Yes. they do"

WAR HITS MISSIONARY WORK
Church Boards in America Hear of
Generalization in Europe and
Far East.

Rev. DR.. S. Karl Taylor, secretary
of the board of foreign missions Of
the Methodist Episcopal church, said
that more than $50 Protestant clergy
men have gone TO the front with the
French armies, and that practically
all Of the German Methodist ministers
engaged in religious and missionary
work in south Germany are with the
German forces. The Methodist Theo-
logical school at Frankfort, DR.. Taylor
said, had been closed as nearly all Of
the students were called to the colors.
Bishop Nuelson in charge Of the
boards affairs in Europe, reports that
churches are distributed and families
and congregations broken up" DR..
Taylor said, REV. Ernest w. Bywssne,
superintendent of the church in
France, sailed from New York on the
Minnehaha, hoping to reach parishes
in southeastern France which are said
to be in great distress"
Fear was expressed by officials Of
the board here that If Turkey goes to
war missionary workers in Tunis and
Algeria will be in great peril.
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 fed to the mountains

''If we lose them We'll never get
them back. Better die than be beaten!"
Herbert Stransky, with deep-set
eyes, slightly squirting inward, and a
heavy jaw, an enormous man who was
the best shot in the company when
he cared to be, had listened in silence
to the others, his rather thick but ex-
pressive lips curyiSg with cynicism.
His only speech all the morning had
been in the midst of the reception in
the public square of the town when he
said:
This homecoming doesn't mean
much to me. Home? He'll! The
hedgerows of the world are my home!''
He appeared older than his years,
and hard and bitter, except when his
eyes would light with a feverish sort
of fire which shone as he broke into
a lull in the talk.

Tory exclaimed.

Stransky, his voice gradually rising to
the pitch of an agitator relishing the
sensation of his own words. Patriot
ism is the played-out trick of the ruling
classes to keep down the proletariat.
There won't be any war! Why? Be

TAKES HIS REST INDOORS
Hubby Has Given Up His Porch Bunk
and Wifey Is at Loss to Un-
derstand Why.

A man living on the West side has
not been feeling very well recently,
and after much urging from the wife
consented to sleep in a couch ham
mock on the rear porch of the home.
The first night his wife made up a
nice little bunk for him in the ham
mock, and in a few minutes he was
sound asleep.
He had slept about an hour when he
was awakened by his anxious wife,
who came out to see if he was slee1-
ing all right. Being assured that sleep
and the man were bosom friends, the
wife withdrew and once more the man
slept. This time he rested a little
over an hour before his wife once
more appeared on the scene and anx-
iously inquired how hubby was sleep
ing. Hubby was a little sore by this
time over being aroused from a, good
solid sleep twice, and CURLY informed
the wife that he was doing all that
could be expected in the sleep line.
Wifey again retired into the house,
and hubby was soon snoring and en-
joying his rest.
WHEY stood it as long as she could,
but shortly before midnight she again
tiptoed out onto the rear piazza and,
after rousing hubby from his sleep for
the third time, sweetly inquired if he
was sleeping all right. Hubby didn't
offer any explanation or deign to re-
ply, but, crawling out of the hammock,
betook himself to his bedroom, locked
the door. tumbled into his bed and
managed to finish the night without
any further inquiries as to his ability
to sleep. Now he refuses to try the
out-of-door sleeping stunt and wiley
says she can't understand Why, be-
cause she just knows il will do him

permanent possession. Children are
