Crowds Attending Meeting

The Mathis-Vessey evangelistie serv-
ices are being attended by crowds that
fill the church each evening. Last night
Mr.. Mathis spoke on "The Devil and
How He Works U.s." In his general
summing up of the present day situa-
tion, he said that one of the sins of the
present day was that of self-ease, or
that of taking things too easy, regard
less of the needs of others. He also
called attention to the fact that many
are willing to serve God as long as it
does not interfere with their plans and
easy mode of living, but not willing to
make sacrifices. Another thought was
that every person was either the EN-.
bodiment of the spirit of God or that of
the spirit of the devil.
This evening the special music win be
furnished by male quartette consist
ing of John II. Todd, Frank S. Barton,
Bernard Vessey and Richard Barton.

johnson and six other members of the
Portland ice hockey crew handed the
Seattle Metropolitans a to lacing at
the arena here st night. The game was
one of the fastest and toughest ever
staged on the local ice.
The melee started like the dinky pop
of fire cracker but before the final
was reached the contest was raging like
the second siege of the Dardanelles.
The game threatened to end in free
for all fight in the final period when
Captain Foyston, of the Nets, made a
swing at the puck which was just ahead
of Murray, the Portland goal keeper Is
nose. Murray had fallen in an effort to
prevent goal.
There was a clashing of clubs and ex-
changes of discourtesies before Referee
Mickey Ion sent the two principals to
the bench.
The stonewall defense of the visitors
proved problem hard for the Seattle
team to solve. Time after time the To-
Gals brought the puck down to the last
line of defense only to have it carried
back to their own goal posts. Harry
Holmes, Seattle's net guardian was in
clined to get too far away from home
and this fact at least cost several
goals

seamen that Germany has perfected a
type OF submarine fitted with a special

further belief that mines of this sort
have been laid in all English harbors,
even in the mouth Of the Thames.

warnings from the Cape Race wireless
station ON his trip to this country tell
ing him to be ON the lookout for Ger

Two ships, reported TO have sailed for
this country within the last month, have
not been heard from since they left

Georgia, both large vessels Other
smaller vessels are overdue.
New York shipping circles attached

brought by the Nieuw Amsterdam in

They regard the mine layers as Ger
