Greatly Appreciated.

The Rev. D. H. Jameson. of Cincin-
rati, came, the people heard and
much has been accomplished along
the line of solving the boy problem
and knowing how to live the Christian
life. The keynote seems to be ser.
vice" and definite work for all to do.
The Saturday night meeting of the
boys was success. More than sixty
of the seventy members were in at

was present.
The regular first degree work was
given in nice order. all then adj

Chapter, which came over in a body.
A goodly number of mothers were
also present.
Mr.. Jameson talked to the boys OF
their fraternal organization and OF
the sacredness OF the work they were
initiated into. Then the two Sunday
schools addressed heard many things
10 their advantage.
The sermon at the Christian
church was one OF the most inspirin :
giving all who were present brief
vision of the value and the dignity

break. One man was caught in a
chimney from which he had been snip

a position OF trust in the office OF a
steamship company.
The casualties up TO the present are
said TO be very numerous although the
troops have not suffered as heavily as
might have been expected from the
nature OF the fighting.
Their work OF clearing houses from
cellar TO roof is very risky but they
go in without hesitation. The rebels
suffered severely and hundreds of
peaceful citizens were killed or
wounded by them.

ONE VACANCY
As Germany is Not Represented
at General Conference of
Methodist Church.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, n. Y, May /.
Conditions resulting from the Euro
pean war caused vacancy among the
foreign delegation who gathered here
Monday for the opening of the twenty
seventh general conference OF the
Methodist Episcopal church. For the
first time since the German East Con-
ference became part OF this world
wide Methodist legislative body, no
elected representatives OF the churches
in Germany answered the roll call. 1t
was explained that although the usual
delegates had been chosen they feared
TO come because of possible arrest and
removal from neutral ships. Conse-
quently their sole representative will
be Bishop John N. Nuelson, an Ameri-
can citizen, who has supervision over
the Germanic conference.

pendence bill was taken up in the

almost inconceivable proposition" and
an honest effort to redeem the SOL

NO IMMEDIATE RECALL
OF AMERICAN FORCES

WASHINGTON, May Addition
al instructions sent to Generals
Scott and Funston Monday by Secre-
tary Baker after conferences with
President Wilson and Secretary Lam
sing are understood to make plain
that whatever is agreed upon at the
conference with General obregon,
General Carranza's minister OF war,
must not be based on any immedi-
ate recall of General Pershing's
forces.
General Scott probably will point
out to the Carranza war minister
that the defacto government IS
threatened by factional enemies
within its own border who would
welcome an opportunity to rise
against It. II the United States was
compelled to go into Mexico in con-
siderable force to make security of
Its own borders against bandit raids
that opportunity might be prevented.
