At the last meeting of the Presby-
terry of Denver in the 23rd Avenue
church, April 20, Rev. J. A. Thos-
HAZEL of the Peoples church was
unanimously elected Moderator for
the next twelve months. In addition
thereto, the recently elected Modera
tor was without a dissenting vote the
choice of the house to represent the
Presbytery of Denver at the 1916
General Assembly of the Presbyter-
ian Church, u. S. A. The comforting
of these distinguished marks of honor
on the pastor of the Peoples church
is without doubt faint expressions of
appreciation of Rev. Thos-HaZell and
his work in Denver and Dearfield.
1t is of interest to note that in
spite of the scarcity of money, the
expunging of 43 names from our roll
recently, leaving a net communicate
membership of sc persons, that the
Peoples church is the second from
point of financial merit in the Pres
bytery, the First Presbyterian church
of Golden being the first. Every
agency of the church was considered
by the Peoples, the average contribu-
ton per member for the last year
being $500. Hard to beat.

coLoRED CITIZENS LEAGUE.

The Executive Board met at the
residence of Mrs. Clarence Holmes,
2139 Curtis ST., Tuesday evening last
at o'clock All members responded
to the roll-call and business of i'm
portance and vital interest was trans
acted.
Seventy-five names were added to
the list of members of the League,
many of whom are old reliable citi
zens who have always identified
themselves with anything that stands
for the good of a community and the
betterment of humanity. This speaks
well for the plan of development of
the organization which is being car
ried out satisfactorily, and the keen
interest evinced by the board in the
forthcoming election will find a true
and real reflection by the hearty sup
port of the League in whatever meas
ure is brought forward to promote
the best interests of the people. The
object of the organization being to
purge all the evil from among us and
retain and maintain the good, there
is every reason to hope our indorse-
ment will be for candidates who de-
clare for right for all the people I'M
der any circumstances.

Genealogist Looks Up Joffre's Tree
 While in Hospital

Paris. March 24.-An erudite genea1ogist, Monsieur Gossett wound ed on the cid of battle, has occupied hospital at Tulle in historical Nre- searches into the family of General Joffre. He found it was Of noble origin and that the branch from which the general-in-chief descends ernfgra,ted from France to Spain, to return later and settle at RousflIon
 In the archives of the abbeys of Tulle and Uzerche were found traces of a Geoffre as early as 980. and the works on. the nobility of Iimousfn mention a noble family that figures under. the names of Joufre, Joffre or Geoffra de chambrignac: the device of this family, accorded by Louis xV was Everything for the Father land.'s
 The family name of Joffre is still quite general throughout the region of Brive and there Is a town in the vicinity that has at different periods gone by the names of Jofgre, Goeffre or Geoufre. This spot was the place Of origin of a bourgeois family cer- tain branches Of which were en- nob1ed under the names of Geouffre de Aurussac, Geouffre de Lapradells, Geounre- -Comnene. Two members of this last family even claimed the throne of Greece during the eigh- teenth century on the pretext that the family sprung from one Of the ancient enperors of the Orient

GERMANY HAS VAST NUMBER
 OF PRISONERS
Prof. Duesing Writes Here of Desperate Fighting in
 Battle of Lych.

Full of thrills, stories of heroisn1 and desperate fighting. is the account of the Winter Battle of the Masurian Lakes or Battle of sLych, which Prof. Karl Duesing of Kiel (Gernnany) na- val university, has sent to his broth CT, Dr. Herman Duestng of thisN city. The battle which was fought in East Prussia, ragged for nine days from February to February IT, and de- serves according to the narrator to rank with the worlds greatest con hicts. It was signal victory for the Germans according to the pro- lessor. s5'
 He claims the Germans took s100,- 900 Russian prisoners, among whom were II generals. They also captur- ed 300 cannon. Many of these were f1shed from the lakes where the de- feated Russians had thrown them. Prof Duesing also claims the Ger mans have met with signal successes in several engag gennents along the Vistu1a river in North Poland.
 Prof. Duesing writes that neutral powers have told Germany that only 6,627 German soldiers are held pris- oners by the three largest nations en-

