of Trustees will neither be unduly
conservative nor over-radical but will
be progressive and in the best inter
ests of Penn College.
The rumors which have been afloat
seem to censure the Commercial Club
OF Ottumwa. in that they state that
Ottumwa is making an attempt to get
Penn College away from Oskaloosa
by unfair means. Let me hasten to
correct this Misrepresentation. The
initial steps in the negotiations that
have taken place were taken by en-
ployes of Penn College. Frequent
meetings have been held between
Penn College men and the committee
of the Commercial Club of Ottumwa.
These meetings have been mutual
and cooperative. Whatever PROPOSE
ton, if any, shall appear before the
Board of Trustees of Penn College at
its meeting on Thursday the 10Th
inst, will be the result of long and
careful delibeTation, jointly, between
the Ottumwa Commercial Club and
Penn College men.
The above is a fair and reasonable
statement of the actual situation as
it exists at present.
Respectfully,
DAVID M. EDWARDS,

SENATOR 5oRAl MAKES CHARGE
AGAINST GUARD. b.
Reed Amendment to Give Officers Pay
10 Passed Despite Bitter
Attack.

Washington, April 17.-Federal ap-
preparations for National Guard main
tenance have been "shamefully and
disgracefully wasted or in some In
stances actually embezzled," Senator
BOrah charged. He attacked on the
senate floor an amendment by Senator
Reed to give officers above the rank
of captain in state militia $500 an
nually. The bill is a political meas.
ure, he declared, but it was passed
II to IA.
The senate also passed an amend
ment providing that all guardsmen
on enlistment be required to take an
oath to obey orders from the presi'
dent as we'll as the governors of their
respective states.
Urging his amendment, Reed said:
I'VE may need the National Guard
within thirty days. We should main
tain the Guard at the highest stage
of efficiency. The commanding Off
cers-colonels, lieutenant colonies
and majors-are the brains and direct
ing force of the Guard"
The Chamberlain bill allows $500
annual pay for militia captains, 5000
for first lieutenants, and $3.50 for sec
ond lieutenants. Reeds amendment
would give higher officers $500 q year

Paris Claims Capture Of Trenches
South Of Village, But Berlin
4 Says the Attack Failed.

i, London, April 17.--With the Ger
man offensive west of the Meuse in
the form of heavy artillery action,
continuing againstt Hill 304l and the
Avocourt region, the heaviest fighting
of the day shifted to the Douaunont-
Vaux sector west of the, river, where
for the first time in several days VIC.
lent infantry action took place. OFF,
cial reports from both Berlin and
Paris claim successes in this fighting.
The afternoon report from Paris an
nounces the capture of several Ger
man positions south of Douaumont, to-
gether with 200 men. A statement
from Berlin announces tina crush
ing defeat of French attacks in
the same region. Though the Ger
man statement was issued several
hours after the French afternoon re-
port, it is believed to refer to the
same action.
Berlin claims 200 prisoners in this
fighting, and declares the French
losses in dead and wounded were
heavy.
The midnight communf9ue from
Paris, however, admits no reverses.
but declares that the artillery action
against Hill 304 and in the Douau-
mont and Woevre regions continued
all day without slackening.

Rev T. F. Paris of Des Moines to
Come to Christian Church.

Formal call has been extended by
the Christian church OF O3kaloosa to
Rev. T. F. Paris of Des Moines upon
terms made by the minister. The Ne.
gotiations between the church board
of the Christian church and the min
lister have been pending, practically
since the first of the year, and the
hoard deemed it advisable to place the
matter before the congregation. This
vote was taken Sunday, April Is, and
under the circumstances the house
was filed with large congregation.
When the congregation was asked
to express their sentiment the congre
cation, almost to a person, arose, in
dicating their favor for calling the
minister. The expression was spon-
taneous and practically unanimous
Rev. Paris is at present in charge of
the Capitol Hill Congregation at Des
Moines. He hopes to have release from
the place and to be with Oskaloosa

Rev. Paris is not unknown in Oska-

last Eyangelistic effort enlisted by the

in the Des Moines pulpit has been of
highly satisfactory character and he
is popular among all people with
whom he has been associated.
