Revolt Will Break Out in

.elease this American from the reduire- ments in question, and that lthe request had been granted immediately.
 For man who is apparently such an anenyk to Hohenzollernism, this editor certainly seems to wield considerable in ftuence among the military authorities.
 The German people are long suHerins, b,,t they will not stand imposition. When they learn the truth, I fully believe they viii turn upon the leaders who have so 1vickedly and so consistently decelveo them.
 Rut how will they be able to prevail against the German mailed fist? IT their emancipation depended upon thelr over throwing the army, I. should view tneir future with the utmost apprehenslon' put I believe the end will come with the co- operation of the army.
 The part that the army plays Tn reVo- lution depends entirely upon the attituoe of the officers. So long as the onicers re- main loyal, the populace would be heip- less. because the rank and file will follow their officers like sheep, as general rue.
 A SOLDIERS STORY
 One of the soldiers who had been fight- ing on the Carpathian front came back m a furlough, and what he told me illus trates very clearly the iron discipline which prevails in the German ranks
 One night we were told to go over the ton early in the morning" he said. All we had had to eat that day was small niece of black bread. We told our off, cers that we would refuse to budge out of the trenches unless we received decent food. Our threats were ignored, but that night we were given another small piece of black bread. Still we grumbled ana insisted that we would refuse to fight unless we were properly fed. The hour arrived for the advance, and when the signal was given, hungry and angry as .,.rs. we clambered over the top like a flock of sheep and went forward at the command of our officers as we had al- ways done!'
 As long as the officers remain stanch to the Kaiser therefore, little may be ex- pected in the way of successful revolu- ton, no matter how discontented and re-

The United States will not press for payment of the principal of the loans which have been made provided only the interest upon these loans is reg ularly met. All of the loans which have been made by American bankers to Great Britain, France and other nations are what may be called time loans. a date having been set for the life of them. But there is no doubt but that the American bankers will cheerfully renew these loans if asked to do so, alAough some of them will be paid off Ae maturity, as Great Britain has recently lquidated an issue of notes whose life was two years.

 l the difficulties under which 1t has operated snce our country has been at war. The demands of the government and of essential industries for increased service of the most efficient character we'll known and have been met promptly and without regard to present or future profits. {.
 Telephone service which contributes to the winning of the war has first consideration and the governments needs are given right of way over all else.
 Every patriotic American will agree that this 1t should be.
 At the same time we making every effort to fulfill our duty to our subscribers and the public. hat have not been able to do this we'll performing

 In some communities there feeling of unrest about the telephone service The response of the operators to sna not up to the five second standard of the Bell sys tem, there are delays in making repairs and installing staons and long distance connections are not established quickly as Tn the past.
 This feeling of unrest displayed various ways Some are comp blaming the company through the proper bus, ness channels others are showing imitation toward and frequently abusing operators, while many others are con denng the company their friends and acquamtances. thereby destroying the good will built up by efficient ice and fair treatment extending long period ofyears

 It Is true that our service not up to the usual Bell standard except Tn communities where there no army camps government departments or industries
 The fault IS not altogether with the operators though many of them must go to the switchboards before they trained as thoroughly as possible when the compet- ton for labor was not so keen 1t Is now.
 The slow answer to signals during the busy hours of the day IS due to the fact that there many signals to answer that some of them must wait until the operators can reach them, just as you must wait your turn line when buying ticket cashing check It is not alto geher due to shortage of operators; IS due primarily

 New telephone installations arc limited but we shall continue furnish service necessary business enterprises and to the general public long able to the equipment and supplies. How long this will be, no say It apparent, however, that the delays Tn moving and installing telephones will be greater the f ture than in the past.
 While there can be no promise of improved service, our subscribers and the general public can, with very little sacrifice and trouble, prevent further detero- ration and perhaps actual improvement in tho service.
 Thousands of useless calls made every day. Ser- ants and children make unnecessary calls Housewives pay social visits the telephone and employees engage Tn idle conversations Thousands of calls made to ask Information for numbers already listed in the directory to ask the time of day.
 If these calls were eliminated the service would most likely be improved certainly it would remain as good as at present.

