the atrocities that have been perpe

the central powers were not to be
blamed for these acts for every SOL
der knows but one duty and that is to
obey orders. In sinking neutral YES

for they are but carrying out the Or

choir of the Methodist church Sunday
night was worthy OF the immense au-
dience that attended the service. ale
performers all did exceptionally we'll
and furnished one of the best enter

for many years. No doubt the large
number of people attending expect

fame had preceded him. Nothing but
words of praise have been heard Of
his efforts since the cantata was rem
dered. He certainly has wonderful
voice and shows very high state of

compliments for her artistic work. We
