Orvls P. Jordan at the Bvanston Christian church Sunday morning. The sermon wss upon the theme, "Watchman, What of the Night?" and dealt with tbe Christian aao anti-Christian forces of the mod- em world, especially ss they have been manifest te the past year. "Magazine writers have hailed the dissolution of the Christian religion, and the dissolution of socialism, as the result of this present war. Both will be changed somewhat before the contest Is over, bat It Is absurd to as- ___sert that either will perish. It Is not thus that history Is made. infidelity Losing Ground. "It is an interesting tact that the openly and anti-Christian movements ftm weaker than any time within two hundred years, at least in Protestant countries. There Is no Voltaire. Tom Paine, or Bob Ingersol! in our modern life. The speakers expounding infi- delity in Chicsgo or in any other great city ore relatively unknown, and ad- dress only a few thousands, as com- pared with the multitudes that visit Protestant and Catholic churches in the City. This Is because the mate- rialistic philosophy, that was under- neath ao much of the old Infidelity has j team will be fairly light and will lack yet. Harry Wells, a Northwestern man of the class of 1913, and recently appoint- ed secretary of the college Y. M. C. A., will coach tbe freshman team. He has had football experience on the local gridiron and last year coached a team at North Dakota, taxing hold of the squad In the middle of an unsuccess- ful season and whipping them into a victorious banch before the schedule was finished. "Wee Willie" McGill is staying on, of course. It would be hard to do with out the trainer, and "Wee" is some- thing more than a trainer. He builds up the spirit of the/team as well as bandaging the broken hopes and straightening the charley-horses, November Games Better. To get back to the schedule. The month of November looks more prom- ising for the Northwestern team. Mis- souri university comes here on the sixth of that month. This Is the first time that Northwestern and Missouri will have ever played football. North- western athletes have run against them in conference track meets, but they never before have come in football suits. Missouri Is a strong factor in the Missouri Valley conference, and last year slipped it over Kansas university. They will come here with a good team and put up a good game. It is reported that they have a light team, this year, but no definite Information pas leaked from tbe Columbia camp Indiana comes here on November 13 and Ohio State follows the week after. Northwestern stands a very good chance at annexing both these games. First Half Hard. In the first part of the schedule there Is not so much hope. Chicago is not as strong as usual this year, having lost most of tbe old men. Tbe When North Shore Was Wilderness; Story of the Pioneer Days Here â- â- I i m â-  f /": . - -' .

From the time of the earliest explorers, two hundred and forty years ago, the region haa been known to the map makers and historians, and Its shores have been constantly passad by exploring expeditions, military ex- peditions, traders and missionaries.

"Socialism was once antagonistic to Christianity, In the period when it was founded on materialistic philosophy. Now it tends to associate itself with Ideolsm, and to become reconciled to the church. Men are beginning to re- alise that a Christian may believe in either high tariff or low tariff, and that a socialist may be true to his economic creed either Inside or out- side the church. H Becoming More Lli»«,,«i "Within each of the great <len.,.,.i..a ♦Ions are movements signifying the virility of modern religion. The Epis- |copallanB are becoming evangelistic. Next November they will bold mis- sions in nearly every parish in the country. Oat-door meetings bsve t»een L- held before the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York this summer. The biggest Episcopalian achievement is the assurance of a World Confer- ence, on Faith and Order in which Orthodox churches of various kinds.

Iowa says that they have the strong- est team In years and they are out for the conference title. This Is hardly possible, for they have only three "Big Nine" games scheduled and it takes four before a team can get Into the running toward the title.

A story re cently appeared lu a Chicago nt,«s paper to the effect that Northwestern expected to win four games. Imme- diately the alumni and football follow- ers In general set up the cry that it was the same old bunk Northwestern may not win four games It may win more. No definite predictions are made, but a careful survey of the pros- pects gives ample Justification for as- suming a sane hopeful attitude.

Mindful of the Arabic and Lusltanla disasters, he thought it would be an excellent business move to take out special accident Insurance for tbe voy- age to the continent. Without delay he madd application to one of the large companies here and at once was In- formed that no company in th« United States would Insure a trans-Atlantic traveler. Further inquiry proved this. Then the Chicagoan directed a brok- er to cable Lloyds in London for rates on his life while at sea. Back came the anhwer.- ,»iij nit, duii&is for covering sea vo>ago where were nearly always located frontier trading establishments. The starting point of navigation dn Lake Michigan was at Mackinac, which be- came an Important trading center long before Lake Michigan Itself had been thoroughly explored. During the hun dred and forty-three years which elapsed from the discovery period of 1673 down to 1816, there was little progress made in settling the great interior regions west of Lake Mich! gan. 'But in the latter year the sec- ond Fort Dearborn had been construct- ed and there were faint Indications of the appearance of settlers. The- In- dians were still in possession ot the country and their presence was a menace to the safety and welfare of tbe whites who might wish to clesr the forests or cultivate the open stretches of prairie lands. A farm whlcb was known as "Hard- scrabble" had been in existence for some years four or five miles up the South Branch of the Chicago river, and Archibald Clybonrn cultivated a tract on the North Branch near where Cly- bonrn Junction Is now located. The produce from these farms was almost entirely consumed by the garrison of troops at the fort A mail route to the north, connecting the forts at Chicago and Green Bay, was established, Over which a carrier traveled on foot once a month with a bag of mail on his shoulders.. Why a pony was not em- ployed In this service is explained by the difficulty encountered in making a passage for a horse through the tan- gled undergrowth and "over crags," as one narrator expressed it. Over this route, known as the "Green Bay trail." the carrier doubtless became well ac quainted with the country along the lake shore to the north, with Its »ari ous landmarks, lakes, water courses and Indian camps A Man «.t Na« "The mall carrier, says ». » ...... »«i * history ot Green Uay, '»*• neeas- s..rily a man of tough fibre and strong nerve, tor burdened as he was with his pack, mall pouch and loaded mus- ket, be was forced to keep on his feet day and night, wading through snow SO deep at times as to require snow shoes.

