Sunday School Association
States That Cooperation
Is Needed for Development

Cooperation on every hand Is needed
for the development of the Sunday
school. the responsibility for which
rests on all members of the church, ac-
cording to speakers last night at the
opening session of the twenty-second
annual convention Of the Sunday School
Association of the District of Columbia,
held in the New York Avenue Presby-
terian Church. New York avenue and
18th street northwest.
Discussing the cooperative spirit in
Sunday school work. W. w. MILAN,
trustee of the International Sunday
School Association, spoke of the work
of standardizing teaching in the Sun
day schools all over the country under
the direction of the international asso-
citation. 1t has all been done. he said,
through cooperative planning and
studying of new methods.
He told those in his audience that il
their Sunday school was not the best
they should get out and make it the
| best by getting in the procession of CO.
operation.
Describing the definition of oppor-
tunity as diagram of partnership be-
tween God and man, the speaker said
| that this partnership, however, is diff
ferent from the partnerships which
men make between themselves. for the
reason that the man who puts in the
| most capital gets the most profits
| while God throws in the whole of His
capital and gives US the lions share
OF the profltS.
Cooperation in Every Department.
There must be cooperation between
the pastor and the superintendent" he
said. Not tive glad. handshaking
kind, but the elbow to elbow, eye to
eye. heart to heart. Siamese twin CO.

Madrid Lacks Information.
MADRID. November 1. via Paris. No.
vember Premier Dato said today he
had no official information concerning
the report that Prince Won Buelow,
former German chancellor, would come
to Madrid to present to King Alfonso
an outline of conditions on which Ger
many might be willing to consider
peace negotiations.

vents all discussion of tho question of

added that in his opinion attempts to
initiate peace negotiations at the pres
ent time would not be likely to succeed.
In spite of official denials, however,
of possible steps in the direction of
peace. the rumor persists in certain
quarters in Madrid that overtures al
ready have been made by the Austrian
md German governments with the
view of opening peace negotiations.
In these quarters the idea Is pre-.
the failure of such negotiations, the
Span nish government and certain official
personages in Madrid have mutually
agreed to deny that there is any foun-

posals.

LONDON. November 2.-Discussion of
whether the food situation in Germany
really is as serious as has been pic

Germany is starving or in imminent
danger of starvation, but adds: There

Other London papers emphasize the
bearing which the British submarine
blockade in the Baltic sea is likely to
have on Germany's supply of certain
foodstuffs. 1t seems to be taken for

with Sofia and Turkey cannot be pro-
tected soon enough to have any con-
siderable bearing on the food situation

The Rock of Gibraltar.

The rock of Gibraltar, taking into
consideration the far-carrying guns
that are now being cast, will be even
of greater Importance because of its
commanding position at the mouth
of the Mediterranean, where that sea
is little more than 20 miles wide
about as wide as from Calais to
Dover. Gibraltar was captured by
the British July "a, l704, and from
that day has not been out of British
hands. At first little was thought
of the Importance of this stron &
hold. For the succeeding nine years
the Spaniards made repeated at
tempts to recapture it. On one oc-
casion they nearly succeeded. "A
French and Spanish force having
been collected, on the 'isthmus that
joins the rock of the mainland, a
goatherd offered to show them a
path up the sloping sides of the rock
which he had reason to believe was
unknown to the British. This offer
was accepted. Five hundred troops
ascended quietly one night and took
shelter in a hollow called by the
spaniards 'sthe little chair. " AT
daybreak next morning they ascend
ed higher, took the signal station

ed for expected reinforcements. The
reinforcements failed to arrive. The
armed garrison sailed out and drove
the invaders down the rock. Ihe

place made stronger than ever. All
subsequent attempts to capture the
rock have failed. One OF them was

of Aircraft at Washington Yard.

Washington, Oct. 1.-Secretarv
Daniels signed an order today for the
construction at the navy yard here
of a giant biplane for the navy the

The craft will have carrying ca

machine will almost equal in size the
great French battle airships recently
constructed, and it is understood the

the design of a three-inch gun with
which it can be equipped If desired.
In a statement describing the aero
plane Secretary Daniels said It's car

split-Log Drag Needed.

