WILL HOLD Y. N. {. A.
 MEETING TOMORROW


 MT. J. T. Almand of Little Rock will be in Malvern tomorrow to present to our people the needs of the War Y. M c: A. work. He will speak at the Methodist church at three o'clock in the afternoon, and at the Baptist church a 8 o'clock in the evening. It is strange that it is necessary to make an appeal to the fathers and mothers of our city for this work. For above and beyond the anxiety for the physi- cal welfare of the young men who are called to the front, there should be the deepest concern for their spiritual vel fare. Go course there are Chaplains in the army, but the soldier never thinks of his need of the Chaplain un- til he is wounded.
 The Y. M. c. A. has Hs buildings at each cantonment and the soldier is made welcome in such way as to get a grip on his heart. He finds there wholesome literature, paper, pen and ink, encourageing him to write home, and above all, the Gospel presented to him day in and day out, in quite, un- obtrusive way that wins, or as one of the soldiers on the border expressed it, after enumerating all the other privileges and blessings he secured through the Y. M. C. A. "It hands out religion to man in doses he can take. ,
 The evils that assail young man in the army camp, the temptations to allure him from the right path are many and are IRRESISTIBLE to the young man who is not properly safe guarded. Excepting the Ghaplains, the only Christian influence thrown around these boys is the work done by the Y. M. c. A. This organization is the representative of all the Chris tian denominations, and does a work which they cannot do. It behooves us therefore not only to encourage this work, but to give to the limit of our ability for it's support. Neither Home Missions nor Foreign Missions nor any other benevolent cause appeals so strongly to us as this work of the Y. M c. A. for our own boys.
 Let every father and every mother in Malvern be present at the meetings tomorrow and prepare to give some thing to this worthy cause.

SNEAK THIEF MAKES
 SUCCESSFUL RAID

Malvern was visited by a sneak thief Friday night who visited three residents, and made a successful get away with two watches, and $17.50 in coin of the realm.
 At about 2 a. m. the residence of Herbert Powers on Dyer street, was entered, thief unlatching the screen at the back door. At the Powers home he ransacked the pockets of Mir. Powers trousers, which were lying on chair beside the bed He secured $11.90, and silver watch for his trou- ble. Miss Olive Murphy, sister-in-law of MT. Powers who resides with the family was awakened, but thinking it was some of the family, did not give the alarm, until the buglar was gone. The family was then awakened, but no trace of him could be found.
 The next victim of the rambler's wanderings, was Kobt. Hill who lives in the Phillips addition, on the east side. Here he did not enter the house but raised the front screen, and help ed himself to the contents of the trou- CT pockets of Mr. Hill, which had been left on chair close to the window. He was rewarded here by securing $5.50 in money and a perfectly good gold watch None of the family was awakened, until he attempted the same thing at the home of Joe Mason, next door. Here he raised the front window, and was trying to reach MT. Mason's trousers by aid of a long stick, when members of the family stick, when members of the family were awakened, and gave the alarm, which frightened him away The Hill family was also awakened and discovered that they had been robbed.
 No evidence as to the robber has been secured by the officers, and it is not known whether he is white or black.

 2. Do pleasures and riches bring permanent satisfaction? Did Solo, mon give the experiment full trial ? How only may man enjoy the good things of the earth and find happiness therein Chapter 2.
 3. In what poetic way does Solo mon show that God arranges even the minutest details of mans life? What does he say about the presence of wickedness and injustice in the world ? Why does God allow it? What is mans duty, or what is the wisest course for man to persue? Chapter 3
 4. What strict rules does Solomon lay down for religious exercises? Oh. I5. Does the pursuit and possession of wealth bring real satisfaction? What is the doom of the eovetous man From whom do the good things of the world come? Should we accept them as mere means of pleasure; or with gratitude and use them with modera- tion and prudence, as the gifts of the ] Fathers bounty and expression of His Hove? Chapter 5.

A very interesting lecture was given
in Prescott hall at Good VIII Friday eve
ming by w. B. Kendall. Mr. Kendall
owns more sheep than any other man in
Maine and is also president OF the Saga
dahoc Fertilizer Co. one OF the largest
fertilizer companies AZ the present time
The subject OF his talk was Elijah kel-
logg." A great many Of Mr. kellogg's
works are in the Good VIII library and
Mr.. Kendall told something Of the life OF
the man who wrote so many good books.
He also spoke for very few minutes
about sheep.
Preceding his lecture the Good VIII as
sembly sang Good VIII Must Shine To-
night and the Loyalty Song" Three
of Mr. Kellogg's selections were read BY
Good Will students They were: SPAR
tacus to the Roman Gadlators VIM
Corcoran: HANNIBAL at the Altar Miss

