60 TO SUNDAY SCHOOL
By ERNEST O. SELLERS
Director Of Sunday School COuf1o

SUNDAY SCHOOLS AND THE
WAR.

THERE are tens Of thousands OF
i earnest, professed Christians
! in the trenches of Europe today.
The demands Of governments have
been met by the leading Christian
workers of the countries involved
in this war. The church, the Y. M.
C. A., the Bible societies, in fact
every. organization, is seeking to
meet the extraordinary situation
which now exists.
Evangelism 10 being aooressively
carried on and the field force of
the Young Mems Christian Assocla-
tion, to the best Of its resources, Is
taking advantage Of this opportun-
ty to minister to the bodily and
spiritual needs of the armies Of Eu
rope. Sunday school work such as
we know in America is not known
in Europe, for they do not have
such prominent men identified with
the work, especially on the con-
tinent, nor has the adult division
work made any great headway.
Therefore this movement, as such,
in Europe, is not making much Of
an impression in this world crisis.
It has remained for American
Sunday school leaders to make a
definite contribution. This has
taken the form of a move to fur
nish every soldier in the trenches
with copy Of the New Testament. |
Some leading American Christian
business men have so underwritten
this work as to allow every cent
contributed actually to be expend
ed on the field. In other words |
million nickels collected from the
Sunday school scholars of America /
delivered one million pocket testa-
ments among the soldiers of Eu-
rope.
The war has affected the world S /
Sunday school work SO much so /
that the work in South America ]
and in Moslem lands is now being |
entirely supported and directed by /
the American workers, Mr.. Frank
L. Brown. of New York. the head.

October, 1916, has also been de-
layed until proper time after the

LAST WORD In
LUSITANIA CASE
GERMANY WILL NOT PREPARE
ANOTHER NOTE ACCORDING TO
OFFICIAL INDICATIONS
Americans Think TeutOns Realize
They Have Got Into an Awkward
Position
the United Press Associations.

By the United Press Associations.
BERLIN, Feb. 19.-Germany has
said the last word in the Lusitania
case, and will not prepare another
note, according to strong indications
among officials
Though they are not commenting
for publication on the reports that
Secretary Lansing will not recognize
the Teutons' right to torpedo armed
merchantmen without warning. the
attitude of officials is known to be
that Germany does not believe that
America should interrogate her close
ly about how the new policy is to be
enforced. The methods to be follow
ed are regarded as a naval secret
which Germany considers purely a
military question concerning herself
and her allies.
Officials declare that the Lusitania
case was really closed at the last con-
ference of Bernstorff and Lansing, and
that new warfare plans have nothing
to do with the case

WASHINGTON, Feb 19.-Germany
blundered when she issued her decree
with regard to warfare against mer-
chantmen, and is now trying to find a
way out of her difficulties, according
to interpretations some officials have
placed upon Ackerman's Berlin dis
patches saying that Germany does not
want to be questioned closely regard
ing her methods of pursuing subma-
rine warfare. 1t is thought that the
story constituted a hint that the Teu-
tons realize that they have placed
themselves in an awkward position,

Tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock,
the lid of the 1916 football season Of
the High school will be pried off on

gounds, when the Crimson and Gold
pigskin warriors Of the Franklin
Square institution will face the Naug-
atuck High eleven. In years past

proven to be a worthy foe for the
locals and Judging from their record
this season, should force the home
BOYS to extend themselves to the
limit if victory is to be the reward.
Although the season is starting some
what later than in the past, the boys
have been hard at work for several
weeks preparing for the coming Dat
ties and under the careful coaching
Of Mr.. Brown and Director of Ath-
letics Morehead have rounded into mt
condition to go forth and uphold the
wonderful records made by elevens
representing the school in past sea-
sons. The new coach has made hit
with the boys and his excellent knoWl-
edge Of the new style game has been
grasped by each and every player.
One of the heaviest teams that has
ever represented the Crimson and
Gold will trot out on the field tomor-
row afternoon. While most Of last
years stars are gone, there remains
Hubbard, Skretney and Captain Con-
molly and with these players as nu-
cleus, the season presents bright
prospects. Some of the boys had
experience last season which stood in
their stead this year. making the task
of the coaches and Captain Connolly
somewhat lighter.
Just what the lineup Of the eleven
tomorrow will be has not been de-
termined as yet Little of the open
style Of play is expected to be tried

be saved for the Hartford and New

Hubbard, the scrappy little end Of
last years championship team will
probably do the punting, with Brad

Captain Connolly may also be tried
at punting.
A possible lineup to start tomor7
