BREAK WITH GERMANY IMMENENT
ACCORDING TO WASHINGTON
REPORTS

Reports received since the above article
was dictated, state that the British steam
ship Eagle Point, with one or more Ameri-
cans on board, has been torpedoed with
out warning by submarine, according to
advices received by the State Department
from Consul Frost, at Queenstown. All
on board were saved
Latest Washington advices declare that
it can be stated positively that the Presi-
dent has made up his mind to appear be-
fore Congress, recite the efforts he has

carried on their arms, for while, but
finally purchased knitted shopping bags,
which they found very convenient for
carrying the literature.
They had many interesting expert
ences. The Jews especially bought copies
of the Leaves of Healing containing arti-
cles against swine's flesh, but would
have nothing to do with those containing
references to the second coming of Christ.
Some doctors became very angry when
they read the exposure of vaccination.
One man after having purchased copy
of Leaves of Healing, rushed after them
and demanded his nickel back
During the twenty-six weeks they
were in the Twin Cities, they sold 1926
copies of Leaves Of Healing. They also
gave away 43,279 Messages, 1,941 Theo-
Gratis, and 1876 Leaves of Healing. Eleven
subscriptions to Leaves of Healing were
taken.
These two deaconesses are veterans in
the work, having first entered the field
on May g, 1914 Since that time they
have worked the cities ofSt. Paul, Mime
apolis, Winnipeg (Canada), New Or
leans, Mobile, Montgomery and Nash
vile; also 25 cities and towns in Illinois.
Altogether they have spent 70 weeks in
active field work, selling, in that time, a
total of 39,193 copies of Leaves of Heal
ing, and giving away $780, 1899 Messages,
and 1865 Theocrats, besides many hum
dreds of Leaves of Healing that they
failed to keep track of.
Deaconess Schelhorn says: eve are
thankful to Zion and the General Over
seer for their prayers. l thought I
could not stand the cold, and sent pray
er request to headquarters. I received
wonderful blessing, and stood the work

four Americans, has brought about another
crisis with the German government. Ow-
ing to the fact that the United States has
passed safely through number of crises,
this has failed to cause the excitement
that it would have produced a year ago,
and it is hoped that break with Germany
may again be avoided.
1t is claimed that the President has
reached the place where his patience is at
the point of exhaustion, and that if it is
found that Germany has violated her
pledges, break between the two gOvern-
ments is almost certain However, it ic
necessary to positively establish the fact
that the vessel was torpedoed.
1t is claimed that Ambassador Bern
storff stoutly declares that there is no
basis for the charge, and that he expects
an early and effective denial from his gov
ernment. It is the belief in German
diplomatic circles that the Sussex struck a
mine.
A bronze fragment has been found
among the debris, on board the Sussex,

RUSSIANS HEAVILY ASSAULT Won
HINDENBERG'S LINES

A strong Russian offensive has sudden
ly developed during the past week, along
the Dvinsk-Riga front. Half a million
well equipped Russian troops, under the
direction of General Kuropatkin, are re
ported to have violently assailed Won Hin
denberg's line of defense, along a front
Of IS miles. Reports are conflicting, the
Russians claiming a considerable adj
vance, while Berlin declares that the
enemy was repulScd, with loss Of about
$4,000 men.
1t seems the belief of military critics
that this assault is only the preliminary
skirmish Of big offensive movements, by
both the Germans and Russians, that are
certain to develop, later in the season.
This is not expected to take place, how
ever, until after the spring thaw, and the
ground has had time to become firm
again.
Russian artillery is tuning up along
the whole 800-mile front, while on Sec
tors that have been inactive for MANY
months, there are indications of heavy
infantry clashes within the next few
weeks

certs during the season, and plays on
practically all special occasions. The
boys give their services freely and with
out remuneration. They are to be
highly commended for their earnest and
faithful work in connection with this or
ganization, as they all ply their respec-
tive vocations during the day, and can
only give their evenings to practice and
study.
OVER $4,000 LEAVES OF HEALING

Deaconesses Buhmann and Schelhorn

Minnesota, on March 16, having been
occupied in doing Restoration Work

six weeks. The past winter in Mime

1856 passengers aboard, among them q
Americans, and crew Of fifty. Accord

plosion rocked the vessel A considerable
number were wounded, and several were
hurled violently into the water.
The wireless apparatus was shattered

After the pupil reaches a certain
stage of proficiency, he is put into an
ensemble class, now having about ten
members, and there receives his first
practice in playing with other students.
From here he is passed on to Zion Junior
Band, now consisting of 26 members,
and after a certain period of training
with this organization, graduates into
the Zion Senior Band. The members
are thus lead on, step by step, from the
most elementary work to the highest de-
gree of efficiency.
Although there are a considerable
number of students who are now being
prepared for future service in Zion
Senior Band, there is still room for
more. In order to belong to this organ
ization, however, members must be "all
wool, and yard wide"-men who are
thoroughly efficient, and who can play
their parts effectively alone.
Boys entering this work are not sup
posed to drop out. Many boys when
hearing band playing in the street, or
elsewhere, are fired with an impulse to
join; perhaps they even take few les
sons, but when they find that it takes
constant hard work and practice, their
interest begins to flag. AS in every
thing else, only those who stick to it and
persevere, succeed.
Eight members of the present Zion
Senior Band have been trained "from
the ground up" by Conductor Newcom-
er. He has lately instituted sectional
practice, as we'll as the regular general
ensemble. In this way he can tell just
where each individual player needs to
be strengthened, which is hard propo-
sition when all the members of the band
are playing together.

