Mrs, Snyder Gives Address.
The address of the evening was given
by Mrs. Sarah Ernest Snyder. of Pitts
burgh Pa. She took for her theme
The Good Shepherd and the Lost
Sheep" From this the speaker gave a
clear vision of the prophecies of Isaiah.
and when these prophecies were full
filed by Jesus coming to this earth to
find his sheep. How the command was
given to the disciples to go into all
the world and give the gospel, and how
we. the disciples of Christ in modern
times, We're given that same command,
to take the gospel to every people and
into every land. How we, Christ's dis
ciples. today were falling far short OF
our opportunities, and the result is the
great need OF more missionaries in
China, Africa, Korea and other lands,
where the people are plea ding for the
gospel to be brought to them.
Here a brief comparison was made OF
the work in America to that OF
China. OF the ss.G00.o0o people in the
United States, where there Is one min
lister to every 600. while in China there
is one to every 100000. In concluding
her address the speaker made an earn
est plea for more workers here at

ried to more landA ....

TWO SAVELICENSES
THROUGH FRANKNESS
W. c. Smiley and D. W. Good
Promise Aid to Food Body.

The first blow in the war on food
proflteers by the Federal Trade Com
mission. acting for the United States
Food Administration, was struck yes
terday. Two men from Roanoke, Va,
subpoenaed. were taken before Com
missioner Victor Murdock, in charge
Of the profiteering inquiry, in connec-
tion with an alleged attempt by MEM
bers of the Virginia Gamers Asso-
ciation to fix higher prices for can
ned tomatoes.
The two men summoned, w. c..
Smiley and d. William Good, gave
such evidence of good faith. how
ever. that they may not lose their
licenses and may not have to an
swer further action by the Com
mission. Commissioner Murdock said
that. although he was anxious to
cruelty some offender peremptorily as
an example. he was inclined to be
lenient in this instance.
James A. Ford. counsel for the d.
vision OF enforcement of the Food
Administration, also indicated that
the frankness Of the men and their
helpful attitude would exculpate them.
He said he would recommend to the
Administration that revocation Of
their licenses be waived.
Messrs. Smiley and Good persuaded
the Commissioner their motives were
intended only to fight the organized
jobbers' alleged beating down Of
prices.

Sharply Criticised by In

Although American soldiers are
even now In the trenches of France,
no single piece OF heavy artillery
equipment used by fighting men Is In

French, or OF any other of our al
lies. This was disclosed to the Senate
Military Committee, by Gen. William
Croker, Chief of Ordnance, yester-
day.

Wadsworth, there is no uniformity
with any Of our allies upon rifles,
machine guns, or the heaviest type
OF guns. or really important thiags
that are to be used through the war
in great quantities."
Your statement covers the case"
replied Gen. Crozier.

to remain speechless. even though

same caliber as the American e.5,

certain that It could be done.
Sharp criticism was made Of Gen.
Crozier by Senators Chamberlain

grizzled officer said the day before the
war declaration Congress was asked
for g, ,932. .0o0.0 900. but delayed the appro-
priation because it wanted detailed es-
Inmates. and there was consequent de-

Detailed testimony was taken con-
cerning high explosives and partic-
ularly the supply Of INT. Gen.

Two disclosures were that of Is, ,O00,-
