J Ited Ocean Grove. the mecca of
Methodists from all over the country.

church to remove the ban on dancing
Z from Ha discipline book. He could
find only one prominent Methodist
who did not think that dancing la still
! a Satanic exercise.
Billy Sunday, who Is the star at the
SOth annual campmeetlng. told the re
, I porter that he Is opposed to any kind
of dancing, proper or Improper.
1 "1 am the uncompromising foe of
; the dance." said Hilly.. "Seventy-five
per cent of the gtrla who go down to
t rutn slide there over the smooth, glis-
'" tening. wax floor of the dance halls.
Of course, there Is both moral and im-
moral dinrlnt, but I am opposed to
both kinds."
loleat Oppoalttoa Predicted.
The Rev. James William Marshall.
I vlce-presnlent of the Ocean Grove
J t'ampmeeting association, said: "If
a resolution Is offered at the general
Z conference asking that the ban- on
J dancing- be lifted, it will be violently
opposed."
Frank B. Smith, general manager of
Ocean Grove, aaid: "I have danced
i only once In my life, and I shall never
do it again. If the dancing masters
a were here now. I would take them to
J hear Billy Sunday, so that he could
convert them.
. The only optimistic statement; so
far as the dancing masters are Con
. cerned. came from former Justice
Isaac Franklin Russell of New York,
who said:
! "I think the Methodist church I
likely to raiae the ban on dancing.
Z The prohibition has long been a dead
J letter. The young people demand its
repeal. The Indecent dances of these

president of the Camp Meeting asso-
elation. Is the author of the rule
against dancing. It Is a compara
J tively recent thing in Methodism. It
never was Intended to do more than
I to forbid promiscuous public dancing.
With the cabaret abolished and 11
. quor a thing of the past, the worst
associations of the dance have gone
forever."
J Dr. Ballard was too 111 to be In
f terviewed. It was said there was
I little likelihood that the appeal of
the dancing masters would be for
! tnally discussed at the camp meet'
ing. Leading Methodists disclaimed
' knowledge of the reported Methodist
J objection to the circulation of hotel
i advertisements depicitlng presons

" was prohibited at the Ocean Grove
hotels, but it is now permitted.
! Evll Has Bees Removed."
! The dancing masters held their final
session at the Hotel Astor yesterday
' and unanimously adopted the resolu-
tion previously adopted by their ex
ecutive committee. The resolution
ends with this paragraph: "We be
lieve that with prohibition an ac
complished fact the greatest evil to
good dancing has been removed. A
requisite for membership in our so
i ciety has always been absolutely sep
!' aration from the liquor traffic"
Lieutenant J. Henry Smythe Jr
Red Cross, who has pust returned
from France, addressed the conven
tion yesterday. He is the son of the
Rev. J. Henry Smythe of Philadelphia,
a prominent Methodist. According to
a statement issued by a dancing
master. Lieutenant Smythe is lead
ing the agitation within the Methodist
church for hepeal of the dancing pro
hibition law.
"Let all Methodists start a cam
paign now. if they wish the amuse
ment paragraph altered in our book of
discipline." said Lieutenant Smythe.
"I hope tbey will co-operate with the
dancing profession and other effective
agencies for such revision. Unless
fellow-Methodists organize at once
the necessary religious propaganda,
next year nothing may be done to
abolish this unwise amusement rule."
Baa Slade Hypocrites of Maay.
"The general conference of the
Methodists everywhere will sea that
Des Moines. I trust that progressive
Methodists everywhere will see that
only instructed delegates attend this
qnadrennlal session. Most reforms are
effected by campaigns, usually aided
by publicity, whether prohibition
woman suffrage or what not. This
ban has kept or driven hundreds of
thousands of young people from our
Methodist membership lists. It ha:
made almost hypocrites of us Meth
odists who do dance, play cards and
go to the theater and also participate
as church leaders.
"World war has brought nations.
denominations and creeds closer to
gether. Most Protestant bodies are
standing shoulder to shoulder and
hndd in hand. In this forward move
ment should Methodism assume a
'holier than thou' attitude? The reso
lution as drafted by me and sponsored
by your influential society expresses
my own feelings in this important
Biatter. Continue to br the move
ment for the good of the church even
more than for your profession. I call
upon an ltoerat juemoaisis to pear
reached by the railway Is the small
city of Pltangul. In the state of Minus
Geraes, about 200 miles northwest of
Rio de Janeiro. The Central Rail
way links up the Important commer
cial and Industrial centers of south
ern Brasil at present, while other
roads and branches form a network
of communications along the Brazil
Ian seaboard, but northern and cen
tral Brazil, wherein lies the country's
greatest potential resources, so vast
as to be practically Incalculable, has
never been opened by transportation
lines.
The main line of the extension will
find its terminus at Para, the north
ern Brazilian port at the mouth of the
Amazon. It will probably traverse the
states of Minss Geraes. Bahia. Goyaz
or Plauhy, or both Maranhao and
Para. A straight line, drawn north by
the west from Pltangul to Para,
measure's approximately 1100 geo
graphical miles, and it is certain that
more than 1500 miles of railway must
be laid in the construction of the
main line.'
It is no secret that British, French
and German interests are anxious to
deal with the Brazilian government
in this project. Representatives of
American steel and railway equip
ment organizations, however, are also
in the field now. and Brasil will bene
fit from the competition resulting.
While an effort is expected from Ger
many. It Is generally recognized that
she has little chance to win. It is
logical to assume thatt hec ountry
from which the bulk of the material
and supplies come also will finance
the building of the road, and In both
these departments the United States
is In a position to bid with favorable
outlook for success.
Probably the first, and one of the
most important, effects of the exten
sion will be an Influx of much-needed
Immigration to Brasil. Simultaneous
ly, foreign capitals will be attracted
by the enormous possibilities and the
main line of.the railway will become
the vertebrae of a maze of branch
toads, threading up Into the Amazon
valley, and straightaway westward to
the great Brazilian plains, which some
day may take pre-eminence as the
world's foremost cotton-producing re
gion. It has been proven that the climate
of central Brasil Is Ideal for growing
cotton. This possibility recalls Presi
dent Epltaclo Pessoa'a Interest In the
methods of raising and ginning cot
ton In the United States.
Whether Brasil is to become a
manufacturing power depends upon
her railway extension. With her vast
deposits of manganese ore and pos
sibly of much coal and iron, connec
tions by rail, and a sufficiency of
labor are the main factors awaited
to employ these resources in the com
ing activity that will presage the eco
nomlc metamorphosis of the country
If cotton is produced on the scale that
is being discussed, it Is safe to pre
diet that the manufacture of cotton
goods will become one of the biggest
industries of Brazil. With iron and
coal in sufficient quantities, and
their existence Is suspected. Brazi
will become a steel-producing nation.
The extension of the railway will
accelerate the Inauguration of the
proposed big irrigation projects, par
ticularly in the state of Goyaz, where
periodical droughts have for years
been depleting the population and
causing untold .suffering and great
property losses.
One of the effects sure to result
from the extension of the railway
system is an appreciable increase in
the world's meat supply. Millions o
acres of cattle land will be brought
closer to the market centers, and the
north will probably supplant the
south of Brasil as. the great cattle
territory of the country.

