BOARD RECOMMENDS
RECREATION GROUND
AT RICHMOND PARK

President Bavis of the board Of pub
lie works, announced today that the
board will recommend to council that
a recreation field and children's play
ground be established in Glen Miller
park if, after investigation. council
deemed such plan advisable.
The plan we have in mind calls
for the construction of recreation
park and children's playground in that
section of the Glen east of the elk pen
This part of the park is now used for
farming purposes and it is a question
whether it is more advisable to con-
tinue to use the tract for farming
purposes or turn it into a place of
recreation for young men and women
and the children of the city, Mr.. Ba-
Wis said
Grounds in Remote Section
"This tract is the only desirable
place for recreation field 1t is in
remote section and the young people
who would use it would not disturb
other park visitors
"The plan calls for removing the
elk herd from aheir present quarters

Dr. Carroll presents figures also to
show that the total number Of Protest

proximates 200,000,000.
Classified they are in the following
bodies:

$4,000 communicates, gain in 1916
of about $4,000 Except for an extra
ordinary revision of the returns of the
Disciples of Christ, causing an appar-
ent loss of about $4,000. the gains OF
the churches comprising the Federal
Council would have been much larger.

The Jews demanded a sign as con-
dition of believing on him, when he,
himself, was the greatest of all signs
w. 36). They sought to enforce their
demands by reference to Moses and
the mamma, but Jesus showed them
that the mamma was type of "the
(true) bread of God" The character
istics of this bread are: O 1t comes
down from heaven; (2) 1t giveth life
unto the world. Jesus hearers did not
understand what he meant, and ex-
claimed: ''Evermore give us this
bread" Jesus was trying to impress
upon his hearers the same diligence in
heavenly matters as in the pursuit Of
earthly meals.

". 34) Jesus said unto them plainly {:
II am the bread of life," meaning that
he is the true bread of God. He is
not only the giver of the bread of life,
but he, himself, is the Bread of Life.
AS bread will satisfy the needs of the
physical body, giving strength, vital
ity and energy, so he will supply the
needs of the soul. He will satisfy the
deep hunger and longing which is the
evidence of need, and he will also sat
iSfy the thirst which is the more in
tense desire-the spiritual craving of
the soul. Jesus ministers to the never
failing strength of all who come to
him, and who believe on him. Coming
to him Is seeking help and blessing
from him. Believing on him is the abb
solute abandonment of self to him.
This multitude had actually seen the
living bread ". 36), yet they believed
not because they were so occupied
with the material and unreal things Of
this world.
Today we find men so taken up with
the material and unreal that they
neither appreciate nor believe upon the
true bread which has been sent down
from God out of heaven. Not all will
come to him (John 5 :24), but anyone
can prove that he belongs to the elect
of God and the company of the Father
by coming to Jesus ". 37. If any
man does come, he will be received.
These words of Jesus are very posi-
tive, 81 will in no wise cast him out"

is therefore co-equal with God. Note

A strange set OF numerals was used
by the elder generation OF farmers In
one of our northern dales, especially
for counting sheep, and the procedure
was as follows: A gap was made In
the wall just wide enough to admit
one sheep at time, and as the sheep
were driven through the farmer would
count them, making notch in his
stick at every fifteen. Phonetically the
numerals sound like "yann, tame,
tether, neither, pip, sax, sane, caterer,
wheeler, dick, yann-er-dick, lancer
dick, teth-er-dick, mether-er-dick, boom
MT "Boomfit" was fifteen, and so a
notch was made In the stick, and the
strange chant began all over again

LET " REMAIN DEAD.

The necessity of dealing with certain
reasonable German newspaper editors
has started the administration to re-
vive the press censorship bill.
Undoubtedly these editors are seri-
ously handicapping the preparation for
war They are sneerine at our GOV.
eminent, spreading discomfort and ex
ertlng every effort to create a hostile
feeling in this country against our
allies.
However, their vicious work should
not be taken as an excuse by the ad
m'nlstration for insisting upon such
a censorship bill as was proposed and
rejected. II that bill had become a
law 1t would have been possible for
the president to have suppressed any
newspaper that offered criticism of
his administration and to have killed
true expression of opinion. We do not
say that this would have followed.
but the bill granted that power and If
1t had become a law the fundamental
principles of American self govern
ment would have been cast in the
scrap-heap. Free speech and free
press would have been things of the
past.
AS the New York Tribune points
out, President Lincoln never asked
Congress to pass a censorship act and
Yet, under the statutes which still ex-
list, he imprisoned seditious editors
and at one time suppressed a newspa =
per as powerful as the Chicago Times
though he yielded later to pressure
and withdrew the order. He did not
always recognize writs of habeas cor
pus obtained from federal courts
Even though he was the victim of
unjust newspaper criticism. he never
attempted to restrict the freedom of
the press.
The German editors and newspaper,
who are creating trouble at this time
and may create more, can be handled
with entire satisfaction under the
present laws. 1t is quite certain that
any local punishment of these peo-

A WORD TO THE DoueTERs.

There is but one sound viewpoin
for the man who does not quite be
lieve that this country is in DANCE
and is unwilling to prophesy a return
Of what has happened in the past
That is the experience OF the Erencl
and Belgian people and the outrage.
they have suffered at the hands o
the Germans. Certainly. there is nj
reason for believing that German
| invasion on our soil would not bt
followed by anything worse. The
Germans would then feel quite sure
| that their methods had been entirely
justified by results.
A recent official French report on
conditions In the reconQuered terri
tory gives shocking instances of Ger
man outrages. This is first hand evil
dence from the Inhabitants who ar
now back in the control of their own
government.
Among the German orders was one
announcing that any inhabitant shell
tering stragglers without giving no.
tice to the German authorities would
be shot. Municipalities and individ-
uals were increasingly robbed. The
German command at thu. little town
OK Nesle ordered a fine on the munic-
ipality of $4,000. Without giving the
town chance to raise the money, the
mayor and members Of the municipal
council were thrown into a cellar half
filled with water and kept there till
the fine was paid. The Germans tore
the tubes from the church organs and
stole the clocks from the belfries. The
wells We're poisoned and the fruit trees
destroyed. The sheep, pigs and cat
tie were killed and the furniture was
burned for barbecue. Imprisonment
was inflicted upon women and chill
dren for the most trifling cause.
Young girls were taken away by Ger
man officers when the armies left. At
Dowilly, when the mayor protested
against the treatment Of the inhabi-
tants. the commanding officer said
to him, The words humanity and pity
are blotted out Of our dictionary"
All that and even more will hap
pen in the United States If Germany
wins this war. No one should be de-
iuded in that respect. The way TO
prevent it is to get the country into
action without delay and to that end
there is work for every man. woman.
