AEROPLANES AND
GUNS NEEDED TO
ASSURE PEACE
Rev. Titus Lowe, Pastor of
First Methodist Church, Tells
of the War Conditions
in Europe.

The poison of Prussianism has
gone far into the hearts of the Ger
man people," said Rev. Titus Lowe
to a congregation that packed the
First Methodist church Sunday
morning.
Il am compelled to take back the
statement that | made a year ago
that the true heart of the German
people is not backing this war of
frightfulness," added Rev. Mr.. Lowe.
THE prisoners captured by the allies
now actually believe in German kul-
tur. 1t has ripped the heart and brain
of the masses.
'Intolerable arrogance has been
the reply to these stupid Americans,
whom the Germans believe do not in
tend to fight in earnest, but who wor-
ship gold, as the kaiser puts it. The
dream of the Germans is not yet
over"
There Doing His Bit.
Rev. Mr.. Lowe returned last week
from France, where he witnessed the
true conditions of war while doing
his bit to make the burden of the
soldiers easier. Sunday nights for sew
eral weeks ne will tell of his expert
ences.
"Watchman, what of the night?"
was the text on which the sermon of
Rev. Mr.. Lowe was based. The op-
preston of the lsraelites by the
Syrians, who also had dreams of
world domination, was compared to
present day conditions.
Rev. Mr.. Lowe has little hope that
the war will end within the year
and he urged his hearers to prepare
themselves for the price that they
must pay for victory. He comented
upon the fact that there were no
service flags in England. The rolls
of honor bearing the names of the
dead serve their purpose and every
where show the great price that the
allies are paying.
No idea of Quitting.
"When we have sufficient aero
planes, guns, and artillery alongside
that of our allies" said Rev. Mr..
Lowe, then we shall be the minis
trants of chastisement,' and peace and
freedom will come to the world.
"In Europe there is no idea of quit
ting. No one ever talks Of peace.
"a power that attacks wounded
men, women, nurses, and doctors
cannot hope really to succeed. 1t is
no accident; it is intent. Its arro-
gance cannot and will not succeed"
Rev. Mr.. Lowe received Ford
sedan as a gift from his congregation.
ITS mighty fine looking horse"
said the minister i'll. thanking the
donors.
An admonition not to forget to
vote Tuesday at the primaries pre-
ceded the sermon.

Americans in Alaska Hear
Of Tragedy; 81 Come to Help

B., San Francisco, CAL, April =
When news of the sinking of the
transport Tuscania reached Anchor
age, Alaska, sixty one residents of
that community, many of them busi-
ness men banded together and an
nounced their determination TO en-
list.
They left Anchorage in a body with
dog teams, and, in the face Of stiff
blizzard, "mushed" their way to
Seward, II miles. They said they
made the trip in seventy-three hours,
They arrived here today in time
to participate in this city's big liberty
loan demonstration and were enthusi-
astieally cheered along the line of

"We heard but little of the wal" /"
one of the party said. Most of the
news that reached us conveyed the
impression that the war would be
over in a couple of months.
Then we heard of the sinking OF
the Tuseania and the loss OF Ameri-
can lives. That settled it. We held
meeting. Sixty-one of us pledged
ourselves to enlist-and here we are.

ion.
The German casualties in the fight

we're very heavy. At numerous places
il was possible with the naked eye to
see them forming for the attack. and
in every case the British artillery and
machine guns played havoc among
the assembling troops,
Near Hebuterne German concen-
trations were caught in machine gun
barrages on three occasions and badly
smashed
The British artillery continued to
pound the Germans all along the bat

New York, April 7.-The gratitude
of France for the part which Ameri-

high commissioner in the United
States in an address here today be-
fore the French institute. The oc-

Artillery Duels Rage on
Franco German Sector

With the French Army in France.
April THE artillery alone made
war during the night and early this
morning, but made il with great vig-
or, chiefly in the vicinity Of the juno
ton OF the French and British where
strong enemy concentrations are Wis
sible. The enemy came into action,
seemingly marking time. while taking
rest, perhaps for another forward
push here or elsewhere.
The present fighting is progressing
over a rather broken country, and the
Germans are meeting with the hercest
resistance on every inch of it and they
are open to counter attacks that are
perilous for them. The slight fuc-
tuations in the lines in the last few
days show how the French and Brit
sh are taking advantage of he natu-
raj conformation OF the ground, while
they are strengthening their defensive
lines and their artillery.

Turks Declare British
Loss HEAVY East of Jordan

London, April 7.--Advices from
Amsterdam say that the Turkish Off
cial statement OF Thursday reports
that the English forces east OF the
Jordan we're completely defeated after
suffering heavy casualties. 1t also was
claimed that the Turkish troops had
reconquered Es-Salt and were ad-
vancing on the Es-Salt- Jericho road,
compelled British reinforcements to
retreat in disorder and that they are
being presistently pursued by the
east
A war office statement characterizes
the foregoing statement as exagger-
ated and distorted. The operations to
which it refers were in the nature of a
raid in which considerable losses were
inflicted on the enemy. Seven. hun
dred prisoners were taken by the Brit
ish troops, which withdrew after
achieving their objectives. The rear
guard was attacked by some 500
Turks, who were beaten of.

Ross of the third Liberty loan honor
flag is J. H. Burton, wealthy New
York business man, who has devoted
all his time for months to developing
the nationwide system of subscrip-
ton competition represented by the
flag.
There was too little rivalry in the
last loan campaigns" said Mr.. Burton
to Secretary McAdoo. I'VE need an
emblem to designate the goal of each
community and each state"
So he was put to work and evolved
the idea of the honor flag, blue
bordered banner with white interior
field bearing three vertical blue
stripes. Each town or city which
passes its allotment Of subscriptions
will get the flag, and in the years to
come, it may be among the COM
munity's most priced relics of the
