ARRIVES AT ZION.
DR.. A. Bach, Descendant of Famous
Musician, Becomes Permanent
Resident of Nearby City.


DR.. A. Bach, defendant of the IA
nous German composer, is in Zion
City. Since February 18th he has
been on his way to Zion City from
Hongkong, China, and he has had some
exciting experiences, having been ship
ped out to Australia and held there
for six months as prisoner.
When ten miles from Hongkong at
5 a. m. on the 10th, the British auxili-
airy cruiser, Laurentik, appeared on the
horizon and as she came within gun
shot, three shells were fired over the
bow of the S. S. China ON which Mr..
Bach was bound for America. The
China then dropped anchor and about
twenty British bluejackets boarded the
steamer. All Germans wero ordered up
on board the S. S. st. Adams and put
behind iron bars. They were taken to
Australia and there interned in a
prison camp with about 5000 others.
For six months DR.. Bach and his son
were kept prisoners in the camp. They
were not allowed any literature, not
even Bible, but later Colonel Sands,
who was in charge of the camp, per-
mitted DR.. Bach and his son to read
Leaves of Healing. Colonel Sands said
that he remembered the work Of Dowie
and Voliva and believed that their
literature would not be dangerous.
Largely through the influence Of
Elder Smith Of Melbourne, DR.. Bach
and his son were sent back to Hong
kong and there were given their free
dom. After being for ten months pris-
oners Of war, the father and son once
more set out for America and for Zion
City. They once more boarded the s..
s. China and set sail for San Francisco.
This time they made the trip without
any trouble and they are now safe and
happy in Zion City.
DR.. Bach is doctor of divinity and
also has diploma as a doctor of medi-
cine. For three years he practiced
medicine in China, but since embracing
the Zion teaching he has set medicines
aside and now looks on the Saviour of
the world as the only Healer of ply
steal as well as spiritual ills.
DR.. Bach was in Leipsig when the
skull of the famous composer was dis
covered and cast was made of the
face. In the winter of 1895, he sat
for three days while measurements
were taken of his face, and it was
found that they were almost identical
with that of Bach the musician. Both
Bach the composer and Martin Luther
were born in the same town. They
lived within block or two of each
other in the town of Eisenach, Ger
many.

SAVED man FROM DROWNING
Recognition of Bravery Is Conveyed Ii
Letter Sent to Former Kenosha Min
lister and Medals Will Be Received
In Kenosha Within Short Time.

Bronze hero medals have been voted
to Ralph L. Hubbard, 407 Lake avenue
and Clinton F. Young, "a Washington
street, by the Ralston Purina Hero
Commission for heroism shown by the
two Kenosha boys on July 8, 1915, when
they rescued Edward King, aged sixty,
five years, Kenosha man, from drown
ming in the Kenosha harbOr. At the
time of the incident, Young and Hub.
bard were in a boat nearly a quarter
of a mile from the place where King
fell from the harbor piers into the
water. They heard the cries of the
drowning man and with considerable
presence of mind they shouted to men
on the pier to keep him afoat until
they could reach him. King was thrown
a fish pole and he hung on to it until
the two boys rowed up and with con-
siderable trouble dragged the exhaust
ed man into the boat and took him to
the life saving station. The work of
the boys was received by hearty cheers
from great crowd of people who lined
the piers and watched the rescue.
Many months ago the matter was
taken up with the Ralston commission
at st Louis and the formal applica-
ton for recognition of the act of hero
ism was made by the Rev. Peter Stair,
former pastor of Park Aveue church.
The commission completed it's work of
voting awards on the day after Christ
mas and letter has been sent to Mr..
Stair telling of the reward made for
the Kenosha boys. In the letter

Somewhere in France.

Somewhere in France there are
thousands Of men outstretched in these
great Halls of Pain who are patient in
their suffering, who are accomplishing
in their trial. They have passed, one
by one, along that bleak highway of
disciplined silence; they have faced
the merciless cannon, that ever persist
ent human reaper; they have laid buried
in the earth fighting the crawling rats
in the choking stencil of the trences,
they have borne with sublime fortitude
the pitiless agony of their removal
from the front, until at last they are
within reach Of the aid you and any
who may read can give.
Never in the history Of the world has
there been more vital necessity of
sustained and prolonged generosity
than at present
The first year of this great war has
passed, the second has also marked it's
victims, but it is now that the third is
upon us, with only months of uncer
tainty pointing the way to the end. The
supplies perforce are growing fewer
The original equipments are becoming
exhausted. The linen and the garments
are worn and threadbare.
Those ministering angels, the devot-
ed women of France, have given of
their strength and of their youth so
that with the long strain of the pro-
tracted nursing often the lines in their
faces have changed from look of
bouyant sympathy to one of weary dis
couragement, and yet their work
goes on, week after week, month
after month.
To you who may already have given,
let the thought of these brave women
stimulate you to a renewed spirit of
helpfulness, to you who may not yet
know how, where or what to give, read
this little paper and it will show you
the way, for you can be a Sister of
Mercy, if you will, and remember when
giving means sacrifice, that only then
does it perfume the soul
Somewhere in France you can do
something to help these valiant men
and noble women who need everything
and anything that you may give.
Nothing is too small, nothing is too
large.
So long as this war wages, just so
long will there be suffering to alleviate.
Your gifts will be as welcome as the |
cool hand on a fevered brow
Just to make one man little more |
comfortable in those over-crowded hos |
pitfalls will be something. Hour after
hour as he lies there helpless. he is
thinking, thinking of the mother, the
wife, the little ones, TO whom he must I

