GREELEY PEOPLE MAKE

GREELEY, Colo, Dec. PA plea

Several years ago one of the boy

ABOUT IMMIGRANTS

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 12.-
Plans for diverting the flood of i'm
migration from the crowded cities OF

INSTALLATION OF REV J. A
DAILY.

On Wednesday evening the mem
bers and friends of the Presbyterian
church gathered in the auditorium of
the church to attend the installation
services by which Rev. j. A. DAILY be-
came the settled pastor of the church.
For year or more he has served as
stated supply, and at the close of the
year call was extended to him to
become the settled pastor, and by the
action of the Pueblo Presbytery the
service of installation was held under
the leadership of Dr. NJ. II. Macleod,
pastor evangelist of this Presbytery.
He was assisted by DIR. w. II. Wyatt,
of Alamosa; Rev. Elmer w. Blew, of
the Florida mesa church, and Rev. C.
b. Campbell, Of the Bayfield, church.
Rev. Blew preached a scholarly and
Impressive sermon from Rom. 1-16,
For am not ashamed of the gospel
of Christ; for il is the power of God
unto salvation unto everyone that be-
lieveth."
DR.. Macleod gave the statement
and propounded the questions to the
pastor-eleet and to the people in ac-
cordanee with the form of government
Of the Presbyterian church, and then
announced the due installation of the
pastor. The charge to the pastor was
given by Rev. Campbell, and the
charge to the people was given by DR..
Hyatt, who in very happy vein urged
the people to be loyal to their pastor
and work for the upbuilding of the
Kingdom. He particularly warned the
people against ebutting," illustrating
his meaning with an apt story of a
Kansas pastor who was "butted" from
charge to charge and finally out of
the state by, "Oh, he is good man,
but" '.He breaches eloquent SER
mons, but" ''He is good at visit
ing, but etc, etc. Mrs. Frank
Cassil gave a delightful piano solo,
and the church choir assisted by other
local singers furnished the music, with
Mrs. Mollette at the sweet-toned pipe
organ recently given to the church by
the Ladies Aid society. At the close

its top and side were torn in frag-

ashes went flying through the room,
leaving ruin in their wake. In q mo-

greatest efforts on their part that

NIsH, Servia, Nov. 1.-(By Mail to
New York. )--At Krupanj, on the east
ern bank of the Drina, situation has
developed probably without parallel
in all the present European war.
Although able to boast of the fact
that they are in the enemy's territory,
the Austrians are IN the rather EN-.
bafrassing position of neither being
able to advance. nor retire. The lat
est movement on their part would
mean the certain -annihilation Of the
entire detachment.
For over a month"; now these few

resource to a most ingenious method
vi tantalizing their Austrian neigh
bors in the trenches SO near at hand.
This is for the Servians to sing the
folk song of the various districts Of
Servia. In the Austrian ranks there
are many Slavs, or Servians, coming
from Bosnia, Dalmatia, Croatia, Sla-
yonia and other Servian provinces
which are under Austrian rule. That
these folk sings Of the Servians drive
almost to madness and desperation
their brothers in the rival trenches
there can be no doubt, and no small
portion of the duty Of the Austrian
sentinels is that of guarding against
Servian desertions within the Aus
trian ranks rather than Servian at
tacks from without.
In response to these folk songs Of
the Servians, the Austrians who are
not Of Slav origin set up cries Of
Come on you half-tarved Servians;
surrender yourselves; come over to
US; wen give you something to eat"
In response to this, the Servians,
to show that they are not half starv-
ed cease singing and shower the Aus
trian trenches with chicken bones and
other remnants of the evenings re-
past.
Another favorite pastime Of the
Servians is to hurl a whole volley Of
tin cans and boxes at the trenches
pretending they are bombs and ac-
companying them with vocal volleys
which initiate to perfection the sound
