4 GIRLS PLACE In THE CHURCH.
BY Miss Helen Howell.


but it seemed to me that was not
quite necessary as everybody knows
a girl can do most anything she
wants to do.
So it seemed better to me to see
what is expected of us, as girls in
the church, and then find how we
may live up to the standard set for
us.
In 1. Timothy, 4 :12,we read-"Let
no man despise thy youth; but be
thou an example of the believers in
word, in conversation, in love, in
spirit, in faith, in purity"
Isn't that high standard?
l wonder now many of us fully re-
alize what it means? It means that
every girls place is just as big as
the girl. When God writes "oppor-
tunity" on one side of the door, He
wants responsibility" on the other
side, and this responsibility placed
upon us by the standard would seem
too great if we did not remember
that all our blessings, our talents
all come from Christ, and that any
service we can render should be
counted privilege and not duty.
And no doubt we all are given this
big place while we are young so we
can learn the great lesson of Chris
tian service as we learn the other
lessons of life.
When it has been brought to our
minds ALL that Christ means to
womanhood, we feel we are willing
to do anything we can for Him. But
when we are away from these influ-
ences it is so easy to excuse our
selves. So / think the first thing to
do is to resolve to be TRUE. True
to ourselves, true to our church, and
true to Christ.
1t is so easy to deceive ourselves
into thinking it makes no difference
whether or not l go to church, or if
we want to do something we know
we should not, we argue ourselves
into believing we have no influence
on any one. Oh, it's hard to be true
to ones self.
Then the Church.-We have pledg-
ed to attend the services and help in
any way we can. Girls, how many of
us are true to the church? Do we
feel we should attend Sunday school
regularly as day school, and do we
feel under any obligations to stay for
worship?
One boy had enlisted and gone to
the front. Another went to the ia
ther and said he must go. The IA
ther asked if the family had not
done it's duty. The son answered,
I'VE may have done our duty as
family, but what about MY duty?"
What the older members of our
families do for the church does not
lessen OUR duty.
Then we must be true to Christ.
We may try to be true to ourselves,
try to be true to the church, but un-
less we are true to Christ we shall
fail. We can not fill our place in
Christ's Church unless we give Him
first place in our hearts. He has
honored us by giving to US this big
place. Should we fail Him?
cit is great to be young;
1t is greater to be young in Amer
lea,
1t is greatest to be young in Amer
ica and working with Christ"

APPEAL TO SENATORS
Miss Jane Adams and Others Want
Steps Taken to End Euro
pean War.

Representatives Of the Woman's Peace
Party. headed by Miss Jane Adams OF
Chicago, appeared before the Senate Tor
eign relations committee yesterday after
noon and urged that the United states
take steps to bring the European war TO
an end.
Miss Adams told the committee that
all Europe is ready for peace, particu-
larry the belligerent nations. Five Euro
pean neutrals-Holland, Switzerland. Nor
way. Sweden and Denmark-had assured
her, she said, they would participate in
a peace conference Of neutral nations II
called by the United States. and two Of
them promised to call such conference
|if assured that the United States would
attend.
Others in the Delegation.

Eastman Benedict, Mrs. Lucia Ames
Mead and Miss iona Gale addressed the
senators.
introduced by Senator Stone. chairman
Of the committee. as the official peace
disciple of the Senate, Senator John Sharp
Williams Of Mississippi told the peace
advocates that, as instructive as their
addresses had been, they had failed to
convince him that the great body OF
American women believed that peace took
precedence over all national virtues.
He told of asking a Confederate vet
eran at the close of the civil war how
the soldiers had withstood the last
terrible years of that conflict.
The veteran had replied. he said, that
many were sick of fighting and want
ed to retire to their homes. but had
not dared because of having to face
the women on their return.
Will Address Other Committees.
Although the first annual conference
of the Woman's Peace Party came to
a close yesterday. Miss Adams is stay
ing on in the city and will address the
committees on military affairs of both
the House of Representatives and the
Senate tomorrow. She will talk to the
house committee at 1880 o'clock in the
morning in the committee room of the
House, and will address the Senate
committee the same afternoon at $3.50
o'clock in room 226 of the Senate Office

RELIEF FoR THE CONGESTION.

