PASTOR IS STILL
 CONSIDERING CALL
Rev. G. +. Pihl Expects to Make De- Cision By Sunday.-Comment By
 Swedish Publication.

Rev. G. F. Pihl, pastor of the Swedish Bethany church, has not yet acted on the invitation received from the Church of the Covenant In Guy Ter, Chicago, III, but expects to make a decision by Sunday. The fol- lowing is translation from the New Eastern Weekly, the organ of the church published in Worcester, re- garding Rev. Pihl's call:
 Rev. Pihl has received a unani- nous call from the Church of the Covenant in Cuyler, Chicago. The said church has many former members of the Bethany church in New Britain and among them is Gustaf Almquist, the present clerk. It certainly is an honor for MT. Pihl to receive call from a church where he is so well known. but it Is also an honor for him that he has been in New Britain for fourteen years and that everything is harmoni>us between him and his congregation.
 "Rev. Pihl came here from Paxton. H., and received a few years ago a call to go back to Paxton, which call, however, as is known. he de- clined. The Bethany church has an excellent pastor and the pastor also has a fine church, so we cannot con- should have to part, notwithstanding the fact that the Chicago church Of fers the pastor a larger salary"

And, secondly, I would say to them, you will respect American lives and property, or the United States will see to it that they are protected. If it were necessary to send a battleship to Vera Cruz again, I would send it with that mes sage. The Mexican mind is firm In the belief that we will not protect our citizens.

Mo "smoke of Battle" Now.

One of the marked features of the
European conflict that distinguish 1t
from the wars of the past is the alb
sence of smoke on the firing line. Ow-
ing to the use of smokeless powder,
no smoke is made when rife is dis
charged, while the heaviest artillery
throws off nothing more than thin
mist that is invisible hundred yards
away and disappears within few Sec
onds after the gun is fired. Only
when shrapnel or she'll explodes in
the enemy's line is there anything Wis
ible in the way of smoke, the whole
purpose being to conceal the position
of the guns throwing the projectiles
while making the points where the
projectiles explode clearly visible. The
expression, the smoke of battle" so
faithfully descriptive of the wars of
the past, has little meaning when ap-
piled to a modern war.-Popular Me-
chanics Magazine.

managed to gasp. Have we been tor.

prepared for the worst" answered the
official.
ooh, don't tell me we're going
down." moaned the other. Quick,
where are the life preservers?"
They wouldn't be of any service at
this STAGE" explained the captain.

passenger.
