PRESBYTERIAN CHOIR
WILL GIVE CANTATA

The choir of the First Presh--er-
ian church is rehearsing the canta-
ia: Christ the Victor" by Dudley
Buck. This is TO be sung at the Yes
per service at 400 p. m. on Easter
Sunday This is the concluding work
Of a series of church cantatas, rep
resenting the chief moments of the
Christian year, by this composer.
Opening with "A prologue, the words
taken from the Biblical text of the
prophet Isaiah. it proceeds to mar
rate the incidents following the
crucifiXion, carrying the story
through the resurrection TO the as
cension. The text is practically all
from the scriptures, but is inte~-
spersed with few of the more sub
stantial hymns, in the singing OF
which the congregation is given an
opportunity TO join. Musically il IS
one of the best of the works of this
kind by this composer. The theme OF
the Messianic prophecy. with which
the cantata opens. is interviewer
throughout the work. The epilOgue
and finale, the text of which is
paraphrased from Milton, followed
by a familiar hymn tune, gives an
impressive ending to a fine work.
The choir Of Is voices is under the
direction Of l.. T. McCollum.

Effectiveness of the Allied
 Air Service

SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE, Oct. 8. The progressively increasing effec- tiveness of the allied airplane service was one of the things demonstrated to American soldiers in recent opera uons on the western front.
 The marrying Of German cavalry. marching infantry and transport by low-fying airplanes. as undertaken this spring, was the first example of really large scale counter.offensive from the air.
 The technique of this new departure has since developed rapidly, and 1t is now a deliberate method of air.fght- ing.
 Machines fly audaciously low until their ammunition is exhausted, so low that pilots have identified the regi. mental insignia of the troops at tackled, and the wheels of their air. planes have been known to skim the earth. Day and night the bombing of railways. airdromes. camps and dumps goes on, with it's simultaneous effect upon supply, communication
