Captain Boyd is too old and expert

This better weather ahead for
these parts that the government
weather bureau is forecasting prob
ably also means warmer and drier
weather, including, of course, much
warmer nights And there will be
not a few folk to insist that such
weather will not be better than the
kind we've been enjoying of late If
any sort of summer weather is better
OF more enjoyable for humans than
the variety with cool nights. it is
something in the weather line that
hasn't been served yet. But then,
there's nothing so good for the corn
as nice warm nights. SO it's up to
loyal Kansans to grin and bear them.

MAY GO SATURDAY
kansas Troops May Sleep But One
Night at Fort Riley.

If orders are received by General
Martin this afternoon directing the
Kansas National Guard to move at
once to the Mexican border. the
troops which modified at Fort Riley
today may leave for FL Paso Saturday.
That was a prediction in state mill
tary headquarters this afternoon fol-
lowing an announcement from the fed
eral war department.
Such an order would mean that
the guardsmen would sleep in their
dog tents tonight and would probably
start for the border tomorrow with
out unloading tteir equipment" said
General Fuller today.

tan leaders are trying to abuse the
church to a world conception of Chris
tianity. They want to make missions
militant The Gospel that was mis-
sionary in the little world of the first
century should be even more mis-
sionaTy in the far greater and more
interrelated world of the tWenueth
century. The Macedonian call SOUNDS
louder now than it did in PauPs cars:
If this quarters lessons have not fired
the missionary spirit, then there is
something wrong with the Goals
A world war has become a req
school house wherein geography
among other lessons. is being taught a
members one of another" and that
no man liveth to himself, and no man
dieth to himself" are lessons written
large on the front pages of each days
newspapers Our international reia-
tionships are suddenly become the
first concern of patriotism The i'm
portance of permeating these with the
altruistic, brotherly spirit or Christ, is
the theme of the greatest statesmen.
No narrow nationalism can survive IN
these days, any more than narrow
churchism There are profound les
sons for patriots in the past three
months of Sunday school lessons. The
expanding church and the expanding
life are to be thought about thor
oughly.
The Pn1lOSOpny Oh IOWCr-
The personalities and the purpose
and the power that pervade this Sig
nificant history are all to be pondered
Those were dynamic days for Chris
tfanity The Church created sensa-
lions. Single saints were centers OF
power. Things happened wherever
the Gospel went. 1t always made a
difference to his neighbors when
man became Christian. Health,
peace, and service went along with the
new life The lame were made to
walk. The sick arose from their pal
let's. and carried their pallets win
them The blind saw, the deaf heard,
the palsied were quickened. and even
the dead arose. Prison doors were
opened by earthquake messengers.
Nothing seemed impossible to those
early Christians.
Perhaps they were power-pervaded
because they were Christ-centric. Je-
sus Christ was their very life From
and for and through Him they lived.
He was their passion and their
strength. Revolutions were wrought
by the early church because she kept
close to her divine Lord. That is the
message above all others that we find
in the section of apostolic history
which the Sunday schools have been
studying. When disciples are in init
mate, dependent and affectionate re-
lations with their Lord, they share
His power, and His peace. Back to
Christ is the slogan for the old
church today in her new obligations
and opportunities. AS He was the
helper of Paul and Barnabas and SilaS
and Timothy and Luke in their carry
ing of the Good News to Asia Minor
and Europe, SO He will be the ade-
quate support of the church in today S
expansion and extension.
The refrain of the review is in the
phrase from the Golden Text: Think
on these things Finally, brethren,
i. whatsoever things are honest
. whatsoever things are pure,
whatsoever things are lovely, whatso-
ever things are of good report; if there
be any virtue, and if there be any
praise, think on these things

If we labor to pile up good deeds
for which we may be rewarded at the
judgment, our motives for service will
be wrong and we may go uf1rewarded.
But if we give ourself to ministry, sim
ply because the Spirit of Christ pos
sesses US, then our works will glorify
Him indeed. The motive of ministry
is more important in Gods sight than
it's results.
The spirit of self -sacrifice which is
the greatest thing in the world, for it
reveals its greatness not in occasional
sublime deeds, but in the common
place affairs of every day.
If we live for self. we make self not
worth living for.
The command to grow In grace"
is not an indefinite or impractical
teaching. It means to do more of
those things that belong to grace. 1t
entails the thinking less of SELF the
serving of others, the losing of ones
life, and the fulfilling of the Masters
plain commands. If you are doing
this, you may know that you are grow
| ing in grace.
Day after day filled up with blessed
Hour after hour still bringing in new
| spoil.
| -Horatius Bonar
| In the realm of character, POSSIBLE
| ity is obligation. What a person can
do, he ought to do.
! To sacrifice, to share;
To give. even as He gave;
For others wants to care;
| Not our own lives to save.
Lucy Larcom.
It is only worth while in this world
| to be like Jesus Christ The path to
| this perfection runs through the valley
of service. without deep, unfalter-

and sacrifice it is impossible to grow
into Christ's image. Like his Master
the disciple must be among men as

