SESSION OF
BISHOPS ENDS
College, According to Report, Will Is.
sue Address on War to Church.

Jackson, Tenn, Oct. 27.-The col
lege of Bishops concluded the work in
hand today and adjourned. The SEES
sions were purely executive and were
held behind closed doors. 1t is stated
that present war conditions were Sc
riously and deliberately discussed and
that the policies of President Wilson
were approved and will be commended
to the body of the church. DR.. George
S. Sexton was authorized to receipt
the estate of the late C. W. Blair, a
benevolent layman, who bequeathed to
Cranberry College $4,000. Mr.. Blair
was unmarried and possessed great
wealth, and in addition to the gift of
$4,000 to Cranberry college, he gave
to DR.. Sexton, for the half-million dol
lar church building now in course of
construction in Washington city $780,
900 for a Sunday school room, which
will be known as the Blair Sunday
School room and memorial hall. Mr..
Blair was a non-religius layman, who
was aroused to a religious life by a
sermon delivered by the now deceased
Cranberry in Denver, many
years ago, and the lamented bishop
passed away without knowing of this
particular result of his preaching.
All the visiting bishops departed to
fill other engagements except Bishops
-
Gambler, Mccoy and Murrah, and these
three will preach Sunday morning,
Gambler at the First Methodist
church, Bishop Mccoy at the First
Presbyterian church, and Bishop Muir
rah at the Hays Avenue Methodist
church.

THE INSoLENCE OF GERMANY.

IhE Ot GEhMAN1 I.
That was an apt phrase used by
Secretary McAdoo-"the insolence of
of Germany"-in describing the de-
mand of the Imperial German govern
ment that the United States obey the
German war zone decree and refuse
American citizens and American COM
merce the right to use the highways
Of the sea.
The fact is that i~nsolence and con-
tempt of the American nation and the
American people have marked the at
titude and conduct Of the German i'm
perial government from the begin
ming of the war rvn to this day. 1t
consistently sh 1 a contempt for
the courage and ength of the nation
and its willingness md ability to main
tain its honor and its rights, and a
contemptious disbelief in the integri-
ty and loyalty of the American peo-
pie toward their government and to-
ward themselves.
It was not alone that they insulted
u nations honor by the ruthless
murder Of our citizens on the high
seas, sending to death noncombatant
men and women and children, and by
denying to our commerce rights long

AND THE FARMER.
It is every persons duty to purchase
q Liberty Bond if he is in a position to
do so. Every patriot viii regard it as
a privilege to participate in the Liber-
ty Loan. He will thereby contribute
directly and effectively to the success
full prosecution of the war which Ger
many has forced upon US. The nations
task is a serious one. 1t intimately
touches each of US. It faces you and
me. If we do not win this war, we
must prepare ourselves for grave
changes in our institutions and to lead
a different sort Of life from that which
we had planned to live-from that
which our fathers died to give US the
right to live. We shall indefinitely
face the interference of the Prussian
autocracy or bear permanently the in
tolerable burdens of militarism. To
win this war we must have both men
and money. l know that every farm
er wants to do all in his power for the
nation in this day of trial. We will
not only labor to produce the necessa-
nv food stuffs but will also generously
contribute of his means to achieve
victory. / am confident that the far
mers of the land will not permit any
other class to take the leadership in
supporting the government in this cri-
sis, financially or otherwise.
We are at war with Germany be-
cause Germany made wal upon US,
sank our ships, killed our citizens, and
plotted against US N'le processing
friendship. We were patient till Of
lenses became so fragrant and insults
SO intolerable that it was merely a
question whether we would admit that
we were no longer a free nation or ac-
cept the challenge of the war-mad,
hypocritical, and medieval Prussian
militarists. There was M choice we
could not make-we were incapable of
making. We could not choose the
path of submission and suffer the most
sacred rights Of our nation and our
people to be ignored and violated"
We are defending our rights as a
free nation. We are resolved that there
shall be an end of brute force in inter-
national affairs. What Germany's
victory would mean to the world is
cept mis- peace Save atrigetp ax-
of ~humiliations too bitter to be borne.
Small nations could not exist. There
would be no sanctity to a pledge, no
s~olemnity to a covenant. With the dom
nance of Prussian m~ilitarism, the
An~gIo-Saxon struggle for free i~nstitu-
tions and liberty, persisting from Run
nymede to Yorktown, with its Magma
Charta, its Bill of Rights, and its
Declaration of independence, will have
been in vain. 1t is to prevent this, to
defend our rights, and to make posi-
BILE an orderly and just peace in the
world that we are at war. The nation
calls on it's citizens for high and noble
service. On some it calls for service
in the field; on others for service at
home; on all, it calls for financial sup
port. | am confident that the farmers
of the nation will eagerly respond to
the call for subscriptions to the Lib
erty Loan.-D. F. Houston, Secretary

