Christ The final
AUTHORITY IN life

An unusually large congregation
which included number of local So
cialists. attended services in Eastlako
Presbyterian Church yesterday morn
ing when the Rev Henry Cunning
ham, pastor of the church. preached
a special sermon on the subject THE
Presbyterian Church and Social Re
FORMS" MIR. Cunningham, preached
from the text: Therefore all things
whatsoever ye would that men should
do TO you. do you even so to them. ~
Matthew 7;12..
Mr.. Cunningham said that never be-
fore were the people so stirred by
such inequalities and injustices as
exist today. and il was up to the
church to teach that men cannot live
TO themselves alone.
"As a church we affirm that Chris
tianity has largely created the pres
ent demands for social and economic
Justice" Mr.. Cunningham said. "and
I for a larger realization of human
rights and duties. Christianity sets
! the standard of what is right and just
/ The question now is how shall these
/ problems be solved. AS a church, we
/ believe that Jesus Christ is a final
authority over all human life, social
and individual. We believe that right
eousness can be realized in the COM
] plex conditions of modern life only
through the application TO all human
affairs Of the principles as taught by
Christ"
In speaking of Socialism, Mr.. Gun.
= ningham said that although Jesus
! Christ was a Socialist. his type was
entirely different from that OF today.

FIGHT in DELIRIUM

emily stood stlll. Some Of the soldiers
in this hospital have gone mad.
Think, too. OF the frightful life in
the trenches, some OF which are only
100 yards from those of the enemy
An officer described IL at some length.
All day a continual tension of the
nerves and no chance to climb up
out of the narrow ditch, even for an
instant
Even nightfall brings little peace,
for II is the time chosen for surprise
attacks. Suddenly, not ten yards from
trench, men rise from the darkness,
cry rings out; a sentinel. who had
dozed in spite OF himself, staggers to
his feet-too late! The dazzling rays
OF a searchlight kilometer away
blind the men in the trenches, while
the attacking forces. who have the
light at their backs. charge bayonets.
Then all is dark again The search.
light is removed TO escape the shells
OF hostile batteries. In the shadow
of the moonless, starless night a
frightful hand to hand fight takes
place. with hoarse cries OF anger and
death. and with cracking OF rifles.
Thus the nights succeed one an
other, in heavy sleep full of dreams
and Nightmares. some of which are
only too real. Hearing all this. one
can understand that progress should
be slow. One asks ones self how
many more months and months long.
er this killing OF men must go on,
this wearing them down, this dying
OF disease, this frightening them into
madness, until at last the formid-
able Invader shall have been driven
from France.

TRlCKED By STOLEN CODE
Goeben Escaped by Use Of Week-oid
Cipher Stolen From
British.

New York.-The German cruisers
Goeben and Breslau escaped from Mes
sina to the Dardanelles at the start OF
the war by using a week-ol6 secret
code stolen from the British admiralty.
This fact, brought out at the recent
court martial which exonerated Ad-
miral Troubridge from blame, has been
suppressed by the British censor, but
reached New York by mail from Lon
don. Troubri1ge had the boats bottled
up at Messina, but received a wireless
code message, worded and signed in
correct admiralty form, ordering him
to let the cruisers alone. Assuming
that other plans had been worked out
for their capture, he did Gs directed.
Not until he reached London for the
court martial did he learn the order
was spurious Supposedly II was sent
by the Goeben herself or by some Ger
man wireless station. The code could
only have been obtained by spy or
by treaso. OF some Briton high in au-
thority.

~oLoNEL COCKTAILS, as civil
governor of the Canal Zone,
has adhered to the policy he
~ maintained during the engi-
neering work in the region,
that the isthmus shall be a game
preserve, and the zone is proving

months ago II. f. Anthony accompa-

there.
II was expected. says Mr.. Anthony.
that faunal conditions in the Canal
Zone would be undergoing abrupt
changes because of the damming OF
Gatun lake and the consequent ex-
tensive high water From a basin
with no lake worthy OF the name.
with standing water confined largely
to marshy areas except during the
height OF the rainy season, the Gatun
region has been transformed by the
huge dam at the locks into a lake OF
164 square miles in extent and a depth
OF 70 to so feet in many places.
Animals Seek New Homes.
This flooding OF ground formerly

new homes or might even threaten
some of the more restricted. lowland-
living animals with determination. In

ridge crests left above water might
have concentrated fauna driven
there from the adjacent Hooded local

dealing with the newly created lake,

forests by submergence, the rise Of
new aquatic fora such as the water
hyacinth, and the probable inhabita-
ton of the lake by water birds. Such
we're some OF the items In the purpose
OF the expedition and we were

new conditions II the foregoing as
sumptions proved correct.

bugs however made up in diligence

did all they could to make life miser-

nuisances. One species of ant in

them with hounds and as the quarry
