ASK PRAYERS AS
MEANS FOR PEACE
Letter is Received Here From
National Conference of Char
tiles and Corrections. All
Asked to Join Movement.

Miss Carrie Rein. secretary Of the
Associated Charities, is in receipt of
the following letter from Mrs. John Nj.
Glenn, president Of the National Con-
ference OF Charities and Corrections,
regarding the day OF prayer for peace
in Europe which, at the request of
Pres Wilson, will be observed all over
the United States on Oct A
To the Members Of the National Con-
ference of Charities and Corrections
"A Personal Word:
Since the president has through proc
lamation called on the people Of the
United States Of America to pray for
peace and has set apart Sunday, Oct
4. as a day of prayer, does il not de-
volve on us to make response, mem
bers AS we are of an association which
for AZ years has in spirit served the
cause of peace by devoted study of
right ways to further the we'll being
of the oppressed?
May we not, recognizing as we must.
that though suddenly the horror Of
war stalked forth, the spirit of latent
war for long has threatened every
household, offer in spiritual union the
prayer:
That rightful and an abiding peace
speedily be procured
That every nation, in humbleness Of
InlIus DC DIOuBIlL 10 STUDY us OM II HIS
tory, in order that il may see what
germs lie embedded in its past deeds
that are now bearing, or may bear,
if uneradicated, the hideous fruit Of
war.
That in the framing OF treaties of
peace, the welfare not alone of this
generation, but of the generations to
follow, be borne Loyalty in mind. so
that no seed may now be sOwn to bear
in the years to come an inevitable and
a devastating harvest.
Furthermore, may we not reflect
upon the work that lies before us, and
pray:
That in the several parts of this
country we may further the peace Of
God:
By hopefully carrying the increased
burden of need at home
By generously doing our part to
lessen the burden of desolation abroad.
By cOurageOusly striving to maintain
the work to which we now committed.
BY finding right ways to further the
work of worldwide reimbursement.
Fellow members Of the National
Conference of Charities and Correc-
tions, let us on Oct. 4 add our prayers
TO the nationwide prayer not alone
for a speedy cessation OF war, but for
the coming of an enduring peace
which shall be the fruit of the spirit.
Yours faithfully,

is possible that the observance will be
carried to still further limits, as the
idea is one that is receiving the hearty
commentator of all Pythians in all sec
lions of the country and also by many
men high in the ranks of other fraternal

B. NJ. Angle, of one of the Chicago
lodges. has already started movement
TO obtain the cooperation OF all of the
saloon keepers in the great city to close
their places of business on that day to
make the occasion a great success The
publicity committee has arranged list
of subjects for discussion all of them
applying TO fraternity and carrying with
them the hope of deeper interest In
matters of civic nature. II is hoped
by the committee that every church in
Chicago on that day will observe Frater-
nifty Sunday Not only are the churches
asked by the Pythians TO observe the day
but lodges generally labor unions, clubs
and other organizations are invited to
cooperate in the general observance.
This special day will mark the climax
of the achievements of the Fifty Years
of Fraternity as exempliied by the
knights of Pythias.

The civil engineers in the employ of
the Maine Central Railroad have been
al work in the company's Augusta
yard during the past few days running
the lines for the changes to be made
in the location of the tracks when the
new bridge IS completed, which will
be early the coming fall, and compar-
ed with the present location of the
tracks the change will be quite a ma
tertal one. The change will bring the
eastbound track over TO the right so
that 1t will occupy the position now
occupied by the track running by the
location Of the old freight shed, and
above the Bridge street crossing it will
occupy the position now occupied by
the spur known as the Lambard track
This change of location of the tracks
will do away with the "cross-ove
switch just south of the hay barn
where the double iron now begins and
will give practically straight line of
tracks from below the Winthrop street
crossing to the new bridge