ARCTIC ICE IS UNUSUAL
Frozen Pack Extends Farther
Sooth Than for Many Years.
NOME!. Alaska. Ice conditions In
the Arctic this year have been the
most unusual in years, according to
reports brought here by the United
States coast guard cutter Bear. The
Ice pack, the Bear reported, was found
to extend further south than at any
time since the vessel began Its patrol
or far northern waters, the pack,
heavy and solid, extending to about
loo miles north of Point Lay. or JO
miles south of Wainrlght.
Along the lower edge of the pack
thousands of walrus were encountered
by the cutter, the Ice being literally
black with the huge mammals. This.
officers of the vessel said, was an
other evidence that the Ice was solid
for a great distance to the north as
the walrus stay close to open water.
The J ear, because of the Ice condl
tions. was unable to reach Point Bar
row and Wainright. and its officers
expressed the belief that passage to
ne Mackenzie river section this year
may ne prevented.

PARIS. There Is bitter feeling
throughout France owing to the ex

the inhabitants of the war zone for
the exhumation of the bodies of sol

fields of northern Frnce and their
transportation to the nearest railway

"The profiteers of death," they are
called. Besides exacting stupendous

Status in Scandinavian, Finnish,
Baltic and German Countries
to Be Examined.
BERLIN. (Correspondence of the
Associated Press.) It Is announced
that the indebteoness of the Metho
dist churches in Finland has been
paid by Dr. Lemuel H. Murlln. presi
dent of Boston university and mem
ber of the war emergency reconstruc
tion comhission of the American
Methodist church. Dr. Murlln is in
Europe1 to Investigate the status oi
the church in Scandinavian, Finnish,
Baltic and German countries. His
action is attributed to the favorable
rates of exchange he obtained in pur
chasing the debts.
He mar take similar action to
Germany where the debt of the Metho
dist churches at normal exchange
rates would amount to 1750,000, but
bow could be paid for about $100,000.
The commission is expected to re
port the results of its inquiry to the
Methodist conference in the united
States in 1920, with recommendations
for the care of Methodists in Europe.
Few Northern Mosquitoes Bad.

But one species of malaria-carry
ing mosquitoes was found In Alaska
by Dr. Harrison G. Dyar, of the
United States national museum, he
tated after his recent studies In the
north. None of the other species, he
said, could be classified as disease
carrying. Dr. Dyar took back to the
states with him several hundred
specimens of the Alaska mosquito.
DIVORCE PROBLEM GRAVE
United Kingdom Reports Increase
at Rapid Rate.
LONDON. Divorce is Increasing
throughout the United kingdom at an
alarming rate, according to a white
paper. The total for 189S was 650.
For 1917 it was 1705, with tne great
est Increase recorded In the years be
tween 1914-17.
Another development which the
government views with alarm is the
number of actions brought by hus
bands. Where once the petitioner was
usually a woman, the past few years
have so changed the situation that In
1917 the number of husbands seeking
separations was 1067 as compared
with 63S wives.

CLOTHING prices are necessarily
climbing this fall, and no man
wants to buy two coats when he can secure full
service from one. Air-in, the coat of double use,
will solve the coat problem for you this fall.
Air-in in fair weather is a smart topcoat
of finest fabric. When wet weather comes,
Air-in affords complete protection from the
elements, keeping you dry and comfortable in
the hardest rain.
We have termed Air-in "the coat with
lungs" because there is a special arrange
ment in the back which permits a continual
circulation' of air. This ventilates the coat, and
eliminates that uncomfortable, unhealthy stuffi
ness found in ordinary raincoats. Every Air-in
coat actually breathes as you walk.
