the present title-holder, was short on
a number of his putts, which gave
Von 131m the advantage.

big classic, which was staged at Van
couver, tt. C. Ho made a good show
ing but did nothing to compare with
the form he has shown here.

Conditions in Russia Prove

Wot Survive Dr. Fulkerson
Gives Stirring Address at
Methodist Church.
"Wretched conditions in Russia and
other countries prove that nominal
Christianity cannot Burvlvc," said Dr.
Fulkerson in opening his address last
evening at tho Methodist church. "Wo
must put up a vital typo of Christian
ity that will make Itaolf felt In politics
social life, and tho economic world, or
go out of business."
In speaking of tho world situation
tho thing most critical Is. tho fact that
this Is tho first time In tho history of
tho human history when neary evory
nation has met a crisis at tho sumo
tlmo. Individual mil ions havo not
passed tholr crises, hut universality of
the same thing that has shown ituolf
following this grcnt war constitutes
tho greatest problem that Christianity
has ovor faced. "To bo or not to bo
Is frankly tho problem of tho church
today. Christianity has not failed,
the thing that has failed Is a purely
nominal typo of Christianity.
Tho drift of the world at the present
tlmo is toward democracy. Tho autoc
racies of the world havo elthor fallen
or aro trembling. It nny democracy,
American or otherwise, Is to stand
two principles must obtain. First, the
vast working majoring of tho voting
citizens must ho kopt highly intelli
gent. This wo assumo tho public
schools will do. Howovor tlie war de
partment revenlod to us somo very
nasty tendencies regarding illiteracy
In tho Into draft. Conscription rovcal-
cd that we havo moro than one million
men between tho ages ot 21 and 31
who cannot rend or writo tho English
langungo, and most In no language
Forty thousand, mon, according to tho
war department, sent to Europe could
not rcud t ho orders posted every nior
nlng by tho superior offlcore. Whllo
this Is alarming, it is not beyond cor
rection. I hopo to seo a luw on tho
statute hooks of every stato In the
union compelling every child bom In
this country or who comos hero In
childhood to tako tho grndo school
work in tho English tongue. Thoro is
no place on this contlnont for a con
glomeration of language. The sad
experiences of Austria nnd China aro
outstanding examples of this policy.
National cohesion demands a common
