A hundred of them escaped through

the Germans and the Allies toward

The Able Champagne, who, with 200
of his parishioners, was liberated by
the British troops in the recent bat
tie of Loos, affirms that the first
measure of the Germans was to
shoot seven civilians. among whom
were two men so years old and one
20; the others: were from 80 to 40.
Four of the men were farmers; the
reason for their execution was never
made clear; what they did was simp-
ly this: They went out to feed their
cows one night and while doing so
We're caught by the German sentinels
and held as prisoners until shot.

Ministers Find Thrill in
Hot Volley Ball Combats

The plan to have the ministers play
volley ball was originated primarily to
provide exercise, but the ministers who
have been playing have become so in
tensely interested over the game that
stern battles for superiority take place
when they meet each week. After the
volley ball games they hustle under a
shower ana then take a plunge in the
pool. thus making a real day of recrea-
tlon and fun. while at the same time en-
toying the beneficial results OF the exer-
else.
Rev. Mr. Lowe declares that he expects
to see the volley ball class Of ministers
reach. sixteen or seventeen in numbers In
a short while Those who ere now play
ing are so enthusiastic that their tales
OF the sport have excited less athletic
brethren to action and they are all de-
termined to enter the pastime.

ones playing now arc Rev Titus Lowe,
