CHURCH COLLEGES
FOR BEST RESULTS
President Of Grand Island College
Says Biggest Men Come from
Smaller Schools.
FEATURE CHARACTER BUILDING

"Sixty-five per cent of the chan
cellors and presidents OF great instl-
tutions of learning are products of
the smaller denominational colleges.
"All the presidents Of the United
States from Hayes to Wilson have
received their educations in church
colleges or colleges founded by
churches. such Yale, Harvard and
Princeton.
"A few years ago seven OF the
nine United States supreme court
justices were graduates of small
denominational colleges
These statements we're made by
Rev. George w. Taft. president Of
Grand Island college. in his sermon
yesterday morning at Emmanuel Bap-
tist church. He was answering the
question: why should we support
a small UNCONVENTIONAL college, when
our children can go to the great
state university or to any of a num-
ber of other well-established col
legsf"
The non-church. colleges and univer-
stiles give just as good instruction as
the church colleges he said, but the
church colleges lay stress on another
factor, namely, Christian character-build-
ing. Mere learning without character
is a poor thing. And this is why the
graduates of the smaller UNCONVENTIONAL
schools loom so large on the horizon OF
learning and accomplishment.
Leaders from Small Colleges.
The remarkable showing of small col
leges holds even in the field OF politics
and statesmanship. Take the leading
figures In the two great political parties.
Charles Evans Hughes s. without
doubt, the biggest figures in the republi-
can party today, the man whom more
republicans want to see president than
any other man. 1 knew his father, Dr.
Hughes, for years. He was one OF the
foremost Baptists and Charles Evans
Hughes got his education IN Colgate
and Brown universities. He was the best
governor we ever had back in New
York. And today in the south there are
thousands OF democrats who would vote

Mexican moonlight toward the rough
mountain slopes where IL is known
Pancho Villa already has preceded
them with more than 100 miles

Warning that this second act in the

frankly TO the American press, would be

Brought In on stretchers.
There was brief excitement Saturday at
Columbus from across the hot. dusty
Mexican border, two soldiers on stretch

cavRlrymen. The excitement passed
when II was learned that one had been
thrown from his horse. injuring his leg.
while the other. who at first was said
to have. been shot in the abdomen, was
found to be suffering from a well-known

When Washington announced that the

The German offensive in the Yer
dun region, now nearing the end of
it's fourth week, has again slack
ened decidedly, both Paris and Ber-
Lln reporting the continued absence
of infantry operations by either side.
The big guns here and there along
the front in the vicinity of the fort
ress, are intermittently pounding OPP
position positions, but the chief ac-
tivity Just at present seems to be by
the airmen.
Numerous raids by French avia-
tors are reported by the Paris war
office, the points bombarded includ-
ing the railway stations of Conflans
and Metz. The showers Of heavy
shells dropped are declared to have
been effective in causing numerous
explosions and fires.
Little Activity I'm Russia.
Elsewhere on the western front artil-
lery is the only military arm that has
been busily occupied and even this has
not displayed more than ordinary activ-
itc In. Russia there has been only spo-
radio fighting, although there are signs
OF preparations for movements of prob
able Importance. particularly along the
northern end of the line.
The Austrians have turned on the ltal-
ians along the 1sonzo, where the initia-
tive has recently been for the most part
with General Cadorna's force. Vienna
announces a successful attack north OF
the Tolmino bridgehead, in which italian
positions were captured together with
nearly five hundred prisoners and three
machine guns.

Be Followed, Plan.

LONDON. Dec. 5.-Premier Asquith
announced in the house OF commons
this afternoon that King George had

gested 4 longer adjournment than to

ton, Mr. Asquith said:
81 desire to make IL perfectly plain
to the house and to the country that
whatever reconstruction Of the cabire ct
takes place IL involves no departure

announced and pursued since the be-
ginning of the war If anyone en-
courages or entertains the idea that
there is any question of "A change OF

APPROPRIATION OF
S45,000 DOUBTED
Postal Officials Have Received
No Confirmation of Wash
ington Report.

Announcement that $4,000 more
had been added to the appropriation
for the construction OF the Tulsa fed
eral building was not taken seriously
by several Of the executives of the post
office when informed that word had
been received from Washington, ID. G.,
that this sum had been placed to the
credit of the Tulsa building fund by
the trcasurary department.
When the original appropriation
for the Tulsa building was made, 1t
carried a sum Of $4,000 but later
this was decreased by Secretary Nc
Adoo Of the treasury to SlSS,000 be-
cause, as he declared, city the size
Of Tulsa did not need a building as
large as that which could be erected
for the full sum of $4,000.
The announcement of yesterday that
s45, coo more had been placed to the
credit Of the fund came as a complete
surprise to Postmaster j. NJ. Crutch-
field and Ralph Johnston, assistant
postmater. declared last night that he
could see no reason why the sum men
toned in yesterdays report should
be appropriated, as the building now
being erected would not cost anywhere
in the neighborhood of the original
appropriation, the building bid having
been let for the smaller sum OF S1SS,-
600 There must be some mistake
somewhere" he declared.
