Rev. J. M. MacIean.

IF this question had been asked me
few years ago. 1 would have suG
sested new churches. But that is not
the case now, for five new churches
have been built in the last six years
| at cost of approximately $4,000.
THE conventional suggestion would
be for y. NJ. c. A.. but do not be =
lieve that is the thing most necessary
at the present time The city could do
| more good with the $4,000 or 1000
needed for such an institution by
using the money to establish a great
civic playground on the island below
the Higgins avenue bridge. I haze
watched the work and the suggestions
of the engineers regarding this pro-
posal with interest and feel that
such n place would be the finest thing
imaginable for the city. Missoua has
no playground and there is no place
for the boys except on the school
grounds. and they cannot play foot
ball or baseball there. They have to
hunt some vacant lot and are often
subjected to conditions adverse to the
proper development of the growing
boy. A playground on the island with
a baseball diamond and football field
for the boys, exclusive grounds for the
girls, a swimming pool in summer and
skating rink in winter would be a
great agent for moral uplift and would
also make a favorable impression on
the visitors to the city"

world are fixed for the moment behind the battle
line where inside the closely guarded froners the
bursting of the long brewing storm Of discomfort

Extraordinary measures have been
taken by the Central Empires to pre-
vent the outside world from knowing
what is transpiring within their bor-
'ders. No German newspapers are al
lowed to pass into neutral countries
and for the last ten days all persons
have been forbidden to leave Germany.

Germany and Austria obscures the
