TO BUILD
ANOTHER
CHURCH?

Preparations for a new building
for the First Presbyterian church
on a site more conveniently locat-
ed are being made by a committee
of the church, according to the
statement of Rev. DR.. c. w. Weyer
Friday.
The committee is investigating
to find a suitable site for the pro-
posed new building, which 1t is de-
clared has been made necessary by
the big congregations which the
present church has been unable to
accommodate comfortably.
Ask for Suggestions.
A short time ago the officers of
the church held a meeting to vote
on the question of spending $10,-
900 to remodel the present frame
building. They voted against it,
but instead, began planning for
new structure.
Last Sunday evening the con-
gregation, which is said to have
numbered 1000, were asked to
write their names and addresses
on cards in order to help deter
mine the best location.
This canvass, Dr.. Weyer de-
clares, showed that more than 60
per cent of the congregation had
to ride from a distance either by
street car or auto.
To Talk on Marriage
1--WE have found that the resi-
dence district has been moving
away from u.s." says DR.. Weyer,
land that our present site is very
unsuitable"
Sunday night DR.. Weyer talks
on Marriage" or 1.-THE Hazard of
Love-" in which he promises to
deal frankly and fairly with one
of the greatest social problems.
THE church has faialed to ap-
ply the principles of Christ to the
modern home, and easy divorces
and free love are today threaten
ing the existence Of this ancient
institution" he says.

THE OPPOSITION
BY THE EDITOR.

When the army post project first took form
made the assertion that no intelligent, open
minded citizen could consistently oppose it.
That statement stands Not but there may be
an occasional sensible citizen still against the
enterprise. Where such one is found it soon
develops that he had been misnformed in re-
gard to some phase of the plan or that he had not
had time to study it thoroughly
In other words, what negative feeling there
was in the community at first has steadily dim
finished as the facts have been hammered home
There doubtless does remain a small percent
age of another sort of opposition, soured, pes
simistic, knocker kind of opposition such as
Miss Abbott has so clearly described and such as
w. II. Paulhamus referred to in his armory
speech as that of the man who is simply "agin
the government"
Every community it seems, has to shelter a
certain percentage of such persons.
But on the whole, the voters are clear-headed
and alert. Just a little more educative work
among the few who still are unconverted, be-
cause wrongfully informed and great big
yes vote on Saturday will be assured

ALKALI IN SOAP
BAD FOR THE HAIR

Soap should be used very care
fully, IL you want to keep your
hair looking its best. Most soaps
and prepared shampoos contain
too much alkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle. and
ruins it..
The best thing for steady use is
just Ordinary mulsified cocoanut
oil (which is pure and greaseless)
and Is better than the most ex-
pensive soap or anything else you
can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thor

For McLemore Bill
Shifts Responsibility When
Representative Replies
to Criticism

WASHINGTON, Nov 4.-Representa-
tive McLemore, of Texas, made public
tonight a letter from Theodore Roose-
welt, replying to one from the Texas
Representative, objecting to an uncom-
plimentary reference by Colonel Roose-
welt to him and his resolution 20 warn
Americans off armed ships. Mr. Nc
Lemore called attention to Secretary
Lansing's memorandum of January IS,
1916. saying Americans who sailed on
armed merchant ships did so at their
own risk, and declared that he based
his resolution on that.
while, of course, do not agree with
you about your resolution" Colonel
Roosevelt wrote in reply. at is due 70
you TO say that il came logically from
this note Of January %, issued by d.
rection of the President. and from his
action in treating the sinking Of the
Lusitania as closed incident. | Will
very frankly say that in view OF what
you set out, the blame ! have ascribed
TO you for your action ought more
properly be ascribed to the Administra-
tion.
III the actions Of the Administra-
ton at that time were proper, then
your action was proper; and, Of course,
as a matter Of fact, our action in go
ing to war, which deem so absolutely
right, can only thus be considered right
if we also frankly admit that our ac-
ton was entirely wrong in not going
to war after The Lusitania."

Steel Ban Would
Cripple Japanese


SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. Just how
disastrous would be the effect of the
American ban on steel export on the
shipbuilding plants in Japan can be
gathered from the following cable mes
sage from Toxic 20 Japanese newspa-
pers here:
There are about fifty shipbuilding
yards in Japan which are compare
lively substantial and extensive. If the
United States refuses TO export steel TO
Japan thirteen of the number may find
ways and means to keep the plants
open after a fashion, but the rest will
be forced TO close up completely. In
fact, it is highly questionable that even
the thirteen plants can be continued
This is the view expressed by govern
ment officials who have examined the
yards.
"The steel famine in japan is send
ing prices 20 a great height. Govern
mental price fixing in the United States
put steel shapes at about $50 and steel
plates at SOS ton. To-day Japan is
bidding more than $3.50 ton for steel
plates and $500 for steel shapes, nearly
1000 per cent more than the prices
fixed in America"

Soldiers to Join
Baltimore Protest
On Muck Concert
Camp Meade Detachment
Will Participate in Patri-

BALTIMORE, Nov. 1.-THE indigna-
ton Of Baltimore citizens over the
scheduled appearance of DR.. Karl Muck
German leader of the Boston Symphony
Orchestra, at the concert here Wednes-
day night has spread 20 the National
Army soldiers from this city who are
training at Camp Meade.
General Joseph Z. Kuhn, commander
of the camp, has decided to give an
outlet for the indignation by sending
TO the patriotic mass meeting Tuesday
the Camp Meade band and fifty SOL
liers. General Kuhn notified former
Governor Warfeld, who is leading in
Baltmore's protest, Of this to-day.
Practically every patriotic, society IN
the city will be represented.
II Or. Muck is retained as director or
the Boston Symphony Orchestra. as IL
has been announced he will be, there Is
possibility that the concert Wednes-
day night will be forbidden. General
Lawrason Riggs, president of the Po-
lice BOARD. said it was the duty OF the
board TO see that no gathering tending
TO disturb the peace be permitted
AT present" ne said 1T does not APP
pear that there will be any call for ac-
ton in regard to the Boston Symphony
concert, but the board will be guided
BY developments of the next two days. .
"The matter has now grown out OF
the realm Of academic discussion" Cen
eral Riggs continued, speaking as an
individual "It has become a question
Of an aroused public feeling. The pres
cnce of DR.. Muck necessarily would de-
stroy any pleasure in the music. Per
soually ] would not care 10 attend the
concert il he were 20 conduct"
Police Marshal Robert D. Carter said
to-day he was absolutely opposed TO
any concert led by DR.. Muck. The mar
shall said he had received many anony-
nous postal cards and letters making
threats against Or. Muck, the Boston
Symphony Orchestra and the Lyric The
atre. He added that if the sentiment
expressed at the patriotic mass meet
ing Tuesday indicated that there might
be trouble at the concert steps would
be taken 20 prevent the concert.

Pope's Peace Efforts
Abandoned as Italy
Unites Against Foe

ROME, Nov. 4.-The gravity of the
situation and the fusion of all parties
into one national entity determined,
at all odds. to drive the enemy from
the mother soil, apparently. according
to high officials, has reached even the
Vatican, where il is realized il is adj

pcace, for the present ut least.
The leaders of the Catholic party
have made declaration Of their support
20 united Italy in the supreme strug.
gle, and it is said in official quarters
that the Vatican has been informed
that for the moment any attitude
which might be considered TO run
counter to the national aspirations
would be most unwelcome.
