At ALL SAINTS:
Nebraska Chapter of Amer
lean Guild, With Prominent
Singers, Renders Elaborate
Church Music. }
By HENRIETTA M. REES.

The first public service of the Ne
braska Chapter of the American Guild
of Organists took place Sunday
afternoon at o'clock at All Saints
Episcopal church, under the direction
OF ]. H. Simms. organist and choir
master OF that church. For this serv-
ice the choir was augmented by the
quartet from the First Presbyterian
church, OF which George S, Johnston
isNthe director. The service. although
a religious service from a musical
point OF view, was impressive and
beautiful.
The professional beginning softly,
and rising to an inspiring climax as
the choir reached their seats, led into
the singing of America" after which
Ben Stanley, organist OF Trinity
cathedral and dean of the Nebraska
chapter, played the prelude, q devout
and prayeriul "Adagio' from the
Third Sonata by Guilmant The
"Magnihcat" in + minor by Noble,
a modern number of powerful effect,
with an fine unaccompanied portion.
Nov the Day Is Over" the we'll
known Barnby hymn, was sung after
the prayer.
The two anthems sung by the
united choirs, were the Great Day
of the Lord" by Martin, and, "Still,
Still With Thee" by Foote. The solo
parts in the latter were sung by
George S. Johnston, Mrs. Miller and
Mr.. Haverstock.
The quartet OF the First Presbyterian
church, consisting of Mr.. Johnston,
Mrs. Wylie, Mrs. Miller and A. L.
Hobbs, with Mrs. E. R. Zabriskie, or
ganist, rendered He Sendeth the
Springs Into heRivers," by Wareing,
one Of the more beautiful types of
religious music. The music chosen
was of the highest, and the careful
shadings, ensembles and musical
niceties that predominated the whole
reflected great credit upon Mr.. Simms
and others taking part, and brought
out the religious beauties of the organ
and choral compositions.
The Rev. DR.. Mcknight read the

Drinker Must Tell Who
Supplied His Liquor

Sioux Falls, SD, Dec, 10.-(Spe-
cial)-Judge Jones Of the state circuit
court Of this city in a case coming
before him to test the constitution
alty of an important provision Of the
statewide prohibition law, has rem
dered decision to the effect that
man arrested for intoxication can be
forced to tell the name of the person
from whom he procured the liquor.
The case before Judge Jones was
the outgrowth of the case Of John
Thomas Brown on the charge of be-
ing intoxicated. When Brown refused
to tell where he procured the liquor,
he was sent to Jail for contempt. His
attorney sought his release on ha-
beas corpus proceeding, contending
that for Brown to furnish the in
formation sought by one of the Of
fcers would tend to incrimiriate him.

Wayne Voss, 4-year-old son of Mr..

An organized band of hard coal
thieves are operating in Beresford and
vicinity. The thieves evidently are
equipped with wagons in which to
haul away the stolen coal. Thus far
many tons have been stolen from
coal cars. Owing to the high Price of
hard coal and the unusual scarcity, it
is feared that in many cases it will be
necessary to~place guards over the
cars OF coal when they stand over
night in the railway yards waiting to
be unloaded.

SOME INCIDENTS OF
HALIFAX DISASTER

Halifax, Dec. 9.-An Associated
Press dispatch from Pittsburgh, tell
ing of munition plant explosion
there, was coming over the leased
wire of the Canadian Press at five
An,inutes after 9 o'clock Thursday
morning and the operator here had
just copied the word explosion"
when the building rocked with the
conclusion from the explosion OF the
munitions ship. Reading faster than
he wrote. NJ. L. Backer, the operator,
was getting "the cause of the ex-
plosion has not been determined" I"
when the shock occurred, but while
the typewriter was trying to Jump
away from him, Backer finished the
sentence. That was the last word
that came for six hours.
Less than an hour later Backer en-
tered his home to find his baby in
cradle safe under blanket which was
covered with shower of glass. His
wife was, severelN injured. Part Of
she'll, weighing Is pounds, had
ploughed through the wall OF his
home, two feet above the place where
the baby slept.
. The Halifax Herald was informed
today by Canadian government rail-
way officials that message came over
the wires a minute sbefore the ex-
plosion occurred. 1t was from Vim
cent P. Coleman, the operator at Rich
nond station directly overlooking the
scene OF the collision, and read:
Coleman's charred body was found
that night. i

