With nothing of great Importance
transpiring in France, the lombard
ment of Antwerp by the Germans held
the center of war attention today.
The Germans have notified Antwerp
that the official bombardment of the
city proper would begin at 9 o'clock
Thursday morning unless the city sur
rendered before them. Whether this
was done is not yet known. va.
The bombardment of the city prop
er is now possible, because the Ger
mans have reduced many outlying
forts. This was not done without
severe fighting and great bravery on
both sides.
The Germans continue to lombard
the city, but with smaller guns than
were used at Liege and Namur. The
seat of the Belgian Government has
been moved to Ostend and refugees
are pouring out by the thousands.
Appearance of Zeppelin over the
city last night threw the populace into
panic. Several bombs were dropped,
doing severe damage Fl

ON RELIGION
OF THE OPEN ROAD
cHRlsT's POSITION IN NATURE
TO REVEAL GOD IN PERSON
ALlTY, SAYS EVANGELIST.

The preacher at Main Street Baptist
Church brought a message last night
on "The Religion Of the Open Road
Or what we may know of God from
what we see in Nature. His words
follow:
"Jesus and His apostles did not call
Christianity system of thought nor
a digest of creeds. but they called 1t
The Way the open road back to God
and to right living. All the common
things of life Christ brought under
tribute to set forth the principles OF
religion and showed that what was
necessary to be known to God was suf
ficiently revealed in the things about
Us to bring all men under the obliga
tion to follow the truth revealed
Therefore, all men are without excuse
None can say T did not and could not
know the mighty God that rules and
animates all things Jesus Christ has
distinctive place in the course Of
Nature to reveal God in personality
and to give to fallen man the abund
ant life, to restore man to his normal
estate in harmony with God. A sin
ful man is set in tune with the in
finite when he receives Jesus by faith
All his relations then become har
monious, between himself and God
himself and his fellow man, himself
and natural forces"

IOTAl DERIVED WOULD Be
MORE THAN HALF DEFICIT
senate Democrats Revise War Reve.
nue. Bill-GasoIine Assessment Is
Taken out-Auto Sales Escape After
Oiseussion-5anking Capital Allot-
ment Reduced.

Washington, Oct. S.-Liquors would
bear the heaviest burden of the $780,
100000 war revenue tax as 1t is being
revised by the caucus of Senate Demo-
Gratis which began work yesterday on
the Finance Committees draft of the
bill. First action of the caucus was to
vote an increase in the proposed ex-
ira tax on beer from so cents to Is
cents barrel, to make the total tax
S1.75 a barrel, with a drawback of ;
per cent for the purchase of revenue
stamps in advance. The amendment,
urged by Seantor Williams of Missis-
sippi. was carried by a large majority
after Senator Stone had made a vigor-
Gus speech against it. A special rev.
enue tax on rectifiers of distilled
spirits of > cents a gallon also was
adopted. Together the proposed taxes
on liquor would yield an annual reve-
nue. of more than $50,OO0,0OO
Democrats of the Finance Commit
tee had agreed to the House tax of
$3.50 a barrel on beer which would
yield, at 80 cents over the normal tax,
an added revenue of 100000 an
nually. The further addition of %
cents a barrel by the Senate Demo
Gratis would yield another 100000 900.
With the per cent discount for
prompt payment figured, the least to
be derived from beer would be approx
imately s46,OOO,OOO.
The proposed tax Of cent a gallon
on rectified spirits, treasury experts
estimate, would yield s5,00O,000. Thus
the total to be derived from liquors
would be more than half the antici-
pated Treasury deficit caused by the
European war.
After a two-hour discussion, the eau
Gus goted-20 to Ito strike from
the bill the proposed tax on gasoline.
The committee had reduced the House
tax from two cents to one cent p
gallon. The caucus then took up the
proposed tax of fifty cents per horse
power on manufacturers sales of auto
mobiles.
After considerable discussion, the
caucus struck out the automobile sales
tax, which, it was estimated would
have raised about $10,O0O,000.
The caucus also revised the tax on
banking capital. AS framed by the
Senate committee, the bill would have
levied 50 for every thousand dollars
of banking capital and surplus. This
rate was reduced to 81 per thousand
by a vote of &c to II.

