Battalions to Drill. DENVER. Aug,. 10. Christian mili tancy exemplified by the Knights Templars, in.. 32d triennial conclave, made a deep impression on the people of Denver today, when the thousands of Sir Knights now in the city attend ed the religious services of the con clave at the Municipal Auditorium. Forming at the Masonic Temple, long lines of be-pjumed knights in full re galia marched through the streets to the Brown Palace Hitel, there to meet the grand encampment officers and es cort them to the auditorium. March ing to the strain of "Onward, Christian Soldiers," the crested warriors passed In review before the grand officers be tween mounted escorts. . Grand Prelates Attend. . Seated in an automobile, surround ed by officers of the grand encamp ment,' were Very Eminent Sir and Bishop John M. Walden, grand prelate of the grand encampment of the United States, and Eminent Sir Rev. John Wallis OhI, gran prelate of the grand commandery of Colorado, who conduct ed the service which followed. Bishop Walden, with the gray hairs of his 82 years and the many lines of life carved by time on his kindly face, was impres sive to behold as he gazed at the es corts filing between the stands of the cross, on which blazoned In golden let ters was the legend, "In Hoc Sign Vlnces." Sen-ted beside the Bishop was Prelate Ohl, robed in his rich surplice and cas sock. Immense Crowd Present. At the auditorium an immense crowd of spectators had gathered. Sin gle file into the building marched the templars. Then arose the grand pre late of Colorado, and a hush of awe fell upon the thousands beneath the roof. The first notes of "Onward, Christian Soldiers" filled the hall, and, all standing, the sir knights lifted their voices in a deeply resonant song of "Glory, Land and Honor Unto Christ, the King." As the last echoes of the militant song died away In the great dome. Grand Prelate Ohl spoke the opening words of the templars' litany and heard the responses from thousands of knights. Then followed the recitation of the Lord's prayer and the subse quent episcopate litany of praise and glory. At the close of the song by a quartet, "Lead. Kindly Light." Grand Prolate Bishop Walden arose and began the sermon or tne day. ytpoped with age, but his face allKht. - the vtnanhi bishop began to speak to those of the order in which he had served 60 years. Watchword Is Unselfishness. For Templars the one watchword, he said, was unselfishness, and the one rule of life was the golden rule, "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you." Grand Prelate Ohl lifted his hand. The Knights arose and with voices throbbing with emotion sang the stir ring words of "America," the song of the Nation whose land Is their battle ground against oppression and all things not of Christ. The closing benediction, the salte, the solemn march from the hall, and the devotional exercises of the thirty third triennial conclave- of Knights Templars of America were ended.

MILWAUKEE, Aug. 10. James, Car dinal, Gibbons formally opened the 12th annual convention of the Amer ican Federation of Catholic Societies here today with a celebration of ponti fical high mass at StiJohns Cathedral. The cathedral wtr packed during the celebration, while the streets outside were lined with convention delegates. It was estimated today that 30,000 had come to Milwaukee for the convention Cardinal Gibbons bestowed a special apostolic blessing on delegates at ttie close of a mass meeting here this aft ernoon in the Milwaukee Auditorium, which was held at the conclusion of th- greatest Catholic demonstration ever held in Milwaukee, a parade in which more than 15,000 persons took part. It was estimated that there were at least 6000 Knights of Columbus and members of the Ancient Order of Hi bernians in line, while conservative estimates placed the number of mem bers of the Catholic orders at 8000. At least 2000 women were in line. Mil waukee's cosmopolitan populace con tributed a dozen nationalities in the assemblage. The address of welcome to the dele gates was delivered by Cornelius Cor coran, president of the Common Coun cil. Archbishop N. Sebastian G. Mess mer, of the Wisconsin diocese, told the assemblage that Pope Pius X had au thorized Cardinal Gibbons to confer a special apostolic blessing on the coni vention. Cardinal Gibbons, who was the next Bpeaker, appeared to be in excellent health and his speech was delivered in a clear voice and forceful manner throughout.

Another provision said to be con tained in the report of the laws com mittee with a bearing on the proposed contralization of power, requires that members of the executive committee live within S00 miles of Portland. If this is reported out. it is certain to precipitate a warm conflict. Reasons for Change Given. On one side the assertion is made that the present system of having the executive committee scattered over five states, Oregon. Washington, Idaho, California and Colorado, is awkward, illogical and unbusinesslike, and that the best interests of the Women of Woodcraft will be served by central izing authority. As Portland, is the headquarters of the order, the principal J Mm. C. C. Van Orsdall, Chief Figure In Differences Asitat Ihk Women of Woodcraft Grand Lodge. GIBBONS. grand officers living here.

