FORCE PREACHERS
into THE SERVICE
Missionary Work Hard Hit
BY War.
GERMAN METHODIST SCHOOL
Is Now Closed, Students Hav.
ingBeen Drafted Into
the Army.
MISSIONARIES SEE TROUBLE

New York, Sept More than
ESQ Protestant clergymen are bear
ing arms in the French army, ac-
cording to a statement issued to-day
by S. Earl Taylor, Secretary of the
Board of Foreign Missions of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, while
nearly all of the German Methodist
ministers engaged in missionary and
religious work in South Germany
have been called to the colors.
The Methodist Theological School
at Frankfort, Germany, has been
closed, most of the students having
been drafted into the army, Taylor
said.
"Bishop Nuelson, in charge of the
work of the boards affairs in Eu-
rope. reports to the home Office that
churches are disturbed and families
and congregations broken up" the
statement continues. Rev. Ernest
w. Bywasn, Superintendent of the
church in France, sailed from New
York to-day on the Minnehaha in
the hope of being able to reach par
ishes in Southeastern France, which
are said to be i'm great distress
Fears were expressed by officials
of the board here that if Turkey
goes to war, missionary workers in
Tunis and Algeria will be in great
peril.
From missionaries in the Belgian
Congo word was received of threat
ened attack from the neighboring
German colonies. Letters from Lii
IBERIA tell of distress or anxiety for
the missionaries there due to, the
possibility of an uprising among the
natives. who. Mr.. Taylor said, had
sbecome imbued with the war spirit
as the news of the European war
had spread among them.
Missionaries in India and Eastern
Asia, it is said, are facing serious
problems growing out of financial
and trade disorders.
When orders for the mobilization
of Turkish troops were posted at
Beirut the inhabitants of that city
fled TO the mountains by thousands,
according to a letter received to-day
at the Offices of the Presbyterian
Board of Foreign Missions from DR..
+ L. Hopkins, missionary worker.
The exodus, DR.. Hopkins wrote, was
due to the desire of the natives to
escape military service. Every bank
in the city, he stated, was closed and
business was demoralized.

SCHAEFER TO BRING
 $6,O00 COUNTER SUIT
Says Pohl's Alienation Action Has Damaged His Character and
 Made His Wife Ill.

~NAo
 On the ground that his character has been defamed and that his wife has been made i'll by a suit brought against him for alienation of affec- tions by Fritz Pohl Commissioner Richard Schaefer of the board of fi- nance and taxation is preparing to bring a counter suit for s6,000. Pohl, in his suit against Schaefer, said he had been damaged to the extent of $5,OO0 by the alleged theft of his wife's affections.
 Schaefer denies that there is any foundation for the action brought by Pohl and says his attentions to Mrs. Pohl were only that of family friend. The suit for alienation was a great shock to him, he says, and will never be proven.
 The Pohl vs. Schaefer action has caused considerable comment and has disturbed the peace of mind of the defendant to a great extent. He also claims that his character has been blemished by the charge, his wife has been made sick and his fam fly held up to ridicule and scorn. He is determined to have satisfaction through the courts, he says, and has told friends that he intends very soon to bring his suit against Pohl asking $1,000 more than what Pohl sued for.'

CONSERVATION REICNS
 IN PHARMACY CIRCLES
Whiskey Selling Results in Certificates Being
 Held Up.

That three or four local druggists may not be granted certificates tes- tifying to their character by the state board of pharmacy was stated today to 8 Herald reporter by John A. Leverty, a member of the commission, who was interviewed over the tele- phone at his place of business in Bridgeport.
 If the certificates are withheld it will be because of the disclosures made several months ago by agents of the state police, who testified on the witness stand in police court that they had no trouble in purchasing whiskey on Sunday in certain stores The refusal of the pharmacy board to deliver the licenses to the druggists will be equivalent to taking away their liquor licenses as the county commits sioners will not grant permission to the druggists to handle liquor unless they can present the certificates.
 The majority of druggists who have applied to the pharmacy board for their certificates have already received them. But, according to MT. Leverty, a number have been held up for in- vestigation and while he dad not say so 1t Is known sthat the board Is con- templating holding them up perma- nently.
 The tardiness of the board in not awarding certificates to certain drug gists has caused consternation among those who have not received them and several are said to face business star vation. It is said that they will sell out their business if they are unable to get certificates.
 When the state police agents were here they said they had no difficulty in obtaining whiskey although they were total strangers to the druggists they approached. As a result of their testimony some of the druggists were convicted in police court and were heavily fined. One appealed to su- perior court and that case is now pending. Another discredited the evil dence of the state police agents by proving an alibi for all the clerks from which the agents said they bought the whiskey.

 ON COMINGS PLACE
R. H Erwin Considering Project of Constructing Building to Replace
 Hanna's Armory.

If present plans of It. II. Erwin, of Maple Hill, materialize the Comings property on East Main street will be- come the site of large armory to replace Hanna's building on the same street, which was sold recently to Landers, Frary & Clark. MT. Erwin has definite details in mind and will consult architects very soon. He is acting upon the encouragement of several influential business and so- ciety men, and feels sure that an armory at the proposed location would be a paying proposition
 To a Herald man MT. Erwin stated that he was planning the erection of a building similar in many respects to Hanna's armory, with the addition, however, of dining and grill rooms. to be used only on special occasions. The hall proper will be somewhat larger and more airy than the one in Hanna's building.
 In answer to a question regarding the possibility of Sylvester z. Poli purchasing the property for the erec- ton Of a theater in this city as is be- ing rumored, MT. Erwin said he had heard from outside sources that MT. Poli is interested in such project.
 MT. Poli has not consulted me per- sonally in the matter, however" he added
 The Comings place is one of the largest pieces of undeveloped prop- erty, centrally located in this city. It has a frontage of 173 rect and a depth of PIG feet, being located be- tween Main and Center streets
