METHODIST REVIVAL
Big Crowd at All the Meetings Held
on Sunday.

Sunday was a red-letter day in the
history of the local NJ. f. church.
Large crowds were in attendance at
all the services and many We're en-
rolled as converts Dr. Dow and his
people are jubilant over the work
accomplished to date and are loud in
their praises of Evangelists Miller
and Baker. At 1890 Mr. Miller spoke
on the Two Knockings" taking his
text from Rev 800 and Luke 18th
chapter, 25th verse.
This was tender and touching ap-
peal for men to admit Christ into
their lives. At 3 p. m. he spoke to
the largest crowd of men ever seen
at a religious service in Bennington,
his subject being Chickens come
home to roost." As text he choose
Gal CT Whatsoever a man soweth
that shall he also reap" This was
powerful discourse on q mans ac
tions coming back upon him in after
years. He spoke of the harvest
following the sowing of wild oats and
how the wife, mother and children
must suffer in proportion to mans
sins
At 7.30 a packed house greeted the
Evangelists. Mr.. Miller read his
text from list Peter All What shall
be the end OF them that obey not The
gospel OF God" This was the strong
est sermon he has yet given. lie
spoke on the infexcibility of Gods Law
and the justice of His Judgments.
During the day p people politically
accepted Christ, l6 of whom were
men making total of 50 converts
during the past ten days.
Tonight the Evangelist will speak
on THE greatest sin OF Bennington"

ARMY AND NAVY TERMS.
Origin OF Some of the Titles and Elk
pressions In Use.

Here are the origins OF some of the
terms used in the army and navy:
Captain" is derived from the Latin
"caput." meaning Il head; colonel
comes from the Italian "colonna." a
column. the "compagna colonella" hav-
ing been the first company Of an in
fantry regiment, the little column
which the colonel" led The title
lieutenant comes from a word sig.
nifying holding the place.. e.. a
lieutenant colonel is a sort OF under
study for colonel. lieutenant looks
after a companT in the absence of the
captain. and so on. The titles Of lance
sergeant" and lance corporal" origi-
mated in the fact that in the old days
the holders of those ranks carried a
lance instead of n halberd. round the
head of which was twisted a slow
match. Their duties were TO so round
the ranks with these torchlike lances
and give fire 20 the matchbox men just
before a battle took place.
The word dragon" was first used

dore' comes from the Italian "com.

ALLIES VIOLATED

NEW CANAL
Sent Golfers Through To Pacific
Warships
SC0RN AMERICAN REGULATIONS
Col. GoethaIs, Governor of Canal
Zone Is Asked for Report by
Secretary Daniels.

Panama, Dec. 13.-Colonel George
w. Goethals, governor of the canal
zone, was impelled to suggest to the
government at Washington that two
swift American torpedo boat DESTROY
ers be stationed at the Panama ca
nal, one at each end, in response to
the recent activity of belligerent war
ships and GOLFERS in the vicinity of
the isthmus waterway
The action of the Australian collier
Mallina, which left Balboa without
clearance papers and the fact that
this and other Golfers have shown a
disposition to Disregard the canal
zone shipping laws, actuated Colonel
Goethals to take a decisive measure
to preserve in every way the neu-
trality of the canal.
Nearly all the Golfers which have
gathered in canal waters arrived with
out health certificates, and in several
instances the ships sailed without
clearance papers.
The United States torpedo destroy
ers requested by the governor are
expected to do patrol duty and TO
overhaul promptly any belligerent
craft attempting to disregard the
canal authorities.
Alleged violation of the canal ship
ping laws, have, it is said. been the
subject of complaint to Sir Claude c.
Alallet, British minister to Panama,
and also have resulted in causing or
ders TO be given the Notifications to
prevent unneutral Golfers remaining
IN ports in. the canal zone in disr.
gard of the orders of the canal au-
thorities.
In the case of the collier Mallna
II is stated that she arrived without
clearance papers, a health certificate

buy $4,000 worth OF supplies, consist
Ing largely of articles intended for a

She was refused the supplies and
was ordered TO depart because she re

CURED by the canal zone laws. The

similar case

Garrison said tonight that he had re
ceived no reply from Colonel Goeth-
ais to his message asking the colonel
10 explain his request for two torpe
do boat destroyers to operate in the
canal zone.
The request for the destroyers
came as a surprise TO officials as
they had received no intimation that
neutrality was being violated in the
vicinity of the canal. Secretary
Daniels Of the navy department pre-
pared 20 order destroyers from
Charleston or from the west coast Of
Mexico, as Colonel Goethals might in
dicate. Administration officials did
not interpret Colonel Cocktails mes
sage as indicating the situation was
urgent. and sent for further informa-
ton in order to more fully be ad-
yised concerning the general simat-
Ion at the canal.
