
in
the
Near East
clearly sces,
the
work
begun
by the Near East
Relief
as
an
emergen-
cy measure
must
be
carried
on
for
sey-
eral years.
To
drop
it now would be to
knock the
props
froma
under
the strue-
ture
in
the
rearing.
Tlnhe
workwill, of
course,
be gradually reduced.
The feed-
‘ug of
25,000
refugees,
which
has
been
such
a
strain
upon
the
organization
during
the
past
year,
is
at
last
at the
point where it can
be
discontinued.
As
for the orphans,
some
of
th2
¢lder ones
have already been tauzht enough
so
that
they
are
going
back
to
earn their own

support
on
farms
or
at
a
trade.

No one
who

in

could think
for

that
we can

No one wha

who

London,
Nov.
18 h.—Great
interest
has
been
avoused
in medical
circles
here
by
a despatch
from Prague
to
the
effect
that Prof. Ladejewsky,
of
Charles
Uni-
versity, Prague,
ils belicved
to
have
dis-
covered effective
serum
for
arterio
scle-
rosis.
A patient
treated
with the
serum
is declared
to
have
recovered
within
a
short
time.
Medical men,
to
whon
the
gtatement
was submitted,
agreed
that if
such
a
serum
had
been
discovered
it
wauld
go a long
way
towards
lengthen-
ing the span
of human
life.
A previous-
Iy claimed

for

disease
was

In what seemead

bold
a ptace
as
the closest
and
mos:
thril-
ling finish in the arnals
of the
American
Turi, Zev flashed past
the wire at Church-
ill Downs yesterday,
neck and

with
Memorium,
So
c.ose
was
tiat
breath
takin2 tinish
to the mile and
cne quarter
mateh
between
the two great
colts,
that
the judges decision
was
necessary
to
es-
tablish
the
winner.
Trained
observers,
experienced
in
judging
close
{inishes,
and many
of
the
approximately
40,000
spectators
thought
Memorium
had
won.
The
time for the race
was
2.063.
Zav’s
triumph
in
Saturday’s
match
race
also
probably
means
that
he
will represent

United

in
an
inter

race for a purse
of 1,000,000 francs
to be
decided
at Longchamps
course,

The international

Neuilly, France,

notice
on

until
all
clauses
of the Versailles
Treaty
are
¢ nnletely
executed
and the
security
of
Prance
is
guaranteed.
The
Pre nier,

appa-

acded
that
new

unless
full

over
the failure
in
the

for
the
creation
of
