REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON RESOLUTIONS, ON DEATH
 OF DIR. R. L. HINTON
To the Superintendent and Members of the Methodist Sunday School Prescott. Arkansas:

To the Superintendent and Members
 of the Methodist Sunday ScAool
 Prescott, Arkansas:
 We, your committee appointed to draft and present appropriate resolu- tons on the death of our beloved Dr. R. L. Hinton, for so long valuable, highly honored and respected member of our Sunday School, are impressed, as we approach this duty, with our inability to adequately express the value to our Sunday School of his life and character. Uppermost in our minds and hearts is the sweet in- tian character about which number less resolutions could be formed, each suggestive of something helpful. Should we attempt to form these reso- lutions, our report would be extended to an inappropriate length. He was so constant in attendance and his presence and suggestions were so universally helpful that his vacant place among us is fact lamentable indeed. Therefore. whereas, He who rules and reigns among us and who doeth all things we'll has seen fit in his wisdom to take Dr. Hinton from us, be it
 Resolved, that in the death of Dr. R. L. Hinton, the Prescott Methodist Sunday School has lost most valu- able member and an able counselor and his loss is to each of us a source of profound sorrow.
 Resolved, that by his example of falthfulness, regular attendance at Sunday School and the performance Of Christian duty generally, for so many years and to such an advanced age, his life is a great lesson and a conspicuous example of the value of the adult member, discrediting the Idea among some that the Sunday School is primarily for the young.
 Resolved, that we make use of his example as means of strengthening and broadening our influence as an Institution of the church and in en- listing the membership and support Of the business and professional men of the community.
 Resolved, that this report on being adopted by this Sunday School, be published in local papers and that copies properly attested be furnished surviving members of Dr. Hinton's family.

Our big infant territory-Alaska-
is getting so very big that it requires
constant attention from the federal
government.
Because Alaska is ceasing to be
frontier" country, and, along the new
goverlfm ent railroad Zine, at least,
settlement is taking place so rapidly
it has become necessary for the pro.
lection of deer, caribou, sheep and
mountain goats.
Female deer and fawns are to be
protected by extending the closed
season until August /, 1918, until
which time all killing is prohibited.
The same regulation applies to noun
tain goats, and moose in southeastern
Alaska. The prohibition extends to
all deer on a number of the islands
on the southern coast.
These regulations are issued on the
recommendation of the governor of
Alaska, and the biological survey of
the agricultural department. and arc
to prevent these game animals from
being exterminated.

last big game country shall not be

Alaska is a great game country
and with proper regulations and re.
strlctions on killing, should furnish
opportunities for hunting, trapping,
and camping for thousands of Ameri.
cans in years to come.

GONE DOWN

The gross tonnage of the worlds
shipping at the beginning of the war
was approximately 100000 tons.
During the % months of war, $685.
SIS tons of shipping has been sent
to the bottom.
Thus, about 7 per cent.,in gross
tons, of the merchant navies of the
world, has been destroyed. But the
loss in dollars and cents is even
greater, for the ships destroyed we're,
in the majority of cases, the costliest
and most modern of the merchant
vessels of the nations at war. Ninety
per cent. of the total losses were
ships of the entente allies. Norway
is the heaviest loser among the neu-
trails. Holland second, Sweden third,
and the United States sixth.

GHOSTS OF PEACE

Peace is the most interesting sub.
ject in all Germany today as shown
by the newspapers that manage to
reach this country from the empire
Most Of the papers couple victory
with peace but peace is the stronger
note. The following curious but in
teresting allegory is from Zukunft, by
Herr Moritz Scheyer:
One evening l lay, wearied, but
in my room. A figure entered. 1t
had come without opening the locked
door and sat down beside me on nv
couch.
It's features were regular, but lack.
ed expression; just face. It's eyes
showed no color; just eyes. But
they seemed to contain rare power.
When felt those eyes fixed upon me
l was unable to move; all strength
and capacity of my being disappear
ed. First went the most treasured,
most soulful power of my life.
Thought
"WIho art thou?" I asked the figure
on ny couch. art thou Death?"
The figure remained mute. felt my
will-power slip from me.
who art thou?" | asked again,
"Art thou Care?'
Again no answer. All capacity for
joy withdrew from my person, into
space.
art thou Disenchantment?

The ruthless expansionists" are
much the enemies of Germany as are
the allies, according to the Berliner
Volkszeitung, which says:
simultaneously with the presenta-
ton of memorial to the reichstag
in favor of speedy peace, the lead
ers Of the social democratic party
will address to the masses of the Ger
nan nation an appeal for signatures
10 a monster petition to the imperial
chancellor with the same object.
This petition, while opposing a
peace at any price, or one that should
reduce our nation to the position Of
a satellite of the great foreign pow
ers, demands peace, as soon as the
enemy may be willing, based on three
main principles:
1--Inviolabilty OF the empires ter.
ritory.
2-Preservation OF political indie.
pendence.
3-Freedom OF commercial le'elop-
ment.
This is as it should be. The Ger
man worker must defend the empire
against attempts at violation. He
does not inted to allow his rights to
be violated, nor does he wish to VIC
late the rights Of others. Therefore
he cannot, and will not, consent to
any policy Of conquest either on the
part of the adversary or ON that Of
the ruthless expansionists in Ger
many. ..~...
But the word peace has its humor
even in Germany. The following
clipping is from Taegliche Rund-
schau.
A funny story was told us by one
Of our staff who was strolling through
one Of our Berlin summer gardens.
There, on bench, was seated a
soldier on leave from the front. and
beside him his proud and happy wife
two hearts beating as one.
Suddenly, however, thunderclouds

monial sky Is + = =, 4
and a furious quarrel arose between
the two. She held that now that he
had come home she was entitled to
be taken out of an evening; he, on the
other hand, maintained that he had
not been granted leave to take his
wife to the theatre or to concerts or
cafes.
More and more forcible grew the
epithets they hurled at each other un-
til, springing up violently, he shouted
in tone Of relief:
"Well, thank God, few days more
and | must return to the front.
There, at any rate, man can find
peace!"