Trusty carriers. however, were hard to find, though the pay was good, $G0 to $65 for the trip from Green Bay to Chicago and' re- turn. \ .

At four o'clock we look for the mail, Brought with dispatch *on on Indian trail." he Nina Days for Trip. Judge Advocate Samuel A. Storrow of the United States army made a Journey through the wilderness from Green Bay tar Chicago In 1817, and in his account he relates that he was en- tertained by Major. Taylor, who was in command of the fort at Green Bay. This was Zackary Taylor, then a young man of thirty-three years of age. who afterwards became a famous general in the Mexican war and was president of the United States in 1849. Here Storrow secured an Indian guide and a soldier from the garrison, and with a pack horse led by the men started on tbe 260-mile journey to Chicago. The trip occupied nine days. They passed through a wilderness "entirely track- less," made brief stops at several In- dian villages, where presents were bestowed, and provisions and another guide were obtained. At length they emerged from the forest near the lake at the "River, Millewackie." There was then no settlement at its mouth, as Milwaukee dates Its beginning from 1836. Before reaching this point, how- ever, Storrow dismissed his Indian guides, having become convinced that neither of them knew where they were, and he preferred to depend upon his compass for the remainder of tbe Journey. Having once come into view of Lake Michigan he was sure of his course onward to Chicago. At some dle.ance farther south on their route the two men; Judge Stor- row and his eoldler companionteading the pack hotsc. crossed the Root river, which enters tne lake at the present city ot Racin... The country was di- versified with woodland and prairie, and when within a day's march of Chi- 6 L S NEWS cago they descended the bluffs to the lake and followed the beach during the rest of the Journey. Before taking this track, however, Judge Storrow made a ca>eful examination of the country through which he was pass- ing, its soil and prospects for future cultivation, from the standpoint of sci- entific observation. Storrow was evi- dently a highly accomplished man ant gave close attention to the geology and physical features of the country- then but little known, to this report to the commanding sene**! of the army. Regarding that portion ot his Jour- ney before arriving at Chicago gives a description of tha which without doubt is the same aa that lying in the vicinity of the village of Desplaiues, biiuaied on the river of that name. Characterizes the Soil. The tends of a number of the "gen- tlemen farmers, of EvanBton" ars lo- cated to this neighborhood, and it te interesting to note "the thorough knowledge which Judge Storrow dis- played in his account of the country he found there. The country, he says, "was ot a character for above medio- crity, but labors under the, permanent defects of coldness of soil and want of moisture. The native strength of dicated by the growth of tim- ber, which is almost entirely of white oak and beech, without pine, chestnut, maple, ash, or any kind which denotes warmth. The country suffers at the same time from water and from the want of lt^ The deficiency- of. circula- tion, not of water Itself, produces this contradiction. It Is not sufficiently uneven to form brooks to lead off its redundant rains and form a deposit for midsummer. The snows of winter dissolve and remain on the ground un- til exhaled by the sun at a late period of spring. In prairies that are en- tirely level this-produces a cold which is scarcely dissipated by the heat of summer; in such as are undulated, it renders one-half (that on which the water rests) useless, or of inferior value. It must be remembered, more- over, that this region is not to under- go the changes incident to new coun- tries generally, from the thinning of the forests and exposure of the soil. It is already on the footing of the old- est, and has received for tbe lspse of ages all the heat it Is ever to derive from the sun alone. At some remotely future period, when a dense popula- tion enables the husbandman to apply artificial warmth to his grounds, means of life may be extracted from this soil which are latent at present It requires industry, and is capable of repaying it." The remarkable correctness of Judge Storrow's observations Is borne out by the treatment that our scien- tific farmers have given to their lands. The tile draining on an extensive scale, which has been carried out in recent years, exactly meets the re- quirements indicated by Storrow, and the problem of too much moisture Is thus controtletl- so as to produce the warmth and fertility of the so!! which are necessary to the highest grade of farming lands.