Christmas All The Year

The Christmas spirit which is now being reused in the large cities is a good thing. Many a poor home will be cheered and many poor child get a glimpse of real Christmas joy, but how it is to be regretted that in such an enlightened nation as ours and one blessed with such natural riches and resources, there should be the poor and the starv- ing. Unemployment is so un- necessary and poverty SO inex- cusible that it seems impossible that We should permit their exis- tence many years longer in this country of ours. Let us hope for the speedy arrival of the day when the people of this country shall vote to the poor a Christ mas that shall last the year round, for a day when no worthy person shall suffer from the bangs of poverty and want.

The Work of a Boys Club

There is great work for 8 boys club in a town. Boys between the ages of nine and sixteen are in what is sometimes called the ''gang age.' They like to get together and to play together. During this period they have great influence one upon the other. for better or for worse They are full of ''boy spirits" that demand expression in some form or other, and ii only the right influences be exerted upon them
 A gang requires a leader and i, is this leader that has the greatest influence upon the layity member of the gang This leader in turn is influenced by men whom he ad- mires, by b 'oks which he reads. games he plays and the many other things which influence boy.
 Exert the right influences upon
 
 the leaders first and upon the boys and their leaders in particular, and we may mould the boys into ths men and citizens that we desire. There is no better way of getting ahold of the boy than thru boy $ club. Thru this medium the ripht influences may be brought to bear, the right ideals held up before them Williams now has boys club. Fourteen boys have already join. ed, and there should soon be four. teen more. The object of this club as nearly az one word can express it, is efficiency. Ih order to be truly efficient the boys must first have absolutely clean habits, and healthy body and mind.
 In the next place both body and mind must be trained to efficiency. The club is but one of the factors which work toward this end, but it is a powerful one A few of the things which it is planne to teach the boys of the Williams club are all kinds of athletic games military drill; the making of bows and ar rows, kites, and various other play things; practical woodcraft; and the conduct of public meetings.
 The editor, MT. Wells, who was chosen by the woman's club to lead boys, will be pleased to receive practical suggestions from anyone, both as to things which may be undertaken and as to the general conduct of the club.

Being in a state where the mining of copper is one of the chief industries, we feel the eff fects of the European war strongly. In many manufactur- ing centers, instead of depress- ion increased prosperity is all ready resulting. The Studebak- CT Works, for instance, have re- ceived an order for $15, 900, 900 worth of wagons, harness. auto trucks and like supplies, from the Allies. Many other manu- featuring companies have receiv- ed like orders. Such orders go a long way toward overcoming the deadening effect which the war at first had on American business.

ENGLISH NEEDS A STRAINER
George Fitch Wonders Which Dialect
of the Country Is Nearest
Correct.

The announcement that a society
has been organized In England for the
purpose of disinterring the English
language from the English pronuncia-
ton will be hailed with deep delight
by Americans.
This society means much to US. For
generations Americans have been &C
cused of shocking crimes against the
English language. According to Eng
lishmen, who get more indignant over
this crime than almost any other ex-
cept that of beating England in ath-
letics, we have racked, manned. twist
ed, butchered and unjointed their
peerless tongue beyond recognition.
We have admitted this with sorrow,
but when it came to reform we have
been helpless. Which one of tho 70
dialects and contortions Of English
spoken in England have we defaced?
Has it been Cornish, Yorkshire, Cock
ney or society English? Has it been
Oxford English, Liverpool English, or
stage English? Has it been the Eng
fish which makes IDS" out of all the
ms" or the English which trans
plants "h's?" Has it been the Eng
lish which uses "brekker" for break.
fast, or that peculiar brand which sub
stitutes "nycher" for nature, "audjins"
for audience, and which says 'tup-
pence-haypenny" as confidently as if it
were spelled that way?
All of this uncertainty has baffled
conscientious Americans. In fact, it
has puzzled us to the point Of paraly-
sis. But now that Robert Bridges,
the new poet laureate, who seems dis
posed to do something more humane
than anniversary verse, has headed
an expedition for the selection of a
real English tongue, we may take
hope.
There could be no real objection to
talking pure English in this country
II the English would only agree
among themselves upon the test
