were seats. And that's breaking a rec
ord for a Sunday revival gathering.
Rev. DR.. James Logan Gordon. pas
tor of the First Congregational
Church, delivered the dedicatory ad-
dress. His talk was remarkably i'm
pressive and reviewed the great work
of evangelists the world over, from
st. John down to Billy Sunday. DR..
Gordon paid high tribute to Mr.. Sun
day, and declared Washington is on
the eve of the greatest revival meet
ings in the Sunday campaign history.
He stressed particularly Mr.. Sunday s
remarkable physical ability. which
DR.. Gordon declared to be "unsur-
passed in all the history of preaching
and evangelism"
DR.. Gordon told of Mr.. Sundays s
particular appeal to the manhood o.
the country, and emphasized that
Americas manhood shall be made
safe and the destiny of the world for
1.OOO years to come will be made Sc
cure"
DIR. Gordon prayed for '10O0O young
men for Christ" in the Washington
campaign. He told of Billy Sundays
persistent fight in all parts of the
country against the social evil and
against intemperance, and empha-
sized that it was largely because of
Mr.. Sundays campaigning against
booze" that the nation is soon to see
national prohibition a material force.
DIR. Gordon referred to the saloon as
"a national nuisance and an individual
curse"
Many Ministers Present.
Ministers representing various de-
nominations took part in the dedica-
tiOn. among them the Rev. DR.. John

the whole negotiation is and has been
receiving the careful consideration OF
President Wilson.
The report of the Kaiser's abdica-
ton of the peace-making power to
Chancellor Won Hertling was revealed
as but another indication of the trou-

Germany. The report originated in
the editorial comment of certain we'll
controlled German newspapers on the
eve OF the Brest-Litovsk conferences.
December 20 and q. These newspa-
pers commented on the oft-repeated
claim that Hertling derives his power
not from the Kaiser but from the
Reichstag, because he consulted the

accepting his post But the State De-

Kaiser has the power to remove Hert-

Impetus for Liberalism
Growth of liberalism in Germany
will receive further impetus as soon
as peace is signed with Bolsheviki
Russia and intercourse between the
countries resumed. If then Germany
formally proposes a peace the reply
of the allies will be, as it has been SO
often, that MP peace can be signed
with the irresponsible autoCratiC gov
ernment of Germany that violated
Belgium and plunged the world into
war.
The PSYCHE logical effect of such
a reply at su ch a time is what the
high official Quoted above alluded to
when he spoke of dynamite under the
Kaiser's throne.
1t is learn ed on high authority
here that G ermany will not get
back many o the prisoners of war
taken by Russia in the early cam
paigns and numbering up to a mill
lion and a half men. They have al
ready expressed their determine
ton not to return to Germany and
Austria. Those who do return will
bring into the Teuton autocracies
rabid spirit of individualism that
will go far in further shattering
the congenital Teuton belief in au-
tOcracy.

THE CALL IF
The Orient

While the American people have
been called upon to lend and give their
money freely to advance the cause
of Democracy in Europe, the world
war has brought famine to other
peoples and another challenging call
is sounding in the ears Of democratic
America. 1t is the call Of over two
million people in Bible Lands-Ar-
menians, Syrians and Greeks of Asia
Minor.
These people, who are the hope of
civilization in Western Asia, have en-
dured, and are enduring, such suffer
ing as our American minds cannot
conceive. They have been massacred
and deported. Men have been separ-
ated from their families and ruthless
~ murdered. Attractive women and
girls have been sold as slaves or taken
by the Turks. The rest Of the women
and children have been driven into
the mountains and in the desert, and
the path over which these refugees
have gone is strewn with the ad. In
tn past two years over one million
have died from massacre, deportation
exposure and disease. But the dead
no longer challenge US; it is those
who live and can yet be saved.
The land where Christianity had its
birth is asking for a practical demon
stration of that Christianity now. All
Denominations have united to answer
this call from the East and a cam
paign has been launched to raise two
million dollars from the Sunday
Schools Of North America Every
Sunday School is asked to give a
Christmas Season offering to Armen-
ian and Syrian Relief Work.
That Wood County might do its
share, ]. F. Schmidt, president of the
Wood County Sunday School Associ-
alton, called the Sunday School of
ficers and teachers of the county to-
gether at Vesper this week to formu-
lac an organized plan by which to
make successful county campaign
for relief funds.

Wheat Showed
SPIRIT OF i. S.
Sacrifice to Ensure Allied Loaf
Greatest Single Food
Achievement.
SUFFICIENT SUPPLY NOW.
All the Nations VIII Be Able to Re
turn to Their Normal Sup
ply of White
Sread

Overshadowing all other accomplish
ments of the American people under
the leadership of Food Administration
IS the history of wheat exports in the
past sixteen months. Our wheat eX-
port program proved cOnclusively to
the world that America was in this
war from start to finish and willing to
make any sacrifice that will hasten
victory or maintain the health and
strength of people overseas, upon
whom rested the heaviest weight of
our war.
Now that pressure on ocean tonnage
is eased by the stopping of large move
ments of troops to europe, we may re-
lax our efforts to save wheat. The &C
cumulated surplus in Australia, Argen-
tine and other hitherto inaccessible
markets will become available, and
probably no more than our normal sur
plus viii have to leave this country.
We in America and the nations which
have won the world for freedom will
be enabled to eat their normal wheat
loaf at the common table of the PEG
pies of democracy.
We entered the past crop year with
wheat supply which gave us only
2OOOO,000 bushels available for ex-
port. When the crop year ended, we
had sent 141 100000 bushels of wheat
to Europe. The American people had
saved out of their normal consumption
l21 100000 bushels
A survey of export figures shows
that the conservation of flour brought
about by the wheatlesS meals, wheat
less days, substitution in our kitchens
and bakeries, enabled US to send TO
our armies and the allies 100000
barrels of white fiOur-wheat figured
as flour. Had we exported only our
visible surplus, we would have been
able to ship less than 100000 barrels
Before the LIST Of December our sur
plus had gone overseas, and an addi-
tfOnal 100000 bushels had been TAX
en- from the stock reserved for home
consumption and added to the surplus
| already shipped to the allies. 1t seem
ed hardly possible that we could bring
| our total exports above 100,000,000
bushels by July /. But in January the
late Lord Rhondda, then British Food
Controller, cabled that unless we
| could send an additional 100000
bushels he could not take RESPONSE
biIity for assuring his people that they
would be fed. The American people
responded by sending 85,000,000 BUSH
els Of wheat, saved from their home
consumption, between the first OF the
year and the advent of the new crop.
By October 10, 1918, we had already
shipped 65960,305 bushels since July
l. Absolutely the only limitation upon
| our wheat exports since the latest har-
vest has been the scarcity of ocean
| tonnage If exports continue at the
present rate, by July l of next year
we will have sent more than 23T 300
| 600 bushels to Europe
Thus are we making good America S

Europe shall be maintained

RED CROSS
FOR REFUGEES

A few months ago one of the big
gest problems confronting the Red
Cross was to find enough beds for the
refugees in France In spite of many
ingenious schemes thousands of ref
ugees were sleeping on hard floors.
So the Red Cross went into the bed
making business. In Bordeaux, Lyons
and Toulouse, situated in the timber
regions and railroad centers for large
areas in which thousands of refugees
are living, arrangements were made
to manufacture at once a special Red
Cross bed which is strong, practical,
good-looking and, including the
springs, costs only five dollars-From