It was pleasant motoring from
Denmark to Barnwell yesterday (Frl-
day) after the rain that had fallen
all of Wednesday night and Thurs
dav. The roads were good, but not
ideal. They needed dragging, when
should have been done Friday morn
ing. Such work would have put the
road from Blackville to BarnWell IN
first class condition. Why should we
do a good piece of work, then let 1t
20 to pieces for lack of proper care?
This; is the poorest kind of economy.
1t is a practice that has been. the
cause of much of backwardness, prl-
vate and public.
The road from Denmark to Black
vile, while tolerably good, is no such
highway as the Blackville-Barnwell
road. It is not as we'll made nor as
wide. On this trip one notices that
the county roads are better kept than
the streets in the towns, Denmark,
Blackvi1le and Barnwell The streets
of Blackville, though, are better than
the other two.
This trip takes one through as fine
looking country as one could wish to
look upon-fne for it's possibilities.
AS it is now, the agricultural condi-
tion is anything but agreeable to see.
Farms for five miles out of Denmark
are fairly well worked and the crops
are good, but the lands along the
balance of the way have been turned
out to weeds and grass, or where
planted have been poorly worked.
And, furthermore, there are too few
people living on the roads especially
from Blackville to Barnwell. What
a garden this would be were there a
farm home for every 100 ares of
land, both sides of the way between
these two towns. When we think
that there are plenty of industrious
white men in South Carolina, with
out homes, who, if they had half d
chance, could purchase these lands
and make them blossom, we are de-
pressed.
We people of South Carolina must
suffer change in our ideals of life.
Where one owns great bodies Of land,
rented out and poorly tended, caring,
thinking nothing Of others, just so he
gets his rents and can live in ease
and idleness, that country will not
prosper. Put the lands, by owner
ship, into the hands Of the people
and then we will have good homes,
good schools and good churches all
along these desolate stretches of
country roads; and fields that are
smiling under the touch of real hu-
man interest and industry. D.
Huggins, in Barnwell People.

SENSATIONAL ANNOUNCEMENT

The Willys Overland Company is gratified to announce that after six years of preparation and perfection of facilities in which the nual capacity of the plant has been increased from 5000 to 100000 cars, they find it poss- ble to produce a completely equipped, high grade powerful, conlmodious, and beautifully finished up-to date to-the minute car with Q 35 h. p. four cylinder motor, magneto ignition, shod with 33x4 inch tires with non-skds on rear) to be sold for S750.
Arizona republican., 1915-06-04

The size and power of this car is the popular type with those whom experience has taught the advantage of combining comfort on the road with economy of operation, and has never before been offered the public at less than S1O5O by any manufacturer in the world.
 It is a family car, complete in every detail, with all the refinements, perfection of mechan- ical features, including electric starter electric lighting, magneto ignition and beauty of coach work which characterize Overland production.

THERE IS NOT AN EXTREME ENTAIL E ATUR EN

This Is practically the same famous Over land that is giving satisfaction to about 100000 owners.
 It is not an experiment. Every part is g. known factor.
 There is nothing theoretical about it. It has the same tried and true rear sys- tenn, the same 35 horse power motor, the same thermo- -syphon cooling system, the same cold-rolled steel pressed frame, the same cone clutch, the same transmission, the same front and rear axles, and an i'm proved electric starting and lighting sys- tenn.
 In short, it is essentially the same car that last season sold for S1O75. But the fact that we have again greatly increased our production again permits LIS to reduce the price. So now you can get the largest four cylinder Overland that will be made during 1916, for S75O.

HOLD UP LETTERS TO GERMANY.
Thousands from United States Never
Reach Destination.

| London, Aug. 5.--Thousands of let
tiers from all parts of the United States
addressed to points in Germany and Bel
GUM are dealt with by the British CEN
sors department weekly, and not one of
them reaches its destination. Those
which contain the address of the sender
are returned, but the great majority
containing no such address are sent to
the dead letter Office to be finally con-
demned to the postoflice furnace.
These letters come chiefly from the
steamers that are taken 10 Kirkwall for
examination, but for some reason mail
from the United States for Germany is
often placed aboard steamers coming d.
rect to England, and as there is no COM
munieation between England and Ger
many there is no way of forwarding it,
even should the British government be
so inclined. Many of these letters con-
Americans to friends in Germany, who
Americans TO friends in German, who
they doubtless BELIEVE to be in financial
straits. In these cases, the sender inva.
riably sends his address, so that the
money can be returned, but even if there
rs no address every effort is made TO find
the sender. Nothing, however goes TO
Germany or Belgium.
Thousands of notices of marriages, in.
vitations, and other social eommunica-
tions are received, but as there is no
telling whether they may not contain
information that is of use TO England's
enemies, they are sent back by the next
outgoing steamer. Apparently the only
way Of getting letters from America TO |
Germany is TO send them under cover 10 |
some friend in a neutral country, with |
a request 90 forward them.
For Belgium, the matter il further
by the refusal Of the Ger
man authorities 10 allow any letters TO
be received in or leave the country. Only /
postcards can reach there, and the only
way of making sure that they 60 is 10
address them under cover 10 the Belgian
consul in Holland. enclosing an interna.
tional stamp and asking that they be
forwarded.
