Whereas the Congress Of the Uni
ted States, by a concurrent resoiu-
ton adopted on the 4th day OF the
present month of October, in view
of the entrance of our Nation into

afflicts the greater part Of the

upon to offer concerted prayer to
Almighty God for His divine aid in
the success of our arms;
And whereas it behooves a great
free people, nurturee as we have
been in the eternal principles of JUS
tice and Of right, Nation which has
sought from the earliest days of ex-
istence to be obedient to the divine
teachings which have inspired it in
the exercise of its liberties, to turn
always to the Supreme Master and
cast themselves in faith at His
feet, praying for His aid and succor
in every hour of trial, to the end
that the great aims to which our
fathers dedicated our power as a
people may not perish among men,
but be always asserted and defended
with fresh ardor and devotion and,
through the divine blessing, set at
last upon enduring foundations for
the benefit of all the free peoples of
the earth:
Now, therefore, l, Woodrow Will
son, President Of the United States,
gladly responding to the wish ex-
pressed by the Congress, do appoint
October %, being the last Sunday of
the present month, as day Of sup
plication and prayer for all the peo-
pie of the Nation, earnestly ex-
horting al my countrymen to OBJ
serve the appointed day, according
to their several faiths, in solemn
prayer that Gods blessing may rest
upon the high task which is laid up
on us, to the end that the cause for
which we give our lives and treasure
may triumph and our efforts be
blessed with high achievement.
In witness whereof, have here
unto set my hand and caused the
seal of the United States to be at
fixed.

THE SCHOOL TAX.
From Patterson Tribune:

From Patterson Tribune:
The Parish School Board is facing
the probability Of running the
school term six and two-thirds
months, instead of the usual nine
months, owing to insufficient funds.
This is a deplorable fact and one
which only the qualified electors Of
St. Mary are able to remedy. The
board has called a special election
for November 18th for the purpose
of voting one and one-half mill
tax for the continuance of the ses-
sion. And in time when educa-
ton has become the main factor Of
success, it behooves every man quail
flied to vote to do so willingly and
without regret. The coming gener-
alton needs all Of the advantages de-
rived from education. It would Sc
riously impair the children Of today
to have their term shortened. One
of the severest handicaps they would
be six months session. If there is
the slightest shortening Of the school
term, we shall find St. Mary in a
few years with a generation of in
competents.
All parishes and states are yearly
improving the standard of their
schools, St. Mary, is no exception,
but if the proposition Of an added
mill and one-half tax upon property
valuation is not carried through then
the schools of St. Mary will begin to
retrogress. Therefore every effort
should be made to bring the educa-
tional machinery Of St. Mary's Par
ish to a greater degree of effective
ness, fitting our boys and girls to the
new necessities Of war time indus
tries.
eW cannot afford to stint their
training. Let every voter in st.
Mary, help to keep our schools at
the top notch Of efficiency.

RUSSIAN REVOLUTION
 BEING ENDANGERED
Poisonous Seeds of Counter Revolution
 May Come Into Full Bloom

Petrograd, via London, July 26.- (British Admiralty Per Wireless Press). Another proclamation has been issued on behalf of the execu- tives of the workmens and soldiers delegates and the peasants congress. It is signed by N. c. Tcheidse. presi- dent of the council of workmen's and soldiers delegates and socialist mem Der of the duma, and is addressed to all committees of the army and the fleet and declares that the revolution is being endangered.
 Lack of discipline and open treach- cry at the front" says the proclama- ton, "are facilitating Field Marshal Won Hindenburg'S new offensive. The serious defeats inflicted on our army are opening the way to the enemy for increasing the general panic and pre- pairing the soil in which the poisonous seeds of counterrevolution may come into full bloom
 The proclamation concludes with an appeal to rally round "our all Rus- sian centers" and show the world that the nation shall not perish

 Russians and Rumanians.
 Tn addition to preaching the German lines south of the Carpathians, the Russains and Rumanians made large captures of men and guns. To the Rumanians there came as a reward for their part ip the concentrated attack more than a thousand prisoners, B guns, IT machine guns and other war equipment while the Russians for their part took approximately the same number of prisoners and A guns.
 In the north, around Krevo, the Germans have recaptured the greater part of the territory taken from them early in the week.
 Germany's Vicious Thrust.
 Again the Germans have made a vii cious thrust at the French line in the Aisne region of France and again they have paid dearly in men killed or wounded for a slight gain The at~ tack was delivered over front of two miles, from Hurtebise to La Bouvelle, but only to the south of Allies was the crown princes army able to pene- trate French first line trenches. In Champagne the French have captur- ed German trenches.

