a series to women only by Evangelist
Slough. There were women ushers and
women singers. But one man was pres

Many of the women in the audience

them at the nursery connected with the

charge to take care of the additional in

Fletcher, Bailey and Reese Are Re-

Maloney Mentioned ON Democratic
Side-other lightning Rods Up

With but little more than a month
of the old year left, politics for 1918
are beginning to loom up, get interest
ing and to make folks sit up and look
or else hold their ears to the ground
to listen. Dauphln county always gets
its share of political excitement, but
next year there will be things happen
ing that will be of more than ordinary
interest, the reason being the unusual
number of Offices to fill.
And there doesn't seem to be any
lack of candidates. There are plenty
of patriots who are willing to serve
the dear people, some of them have
served numerous times, and there is
going to be scramble for office that
will make the famous Kilkenny cat
fight look like love-feast in compari-
son. Let us look over few Of those
who are willing to have try at the
primary election, taking up the Re-
publican list:
OF the Republican candidates for
Sheriff it is said that j. Rowe Fletch-
er, of this city, is very much in the
running Mr.. Fletcher is a former Sher-
iff. He is exceedingly popular and at
his outing last summer at Lucknow
he had gathering of representative
men such as is seldom seen together
in this vicinity. Arthur IL. Bailey, of
Paxtang, at present County Treasurer,
would like to move down one flight in
the court house and occupy the Sher-
ifs position, and Isaiah Reese, of this
city, the popular superintendent of
round house No. 2, is also a candidate
for the nomination.

firing ON j. s. Launch
BY TURKISH FORTS NOT A
HOSTILE ACT. is REPORT

Washington, Nov. 21.-After an an
nouncement from the White House to-
day that word had come from Captain
Decker of the cruiser Tennessee that
the firing of the Turkish forts at
Smyrna upon the cruisers launch on
November II, was not hostile, Seere-
tary Daniels announced that portion
of Captain Decker s first report had
not been made public when received
because it was considered contradic-
tory. He announced that Captain
Decker's dispatch reporting the firing
contained the words, "act not hostile
but unfriendly.'
The Navy Department announce
ment omitted the contradictory phrase,
according to Mr.. Daniels, in order to
verify it, and to-day came word that
the message was correct as originally
sent. Secretary Daniels was unable to
explain its meaning and said that it
seemed to him an expression of opin-
ion by the captain of the Tennessee
without exact knowledge of what took
place on shore.
At the White House the statement
issued said Captain Decker had report
ed the firing as mot hostile act. -
The view being taken that the first
part of the phrase meant that the shots
were not aimed to take effect but as a
warning because the port of Smyrna
was mined and closed.
Secretary Daniels said he had re-
ceived no further messages from Cap
tain Decker since the first report and
that he assumed the commander was
awaiting investigation by Ambassa-
dor Morgenthau. Mr.. Daniels does not
think Captain Decker could possibly
know what occurred on the shore. as
his launch Immediately turned back.
He said the contradictory phrase had
been omitted in his announcement be-
cause it seemed only an expression of
opinion which in itself was inexplic-
able
