Of Indiana was a resolution present
ed yesterday by the Rev. c. H. Lee
son of Stockwell, Ind. at the North
west Methodist conference. which
has been in progress at Valparaiso
since last Wednesday.
The resolution called for much
comment and discussion. The con-
ference objected very strongly to it
until Supt Tillotson made a short
talk in favor OF it. saying that
teaching German in America was
apart OF the German propaganda.
and that therefore under no consid-
Grafton ought it be tolerated in our
public schools. After his speech the
conference reconsidered and finally
the resolution was referred 20 the
committee on the state of the coun-
try.
Immediately following the refer
ring of the resolution. other bust
ness was taken up. The Rev. II. L.
Davis Of South Bend was appointed
on the Calumet foreign missionary
committee. which is TO begin active
work soon. The Rev r. S. Shu-
maker was recommended for ap-
pOintment on the Indiana Anti-Sa-
loon league. However. nothing def
mite was decided upon.
During yesterdays conference re-
ports Of the South Bend church
salaries were read. 1t was reported
that the South Bend district during
the year Of 1917 paid 70 preachers.
$5S,253; TO superintendent. S3,S52;
to bishops, 1852; to conference
claimants $500; totalling S66,917,
which is an increase of a little more
than $4,000 over last year
The entire enrolment in the city
churches for last year totaled 49,
75S. Epworth leagues members
totaled 1854. and the juniors. l.
COS.
A report as 20 the value of the
city's churches was read in which
il was stated that more than $780,
600 has been invested in places Of
worship throughout the city up TO
the present time.
The days conference was brought
70 a close with a short talk by
Bishop Nicholson of Chicago. Let
us hope and pray" he said, that
no minister here or anywhere else
III the United States will show what
little backbone and courage he has
as to claim draft exemption should
Uncle Sam call upon him 10 give
his services for his country. Instead
let every man go when called for
IN such a crisis there is no time TO

CORPORAL "JIM'
Gets Letter From Old Confederate
Friend

Writing to the Baltimore Sun in
reference to a letter recently copied
in the Capital from that paper.
Corporal James ". Owens, says:
Enclosed | send copy of letter
this day received in reply to my let
ter TO you on September II. with
reference to the Confederate Soldiers
Home:
"september 20, 1911.
"Col. James w Owens:
Dear Sir:-You cannot imagine
the pleasure it gave me to read your
letter in the Baltimore Sun of Sep
TENDER II, telling of the condition of
the Confederate Soldiers Home, at
Pikesville Every line you wrote
were facts. l often felt, if | had the
nerve I would like to have written
just what you did. / had brother
in that miserably conducted place for
several years who often told me how
they fed the inmates He could not
possibly eat but the fewest unings
they had Had it not been for kind
friends helping him, and invitations
out to meals, he would have starved.
He was as conscientious and truthful
as any man ever lived, and I can
prove it.
Il think Mr.. Wheeler. in reply to
your letter, said they furnished the
best beef, potatoes and coffee. If so,
why did not the superintendent have
it properly prepared? There was not
any management there Every word
you wrote agrees with what my
brother told me- II grieved me so to
have him in such mean place. l do
hope you will advocate something in
the next Legislature that will bene-
fit the unfortunate ones who are
there