gagged in the war. Of these 39, $50 are held by France; 7,247 by Eng land, and 2,030 by Russia
 On the other hand Germany on February 25, held the following num- bers of military prisoners: Rus sians, 462.0OO; French, 23T,O0O; Bel gians, 37,OO0; English, 19,0Oo. Aus tria- Hungary holds 233,O00 Russian military prisoners and b0,oo0 Ser vians.
 $ The professor says that contrary to reports only two Zeppelin airships have been destroyed and these went down to earth in a violent storm on March off the Danish coast near Schlesw1g. The professor says the allies have not brought down any others with cannon fire because they fly too high.
 On February 20, he claims, g. Ger man submarine boat sank an Eng slish transport with 2.0Oo troops on board. Again on February 22, an- other submarine sank another troop ship and all on board were lost. The number Of the second English trans port was 192 and she met her fate at 4:45 in the afternoon. Prof. Duesing talked with the officers of the German submarine who sank the transport.
 4 Prof. Duesing says that the out look for Germany against Russia is good and that it is the concensus Of opinion among naval and military ex- perts that the war will be a long tone.

TRAINS MUST BE Drs1NFEso CITED


 Berlin, March 24.-Ger1nan rail- way cars returning from the front in Russia according to an order of the railway authorities, must now be placarded with the following inscrip- ton: From Russia-Epide deHnic Dan- ger-B Before reIoadtng must be dis infected, The regulation further prohibits the use of upholstered cars in Russian Poland so far as possi bie owing to the difficulties of disinfect- ing them.
 The insect pest is describebd as g real danger to the German troops. for the parasites, as has been discov- cred, carry spotted fever, from man to man Not few German soldiers have succunbed to it there. SoI- dfers' letters are accordingly appeal ing for insect powders and other protective preparations; and the malls hava been so flooded with these that the post office has had to issue orders excluding all mercury preparations from the malls.
 Fortunately the soldiers are able to see the humorous side of the matter, as is shown by the. names that they have adopted for the different classes Of insects Some are called .'fnfan- try others sscavalny. 2 Still another name for the latter is the ttblack hussars.' 2 The Cologne Gazette soberly suggests that the soldiers adopt the practice of the Arabs, that of keeping their heads shaven, '1n order to leave no room for quarter ing foreign visitors

HOW TO PREVENT
 ACID ST0MA ACHS
AND FOOD FERMENTATION
By . Stomach Specialist.

;
 As specialist who has spent many years in the study and treatment of stomach troubles, I have been forced to the conclusion that most people who complain Of stomach trouble possess stomachs that are absolutely healthy and normal. The real trou- b1e, that which causes all the pain and difficulty, is excessive acid in the stomach, aggravated by food fer menta tion. Hyperacidity irrftates the food fermentation causes wind which causing that full bloated feeling terfere with and -retard the process of digestion. The stomach is usually healthy and normal, but irrftated aI- most past endurance by these foreign elementS-acfd and wind Tn all such cases-and they comprise over 90 per cent. of all stomach dif7cul-l fties-the first and only step neces- sary Is to neutralize the acid and stop the fermentation by taking in a little warm or cold water iTr1fn ediateIy sf- ter eating, from one to two teaspoon fuIs of bfsurated magnesia, which is doubtless the best and only really ef- fective anfacid and food corrective known. The acid will be neutralized and the fermentation stopped almost instantly, and your stomach will at once proceed to digest the food in a healthy. normal manner. Be sure to ask your druggist for the bisurated magnesia. .as I have found other forms utterly lacking in it's peculiar ly valuable properttes.-E. J. G.

Kaiser's Trip to
 Lodz Memorable;
 Populace in Dark

Berlin. March 24-InterestinR 1ef- ters are appearing in the German newspapers describing a recent visit of the German emperor to Lodz. It is the first time since 1858 that a HohenzoIlern has entered Russia as an enemy.
 The pop4lace of I4odz was kept ab- solutely in the dark regarding the visit The main street, the Petri- kowkas now called the Friedrich Strasse, was closed to traffic, and residents were not permitted to open their windows or stand at their doors. The long street swarmed with soldiers and police. Orders. were given for the ringing of all the church bells. X The emperor and his immediate, suite drove through the long street to Polish caAt1e in the suburbs. A German correspondence who was pres ent at the official dinner. of welcome states that the emperor was in ex- cellent health.
 At first sightss' writes the report CT, 'sE thought that the emperor had aged terribly, but on closer inspec- ton discovered that it was a, grey muH1er which he wore round his head that gave him, the appearance Of age. Indeed, I was surprised at the emperor's1 vigor and elasticity. Burrows there were on his face,. gTaven deeply by the experiences of the last seven months, and there was "a sternness about his eye which was new and a sadness in his voice that was absent in the old days