Obituary--Asling

Harvey r. AslinS was born octo-
Der 10, 1898. Here he has lived
practically all his life except at
times when he was away in search OF
health. He was an able young busl-
ness man and reliable in every par
ticular. He was converted October
90. 1907. and united with the Bap-
tist church, November 5, of the same
year. Harvey was very faithful in
his attendance upon church and sun
day school as long as his health per-
mitted. He was a true Christian,
faithful friend, loved by all who
knew him. He has now departed to
be with his mother who preceded him
two years ago to the better world,
and with Christ who loved and gave
Himself for his and our redemption.
He leaves to mourn his loss three
grandparents, his father, John AS
ling and many close relatives and
friends. May the consultations of our
gracious heavenly Father be theirs.

obituary-Mrs. Elizabeth f. Jones

Obituary-Mrs. Elizabeth Il. Jones
Miss Elizabeth e. Snider was born
near Carlinville, Macoupin county,
Illinois, on January 80, 1S43, and
died at her late home in Abilene,
Kan, August 10, 1918, being aged
rs years 6 months and 10 days at
the time of her departure. Miss
Snider grew to womanhood in her
native community and was united in
marriage with Geo. F. Jones on Au-
gust 18, 1860, and to this union
was born one son. T. M. Jones OF
Abilene, who remains to pay the last
tribute of love and respect to his
mother. Her husband who was a
veteran of the Civil war died May
10, 1917, and Mrs. Jones has grad
ually failed in health and strength
since his departure until she peace
fully fell asleep after a few days OF
more rapid decline preceding the
end. In early life she was convert
ed and united with the Baptist
church and has lived an active Chris
tian life until growing infirmities re-
stricted her outward activities but
did not diminish her personal faith
and growth in grace and virtue. She
was of retiring disposition and
found in her home and family her
chief satisfaction and gave it all the
love and devotion of a model wife
and mother. A wide circle of friends
and neighbors mourn a personal loss
as both Mr.. and Mrs. Jones were
known far and wide for their kind
ly dispositions and readiness to serve
at every call of need or sorrow in
all the community during their lives.
Mrs Jones was a member of the
local w. r. c. and that organization
attended the funeral in a body as a
mark of their esteem and respect
for the family. Mrs. Jones leaves
one son, L. M. Jones ana TWO grdnu-
sons, David Milton Jones with the
army in France, and George L. Jones:
also one brother, Daniel Snider of
Abilene. The funeral services were
held at her late home and were con-

RAY KELLY INJURED
IN THIRTY FOOT FALL
Ladder Broke When Man Was at
Second Story

Raw Kelly, a painter employed py
A. r. Elwick, was seriously injured
this morning when he fell thirty
feet, landing on his right side and
dislocating his right arm at the ell
bow. While the dislocation OF the
arm is serious. the many other
brnises and cuts which Mr.. Kelly
received, are causing him much pain.
Kelly and Elmer Folk were at
the Garfield school putting in win
dow glass on the second story. The
glass must be put in from the out
side so the two men fixed up a scat
fold which they could use in put
ting in the windows. Kelly and
Folk were carrying large plank
up to the second story when the
accident occurred.
The two men we're on separate
ladders, carrying the heavy plank.
Just as they reached the second
story. thirty feet from the ground,
Kellys ladder broke. He fell to the
ground. landing on his right side.
Folks ladder was nearly overbal-
anced but he held tight and retained
his position. Mr.. Folk prevented
the large plank from falling on the
other by holding to it until it fell
near his own ladder. The injured
man was taken to a physician but
he is not resting easily this after
noon. His injuries may be more
serious than it is supposed at pres
