are Prepared for Worst.
PEACE IS OUT OF QUESTION
Presidena Of UnttHJE Press Buraaus

Italy Says Warning Nations VIII
Fight 70 the End.

NEW YORK, Nay 3-All Europe
recognizes that the great war has re-
solved itself into an endurance cos
test Of indeterminable length. Ar
end Of the war In 1915 is generally re-
garded as too remote for serious eoR-
siderati0n.
The above is the belief Of Roy How
ard. president OF the United Press bu-
reaus and field stations in England.
Germany. Russia, France. Belgium
and ItaN.
"Belligerents and neutrals in Ru-
rope have adjusted their life--nation-
al. commercial and social-On a basis
OF an indefinite war" he said" they
have eliminated every consideration
contingent upon an early peace. with
this point in view Europe-especially
France and England-is dumbfoHnded
at Americas insistent peace talk and
her reluctance to accept the situation
as il exists and readjust business ac-
cordingly''
Europe has accepted the worst as
a probability war OF from two to
seven years-and at the same time IS
prepared to be happily surprised
should the trouble terminate earlier.
THE impression is general in both
England and France that considerable
force Is meddling in this country in
the direction of an early peaeesS
y such q movemet IS regarded as
impertinent." Howard continued "In
purely military circles it is regarded as
pro-German To say that it is resent
ed is putting it mildly. Peace in the
near future on any basis likely to be
acceptable to Germany IS uRthinkable
in France and England. Statements
that Germany is firing Of the war, or
that there is a peace faction growing
in the Fatherland, can be put down
as idle gossip In no country OF Eu-
rope is the war spirit more nearly
universal or sacrifice demanded be-
ing made more uncomplainingly.

In all OF the churches, due observance

II was the last OF the competitive SER
mons by the pastor and the men Of
the church won the contest by draw
ing forth such a congregation that the
main auditorium and Sunday school
room combined could not accommO-
date 1t. The Indian singers from the
Tutuilla church we're no doubt partly
responsible for the attendance for
their songs in their native tongue
we're a novelty much appreciated.
Fifteen Indians sat upon the platform
and sang during the services while
about 80 younger ones and women
were numbered among the congrega-
ton Rev. ]. E. Snyder's sermon
dealt with THE Ideal Mother-in-
Law"
In the morning Rev. Snyder preach
ed an appropriate Mothers Day"
sermon to a congregation that filled
the church Special musical numbers

divant.
AT the Methodist church in the
morning after Rev C. A. Hodshirs
had preached an impressive sermon
upon Mother" all of the mothers in
the congregation were asked to stand
and were presented with a white car
nation. Song numbers Of the morn
ing consisted of a solo by Miss Helen
Whipple and another entitled Moth
er's Prayer by A. ]. Owen. In the
evening the services consisted Of
short helpful talks by the laymen. G..
H. Mowry spoke upon Loyalty to
our Church. Mr.. MeLain took as his
subject, sEag6hnfch foing a Habit q
Mrs. ]. S. Landers spoke upon the
subject, do Church Services Need
Boosting and How To Do IT, and her
husband told why We Go to

state department will call upon Ger
many for a report concerning the
tcrpedoing Of the American tanker
Gulf light by German submarine.
WASHINGTON, May S.-The state
department faced the grayest situation
since the outbreak Of the war as a
result OF the torpedoing of the Am
erican tank steamer Gulf Light by 4
German submarine and an attack up
on the steamer Cushing by German
aeroplanes, This was admitted today
by officials of the department.
The German embassy has declined
to comment upon the attacks. Bryan
was -committal
Ambassador Gerard at Berlin has
been instructed to formally cali at
tention to the attack upon the Cush-
ing and similar instructions as to the
Gulf Light will probably be forward
ed
II is felt that some excuses may be
offered by Germany as to the attack
upon the Gulf light off the Scilly is
lands, as it probably will be stated
that the desire was to prevent the
tanker's oil reaching the enemy. De-
partment, however, is as much con-
cerned over the aeroplane attack up
on the Cushing as in the submarine
attack upon the tanker Minister
Van Dyke has reported that one of
three bombs dropped by the German
aircraft struck the Cushing. No one
was killed, but some damage was
done
WASHINGTON, May S.-The state
department was officially advised
this afternoon of the torpedoing of
the Gulf Light A cable from Ameri-
can Consul stephen at Plymouth con-
firmed the reports of an attack by a
German submarine.
The Gulf Light was torpedoed Oft
the Sc.lly islands on the first instant

ed. Thirty-four were saved. The YES
