ST0UT'S REVIVAL MEETINGS
Interesting Lectures Have Drawn Large
Numbers TO the Church of Christ

The little minister of the Church of
Christ did a great thing when he Sc.
cured Rev. Charles G. Stout to con-
duct revival services in the Christian
church and the present outlook is that
great interest will be taken in the
meetings throughout the series. Thus
far each meeting has drawn a crowded
house and the lectures which Rev.
Stout has delivered have been very in
teresting and instructive.
These lectures are preliminary to the
sermons which will come later and are
preparing the minds of those who at
tend to receive the deeper spiritua al
thoughts the evangelist intends to
elucidate. AS Mr.. Stout is of diff
ferent stripe from those evangelists
who make practice of excoriating
individuals of community and nail
ing them TO cross of censure and
damnation for vices which they may
or may not possess, he has won the re-
Spect and admiration Of all who have
listened to him, and if he continues in
the line he has so far followed the
chances are he will do a great deal of
good in this community and will I'M
doubleday be able to bring many to
realize the error of their ways and
cause them to have great regard for
their spiritual welfare.
The singing at the meetings is spirit
ed and is Joined in enthusiastically by
the audience. The imported singer
who acts as leader of the chorus is not
only a good singer but good Cornet-
list; and if he will contine his activities
to his legitimate part of the work the
audience will be much better pleased
and the results more satisfactory.

WILL STRIP SHIPS
Of ALL ORNAMENTS

Not only are all the ships of the
navy 20 be painted a dull slate gray
but they are destined to lose all Of
their ornamental work
Orders have been issued by the Navy
Department for the removal from all
ships of the navy of the conspicuous
hgurehead or bow ornament which has
adorned vessels of war since the days
Of the Roman gallery.
This order is in pursuance of I. general
policy TO entirely strip all vessels of
ornamentation and useless weight The
idea will be still further carried out in
having the names of the ships no longer
gilded. They will be painted in slate
color or a darker shade than the hull.
No brass work IS to be exposed on the
deck or sides. and the insides OF boats
and all doors that open outward. dis

INSURGENTS DECLARE
THEY HAVE TO FIGHT
Contest Among Daughters of American Revolution Said
to Have Been Caused by Gentle Rebuff Given
by Mrs. Matthew T. Scott.

This they are doing and the fight is
daily growing warmer as each faction
is marshaling its forces in advance Of
the convention which meets April 19.
Those who represent what may be
termed the administration in Washing
ton are absolutely sanguine today that
Mrs. Scott will be overwhelmingly
elected They say she had enough
votes pledged early IN the fight to bring
about this. They also decline TO be
lieve that the much discussed charter
fight, now on in the national board, will
have any effect upon the real issues Of
the convention or will benefit the in
surgents.
Miss Mary Desha, who heads the
conservative" faction in the District,
says the interest Of her forces in this
administration charter fight is merely
that of onlOokers. The insurgents have
nothing whatever 20 do, she says, with
this matter of administration policy,
and are not inclined to interfere or
take sides between Mrs. Amos q. ORA
per. who leads the movement to amend
the charter rules. and Mrs. Charlotte
Emerson Main, retiring vice president
general in charge of chapter organiza-
tons, who STANDS for the old plan.
MTS. drawer ana ii6A dulttitiiAS pAC
pose to make eligible as charter MEM
bers any who may join new charter
before the issuance OF the charter. Mrs.
Mains contention is that only those
who actually organize a chapter end
are responsible for its inception are en-
titled 10 the distinction OF being char
ter members, and that ii is improper
to allow everybody in on the ground
| floor
The committee Of FIVE, of which Mrs.
| II. V. Boynton was chairman, appoint
ed TO examine into the question, re-
ported in favor of a change. Mrs. Main
was the only member TO vote in the
| negative. An effort. IL is said viii be
made TO adjust the differences else
where upon the floor Of the convention,
! il il is possible.
Both of the principals in the little
administration estrangenent are warm
| friends to Mrs. Donald Mclean. The
members OF she society, insurgent and
regular, il is understood, hold diversi-
| fed opinions regarding the prOpriety
OF amending the rules for the granting
Of charters, although the former are

Back or the impending fight in the

significant story OF a flag OF truce a

she would not adopt the Mclean tactics
of parliamentary procedure and would
return to what they termed the con-

Whereupon. so the hitherto secret
