TU REV. E. O. GILLETTE.
The garden rose so ruddy,

The garden rose so ruddy, Filings its perfume on the air, And the summer night is sweeter, Because it is blooming there. Oh! Shepherd of souls SO gentle; How often thy kindly smile, Or friendly words have frightened Our sorrows, ,-You thought it worth
 while. We fain would keep thee longer, If but for the briefest space, Yet our lives will always be richer, For knowing thy Christ-like grace.
 Sarah Geikie Hammond. Sept. 24th, 1917.

 MRS. K|Ne:C0ULD r NOT BE 4 SUICIDE
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

CONCORD, N. C., Nov. 29.-Dr. w H. Burmeister pathologist and coro- ner's physician of Cook county, H., testified today at the trial of Gaston B. Means that in his opinion it would have been impossible for Mrs. Maude A. King to have fired the shot which caused her death at BliGkwelder Spring near here the night of Au- gust 29.
 An examination of Mrs Kings body at Chicago by pr. Burmeister after a local coroners jury had decided that her death was accidental, resulted in a new investigation and the subsequent arrest of Means on the charge of be- ing her slayer.
 pr. Burmeisters testimony and the introduction of a number of letters, telegrams and other documents, in- cluding a photographic copy of the probated will of the late J. c. King, husband of the dead woman, while Americus B. Melville of Chicago. Mrs. Kings former lawyer, was on the stand were the outstanding features of the second day of the state presentation of its case. Aat
 Attorney Melville testified that he handled the settling of the estate for Mrs. King after the death of her hus- band and also transacted much busi-
 
 ness for her He met Means in 1915 being introduced by Mrs. King, whc told him that Means was her business agent and that she had an agreement with him by which he was to receive one-half of all the money he " saved for her above s10,00o a year." Her in- come from the estate, it was testified l was 317,000 a year.
 A paper, purporting to be a state | ment made by Means to Mrs. King was presented in evidence. It showed | profits of S26000 on various transac tions in 1915. which yielded Means sS,000 under the agreement. On cross. l examination the witness said he never i saw any evidence that Mrs. King wa. in any way dominated by Means. | l.. J. Howard of Charlotte, N. C. had told of selling Means an automo. bile which was paid for in cSsh iron a large amount of bills Means had or | his person.

SECRETARY WILSON EMPHASIZES NEED
 OF WAR SACR|F|CE
Republican A. p. Leased WIre1

PORTLAND, Ore, Nov. 29-William B. Wilson, secr-y of labor, in an address hefnre a large audience tonight emphasized the need of socrafice as the greatest need of the country in the world war.
 If 1 were to compress into a single sentence my belief of the greatest need of our country, I would say that it is the spirit of self sacrifice for the com mon good-a sacrifice of our pride, sac rifice of our prejurices sacrifice of our suspicious against each other, sacrifice of our material comforts. sacrifice of our lives if need be, in order that the democratic institutions handed down to us by our forefathers may be continued unimpaired to our children, so that they may work out their own destiny as we have been working out ours, un- impede dby the autocratic powers of Europe" said MT. Wilson.
 Secretary Wilson emphatically re- futed the charge from unfriendly sources that the war is a capitalists war and pointed out mat the employer and employe have a common interest in the conflict Because of this common interest he urged the abandonment of industrial i disputes until the war can be brought to successful termination.
 Secretary Wilson and the members l of the federal mediation commission will leave Friday morning for Puget | Sound.

 The internationalism of socialism is trying to drag to Stockholm too credu- lous theorists" he said. The inter nationalism of religion is leading to in trigue of which the Vatican has made itself too often the instrument. The internationalism of money is using the legal communications of the big public banks to nourish behind our fighters the corruptive efforts of Bolo Pasha and of Cavallinier.
 Captain Tardieu after warmly prais- ing what England had done and what the Americans are doing, said that perhaps more painful sacrifices ot habits and suceptibilities must be made to realize practically the pool of direc- tion, the pool of spirit and the pool of wills.
 Bainbridge Colby, who represented Colonel House, the latter being de- tained by inter- allied conference busi- ness, said that the American mission proposed to the British mission that there should be no more trade, no more commerce, and that all shipping facil- ities should be devoted to single object, a single aim-that is victory, He declared no allied ship or cargo will be despatched that has not for it's ex- press object the maintenance of the fighting forces and the victory of the common cause

Every police official in the country will be- come a part of the great machine or ganized for building the national army, upder war department plans announced today by Provost Marshal General Crowder Postal authorities also will play an active part in helping to carry out the new regulations and the de- partment believes that with the aid of these two agencies, local exemption boards will be greatly assisted in reg istering the men and getting them to the training camps as they are called.
 Police throughout the nation will be instructed to take into custody men who fail to report for physical examin- ation or who violate any of the new rules and regulations. They also will be charged to arrest and deliver to camps men who have been inducted into the military service by the local boards and who fail to entrain for mobilization. Such men are classed under military law as deserters and rewards of SIS will be paid for their arrest and delivery at the camps
 All the elaborate machinery of the postoffice department will be used to see that questionnaires are delivered tp the men and are returned by them within the seven da<s time limit al l4wed for filling them out. Postal of fifials also have been instructed by P1esident Wilson and Postmaster Gen. eral Burleson to cooperate to the full lest extent with the local boards in de- livering and forwarding notices tc registrants, particularly notices of en. trainment as failure to respond to this notice classes the registrant as a de. serteT.

SUBSTITUTION .OF
 WOOD FUEL URGED
rRepublican 4. p, Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-To help meet the shortage of 50.000.00 tons in the. country coal supply the fuel ad ministration in cooperation with the department of agriculture has inaug- urated an intensive campaign for the substitution of wood for coal.
 One cord of hard wood is equal to a ton of coal" said an announcement by the fuel administration. "One ton is released for use in war work for every cord of wood substituted. Sta tistics show that there is vast amount of dead wood in many sections of the country and that the. supply of wood in many communities Is sufficient for do- mestic purposes in those parts"
 In the south the statement said, ac- tivities already are under way looking to an intensive campaign for the sub- stitution of wood. In this connection, 1t was announced, that the department of agriculture would provide the ser vices of expert foresters without charge to supervise the cutting of wood so that no damage would be done to growing timber and that the largest use might be obtained of the wood supply.
