USE PHYSICAL FORCE
A CHRISTIAN DOCTRINE
British Columbia Minister Strongly OPP
posed to the Talk AbOnt
NOn-Resistance

VICTORIA, B. C.-The position OF
the advocate of non-resistance is I'M
tenable. Non-resistance is not only
impossible; it is immoral and outra-
gaes some of the noblest and highest
instincts which Divine Creator
has given u.s. The duty of a
Christian is at the battle front fight
ing that right may dominate the world.
These are the sentiments, sounded
by Rev. Charles Crouchner, which are
ringing through Victoria today. There
is nothing compromising, nothing fiji
nching in his stand
Society cannot live without force
he declared" Here is your home. Here
are your wife and child band of
brutes in the name of foreign govern
ment attack your home that they may
mutilate and outrage and destroy
You have in your possession a machine
gun and know how to use it. How
would you feel if told that Jesus
would not permit you to defend from
death or even worse those under your
roof? 1t is Gods will that we should
use physical force when it is the on
ly remedy"

GOOD RECORD rs MADE
BY WOMEN OF GENESEE
Red Cross Work There is Progressing
Nicely With the Spirit OF Help
fulness Dominant

! One of the most interesting meet
ings Of the Red Cross society yet held,
says the Genesee News; occurred Sat
urday afternoon at the Social house
when the society was asked to meet
Mrs H. Whittier and Mrs. Fred Veatch
of Moscow, who are visiting every
chapter and auxiliary in Latah county
taking an inventory of the work being
done.
Heretofore each society has been
busily engaged in making hospital
supplies, but had no definite end in
view The aim from now on will be
to complete the supplies for one-fifth
of a navy base hospital or it's equiv
alent, one-tenth of an army base hos
pital. The inventory so far made re-
vealed some surprising things as
many times the amount had been
made up of some articles while others
were lacking altogether AS soon as
Mrs. Whittier and Mrs. Veatch have
COlupleltQ tuelI Inventory d ueetilS
will be held in Moscow in which all OF
the auxiliaries will be represented and
the work will be divided up to the best
advantage for completing the unit de-
cided upon. Having a definite aim in
view for which to work will give added
interest to the sewing.
The Moscow ladies expressed them
selves as much pleased with the
amount of sewing the Genesee auXil
larry had done and also the neatness
of the work. While few minor mis-
takes may have been made, the work
is being conscientiously undertaken
and will compare well with that of
amy other society.

DOWned Five Times

The fact that Thieffry has been
downed five times by enemy machines
demonstrates his qualities as an avia-

time that he has been "downed" he has
been engaged in the closest, deadliest
combat with his adversary in which the
latter merely happened to get the adj

DARING BELGIAN AVIATOR
PROVES TO THE WORLD THAT

IN WAR
By HENRY WOOD

PARIS-Adjutant Edmond Thieffry,
guished himself by bringing down two
German machines in the same combat,
has another distinction of which today
he is still the sole possessor in the en-
tire aviation world. In the course of
desperate aerial flights Thieffry has
himself been brought down no less
than five times by his adversary, and
has figured in the German official ac-
count of these combats as having been
vived an equal number Of defeats.

An Aviation Romance

Thieffry'S career is one of the avia-
ton romances of the war. With the
German invasion of Belgium, Thieffry
was first modified as motorcycle
messenger on the staff of General Lem
an He was made prisoner; succeed
ing later in escaping to Holland, where
he was informed, but from where he
again succeeded in eluding his guards
and making his way into the Belgian
lines.
In July, 1915, he entered the aviation
service and for a year and half went
through all the more important raids
of the Belgian bombarding squadrons,
BY December, 1916, he won promotion
into a fighting squadron and during
the first six months of 1917 establish
ed for himself a record almost without
equal. On January "a he flew over
Brussels arousing the most intense en-
thusiasm on the part of the Belgian
population still remaining there. He
descended to within rs feet of the city's
streets and dropped leaflets assuring
his compatriots of their ultimate 'deliv-
arance

Pipp stands today as an example OF

Donovan. When Wild Bill was brought
over from Providence pennant fame to

Messrs. Rupert and Huston, the new
owners, he found that the Detroit club
had given New York options on Pipp
and Hughie High.
Both Pipp and High made good, and
formed nucleus around which it was
possible to build the present strong
structure. Like most of the promi-
nent American league sluggers, Wal
ter Pipp is a left-handed batsman. He
throws with his right hand, qualifica-
ton regarded as a great advantage
for first-base play. Pipp is a grand

his hands. He is possessed of Won

CLEVER WALTER PIPP
Yankees First Baseman Is Most

Three Years of Age-In Clean
Up Position.

Walter Pipp. first baseman of the
Yankees, IL one of the most remark
able players developed in the last de-
cade by tie American league. Last
season, while only twenty-three years
old, this c,ever performer earned the
home-run ritle of his circuit and also
batted in more runners during the sea-
son than any other ball player of the
johnson organization. His hitting was
more effective than that of Iris Speak
er, Ty Cobb, Joe Jackson, Eddie Col
Inns and several others who topped him
in the official averages.
Pipp bats fourth IN Bill Donovan's
order. Fourth place is considered the
cleanup" position. There is a fine
distinction when it is remembered that
J. Franklin Baker, the home-run king
of Connie Mack's famous world cham

THREE SWATS WERE ENOUGH
Gawky Michigan Pitcher Who Could
Fool Ty Cobb Is Given Chance
to Show Jennings.

Hughie Jennings, manager of the
Tigers, recently had a letter from a
Michigan pitcher who stated that he
could strike out Ty Cobb three times
out of four trips to the plate. 1t only
cost $3.50 to get peep at this pitcher
and, working on the old motto that you
never can tell, Jennings forwarded the
one buck and eight dimes.
The pitcher came, a six-foot four
inch man. He was gawky and he was
all joints and bone.
Cobb was called and he faced the
new marvel. The first pitch Cobb
whacked against the right-field wall.
The next was good for four bags when
Ty pasted it, and the third flew to
deep center and was a four-ply shot.
''Well, what have you got to say?'
asked Jennings.
81 don't think that's Cobb said the
pitcher.
Needless to say, that ended the
pitchers career.
