tant issue in the 1917 session of the

Keep Up Good Work
of Gypsy Smith Plan

Following one of the most enthusi-
astic and stirring meetings held in
the tabernacle, about $50 men, at the
invitation Of the evangelist, remained
for conference, and met Mr.. Smith
on the stand. Mr.. Smith, as sug-
gestion, threw out the thought that
the good work, which had started so
plainly through the past week, could
be carried on to good effect if the
Christian men of the city decided
that it should go forward. He said
that in other places, especially fol-
lowing the meetings, an organize
ton is formed, of laymen, whose
purpose is to reach men who do not
90 to church as regularly, nor as
often, as they should.
Immediately upon the plan being
made known, it was suggested that
all who favor such a plan meet at
the Y. NJ. C. A. at 8 o'clock Tues
day night, when the organization of
a Laymen's League viii be at
tempted.

AUTO TURNS OVER 3
TIMES-NO One HURT

v. NJ. Tribble, of the Royal Shoe
Shop, is nursing number of bruises
sustained in an automobile accident
early Sunday morning when on the
return trip to the city from Fiona
ton. Eight miles this side of Fiona
ton the car, driven by young man
named Kelson, skidded on the en-
bankment and turned over three
times. That the driver and Mr.
Tribble were not killed or seriously
injured, remains mystery. The
driver was not hurt.
Late Saturday night j. r. Hill, an
employe of Mr.. Tribble's shop, re-
ceived information that his father
was dying at Flomaton. 1t was too
late to catch the northbound train
when the news came to the city, and
it was decided to go by auto. A
car was procured, and the trip was
made without incident, although
quick time was recorded. On the re-
turn trip, after leaving Mr.. Hill with
his father, was when the accident
happened.
Mr.. Hill received word only few
hours before his father passed away
that he was dangerously i'll. He
died at 11:45 o'clock Sunday morn
ing.

GERMANY PLANS TO BE
VICTORIOUS THIS YEAR
By ASSOCIATED PREss.

Copenhagen, April Germany,
according to advices from Berlin, is
gathering every avail able bodied
man for supreme effort to bring war
to victorious conclusion this year.
Won Hindenberg considers this pos
sible. The Germans have practical
ly extended the period of service be-
yond the forty-fifth year and expect
by readjustment of their Industrial
system to release many for the battle
front service with the new and third
group of munition plants, Germans
expect to put forth the biggest and
best equipped armies they have yet
sent to the field. It was stated, how
ever, this has been accomplished
without bringing into service the age
limit to sixty-five as has been done
in Austria. 1t is uncertain whether
an offensive will be begun in east
or west front, but it is known that
a large number of new troops are
still in Germany ready for move
ment either way.
