MEETINGS
DREW ON SUNDAY
DIR. FIFIELD breaches BOTH
MORNING AND EVENING AT
CONGREGATIONAL
CHURCH.

The union gospel missions which
have opened at the Congregational
church under the leadership of DR..
James ". Fiield, of Kansas City,
were largely attended yesterday at
both services. The congregations were
very attentive and thoughtful as they
listened to the presentation of some
OF the great fundamental truths of
the religious life as they were pres
scented by the speaker.
In the morning the sermon was
from the text. in Gen 1:5, "And there
was evening and there was morning
the first day" From this he pictured
the order of Gods plan of the unfold
ing or developing of life from dark
ness into light, showing that all life
under the reign Of natural law,
which is Gods law, has it's beginning
in fundamentally form and by order
ly development grows into the full
orbed OF matured life, and that the
spiritual life in mar is no exception
to this law of growth. And it is only
as man discovered and obeys these
laws which govern his spiritual life
that he can enter into fullness of the
riches and blessing that God has
planned for him.
In the evening the sermon was
from John 81, Marvel not that I
said unto thee, We must be born from
above" In speaking of the necessi-
ty of the new birth the speaker show
ed how the soul of life of man must
be lifted up into the realm of the
spiritual life before it can come into
vital and harmonious union with the
life of God. That this birth must be
from above is seen in the order of
nature where the things of a lower
kingdom can never rise into the
things of a higher kingdom only as
the higher kingdom reaches down
and lifts it up unto the plane of its
own being. Thus the things of the in
organic kingdom are lifted by the
organic kingdom onto its own plane,
and the things of the vegetable king
dom are lifted by the animal king
dom up to it's plane of life. So God
must lift the soul life of man up on
to the plane of the spiritual life if it
is ever to rise into that kingdom But
first man must do his part, which is
and obedience.
The services will be continued
every evening this week. The public
is cordially invited.

Battling against superior weight,
the Purple and White eleven held
the Huron High School football team
to a scoreless tie yesterday after
noon ats Hitchcock Park.
to Huron against the wind. The ball
was caught on the % yard line and
returned ten yards. The visitors made
q vigorous attack on the M. II. S.
line but met such a spirited defense
that they lost the ball on downs. The
| quarter ended with the ball in Nit
chell's possession on the opponents
Is yard line, and the cry of "Touch-
down, Touchdown" from the side
lines carried the promise of fulfill
ment. but Huron rallied and denied
Mitchell the coveted score. The first
half ended, Mitchell O. Huron o..
In the second half, Huron started
the play with a rush that forced the
home boys back under their goal
posts. A free tumble on the five
yard line gave Huron first down at
that point, but in the four succeed
ing downs the visitors failed to score
and Coacher punted out of danger.
In the last period of play. the Nit
lchel1 boys again threatened Huron's
goal and an attempted drop kick by
Wilder lacked very little of break
ing thea tie. Time was called on
Huron's s35 yard line. Score Mitchell

The Huron team as a whole was
heavy and sluggish. Walker, in the
back field showed occasional bursts
of speed. The "pep' and spirit of
the home team was worth seeing.
Hathaway did some wonderful tackl-
ing, while captain Barnard added to
his reputation by breaking up for
ward passes and general defensive
work. Bryant. Coacher, and Fox
played their usual consistent game.
Wilder, though handicapped by a
sprained ankle, ran his team with
snap and Judgment.
Coach Zilisch was well satisfied
with the game, and is confident of a
clean string of victories for the re-
lnainder of the season.

posed and Arrested.

