We need you, Spanish American

CHURCH GIVES AID
TO BELGIAN RELIEF

The Easter Sunday offering at the
PRESBYTERIAN church for the morning
service and the Sunday school nctted
$155 for the belgian relief fund. A
special appeal strengthened by the
war between the United States and
Germany was made to the congrega-
ton and the result was far beyond
the expectations of the church officers.
The money will be turned over to the
central office for the relief fund at
New York.

Suffrasists forming in line to march
around White House.; passing the
executive offices and special dele
gates trying to enter.

Five hundred SuffraSiStS walked
around the White House grounds
some time ago until they were
drenched to the san, but they made
no more imprcssion-so far as could
be scen--than they would have by
parading around the pyramids.
The walls of Jericho did not fall.
The iron gates which bar the way to
the White House were held with pad
