TEMPORARY SUFFRAGE
ORGANIZATION FORMED
Mae c. CurtOn Appointed Chairman
Miss Florence Wattles
Speaks.

Mae c. Burton, lis s. limerick St.
was appointed temporary chairman
Of the suffrage organization to be
formed in South Bend as the result
of the meeting held Tuesday after
noon at the high school under the
leadership Of Miss Florence Wattles
a member Of the board of the Indi-
ana Equal Suffrage association. Kate
X. Wilbur. 404 w. jefferson blvd.
was appointed temporary secretary.
Next Monday afternoon there will
be another meeting, when the
permanent organization will be eff
fected and a campaign for member
ship among both men and women
will be begun. Miss Wattles will
return to South Bend from KokomO
70 assist at this meeting. Tuesdays
meeting was attended by % women.
Miss Wattles spoke yesterday on
The Forces That Defeated Suffrage
in New Jersey" She said in part
The forces which defeated suffrage
i'm the east are closely related TO
each other. In combination they
form an aristocracy which opposes
men just as stubbOrnly as IL fights
against women. There is in this
group a cynical element which
doesn't believe in any kind Of democ-
racy. which would take the ballot
away from thousands Of men If it
dared defy the traditions of Amer
lea. There is also the conservative
element in politics which fears the
social legislation proposed by the
women. And most powerful Of all
is the ever-watchful brewery trust.
Together these three elements form
an aristocracy which represents all
that is sinister in America and
which opposes men just as relent-
lessly as il fights against women"

after the creation, a great disturb

has acted upon the world ever since.
That disturbing element was sin.

Rev. ID. VI. Conn ut West

We are 10000 miles from the
devil in South Bend" according to
a statement made by Rev. David NJ.
Conn at Westminster Presbyterian
church last night The paper with
the devil fleeing from the city is ex-
aggerating the case according to the
minister, and the evangelists have
only touched those who are called
"backshders. The minister took
the text of his sermon from the
third chapter Of Paurs epistles.
when he spoke to the Philippi.
Wouldn't it be wonderful
thing" he asked. "if everyone could
say, my aim in life is to know Jesus
Christ. However. the truth Of the
matter is that this is the most Won
derful thing in the universe. and
your aim in life should be to get ac-
quainued with and know Jesus
Christ Many have not cOnsecrated
their life to Christ. therefore they
cannot say like Paul. my aim in life
is 10 get TO know Jesus Christ.
IF the ministers of this city would
throw away their 2x4 programs and
would throw their cut and dried
sermons to the four winds there
would be something doing in this
city tonight. You should knock the
devil out of yourselves and save
yourselves at once. God could do
anything to you tonight. lie could
shake the earth and scare the devil

COWARDLY MAN
PLATE Was Afraid of the Pe0-
pie Says Rev. Guy
L. Black.

my subject deals with trial
and court scene Of 1900 years ago.
said Rev. Guy II. Black last night
al the Lowell Heights NJ. e. church.
Jesus Christ is or trial. betrayed
by Judas for a sum, equal to SIS.
we think that this is a small
sum to ask for ones soul. but many
men betray their souls every day for
less than that. A small sin, a weak
ness. and they are willing to give up
Christ rather than have Christ and
forsake their wickedness.
THE Pharisees had Christ arrest
ed and brought before PLATE for
trial. His enemies were there to
testify against Him. but His disciples
had fled Some hated Him for His
healing. some for His meek and
gentle life. but the strongest accu-
sation fhat they could bring against
them. and the one upon which He
was condemned. was that He was
the Son OF God.
"Plate believed Jesus 10 be inno-
cent. but ne dared not free Him, be-
cause he feared the anger of the
Jewish people. on that account he
ordered water to be brought to him.
and washing his hands, he told the
rabble that he was no longer 20 be
held responsible for the outcome of
the trial. He turned L. the people
and said. What shall do with

There are many ways i'm which
people can do the PLATE act. Some
try TO put off conversion. They try
10 make Christ wait. because they
want TO serve the devil little
longer. Some pretend that they
cannot live the Christian life. They
pretend that they cannot do what
God wants them to do.
In response To the call for con-
verts. one came forward to renew
her allegiance to the church. and
one TO be converted. The latter was
baptised Immediately
There will be a delegation Of 100

LONG-fACED PIETY Is
0UTDATED IN THIS AGE
Things of POCketbOOk Being Put
Ahead of Religion SAYS
Rev. Decker.

