REV. EBERSOLE
resigns TO WORK
IN PRISON CAMPS
Associate Pastor of Central
Union Called BY Y. M. C. A.
For Service in Europe,

To accept an appointment from the
international Y M. c. A. as worker
in the prison camps of Europe, Rev.
Amos A. Ebersole has resigned as
associate pastor of Central Union
church. The board of trustees of the
church has recommended to the
church body that the resignation be
accepted
The character of the noteworthy
religious and humanitarian work in
which Mr.. Ebersole has been asked
to assist is fully explained in his
resignation, and it is understood that
the fact of his leaving the church
was brought about through the high
ideals which he holds of his duty to
mankind
An excerpt from the letter sent Mr.
Ebersole by the international associa-
ton gives an idea of the nature of
his new work: . ~--
THE general plan of work is to
erect in prisoner of war camp suit
able temporary building which will
become the center for various social
activities, for extensive educational
work, for religious meetings and Bible
classes, for library and reading
room, for a choir and orchestras. Ac-
cording to local conditions the plan
of work is more or less modified, but
this is in general what we try to
accomplish" IL. 49,. III.
A business meeting of the church
will be held within the next two
weeks, at which NJ. Ebersole's resig-
nation probably will be accepted. He
will leave for the East as soon as
he can arrange his local affairs. His
family probably will remain in Homo
lulu
Prior to coming to Honolulu, Mr.
Ebersole saw considerable service
with mainland associations. His first
sermon in Honolulu was preached on
July 90, 1908. He became associate
pastor of Central Union in January,
1912. ~. -.

MILITIAMEN RUSHED TO BORDER IN
NO CONDITION FOR ACTIVE SERVICE
Former Oahu Officer Writing to Friend Here Tells of Mex-
cans and ''Watchfu Waiting"-SN Months Would Make
Good Troops of Guardsmen

Thousands OF militiamen who were
rushed to the Texas border arrived in
no condition TO fight
They were eager in spirit but had
neither the physical nor military train
ing 70 make them ready for business
And the regular army-welI, it
wants to get INTO Mexico but is
stopped by the 4watchful waiting
policy.
This and more is told in a frank
letter from a former Oahu army Of
ficer written somewhere in Texas"
and sent to a Honolulu businessman
and sportsman. 1t appears that the
only shooting in prospect for the army
officer is that OF quail, rabbits and
such small truck.
He writes:
Pardon paper and pencil but |
am on outpost and no other kind Is
available. Just across the river but
few rods away Is the Mexican out
post. We are almost within speaking
distance could yell at them and as
we watch each other across the river
/ think that IL his trigger finger itches
any worse than mine he had better
scratch it. They are a mongrel look
ing lot.
We have nearly 10000 troops here
now and If they would only let us go
we would settle this business in fine
shape. None OF us relish the pros
poets of several years more of watch
full waiting, and you wouldn't blame
us II you could see how we live, and
the poor militia-you should hear

mighty few of them were in any con-
dition when they arrived. Give us six
months more and we'll make good
troops of them, but they are already
demanding to 90 home. ...-... H..
We'll, guess we can stand tits

sation in the fact that | viii have
some fun this fall hunting, as rabbits
and quail are here by the million. Will
have TO go about 30 miles for deer
and pig but there are no end Of quail

About the quail, have found a man
who can catch and send you all yoT
want for about so cents a pair and 1t
was for this reason that am drop

forms me he has often had as many
as four dozen in his traps in night
and if you want them will rig up to

ship them out of state if for stocking
or breeding purposes but not for mar

Your ChiIdren's Eyes

Parents should give. early attention
to their children's eyes. The sign of
defects of vision in children are not
perhaps very pronounced, but they are
readily recognizable; and in the inter.
ests of the little ones future, they
should receive immediate attention.
A child does not know what its Wis.
ion should be, and cannot be expected
to realize that its eyes are detected.
1t becomes then the moral duty of
those who have the care of children to
ascertain whether their sight is as it
should be.
Backwardness in study especially
should be taken as hints of possible
eye trouble, while even the clever
scholar who frowns or suffers from
frequent headaches, may be suffering
from eyestrain.
The only way to be absolutely sure
of your children IS eyes is thorough ex-
animation by one who has made chill
dren's eyes study, and one who has
successfully treated defective eyesight
in children.
I have successfully treated and re.
lieved ovestrain for thousands of chill.
dren and have made this particular
study. | do not recommend the use
of glasses where glasses are not needed.

aminations MS they are dangerous. My
