All these things we're accomplished
while our soil was not invaded or even
threatened with invasion and without
any disturbance of business. All was
done with the calm determination and
judgment of an earnest, patriotic people

rights, the dignity, and the honor OF
the greatest nation in the world.
The German leaders derided
Americas entry into the war as bluff.
This is our answer.
The German Imperial Government
was nearly fifty years in perfecting its
military efficiency. In less than four
months the American Republic has
made such strides as to indicate that
in less than two years time the boast
ed superiority OF German efficiency will
have been discredited. There is such
a thing as American efficiency, and
time will prove that German efficiency
can not withstand it. fighting as we
are for liberty, justice, and humanity.

NORTHERN BRANCH
 OF FPRESBYTERIANS ADOPT NEW METHOD
Social Service Commission Is Created-Use of Liquor and Tobacco Strongly
 DisapprOved

Dallas, Tex. May 2s.-Creation of so- cial service commission of 45 members to serve without expense, to assist in solv- ing problems of the church growing out of the war, and in stimulating interest in religious work was voted by the 129th general assembly of the Presbyterian church in the United States of America today by an overwhelming majority. The action was taken after Dr. John A. Mar quis of Cedar Rapids, Ia, former mod orator, said ''old methods of the church would not meet the situation"
 The assembly also adopted the report of the standing committee on temper ance, declaring against the liquor traffic and also disapproving the use of tobacco in any form. The resolution provided that the board of education of the church re- fuse aid to any student who used tobacco or intoxicants.
 At the morning session the assembly supported a resolution in favor of the Jones bill" providing Sunday as day of rest in the District of Columbia.

Declines to Consider Union With Northern Church at
 This Time
CORDIAL TOWARD
 FEDERAL COUNCIL
Interesting Reports Made on Status of Schools and Ministerial Relief. Docket Now Almost
 Clear
By MAMIE BAYS

Unless something unforeseen should oc- cur to prolong discussion beyond what is now expected, the fifty-seventh gen. eral assembly of the Presbyterian n church will clear it's docket today and morning session.
 The shortest general assembly in the history of the Southern Presbyterian church was that of 1912, held at Bristol, Va.-Tenn., and which was dissolved within enc week, to the hour.
 Two features of outstanding interest marked the sessions of the assembly ves- to the action of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America touching the protest of the assembly of 1915, and that of 1916 regarding certain actions of the council and the presenta- tion of three papers touching the pro- posed committee on union of the Pres byterian church in the United States with the Presbyterian church in the United States of America, as requested by the general assembly of the latter church now in session at Dallas, Tex
 TO AVOID POLITICS
 With regard to the action of the fed- eral council and it's answer to the protest of the assemblies named above, the assembly accepted the answer as satisfactory, and in this connection the assembly adopted the following item of the report of the standing committee on foreign correspondence:
 That the assembly's relation to the council may be cordial and that the his toric position of the church may be safe guarded, the commission of this assem- bly, to the council be directed to use their influence to have the council avoid poli- tics and actions which are in violation of our distinctive principles
 The following items of the report of the standing committee of foreign cor respondence are also of special interest:
 Tn order that the ministrations of the gospel may be given to the men in the army and navy who have gone forth In answer to their country's call, resolved that the ministers who are qualified in solar as need require. are asked to offer themselves as chaplains.
 That all our members may use and seek opportunities to win for Christ our young men who are, or who may soon be. called away from home to the perils of the field of battle"
 Rev. John F. Cannon D. D., St. Louis Rev. Russell Cecil, D. D., Richmond, and Rev. William Grove. D. D., Mem phis, are the members of the federal council from the Southern Presbyterian church.

D., also addressed the assembly, the former for the majority and the latter for the mi nority report.
 The further consideration of this ques- tion was left as unfinished business for the session of this morning The paper which the assembly adopts in this con nection will be the answer of the body to the assembly of the Presbyterian Church IT. s. A. It may be that another paper will be offered and adopted in lieu of any of those now before the assembly.
 FACTS OF IMPORTANCE
 The following facts of importance are from the report of the standing commit tee of Christian education and ministerial relief
 There is at this time one candidate for the ministry to every 712 members in the church This Is not so small a ratio as existed in 1881 when there was only one candidate for 846 members, but 1t Is not so large a ratio as existed in 1893 when the ratio was one candidate for every Al members.
 During the past year 306 candidates re- ceived loans from the committee, to a total amount of $30,740 Of those aided 152 were in theological seminaries; 131 in colleges; two were pursuing medical courses and F in training schools.
 The committee assisted the past year from the relief fund 80 ministers, 15s wid ows and 20 orphans to the amount of S52 773.S6, the largest amount the com mittee has so administered In one year.
 The past year the endowment fund for ministerial relief has been increased from about $350O0o to s543,651. The in crease to the student loan fund the past year was only S3756. and from the fund, now amounting to s24,S4e. loans were granted to 66 young people last year. these being students in Presbyterian schools. Lack of funds prevented the granting of 50 additional loans requested.
 The report calls attention to the fact that the schools and colleges of the church are. practically without excep- tion, face to face at this time with the most serious crisis in their existence. The time has come when all educational institutions are forced to conform In cur riculum, equipment, and teaching force to standards recommended by various agencies and generally accepted by all classes alike as right and proper.