"Long-faced piety Is out OF date
in this goth century said Rev. G..
A. Decker in his sermon last night
at the First Baptist church THE
purpose of God isn't to make as give
up all the pleasures Of life. We do
not have 10 go around with long
faces and be extremely pious ali the
time
God came at the fullness Of time.
He always makes things happen at
the right time. He gave the world
the gospel. which is a feast, thing
Of gladness and JOY. not a funeral.
Just exactly as the Greeks
thought of all other people, 50 did
the Jews think of everybody else.
Jesus said 10 them, If you don't
want the gospel. somebody else will
get it Paul went into the temples
of his own people and told them
that inasmuch as they had turned
down the gospel Of Christ, il would
be given TO the gentiles. lie went
among the latter people and multi
tudes took up the teachings Of
Christ
The people OF today have the
opportunity that was given the Jews
and they reject it the same as the
Jews did. There are people who
are ignorant Of the meaning of the
gospel. They think that everything
ought to be eliminated from life If
they are to be Christians. True.
there are some things that will have
10 be eliminated and sin is one Of
them. But sin is something that
must be put out even if il is only
for the purpose Of good citizenship.
Religion is either the most valu-
able thing that can come into a
mans life or it is something that
isn't worthy OF consideration. 1t is
one or the other It must be the
former or il could never have ex-
listed as it has. Men would not have
given their time to it and the great
sums Of money would not have been
spent in spreading it, if it were not
something valuable.
Men are turning their backs on
religion in this day just as they did
H. the time of Jesus. Prosperity
seems to be such a big thing that
everybody bows down before the lit

THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Society

Rustchuk-Rustchuk, the first Bull garian town to suffer at the hands of the new enemy of the Central Powers and their two allies, is described by the National Geographic Society in a ws4 geography bulletin issued re- gently from it's Washington head quarters. The bulfetin says:
 "At Rustchul<, where the Roun1an- ians fired their first guns against their southern ne1gllbors, the Dan ube is two and half miles wide. The Rustchuk or southern shore presents a succession of low hills upon which the railroad junction city of some 40,C00 inhabitants is built. On the Roumanian side the land presents an aspect of marshes, changing without strong deaarkation into the pastor al plain which extends in an unbrok- en line northward to Bucharest, 9 ten-hours trip by carriage in the old days but less than two and a half hours by rail.

STORIES OF THE WAR
Two Men Take 100 Prisoners.

The remarkable feat of two men taking one hundred prisoners was ac- cOmpFshed Q few weeks ago by a French corporal and one of his men.
 The story was told to President Poin-
 care, during one of his recent visits to the SOmne front, when he present. ed Corporal Gout2udier with the first Cross of Legion Of Honor ever award ed to a non commissioned officer in
 this war.
 During an attack launched by the French against tie German positions in the Hem Wood, on the Sonne front. two waves of French infantry passed one behind the other, over the German trenches. Scarcely had the second line of French soldiers gone over, when a furious rifle fire broke out from a hollow on the right flank of the attackers. Corporal Goutau-
 dier, seeing that the firing interfered with the advance, called to one of his men: "Gutllot coqs2e with me-
 Together they crept toward the and sometimes crawling, sometimes fitting silently from tree to tree, they
 gradually approached without being seen. AS is the custom during an advance, the two Frenchmen were armed with grenades and bombs, be- sides their rifles and bayonets. Reach
 Ing the hollow, they SAW that a. com-
 pany of German infantrymen had managed to avDid detection when the attackers went by, and had now emerged to fire on the French as they passed on the left.
 Suddenly a hail of bombs and hand grenadsS descended on the hidden
 Germans, while from behind a tree a voice, that of Corporal Goutaudier, summoned them to Surrender. At once the firing ceased, and throwing down their rifles, the Germans came out of their hiding place. Tn all there were about one hundred of them, in-
 cluding two officers. As they came forth from their dug-out with their hands above their heads, what was their anazement to see only two French "poilus,' who uncernonious- ly herded them together and marched them to the rear. There was no chance 1 to resist because thefr arms had been all thrown away.
 On their way to the rear, the Ger
 mans disclosed that there were still
 number of their comrades left be-
 hind in the shelter, and Corporal Gou- taud1er decided to capture them too. l As soon as the prisoners were in the | hands of the escorts at the rear; Cor | poral Goutaudier and Private Guillot, | his comrade, started back to take the rest of the Germans, but unfortu-
 nately Private Guillot was struck in the chest by bullet and killed. Cor l poral Goutaudier was therefore l obliged to give up all idea of being
 able to capture the remaining Ger mans.
 Besides being the first non -comnis- l stoned officer in an Alpine regiment 1 to receive the: Cross of the Legion o1 1 Honor during the war. Corporal Gou- | taudier, who is a. farmer in ordinary I times. is one of the first to receive

gree tied. That 1t should now come forward and make others, which it is possible to infer are directed against the sovereignty of that nation. was reason enough for the secretary of state to ask Japan as to it's inten- tions. "s~ ts
 Japan. therefore declares that 1t is not endeavoring to promote war. It has no design upon the soil or sov- ereignty of China and according to the reply the demands are not in- tended as such any more than this country has ambitions in a like di- rection against Mexico. Ass the re- suit of the outbreak against Japanese troops in remote districts Japan seeks to preserve peace and to make the relations between the two countries more, secure.
 If such is the case and Japan seeks no more there can be no cause for alarm and 1t is entirely possible in this as in 8 number of other matters the activity of Japan has been gross 1y nnisrepresented. This country knows well how many such false tales have been started and 1t must therefore accept Japan's statement until there is further evidence to the contrary.