 Over a forty mile front from the the terrific artillery duel between the British and Germans continues, but as yet no attempt has been made by either side to throw the infantry into the fighting.

SOLDIERS AND NEGROES
 IN YOUNGSTOWN RIOT
National Guardsmen in Patrol Carry
 PoIicen1cn's Clubs.

Younestown, Ohio. June 26.-Sol- diers of the Tenth regiment, ohio Na- tional Guard were patrOllinG the downtown district of Youngstown to- night as a precaution against renewal of race riOting which broke out here this afternoon between thirty guards men and a score or more of negroes. During the rioting one negro was se- Verely injured and several others badly beaten by the militiamen who say the trouble was the result of in- suiting remarks directed at them by the negroes.
 The guard patrolmen carried no guns but were armed with policemSns clubs and were under orders from Colonel William F. Love to allow nei- ther guardsmen or negroes to conere- gate on the streets. Tp until late hour there had been no further dis turbances.
 Soldiers maintain that for some time past the negroes have been perSis- tentIy insulting members of the units sent here and the resentment of the miIitiamen finally became uncontrol- Ia ble this afternoon. A large crowd of white citizens were spectators dur ing this afternoon trouble and were starting to participate on the side of the guardsmen when a cordon of po- lice stopped the encounter.

 RESULTS IN TWO DEATHS
Several Hundred Whites Invaded Me-
 gro District of Chester

Chester, Pa. July 26-Two men. a white man and a negro, were killed in race riots which broke out anew here tonight after a day of cOmpara- tive quiet About twenty others were injured Scores of persons were ar rested and the auth critics announced at 10 o'clock they had the situation
 The rio+ing, which started last night as the result of the killing William Mckinney, white man, by negroes, reached It's climax tonight when a mob of several hundred whites invaded the negro section which skirts the Del aware river. Negroes who ventured 70 retard their progress were beaten down with clubs and houses searched Tn the hope of discovering one of the suspects in the Mckinney case.
 One of tonights victims was Joseph McCann. white, 2S years of age, who is said to have been leader of the mob When he fell mortally wounded, the Invading whites were augmented by hundreds of onlookers. Several ne groes were dragged from street cars and beaten into tnsensibility. One was fatally shot Scores of shots were fired by the negroes from the windows of their homes and several white men and boys were injured.
 Shortly after McCann was killed, squad of national guardsmen were rushed to the scene Augmented by the local force and a large squad of state police, they drove the rioters from the colored section with drawn revolvers and pointed rifles.
 The negroes section was roped off after quiet was restored and a heavy guard thrown around it. Mayor Nc DowelI announced at midnight that he had the situation under control. The streets were cleared Of Ioiterers and white men were forbidden to enter the colored districts.
 Mckinney was stabbed to death at the doorstep of his home after an al-
 
 and two women According to the police Mckinney accidently brushed against one of the negro women aC he was walking home and she is said to have made several insulting remarks 10 which Mckinney replied. The four negroes are then alleged to have set upon the young man and stabbed him to death
 Several suspects were arrested in connection with the case yesterday and held without bail for court. Anoth- CT squad of state police was sent here tonight at the request of Mayor Me Dowe1l

Washing gton, July 26.-Reports of the first selection boards to fill their quotas Tor the selective draft army are eager " awaited by Washington officials, be- cause they will give the first definite information as to the probable per centage of rejections to be expected among the ten million registrants for physical reasons or for dependents.
 All available statistics indicate a probable rejection of one in every four for physical disability. Tn particule F localities this will vary greatly, but the average for the whole country is ex- pected to be between 25 and 30 per cent. There is no available data as to dependents, however, or as to how many must be excused under indus trial exemptions.

FRENCH MAILS FREE
 TO AMERICAN SOLDIERS
If United States Cooperates Members of Expeditionary Force Will Benefit.

American Training Camp in France, July 26-(By the Associated Press)- The French government has extended to the American soldier free use of the French mails, so, if similar arrange ments are made in America, the mem bers of the United States eXpeditionary force can send letters or post cards home without any charge whatever. If it is desired, there is no doubt that similar postal arrangements can be made with Great Britain, for such rec iprocity exists between Great Britain and France already.
 The soldiers retoiced today over the arrival of a large consignment of to- bacco from America. French ciga- rettes, cigars and smoking tobacco have not appealed strongly to the American soldiers and there was a temporary shortage of the familiar brands from home.
 Y M. c. A. headquarters have been established near the base and it is ex- pectd that the work of this organiza- tion will be expedited rapidly, the need of amusement for the men being al ready markd.
