8 GERMANS KILLED
BY Trench APOSTLE
R. c. Norton, Evangelist. Relates
Interesting Story of Belgian.

Washington churchgoers today will
have two chances to hear Of the work
accomplished by the $50 Trench
Apostles" in lectures on Belgium by
the founders Of this band Of workers
Mr.. and Mrs. Ralph C. Norton. who
formerly served on the stan OF Or.
Wilbur Chapman in his evanselistic
tour OF England, will tell the story of
his work in the Fourth Presbyterian
Church at Thirteenth and Fairmont
streets northwest tomorrow morning
at IL o'clock. In the evening at S
o'clock they will appear in the Cen
trail Presbyterian Church at Sixteenth
and Irving streets.
To illustrate the work done by this
class OF men, the following story is
cited by Mr.. Norton.
The King of Belgium was showing
the King Of England through the Bel
gian trenches one day.
King Albert beckoned a soldier in
the uniform OF corporal TO hi'
side. 1.-THE Chevalier Maurice Bo-
gaert," said the King of Belgium. in
Producing the corporal.
The Chevalier Bogaert wore upon
the lapel of his uniform the deCora-
tton of del Ordre De Leopold. ."
The King OF Belgium went on to tell
how Corp. Bogaert won his medal.
He was in command of a patrol
intrusted with a very serious duty
one night. and after the two men
who had accompanied him had been
shot down, Corp. Bogaert himself ad-
vanced to the trench in which there
were seven German soldiers and one
officer. The corporal shot down with
revolver all the seven privates
and after terrific hand-to-hand
struggle with the officer, he ended
the latter's life by striking him over
the head with the butt of his gun.
Highly as he prizes his splendid
decoration, Corp. Bogaert prizes still
more the Pearl of Great Price"
and he yields his allegiance not only
to the King of Belgium, but TO the
King of Kings. for he is one of the
500 Trench Apostles"

At a complimentary dinner last
night at the Hotel Lafayette. a move
ment was launched for a canvass next
week to raise $4,000 as this city's
contribution to the Y. NJ. C. AS s35.-
10000 war work on the battle front.
1t was an enthusiastic affair from
start to finish. To show that his
heart was in the right place, as he
put it, William E. Fowler, a real
estate dealer, planked down a $1,000
subscription to the fund without bat
ting an eye. Several others gave lib
orally and others volunteered to head
teams to visit business men next Mon
day and start an energetic campaign
for Washington's quota of the huge
amount to be raised.

Otis Smith. John Poole, John C. Let's.

the Y. NJ. c. A. in behalf of the SOL
diers and sailors OF America and her
allies
MIR. Thorn, the toastmaster, in intro
ducing the speaker, said the principal
effect of this war work was its infiu-
ence on the morale Of allied nations.
Mr.. Aver sounded the keynote Of
his address when he said that "at
stake in this war is the greatest issue
for which men have laid down their
lives"
THE financial gravity OF the world
having shifted to the United States"
he said, i" it was only in keeping with
the sacrifices made by our soldiers
that men OF wealth should respond
literally for their comfort and well
fare"
He described in detail the work
being carried on by the Y. NJ. c. A
on the battle fronts, and related
incidents that illustrate how prison.
ers through its efforts were permit
ted to obtain books and educational
facilities at the war camps of all
the warning nations. which had the
effect of keeping their minds occu-
pied and minimized the danger OF
insanity.
Other speakers were Sergt Mai
Mcfarland, of the British army. who
praised the efforts of the Y. NJ. c. A.
on the battle fronts, and NJ Masa-
toni. of Tokyo, Japan. who came
mere just before the American de-
claration Of war last spring as a
delegate from the japanese Y. NJ.
