Substantated.

Western Newspaper Union News Service,
Washington.-After the stormiest
session in years the House of Repre-
sentatives sent to the Rules Committee
a resolution demanding a thorough in
vestigation of the statement made by
Representative Hefin, of Alabama,
that Is or IA members had been acting
suspiciously. The investigation will
grow out of the publication by the
State Department of correspondence
showing that Count Won Bernstorff, for
mer German Ambassador at Washing
ton, had "slush fund" to influence
congressional action.
Representative Heflin, Howard and
others who believe some of their col
leagues have been influenced by Ger.
man money will have chance to ex-
plain their suspicious. The resolution
was introduced by Fordney, of Mich
igan. 1t calls upon Speaker Clark to
appoint committee of seven members
to make the investigation. The com.
mittee would be allowed $4,000 for ex-
penses. Its work must be finished in
10 days. Norton, OF North Dakota,
wound up a bitter attack on Hefiin and
Howard with resolution demanding
that they substantiate charges reflect.

punished properly. Both resolutions
were referred to the Rules Committee.

EccLESIASTIcALM MEMBERS
 SEND OUT MESSAGS.
In Giving, Remember Our Soldiers and
 Sailors First.

The members of the ecclesiastical section of the Connecticut war savings committee Rt Rev. Chauncey B.. Brewster, Rt. Rev. John J. Milan. Rev. Dr. Elavel s. Luther and Rev. Dr. Rockwell Harmon Potter, have sent out the following message to the people of Connectlcut:
 As we approach the Christmas an- Tliversary the real meaning of the sea son should grip us more rather than .esss intimately because of the grave tunes we are passing through.
 Christ gave the world the ideal Of a saving of life by an absolute giving of ones self.
 As a nation we are now serving as never before for the accomplishment of that ideal. We have pledged our selves, our state and our country. to may be free. free as Christ would have had it free, for every individual to make the most of himself.
 Universally we have come to ob- serve Christmas with a joyous and a generous giving. May it now, be a giving of ourselves, and may we espe- cially observe it in this spirit this year.
 May we make our gifts a personal offering. May we give especially of the fruits of our own labor, and may we make as little demand as possible upon the labor of others.
 May we avoid every kind of giving that is formal and conventional, that is cold or impersonal, that has behind it any other thought than that of joy ous and voluntary service. May we in our gifts remember first, our soldiers and sailors, wherever they may be, and so bring them into the home circles.
 F May we rejoice the hearts especially of little children, and of alisrthose, those who are sick or in want or in whom the fires of hope may be burn ing low.
 May we decorate our homes and our feasts with good cheer and Christmas s spirit, and not waste ourresources upon the tawdry, the useless and the per iShable.
 God grant that we all friends and foes alike, come into a re-birth of the spirit of service, from which a vision of just and an everlasting peace may spring.

MT. PLEASANT ST. SCHOOL
 HAS CHRISTMAS PROGRAM. Seventh and Eighth Grades Hear Ex- ceilent Talk by MT. Stanton.

Christmas programs were carried
 out in the several schools on the West
 Side Friday. With the Christina s
 spirit, a touch of patriotism was given
 in many of the programs of special
 Christmas music and recitations which
 were well rendered by the young peo- pie.
 At the Mt. Pleasant street school
 the seventh and eighth grades united in giving the following program: Music, Lead, Kindly Light, school :, Iecitation, The Perfect Day, Swim burne, Beatrice Williams; reading, An nie and Willie's Prayer, Sophie Snow, Margaret O'Briens music, Silent Night, school; reading. The First Christmas ir New England, Marion Royce, Made line Grodotslxe; music, Jingle Bells, school; concert recitation; Abou Ben Adhem, grade VII; music, All Through the Night, school; reading. The Con- version of Johnny Harrington, Helena Williams, Nellie Mccarthy, Ida Fish kin. Nola Leffin swell; remarks by Mir. Stanton.
 MT. Stanton's thought was upon Giving. While always Christmas has been the time of receiving, Mir. Stanton strongly emphasized the thought that this year more than ever before should be the spirit of giving. The program closed with singing The Star. Spangled Banner and salute to the flag.
