American people No editorial with
adverse criticism OF the German COM

The newspapers generally admitted
that England will fight vigorously

Il is the heart and soul of Germany

The President has for more than

Clergymen representing four differ
ent churches of the city have issued
the following protest TO the closing
order:
I'VE. the undersigned individual rep
resentatives Of our respective denOm-
nations and churches do beg leave TO
address the following publicly 10 the
Board of Health:
"As Christian citizens. we stand
ready at all times 10 observe the laws
OF our city. and to do all we can to
further its welfare and safeguard it's
interests. We stand ready cheerfully
and without hesitation 10 close our
churches II in the judgment Of our
Board of Health such action is neces-
sary i'm order to properly control and
eradicate the contagion Of smallpox
which is now prevalent In certain sec
tions OF the city.
"But we do most vigorously protest
against your action IN opening the sa-
looms Of the city even under certain
conditions after having previously
ordered them closed. We believe the
saloons are far greater source or
contagion than the churches. and that
those who hahituate those resorts are
far more liable to spread disease than
the clean. wholesome people who at
tend our church services.
Furthermore. we respectfully de-
mand Of the Board Of Health that they
take steps today 10 treat all equally
in this matter Of closing and respect

WAR ENRicHEs ICELAND
Natives Building up a Reciprocal
Trade with America.

Iceland was one Of the poorest
countries in the world before the war,
but it has made great wealth during
the past year Most of the fortunes
have been made by merchants export
ing fish, game, wool and hides to Eng
land. Such unprecedented sums have
been deposited in the banks of ReilS-
javik that bankers do not know how to
invest their capital
Iceland has imported great quanti-
ties Of American goods during the
war, but these have come through
other countries. Icelanders now want
direct steamship communication with
the United States to promote recipro-
cal trade Plans have been made fol-
a steamship service between Reikjavik
and Boston, and sailings are expected
soon. Icelandic business interests are
anxious for the appointment of reg
ular salaried United States Consul
Great Britain and France are the only
governments at present represented
in Iceland by salaried Consuls.