Paris.-A German aviator has been
arrested in the Boulevard des Italiens
after having remained three weeks
In Paris, posing ,as. Joubert, 2 French
military pilot, and" saccsssfG1lyN defy
ing detection by the French aviation
authorities. His success was due in
large measure to the fact that he
spoke French perfectly and closely re-
sembled the real Joubert. After his
arrest it developed that he had come
from Antwerp with papers that were
regular in all respects from the milf
tary. authorities. He had driven into
Paris in a motorcycle side car.
: On his arrival in Paris he told an
acceptable story of his escape through
the German lines and showed his pa
pers, which included a French. pilots
certificate of Identification belonging
to the real Joubert. He also wore
Joubert's uniform. Because Joubert
was not Intimately known by. any of
the airmen in Paris, the impostor was
not exposed until he met an engineer
of the Gnome motor works, where he
had been sent to look over the mo
tors of the machines that had been
allotted to him.
The engineer had doubts OF the
MANS identity and became confident
that he was merely masquerading as
Joubert while the two were riding in
the Boulevard des ltaliens. He in
duced the German to step into a cafe
with him and there he called a police
official and caused his companions
arrest.
The adventurous German was
whisked away from a crowd which.
learning who the prisoner was. be-
gan to threaten his life. When ques-
toned by the police he admitted that
he was not the real Joubert, but
claimed to be Joubert's brother. He
insisted that he had used the impos-
ture merely because he was ambitious
to become a military pilot and
wished to be accepted speedily for
active service. When informed that
Joubert had no brother he was non
plused for a time. Then he'sought to
create the impression that he was an
insane FrenchmAn. However. the au-
thorities have no doubt that he Is q
German spy.
At latest accounts the prisoner had
not been shot, az the French are
anxious to learn first lust howSm1ch
Information he has succeeded IA fur
nishing the Germans during his three
Weeks' atay III Paris and how he
managed to transmit II e them.

Berlin.-"Artillery is trump in this
war; says a wounded German officer
interviewed by the Tageblatt. He
continues:
e0urs German l,shells areysS.onders,
In addition to their destructive effect,
the moral effect OF their detonation is
plainly to be observed. The enemy 10
not a little affected by he dull, I'M
canny noise. The sho wing Of our field
howitzers is a complete success. They
are actually equal to the heaviest field
pieces of the French, the Rimailho
G5.5 centimeter) howitzers. The
French shells are an effective projec-
tile, except that they do not always
explode.
In u advances we have had oppor.
tunity to observe on the French-dead
and wounded the effect of our shells,
and it was very great. At the Begin
ming of the war the percussion point
of u projectiles is said to have lain
too high, and it is interesting to note
that we first learned this from letters
captured from the French.
ut must be said that the French can
noneers shoot well. They keep a
sharp watch, open fire as soon as they
see dust rising, even at great dis
tances, where they can reckon only on
moral effect. They must also have
excellent Information at their disposal.
Their ammunition supply is we'll
looked after. A cessation of fire be-
cause of lack Of ammunition almost
never occurs. This is the more re-
markable because Of their system of
firing. in which they seek out an area
in which they assume the enemy to be
present and deluge it with their fire.
Our heavy artillery has become
the terror OF the enemy, and the ap-
pearance of the GROWER (the 16 4-5
inch mortar) Is always joyfully well
coined by cur troops. It's effect Is
fearful. I have seen two massive
walls Of a house penetrated by it. The
defamation breaks all the windows in
the vicinity. Where it striker the
enemy are thrown to the ground by
the air pressure. The bodies are ter
ribly mangled and covered with a
g~rayish-blue dust. Although our heavy
artillery has no protective shield, It
has repeatedly taken part in Battles
with direct FIRE and played a decisive
part.
When u fire Is effective, the
French simply abandon their. guns. II

War Will NOT BE
DELAY TOSANTA
CLAUS
NE HAS SUCCEEDED IN IMPORT
ING HIS TOYS FROM FOR
EiGN LANDS

| Notwithstanding the interference
with ocean trade that is accompanying
the war in Europe, Las Vegas young
sters are not to suffer for Christmas
toys If anything, there will be more
both in quantity and variety on sale
here during the holiday season than
ever. A canvass of the local stores
reveals the fact that the merchants
have not only ordered their supply,
but the toys themselves are actually
on dry land, either in New York or
en- route west, at this time, and no
fleet of confiscating war dogs will be
allie to destroy them. 1t seems that,
contrary to the stories that were cir
culated recently regarding the lack of
toy makers in the European factories,
they having been impressed for army
service, the 1914 supply will be In no
way affected. The toys are all made
long in advance and shipped to their
destination as quickly as the orders
are filled.
SO far as Las Vegas is concerned,
on Christmas morning the air will re-
sound with the rumble of just as many
drums and horns as ever, and weeks
before the windows of the stores will
present just as wild a wilderness of
dolls and animated things and Joy pro-
ducers for the little ones as ever, and
insofar as toys are not food stuffs
there is little likelihood that there will
be any advance in price.
II will be a piece of welcome news
to the boys and girls to know that
old Santa is already filling his sack
for his regular midnight journey to
the chimneys behind his famous team
of reindeer.