Cousins Says Government Money Will Drift to New York to Liquidate Loans Draw ing Higher Rates. BT W. 8. COUSINS. Editor American Banker.) NEW YORK, Aug. 10. The statement of Secretary McAdoo, of the Treasury, to the effect that he was prepared to deposit from $25,000,000 to I50.0J0.O00 in the banks of the West and South to assist in the crop-moving process, supplemented this week by a call to the Clearing House backers in repr sentatlve Western and Southern cities to meet him in conference in Washing ton, has been received with great In terest. In view of the fact that Mr. McAdoo has already accused the New York bankers of a conspiracy to depress the market for uuvernmeot bonds, and that heretofore funds have always been sent from New York to the interior for crop-moving purposes, a most un natural Inference might be that the Secretary was indulging In a little re taliatory effort on his own initiative in order to chastise the offending bank ers. It is to be hoped, , however, that the honorable gentleman in Washing ton is actuated by higher motives and that the new departure in Treasury proceedings will meet with the measure of success it justly merits. Special Assistance Unnecessary. Though much commendation has been accorded Mr. McAdoo for the announce ment of his policy in this respect, the consensus of opinion is that no such special assistance is necessary or de sirable at this time. Messages received in New York from Western and Southern bankers concur in the belief that no special assistance is needed this year in order to move the crops, that credit has been in no way cur tailed by the banks of this city and that the release of Government funds in any considerable quantity will be attended with baneful, instead of ben eficial, results. The following expres sions from leading bankers may be regarded as portraying with accuracy conditions existing In their respective sections: A prominent Virginia . bank writes: "We do not believe the New York banks are withholding credit to the banks in the South but are extending to them as large a credit as they have for some years past at reasonable rates. We look for no money crisis in the South. Credits have been curtailed to some extent, as elsewhere. Many small banks in the South have had to borrow unusually large amounts this year on account of the poor crops in their section last season." Country Banks. Buying; Paper. A Missouri banker says: "Do not think this section will need any un usual assistance to move crops. Banks in strong position and taking care of the needs of their, customers. Wheat moving freely and deposits of banks in creasing. Many country banks buying commercial paper in open market. No need for this section to call on the East at this time. Demand for crop moving and cattle feeding does not develop until Autumn. Basic conditions sound; trouble is lack of confidence, due largely to distrust of Governmental and legislative activity and trend of policies affecting business." From Nebraska we learn that: "Only the ordinary and usual funds required in the West for crop moving this year. Local bankers seem able and willing to grant the necessary credits. We can see no evidence of the withholding of credit in our section on the part of eastern institutions. Certainly the pos. sibility of impractical financial legis lation suggests. In the Interests of safety to depositors, shorter maturities, so banks may more readily adjust themselves to any changes. The mer cantile world should, and undoubtedly does, expect to bear a large share in the damage resulting from legislation which would compel curtailment of credits." Usual Credits Granted. California bankers are "granting all requests for credit from country in stitutions for crop-moving purposes, and are also granting credits for all legitimate business. We are discour aging speculation of all kinds. We have not heard of any instances where Eastern banks have declined to advance the usual credits to banks in this section." This being the case, it is but a nat ural inference that when the Govern ment money has done its- duty with the crop moving; it will be utilized in paying on loans at tne reserve centers; or, more likely, if not urgently needed for the purpose of crop moving, will be diverted to other channels at once. Thus the country banker who pays the Government 2 per cent for his funds will naturally consider it good bus! ness to use the cash for liquidating loans for which he is charged 6 or 6 per cent. The next step in the process would be the forwarding of the funds to New York to swell the amount of reserve funds at that center, a most undeservable sequel from the Govern ment standpoint. One of the objections advaneed to the Secretary's plan is that action on the part of the Treasury in releasing $50, 000,000 was apt to be interpreted by the public as indicating that conditions are worse than they really are. CO-EDS ARE MISTREATED Girls Learning Trade Compelled to Pvactice on Unclean Hoboes.. CHICAGO, Aug. 10. (Special.) War has been declared against certain prac tices now obtaining in the barber col leges, particularly those teachin women and girls the trade. It is- said that when these schools started none except male students were admitted but in recent years shops operated en tirely by women have become reoog- mzed institutions in this and other cities, making necessary a preparatory training In tne schools formerly nam bering only men on their rolls. The "subjects" upon whom the stu dents practice are recruited chiefly, it is asserted, rrom the barrel houses and purlieus of the underworld, drunken hoboes and bums, many of whom have never taken a bath. Girls learning the barber trade, it is said, are required to scrape these derelicts and contact with them tends to immorality. Hugo Krause, of the society for the prevention of cruelty to animals, an nounced toaay that complaints had been made to him that girls of 13 were required to wash and shave barrel house bums.

(Specials Taking the ground that it becomes necessary for some organization to res cue women from the "evil effects of the woman suffrage doctrine," the National Association, opposed to woman suffrage, today issued a state ment declaring that the organization shall be known by the sub-title of "The Conservationists." The statement of the conservation ists says: "There is something wrong with the condition of women today. Suffragists and anti-suffragists agree on that point, their only differences being the means by which these confiitions of women could be bettered and the con dition -of mankind improved through the influences of the women. "We think that putting women into positions and forcing her to do man's work as well as her own is a terrible waste. It has not been proved in any state where the women vote that she has accomplished anything by the franchise which she could not have accomplished without, it, provided she possesed the knowledge which we deny comes only with the ballot.
