day. This action would eliminate from
the prayer directions to ministers to
urge dying person to make his will
declare his assets and liabilities "fol
the better discharge of his conscience
and the quietness of his executor" The
lower house rejected a proposal to ad-
monish clergymen to Earnestly move
such persons as are of ability to be
liberal with the poor" such solicita-
ton, several attorneys who are dele

legal controversy in the courts.
The deputies approved a recommen-

visitation Of the sick rubic directing
that the sick person shall be moved to
make special confession of his sons, if
he feels his conscience troubled with
any material matter, after which the
minister shall assure Of Gods mercy
and forgiveness. The rubic to be in
corporated in the prayer book must be
approved by the house of bishops.
Adopt Prayer for Dead.
The house of deputies adopted for
the first time in the church's history
a prayer for the dead. This action
also is subject to the concurrence of
the bishops. Heretofore, it was said,
such prayer had been confined to the
ritual OF the Roman Catholic church.
Leaders of the convention aid the
changing sentiment is the direct re-
suit of the great toll in Europe. The
prayer book commission also approved
proposals for the office of blessings
for graves and special funeral office
for children. Slight changes also were
made in the sentence of committal in
office for the dead These retain, how
ever, the expression Of hope for gen.
eral resurrection and the second COM

A proposition to include in the pray
er book a service for use at funerals

From three points, the Teutonic al

In the latter region, and on the
eastern Transylvanian front, further

Whether the Rumanians, in their

immense strategic value to the Teu-

French Make Further Gains.
In the region of Verdun, where the
French Tuesday made their speotacu-

northeast Of Verdun, they are still
holding the ground they gained, de-
spite vicious counter attacks. In the
region of Haudremont and Douau-

north of Chenois, the French have
gained further ground. More than
$500 German soldiers have been CAD

Elsewhere along this front, where
the French and British are facing
the Germans in France. little activity
except by the big guns has been
shown.
Likewise, in the ltalo-Austrian the
atre the artillery is doing the greater
part of the work along the entire
line. The northern part of the Carso
plateau is under particularly heavy
bombardment.
Only minor operations have taken
place ON the fronts in Russia and

National politics, local politics,

have held the center of the stage
the past few months.

Is in a state of unrest?
Agitators have the privilege of
going through our country and
saying what they please, where
they please and when they
please.
Satisfied workbench are kept
in a constant state of unrest and
no manufacturer knows what he
can count on from one month to
the next.
Whether the general feeling
of war the world over has
brought on this spirit of lawless-
ness in the United States no man
can tell, but the fact remains
that unless conditions are
changed, capital is going to be
harder and harder to get to in

the man with money will be
afraid to take the chances he
now assumes when he starts a