connoitering parties-those little for
avs that always render the Germans
anxious as to coming events and tend
to get on their nerves.
Haie Probably Smelling Germans
Doubtless, using former history as a
guide, Haig again is heavily pounding
the German positions with rain Of
shells, levellng them and making more
easy the pathway for his troops again
to snatch points Of strategic value to
him.
Between the Tower Hamlets and the
Polygon Wood apd along the Ypres-
MeHin road, however, the Germans
have made several strong attacks.
The latter region they were success
full in forcing a British advance post
to evacuate its holdings, but later I'M
der a counter attack were compelled
TO withdraw, not alone losing the po-
sition but also a number of men and
machine guns.
Meanwhile with the French and Ger
mans still engaged in the usual artil-
lery battles along the southern front
in France, the Italians have started
another big offensive against the Aus
trians on the Isonzo front, where for a
fortnight virtual quietude has pre-
vailed.
On the Bainsizza plateau height posi-
tions have been stormed and taken by
Gen. Cadopha's forces and prisoers cap
tured BY their new successes the 1tal-
fans have brought their line almost to the
bridgehead of the Chiapovano river near
Podlaca and Madoni, which also gives
them possession of almost all the south
ca stern portion Of the plateau.
Austrian Counters FruitIess
The Austrians. realizing the strategic
value of the gains. have delivered ex-
tremely heavy counter attacks against
the Italians, but all to no purpose. Like
wise fruitless have been attempts to dis
lodge the Italians from the southern
slopes of Monte San Gabriel.
Daily the Italian continue their aerial
bombardments of Austrian positions with
large quantities Of explosives. The great
fortress OF Pola again has received WIS.,
itation and enemy depots at Berie, near
Nabresina northeast Of Triest on the
Gulf Of Triest, have been bombed.
Keeping up their almost nightly attacks
during the past week, German air raiders
again visited the London district and the
Kent and Essex coasts Sunday night. Ev-
erywhere the raiders dropped bombs. 1t
is reported that one of them was brought
down. In the raid Of Saturday night II
persons were killed and So injured In
tensiye air fighting and bomb dropping
expeditions also continue in Belgium and
northern France.
A stronger hold has been obtained by
the British on Bagdad through the cap
ture Of the main Ottoman position in tho
region Of Remadie. The Ottoman gen
eral. Ahmed Bey, his staff and several
thousand men were taken prisoner and
large quantity Of guns and ammuni-
ton was captured.

matter to be taken up for cOnsidera-
ton was whether the members would
unite with the other two clubs for
the season and in SO doing hold joint
meetings with the other organizations
and furnish but two programs for the
winter. The vote was in favor Of the
change. The club members are doing
this in order to have more time to
devote to Red Cross work.
w. +. and d. a. Porter, who have
been engaged in the grist mill bust
ness here for about 10 years, have
sold out to the Oscar Holway Co.,
wholesale grain dealers of Auburn. The
local plant will be known in the flu
ture as the Somerset Grain Co. with
Harry Burgess of Norridgewock as
manager. The new firm takes posses
sion this morning. The same en-
ployes will be retained and the pur-
chase included the Porter teams.
Supreme judicial court adjourned on
Saturday noon to reconvene at II
o'clock this forenoon. The case of

was in progress of trial during the
| forenoon, action having been brought

proper spirit and fought hard and fast
from whistle to whistle. Skowhegan

The game was too one-sided TO show
where the victors were strongest or
to reveal their weak spots. The line
charged aggressively on both offense

siashing game all the time. George
Martin was a particularly powerful
ground gairer and Capt Redmond was
also very effective in this department.

artillery fighting on the Belgian coast
and along the northern end OF the west
ern front is reported in todays official
communication. The British undertook
accommodating expeditions at many
points. The statement follows:
Western front: The visibility being
poor, the activity of all o UT armies was
less than recent days. Flanders artillery
duel was severe on the coast and in the
evening from the User as far as the Com
ines-Ypres canal. Advancing British re-
connoitering parties were repulsed at
many points.
Before Verdun there was only moder-
ate activity apart from a temporary in
crease in the firing.
Eastern front: There were no large
military operations.
Macedonian front: Between Lake Och

rily in driving in one Of our advanced
posts. An immediate counter attack
recaptured the post, together with Q
number of prisoners and machine
guns.
& Later in the morning an attempt to
repel this attack was broken up by our
artillery.
THE enemy ratded our trenches
early in the morning east Of Loos and
captured one Of our garrison. As the
raiders were attempting to withdraw
across No Mans Land. they were pur-
sued and attacked. A number Of the
enemy were killed and taken prison
ers. The hostile artillery was active
today along our front between the
Ypres Confines canal and Zonnebeke
and In tho Newport sector. Our own
artillery activity on the battle front