den in the home his once strong hands

cal, mental and moral upheaval has
been to this poor lad.

The harvest is so short that some of
the growers will be unable to meet con-

Dodge Brothers Name
New Local Dealer

The growing Importance of Salem as
on automobile center Is indicated by
the close attention given the local field
by Dodge Brothers, who have just made
a change in dealers here. 1t is announc-
ed that Dodge Brothers Motor Car will
be handled exclusively in the future by
n. +. Bonesteele who enjoys a wide
acquaintance and is unusually well
Qualified in other respects to handle a
high grade motor car.
An idea of the popularity of Dodge
Brothers motor car may be gained
from the fact that within % months
after the first car was turned out, the
aggregate sales had exceeded $110,-
100000.
This is a record without precedent in
the motor car industry. 1t is regarded
as a striking testimonial to the high
regard in which the name "Dodge
Brothers, was held by the public even
before they marketed motor ear bear
ing this name. Prior to that time Dodge
Brothers had built the vital parts for
more than a half million other cars,
establishing a reputation for thorough
ness and mechanical skill.
This reputation has been more than
upheld. 1t is said of Dodge brothers in
explanation of their unusual success,
that they spare no money or effort in
building a ear to suit their particular
ideas of thoroughness in manufacture.
What their ideas on this subject mean
to the purchaser of their product may
be imagined from the fact that they
have a staff of more than $50 inspect
Ors who do nothing but check up on
workmanship in the various processes
of manufacture. In addition there are
several uarge departments devoted en-
tirely to similar work, such as the phys
ical and chemical laboratories where
raw and finished materials are subject
ed to tests so thorough as to leave no
doubt of the quality.
1t is significant that the first Dodge
Brothers motor ear ever built was made
up exactly as a., ear is made in the
regular line of production. Ordinarily
the experimental job as the first
car is known, is built of castings be-
cause of the great time and expense in

The reichstag binds Germany to moth
ing. The kaiser s word means nothing
to the rest of the world. Between them
no step toward peace is possible with
out the German people leading it.
Administration officials confidently
believe that the German people will top

see in the kaiser IS repeated expression
of confidence in the loyalty of his sub
jeets to him al admission to weakening
conviction on this very point. Reich,

volved in preparing dies for forgings.
Dodge Brothers, however, decided that
their experimental ear should be like
the car they expected to build, in ev-
cry detail, so that neither they nor the
public might be "fooled. SO they
spent almost a year in making these
dies and preparing otherwise for a
completely manufactured ear. As re-
suit, when the ear was built they knew
what they had and what they and the
public might expect of their product
As a further result this first car, al
though only a experimental job" is
still in daily service on the hardest
runs-experimenting under all sorts of
road conditions-and with a record of
more than 10000 miles behind it. This
is but an illustration of the many
things unique in the history of Dodge
Brothers as manufacturers.

Salem Boy Named
For Second Lieutenant
By President of 0. A. c.
pital Journal Special Service,

Gapital Journal Special Service)
oregon Agricultural College, Cor
wallis, Sept. 10.-Fremont w. Walton
is one of the ten men named by Presi-
dent w. J. Kerr of the Oregon Agricul-
tural college, for commission as sec
ond lieutenant in the regular army. Mr..
Walton is a son of George w. Walton
of 100 North 18th street, Salem, TWEEN
ty one years of age, and a graduate in
agriculture. He was a member of the
Oxford club, was largely self support
ing and was one Of the prominent stu
dents on the campus. He was president
of the Salem club, member of the Y.
NJ. Q. A. advisory board and a captain
in the cadet regiment.
The selection of these men was bas-
ed on scholarship, military proficiency
and qualities of leadership. President
Kerr gave much time to considering
the merits of the available men, since
there is a large number of men who
ranked high in these qualities and who
as cadet officers have showed high
ability.
The right of the college to name
these men for regular army commits
sions on the same conditions as would
govern graduates of West Point comes
through the efficiency and thorough
ness of the military instruction, as in
dicated by the distinguished rank.
This rank was awarded this institu-
tion for the first time at the last an
nual inspection in May.
1t is the policy of the college to main
tain the standard in military work set
last year, and additional courses to
further the military training have been
announced in both the military and
technical departments.