Government Issues Denial

Washington, D. G., Sept. 29.-Thcre
is no truth in widely circulated state
ment that the government expects &c
take food supplies from any family.
Both the food administration and the
department of agriculture join in
statement to counteract what seems to
be deliberate propaganda to the ef-
feet that the government intends to
take from every family all canned
goods put up in excess of 100 quarts.
This is only one Of the variations of
the rumor, which has been widely cir
culated. Another statement is that
the Government has been urging the
canning, drying and preserving of
fruits and vegetables so that they will
be in convenient form for the govern.
ment to handle and transport when it
takes them away from the people.
Further elaboration is that these goods
are to be taken away from the Amer
lean homes and shipped to England.
In one instance motorist stopped
at farmhouse to fill the radiator of
his automobile. In the course of con
versation he casually inquired whether
the farmers family was canning all the
surplus fruits and vegetables in order
to help conserve the food supply. He
was informed that the farmer was not
doing this because the government in
tended to take all the canned goods
away except small part of it actually
needed by the family itself.
The authorities state emphatically
that no cuch oourea hoe ax,ar haan oon
templated by the Government. On the
contrary, both the Department of Agri-
culture and the Food Administration
are strongly urging housewives to can
and preserve, especially at this time,
all surplus fruits and vegetables in
order that the households themselves
may have cheap and plentiful supply
of food

There are doubtless many patriotic
Americans interested in the conserva-
tion of wild life who have pondered
deeply during the past few months their
duty toward the organized movement
for such conservation in view Of the sit
uation the country faces. Admittedly,
there are many activities, worthy of all
praise, which must be abandoned during
the course of war.
Is conservation one of these2
That question must be answered by
the American people, but we believe
their Judgment will be that all forms
of conservation of natural resources are
more necessary in times of war than
when the country is at peace.
Money Expended.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars have
been spent in the past decade in this
country in initiating conservation meas
ures having to do with the nation Is re
sources, and the activities thus initiated
have been in most instances but fairly
brought under way. To abandon these
means almost total loss of the large
sums that have been expended; it means
that nearly all the work of preparation
must be done over, once peace comes
again. We think that a single nlustra-
tion will make clear the fact that there
must be no let up in this work.
Conservation came as a specific to a
country depleted through waste of it's
natural resources. No physician would
counsel in any circumstances the abrupt
breaking off of course of treatment
designed to make normal human body
depleted by years of unnatural drain.
Does the ease of a country sick from
depletion differ one whit from that of
an individual suffering from the same
eausef
Every stroke in the cause Of conser-
walton makes the nation more fit to
wage a winning fight.

Insect Ravages.

Conservation of wild life means frs
and foremost protection and increase o.

ficient through unrestrained slaughtel
in the past) without which the raising
of food crops and the continuance Of
our forests would be impossible.
The annual crop loss from insect raw
ages alone exceeds 81 100000, 900; These
are the figures of the United States de
partment of agriculture.
Conservation of food is the world 4
greatest problem today.
Without crops we cannot have food.
Without birds we cannot have crops
These facts cannot successfully be de
MED. They impel the conclusion that
for every dollar spent in the protection
of bird life before the war, at least
double the amount should be expended
now.
Let sober-minded Americans ponder
there statements. If they will, we be-
lieve that they will give more generous
ly than they have in the past of time,
energy and money in support of organ
izations such as the American Game
Protective Association, which is work
ing increasingly, intelligently and sue
cessfully to increase the wild life Of
our country.
Five Million Sportsmen.
There may be some willing to admit
the sound foundation of our reasoning
who will argue that the case of game is
different and that protective efforts
should cease in so far as it is concern
ed while the war is on.
Such as these are labOring under the
impression, fairly widespread in this
country, that the major part played by
game birds and mammals in this coun-
try is as sport to comparatively small
number of men of wealth. That is not
true. Approximately 100000 men go
into the game covers of this country
every year for sport. In Pennsylvania
alone 100000 hunting licenses are issued
every year, and in New York the num-
Der is not greatly less. In the compare
lively small state of Connecticut more
than $4,000 licenses were issued last
year. These figures show that the men
Of moderate means largely predominates
in that section of our population de-
voted to shooting.
