The Organ Recital.

The congregation of the Presbyter-
ian church was favored last Sunday
evening with a thirty-minute organ
recital preceding the service.
Mrs. Robert Stanley O'Haver, who
is musician of exceptional merit,
has been the organist for two years
and the mere announcement that she
would give a recital was sufficient to
draw large audience of music lovers.
Of the seven numbers, each gem
in itself and each rendered with a
true Interpretation and artitsic fitness,
we can hardly choose a favorite. One
spoke especially of the rhythmic tune
fulness of the "Gavotte" (Sappinelli-
koff). Another loved the sweeping
chromatic runs which accompanied
the beautiful melody in "Pilgrim's
Song Of Hope" (Batiste). A third
ventured a hope that the stately COR
gan March" Clark may be heard
again. Thus we are assured that the
variety in style of the numbers was
satisfying individually as we'll as to
the audience as a whole.
This recital is the beginning of a
series to be given during the winter.

Big Gins and Equipment Drawn
Across Sinai Mark Great
War Episode
IBy Associated Pressl

ROMANI, Egypt. Unique features
of warfare were developed, according
to military men, in the recent battle
of Romani in which the British defeat
ed the Turks, the invaders losing some
5000 in dead, wounded and prisoners
out of their total of approximately A.
900 men. as has been told in cable adj
vices. The crossing of the Sinai des-
ert with big guns and other war
equipment during the heat of summer
was an unprecedented achievement.
A representative of the Associated
Press, who was permitted to travel
over the entire battle ground after
the conflict, had been told previously
by high military authorities that the
feat could not be accomplished and
that any force sitting along the Suez
canal would be safe from attack
throughout the summer. One ;of the
few dissentients, however, was lieut.
Gen. Sir Archibald Murray, command
er-iR-chief of the British forces in
Egypt. Immediately upon his assamp-
tion of command here last January he
began to prepare for just such an at
tack, and the victory at Romani was
due to his foresight.
Germans Engineer Plans
The Turkish expedition undoubtedly
was engineered by German officers,
who laid elaborate plans for the adj
vance from the direction of FL Arish,
a Turkish post on the northern coast.
80 miles from the canal About half
this distance Is through waterless
desert and at this time of year the
heat is intolerable 1t would be inn
possible for men to march for in these
sands one sinks to the ankles at every
step, and horses are not fitted for
work of this kind The only means
of transporting troops and supplies
was on eamels and this was the meth
cd employed. About $4,000 of these
beasts were used.
Unable to drag the heavy gun car
riages through the loose, deep sands,
the Turks constructed roads by dig
ging small parallel trenches which
would fit the carriage wheels, and
filling these tracks with the serubby
plants which represented the only
vegetable life outside the cases These
wiry plants formed a. cushion oyel
which sand was thrown, making a
very practicable road for the guns. In
some places where the sand was too
loose and deep for this track planks
were laid Iengthwise under the wheels.
Find British Waiting
Progress was necessarily slow and
long before the Turks reached the
watered positions. which they took up
some miles in front of Romani, the
British were ready and waiting for
them. The defenders did not attack,
for it was the plan to draw the in
vaders on to an assault if possible.
Gen. Murray decided that he would
wait certain length of time and
then force the issue if the Turks had
not advanced. 1t seemed almost like

tics the work of these institutions up
on the spiritual and moral develop

But through it all our men have shown
a magnificent courage. One cannot

new Employers
LIABILITY Law
IS OBJECTED TO
IBy Associated Prsssl

PANAMA, Canal Zone.-The en-
ployers' liability law which mas passed
the National Assembly and is in tile
hands of the president for signature is
being vigorously opposed by local
business interests and foreign corpora.
tions doing business in the republic.
The latter feel that in event of the
act becoming law it will be applied
unequally and made a means of hold.
ing up the outside corporations. The
opposition of local interests is based
partly on the application of the law
to themselves and partly on their gen.
eral desire to have nothing done 10
discourage the investment or capital.
The most Objectionable feature, ac-
cording to the. opposing employers, is
the provision of halfspay during sick
ness incurred while at work. This is
believed to be capable of infinite
abuse, for the reason that many OF the
laborers lay off a great deal and lie
around their quarters in condltfan
between plain laziness and sort OF
sickness which is the result or nook
worm and lack of proper nourish-
ment. About 20 per cent of the people
have the hookworm, according to the
reports of the Rockefeller Foundation,
and in some districts over half of the
people are chemically infected with
malarial fever.
Another prime objection to the law
lies in the procedure outlined for it's
application. This requires that funds
be deposited in the national treasury
to guarantee the payment of liabili.
ties, or that every employe be insured
in an insurance company for the pur-
pose to be organized in Panama. The
foreign corporations profess to believe
that the funds they put up will be
stolen, and they do not think an in
surance company could be handled
economically or even safely, SO that
they would be liable to lose all that
they invested with one
The corporations contend that the
law, while excellent in many respects,
is too far ahead of the economic and
sanitary developments of Panama.
They claim it has been adopted from.
laws recently enacted in highly de.
veloped countries and is not apple.