Its easy to cry. I'm beateni and die,

Gaffney was the friend and the pal

been locked upon as little more than
an enemy.
Haughton may change his coior-he
may develop into what the newspa per
folks term "a regular fellow" He may
shed his cold exterior and make him
self really popular. And then, again,
he may not tie may think that he
doesn't need the friendship of the
newspaper boys and the public to
whom they speak each day through
the columns of their papers
That is up to Haughton. But some-
day he may realize that's better to
have the friendship of the newspa per

them TO feel just lukewarm interest

EVIDENCE OF TRUTH OF,
PROPOSED EVACUATION

New York, AIN. 22.---Three other
events today tend to make plausible
the report that Germany may yoiur-
tarily evacuate Belgium:
First--The Frankfurter Zeitung
often inspired by the government
published an important editorial dis
cussing the possibility OF a separate
peace between Germany and Belgium
and urging 1t.
Belgium" the article said, has
until now been considered by the Ger
man chancellor as an object of ex-
change, and sensible Belgians ought
TO be told net to wait too long, when
An opportunity OF honorable peace
Is accorded her. If she refused 1t. she
might In the end be considered as a
good prize Of war"
Second-AM but one of the Social
list members of the Prussian diet have
subscribed to q declaration calling
on the German government to restore
to Belsium her Independence.
The declaration was read In the
diet In the course of debate by Herr
Hirsch, spokesman for the Social De-
mocratic party.
Third-Charles L, 45ernheimer, OF
New York, chairman of the arbitra-
ton committee of the Chamber OF
Commerce, and a prominent mer-
chant has received an important
message from DIR. Bernhard Dernbure
lately unofficial spokesman for Ger
many in the United States. Mr.. Ber'
heimer had cabled to DR.. Dernburs
congratulating him on the report, II
true that DIR. Dernburg was opposing
Germany's annexation of politically
peoples"
DR.. Dernburg replies as follows;
81 thank you very MUCH for your
friendly message. 1t Is true that
have expressed myself In the sense
indicated by you and In taking such
a position I am in the company of a
large number Of representative and
influential men.
when the time shall arrive for
peace. I hope and l believe that our
views will be the ones to prevail

FRANK M'TAGUE AFTER
THE NEWARK INDIANS
Former Secretary of Club Makes Bio
For Franchise in New
Jersey.

Frank J. McTague. who was sec
rotary of the Newark Indians when
Joe McGinnity was In charge Of the
club, is the latest bidder for the
Newark franchise, and he says that
he has Newark capital behind him.
II this concern is successful in get
ting the Newarks. they would play
their games at Wiedenmayer's Park,
the old home OF the Indians.
President Barrow would perhaps
be glad to see the club go to New
ark men, as he feels that Newark, as
well as other International League
teams, have been injured in the past
by alien ownership.
However, it is unlikely that the
reorganized Newark club will be re-
turned to Wiedenmayer's Park. as
organized baseball has taken over
the Fed field In Harrison. and under
the peace terms has agreed to pay
Sinclair $4,000 a year on his In
vestment for a stated period.
Barrow is willing to pay about hall
OF this on behalf of the new Newark
club. but It is unlikely that o. B.
would keep this park at a dead loss
and permit the Newark Information
ais returning to their own grounds,
without trying to make the Fed field
earn some of that guaranteed $780,
600.

WITH THE BOWLERS.

The bowling the past week on the
Newport alleys was far above the
standard and some exceptionally high
scores. were put UP by the individual
bowlers. In the Times Dispatch and
Commercial League some of the best
games' of the season were recorded and
many of the players changed places

team established another record for
the season when they finished with
S42 in the opening game against the
Richmond Dairy aggregation.
The Richmond Dairy team still kept
up their good work and made a jump
in their percentage column.
The HaInes, Jones and Cadbury FIVE,
under the leadership of Captain Bar
rett, is now making some fine records
for class II. organization. and from
present indication they will be slated
as class A bowiers before the season
closes The Chesa peake and Ohio
team made a big Increase in their
standing for team work, but, how
ever, could not win their games. In
the Times-Dispatch League many of
the players put up high marks for
the week, Eddie Rose made new
record Wednesday night when he put
up 100 in consecutive games Tenser
also set new mark for high average,
bowling In a three games series
The Newport Prize Contest has ere
ated somewhat of a sensation with the
howlers. in the duck pin game and
each day there are several changes in
the individual standing and great
rivalry exists among the players.

so the schedule games could be played

The league will open the season Mon