national spirit of the Americans.
They sought to make traitors of Amer
lean citizens and by a systematic cam
paign of falsehood and chicanery to
poison the minds of American people
and especially the people of foreign
birth who are living among us.
They sought to make traitors or
slackers of our people and to make
enemies of friendly nations. When
the German ambassador and many
German representatives and citizens
were living here under our protection,
secure in the honor and good faith of
America, they themselves were con-
spring against the peace of this coun-
try, and were in effect actually waging
war upon this country by giving in
formatinon by which ships were sunk,
and by actual acts of war in the de-
struction Of property and lives COM
mitted in this country. When Am
bassador Bernstorff in Washington
was asking for money to influence
the American congress, Zimmerman,
the foreign secretary in Berlin, was
seeking to array Mexico and Japan
against us. The rules of international
law regarding ambassadors have been
held by honorable nations to be partic-
ularly sacred; but German contempt
of America violated them without scru
pie.
Absolute contempt for Americas
courage and willingness and ability
to enforce our rights was shown by
the German imperial government
time and time again. With one stroke
of the kaiser's pen in signing the war
zone decree it was sought to destroy
more than $3,4OO,OOO,O0O of our annual
commerce with Europe.
Our exports to the nations with
which Germany is at war constitute
the greater half of our exports to the
entire world. Not all the German inn
perial army and navy can damage our
commerce as much as the German i'm
perial government sought to do by a
simple decree which its insolent con-
tempt of the United States led it to
believe would be obeyed by us. Not

 The Skagway Alpine club at its last meeting appointed a committee of three to ascertain what sum can be raised for this purpose. The committee is: L. A. Harrison, chair man; W. L. LandsborOugh, F. w. Fickardt.
 By way of encouragement, the club decided to head the subscrip- tion list with S1OO. If the amount pledged is sufficient to warrant the endeayor, the club will try to comulete the funds by special eff forts along other lines than per soual contributions. MT. Ashley's committee reported to the club that 9he cost, at the outside, would be $6OG and would probably be con siGerably less. ..;,

CHARTER BQBT FUR KUSK0KHIM

"The power schooner Bender Brothers, owned by Knaflich & AL bert, has been chartered by the West Coast Grocery Company to carry a load of supplies to the Moravian missions in the Kuskok- vim river district, according to Cap Louis Knaflich," says the Seattle Pest Intelngencer. "The Bender Brothers, when she reaches Quin- haget and Bethel this spring, will be a most welcome sight, for thru failure of delivery of supplies last fall the natives and traders along the river have had short com mons all winter. The arrival of the Bender Brothers will also have a deeper significance to the mis- siouaIies and their charges, as 1t was through their industry that the vessel is now sailing the seas instead of being a dismantled hulk on the Kuskokwim flats.
 Serves as Supply Carrier
 The Bender Brothers, then sailing vessel, went ashore and was driven far back on the flats some twelve years ago. The Moravian missionaries and their Indian charg- es put in an entire summer float ing the vessel and after she was once more free Capt. Knaflich pur- chased her. running her to Seattle where power was installed. For the past ten years she has served IS a supply boat to the same mis- sionaries who were responsible for the salvage of the craft. Two years ago she was frozen in at Bethel with Capt. Knaflich in command, but despite various vicissitudes in the North she was the last vessel out of Bering sea last fall and will be the first to enter this spring, having sailed from Seattle several days ago on another mis- sion.
 Buy New Vessel
 "Knaflich & Albert also annOunc- ed yesterday the purchase of a power schooner now building at Eagle Harbor at the plant of J. T. Wilkin. The next vessel is 66 feet over all, with beam of 15 feet, She will be powered with 45- horse power Union and will go into the north this spring under her own power. Once at Kuskok- vim river the new vessel will be kept busy as a feeder to the power schooners Bender Brothers and Ru- by, making trips to out-of-the-way points and connecting with the two Seattle vessels. The purchase of the new vessel is in line with the policy of Knaflich & Albert to fur nish adequate transportation ser vice between Seattle and the Kus- kokwim."

SUBMARINES IN THE PACIFIC

That no serious danger from Ger man submarines is likely on he Pa eric coast, is the view taken in the following editorial from the Seat 'le Post-IntelIigeucer:
 The warning sent out by the na- " department that German sub marines are operating, or about to operate, ol the Pacific coast prom ises to bring us in touch with the real thing, but no more than in touch. German U-bOats, suppOsing thev have reached this coast, must base a. convenient Mexican or Cen tral American harbOrs to be ef- fecsive, in waters that will be fairly combed by American subma- riue chasers within a short time. IP there are any enemy U-bOats on this coast they are in much great CT danger than American ships or American citizens.
 The threat to overseas Pacific skipping is against Japan rather than the United States. But one American steamship line operates in the overseas trade from the Ameri- can coast, and this out of San Francisco. The great bulk of overseas traffic is carried by Ja- pauese ships in and out Of. Seattle and Tacoma, and it is against these ships that the U-bOat warfare wold be largely directed.
 The navy departments warning Is thus a serious concern to the imperial government at Tokyo. Japanese warships have been in these waters within the last six weeks. and it is possible that one or more of them are near the Ameri can coast at this time. If they are net, it may be reasonably assured that they will De here within two or three weeks and remain until the danger is disposed Of.
 Our own navy, however, has a number of small vessels at it's disrosaIs that are available for cOa.t patrol that will be useful. De stroyers operating out of San Diego and San Francisco have been par ticularly effective in taking care Of filiDusters seeking to transport arms tc the Mexican coast.
 Tn the cOastwise merchant ser vice it will probably be possible to provide the larger ships with the sixty-foot submaTine chasers so effective in coping with the sub marine. With the ample and sea sonable warning of the navy de- partment, it is hkley that the German U-bOat menace cannot long exist along this cOast.'
