FAMILY SUNDAY AT
 NEWFIELD CHURCH


 The Newfe1d M. E. church will ob- serve next Sunday morning as Family Church Sunday. It is the aim of the pastor to have as many families as possible in attendance at the devo- tions.
 This invitation includes all members of the Sunday school and congrega- ton. The pastors sermon will en- phasize the importance of family life and child welfare. Next Sunday evening, Rev. John Callahan, superintendent of Hadley Rescue Hall. Bowery, New York city, will tell the story of his life, From Bar Room to Pulpit" MT. Callahan has a thrilling message. From early boyhood in New York streets, through an experience in western prison, with the ups and downs of such a life, all described with an intense spirit and an undoubted devotion to his Lord since his conversion 25 years ago, these make the opportunity of hearing him one to be improved. MT. Callahan speaks to men at Washington Park Methodist church in the afternoon and at Newf1eld church in the evening at the regular service.

formal announcement today that
President Wilson has approved a
plan for the redisposition of the
American troops in Mexico there was
a plain intimation tonight that. the
Washington government had deter
mined to maintain a military status
quo beyond the border until the Mex
lean de facto government had dem
onstrated it's ability to capture or
crush Villa and his adherents and
prevent repetitions of the Columbus
raid.
In the interim it is understood the
American troops will be so placed as
to safeguard the border towns by vir-
tually policing the area south OF the
line where Gen. Carranza has been
heretofore unable to check bandit
operations.
Secretary Baker announced the ap-
proval of the redisposition plan af-
ter consulting with the president to-
day over a joint report submitted by
Mai. Gen. Funston and Maj. Gen.
Scott, chief of staff, in conference on
the border. The plan was proposed
by Gen. Funston and concurred in by