The intimation that has been made
by Lord Robert Cecil that it was
probable arrangements could be made
whereby the allies would sanction the
putting into use of the vessels be-
longing TO belligerent nations which
are now tied up in neutral waters
needs no repetition. Already it has
made its appeal to those who under
stand how much they are needed and
how well they can be made to relieve
the congested transportation facilities,
and from present indications, if ar
engagements can be made which will
be agreed to by all the nations in
volved, it seems probable that the
idea will be carried out, either by the
purchase or the lease Of the idle
steamships
From the price which vessels are
commanding today, and anything in
the shape of a ship that is safe and
able to make any Roadway at all
brings unheard of prices at the pres
ent time, it is apparent that there is
need of more vessels to handle the
commerce between nations. The ton
mage was seriously diminished when
the German and Austrian vessels were
withdrawn at the outbreak of the
war. The other nations did not have
the facilities to make up for the loss
and the handicap has been steadily
felt. The destruction of merchantmen
in the past 81 months has likewise
made a tremendous hole in the carry
ing trade and it is significant in that
connection that the suggestion nov
comes from Great Britain that It IL
willing to sanction a relief measure.
Not only would such an arrange.
ment help the situation as effectively
as a fleet of new vessels, but it would
mean instant relief and such under
present conditions with shipyard.
driven to their limit cannot be gained
in any other way.

Damage in GaIicia.

The total damage caused by the
war to property in the province OF
Calicia is estimated az 100000 600 in
report prepared by the Society Of
Austrian Architects, dealing with
plans for. the rebuilding OF the deS-
troyed towns and villages In Galicia-
The report states that nearly 100000
OF the inhabitants OF the province
have fled to Russia, while $4,000 fam
flies still remaining behind are home
less.
OF 6S9 villages in the war area, I'll
are reported more than half destroy
ed. In the others there Is generally
some war damage, but the proper
ton varies considerably.
Altogether it is estimated that IT,
0CO business premises, private houses
and farm buildings have been COM
pletely destroyed, to which number
must be added about $4,000 public
buildings. Assuming that the cost OF
reconstructing the buildings will av-
erage $1,70O, the total cost Of this sim
gle item in the work of reconstruction
after the war will be about $3.50, 000, 900

ANOTHER MORE FOR DELAY.

1t is an effort in behalf of delay
which is made by Germany in its note
regarding the torpedo attack on the
Sussex and other vessels. The, answer
which is made 70 the United States
communication calls for any further
material for a conclusion upon the
case of the Sussex and suggests that
the matter be referred to The Hague
ain the event that differences of opin-
ion should develop which it has good
reason to believe already exists.
1t is admitted in the reply that there
was a vessel torpedoed in the English
channel the same day as the Sussex
was struck and in the same locality.
It was torpsdoed without warning and
the bow of the vessel was shattered
and, according to the explanation, this
action was taken because the subma-
rine commander had reached the
definite conclusion that it was a war
vessel and, indeed, a mine layer" That
being the character of the ship the
action of the submarine would of
course be justified but there have been
previous instances when vessels have
been torpedoed without justification
SO that conclusions which are arrived
at by German submarine commanders
are by no means infallible.
The description which is given of
the vessel torpedoed does not tally
with the Sussex, which was a typical
channel steamer, and this furnishes
the ground for claiming that it was
not the Sussex, and that whatever
harm befell that vessel was caused by
a mine. This deepens the mystery
only to the extent of determining
whether any English war vessel was
damaged or destroyed in the manner
described by the German note. None
has been reported and if none is miss
ing there can be no question whatever
then surrounding the attack upon the
Sussex, and it ought to require but
little time TO clear up this thin vel
Of doubt.