work. For the last three years it has

JOFFRE ISSUES INSPIRING AD-
DRESS TO VERDUN
DEFENDERS

The Verdun front remains practically
unchanged General Joffre, commander
in-chief Of the French forces, has recent
ly issued the following address to his
soldiers:
E'Soldiers Of the army of Verdun: For
three weeks you have endured the most
formidable attack that the enemy has yet
tried against us. Germany counted upon
the success of this effort, which she
thought would be irresistible, and for
which she concentrated her best troops
and her most powerful artillery.
"She reckoned without you. Night
and day, despite bombardment with
out precedent, you resisted all attacks
and maintained your positions.
"The battle has not yet terminated,
because the Germans have need of a
victory. You will be able to wrest it
from them.
''The country has its eyes upon you.
You will be of those Of whom it will be
said: They barred the road to Verdun
against the Germans.

ZION SENIOR BAND
PROSPECTIVE MEMBERS TAKEN, STEP BY
STEP, THROUGH VARIOUS GRADES OF IN
STRUCTION - PRESENT EFFICIENCY
HIGHEST IN HISTORY OF
ORGANIZATION

A concert was given by Zion Band, in
Shiloh Tabernacle, on Wednesday even
ing, March %, which was especially
good Those present seem unanimous
in the opinion that it was one of the best,
if not the very best, thus far given.
Notwithstanding the fact that the wealth
er was inclement, there was a good at
tendance.
Every part of the program, from
start to finish, was highly commendable.
A special feature was the assistance CIV
en- the band, by the Drum and Bugle
Corps, in their first appearance for the
season. In the march "Semper Fidelis,"
these did fine work, and the combined
volume of music filled the Tabernacle.
One of the most interesting selections
of the evening, was "A Polar Suite"
giving an Interpretation of the weird
music of the EsquimauX. 1t was di-
vided into four sections, the first being
an Interpretation of can Esquimo We'd
ding" carrying with it an air of re-
joicing; the second, the frolics Of Polar
bears at play; the third, can Esquimo
Lullaby" with the weird dirge-like
chant of the mother, and the fourth,
"The Dog Train," with effects among
the traps" representing the crack of
the whip, and the barking of the dogs
as they start on their journey.
The concert was further supplement-
ed by vocal selections and readings.

of Besson instruments, which were pur-

law, and the assurances given him by the
German Government, and compare these
with repeated violations Of what he con
siders American rights within the past
few weeks. Furtherfore, it is his in
tention to recall Ambassador Gerard, and
dismiss Count Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador.
1t is stated that with the President tax
ing this stand, these drastic measures can
be avoided only by the complete abandon
ment by Germany Of her campaign against
merchantmen.

VILLA ELUDES PURsUERS

Nothing special has developed in con-
nection with the Mexican situation. dur
ing the past week. except the fact that
Villa is reported to have escaped the net
which was supposed to have been drawn
around him, and seems to be making his
way rapidly southwark, toward his old
haunts in the Sierra Madre mountains,
and where it is probable he will be able to
maintain a guerrilla warfare for an in
definite period.
The report, issued week ago, that
General Herrera, military governor q
Chihuahua, had renounced Carranza and
taken the field in favor Of Villa, was late"
disproved. This story had been confirmed
by General Bell, and had therefore, passed
the censors without question. Cabinet
members have expressed Indignation that
General Bell should have committed this
error, and rebuked him for permitting the
report to be telegraphed to Ell Paso. AS
a result, the administration has decided to
tighten the censorship Of newspaper dis
patches from the border.
On March %, by vote of 373 to l, the
House Of Representatives passed an army
deficiency bill, carrying $8,60O,OOO, to
cover the cost of the Mexican expedition.
On the same day memorandum was als'
sent to General Carranza, pressing for
an immediate reply to the request for per
mission to use Mexican railways in supply
ing American troops engaged in the pur-
suit of Villa.
Secretary Of War Baker announced on
March 27, that only two of the aeroplanes
sent to Mexico with the American expedi-
tion are now serviceable, and that the war
department had opened negotiations for
the purchase Of additional aerOplanes for
service in Mexico.

chased from London, England, in the
year 1904, at cost of about $4,000.
The Band was first organized in Chi
cago, in the year 1898, the boys at first
furnishing their own instruments. Soon
after, however, they purchased COM
plete set of Conn high pitch instruments.
In 1904 the organization was enlarged,
and the Conn instruments were replaced
by the Besson instruments now in use.
The old band played very prominent
part in the New York Visitation, and
ranked, according to Eastern critics, as
one of the best in the country, in tone
production and quality of music furnish
ed.
Zion Senior Band was reorganized,
under the leadership Of Conductor
Thomas, by the General Overseer, in
1908. It is now under the leadership
of Mr.. P. B. Newcomer, man who has
had about twenty years connection with
musical organizations. There are about
thirty active members, and the average
ability of the Individual players is said,
by competent critics, to be higher than
at any time in it's history.
Besides the regular Instrumentation,
the Zion Band has what is very rare in
organizations of this kind = Saxa-
phone Quartet, consisting of soprano
alto, tenor and baritone saxaphones
This music is especially sweet, and adds
largely to the coloring and variety of the
tone.
Zion boys desiring eventually to be-
come members of Zion Band, can begin
by taking lessons, free of charge, from
either Mr.. P. B. Newcomer or from Mr..
Ralph Wagner, both connected as teach
ers with Zion Conservatory of Music
and Art. Thus, every opportunity is
