Serve Christ In
Active WaysHere
Says Minister

we are living between two Wis
its Of Jesus Christ TO this world. !"
stated Rev. Horace Hastings in his
sermon at the Trinity church Sun
day evening. He said:
He has gone away and is com
ing lack again. Historic Christian
ity has not made much of the per-
sonal appearance Of Christ the sec
Ond time. But 10 the apostles il
was a constant source OF inspira-
ton that sustained them in their
wonderful tolls and trials apd con-
verted them into a constant and I'M
failing fontain of JOY and gladness.
Now there are only two things
that are in revelation to His second
coming that you and / are respOn-
sibIe for-service and vigilence /;
and TO be true TO our orders we
must keep this outlook of faith.
The Bible everywhere induces
the time of Christ's second coming
TO its lowest terms, holding other
things paramount; Christ does the
same thing by disappointing one
generation after another. If the
time element were the important
thing We might as well give it up
as so many practically do, and say
there is no such thing, yet He says
unto all Watch" There must then
be a more fruitful sense OF the
word.
In the midst OF and along the
line OF your works look for Christ's
coming. Ii is dreary business
looking any other way. Do you
know skepticism comes 10 people
who are simply doing nothing but
looking for Christ to return. Skepti-
Cism comes that way The time
drags as it always drags for one
who is doing nothing but sitting
still looking Oh, you say I have
been a Christian for 20, 40 or so
years and all this time I have been
looking but nothing has happened.
Nothing Will happen. my brother,
except that some day death will
strike his hands across your eye
balls and stop your looking. They
who get visions Of the coming Of
Christ are they who are serving Him
i'm active ways here"

GERMANS TRY
DECEPTION PLAN
Circulate Newspaper Among
Italians Containing FiCtic-
iouS News.

WRIGHTSTOwN. y. j.. Jan. r.
Newspapers printed in Italian by
the Germans containing fictitious
news were circulated among the
Italian soldiers previous TO the
Austro-German drive that over
whelmed northern Italy and had
much TO do in lessening the resist
ance of the defenders, declared
James whitmore, a member of the
war council of the Young Mems
Christian association, in an address
to the soldiers at Camp Dix today.
Mr.. Whitmore. who recently re-
turned from Europe. said that Ger
man propagandists had been work
ing among the Italian army three
months before the big drive. He
said he had talked with one of the
Italian officers, formerly a New
York contractor, who told him he
had been led 10 believe the war was
about over, as representatives Of the
allies and the central powers were
to meet in Switzerland TO talk
peace.
A few days later, he continued,
? 600 AuStrianS ueSerteI from
their army and came over 10 the
Italian army, telling the soldiers
that Austria was ready for peace
and that if their officers should or
der them 10 shoot at the Italians
they would refuse to carry out the
orders. if the Italians made a sim
liar agreement.
on the day before the drive news
papers purporting 10 have come
from Italian towns arrived in the
camp. the speaker said. These pa
pers had every indication OF having
been printed back home even 10
the usual advertisements. In the
papers were accounts OF women
and children rioting in various
parts of Italy and Of French sol
diers shooting them down. He said
the men had no way of knowing
that these papers were part Of the
German plot.
Mr.. Whitmore said he believed
that the news" made the Italian
soldiers put up little or no Opposl-
ton when the drive was made n
the first line.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Deliver
les over parcel posts aggregating be-
tween 5000 and 1000 miles by mo-
tor truck within the next three
months, was the aim announced by
Postmaster Gen. Burleson tonight
One chain OF motor truck routes
will link up Portland. Ne. with
New Orleans and another will cover
a large stretch OF territory in Ohio.

ton and Fruitdale, between San
Francisco and Sacramento. Calf, a
distance of 125 miles. and through
Ontario and Pomona. between Red
lands and Los Angeles. a distance
OF 76 miles.
1t is the belief OF the post ONCE
department that the operation OF
these routes and others 10 be estab-
! lished. will materially aid in the dis
/ tribution and in lowering the cost
OF food products.
The existing law does not provide

cry routes. nor does il require the
rural carriers 70 use motor vehicles.
In the star route service, how
ever, where the mail is carried un-
der contract, a recent law permits
the post Office department TO des-
! ignate the sort OF vehicles 10 be
employed. and in awarding new con-
tracts the department will specify
that motor trucks shall be employ
ed on all routes where the roads are
such as TO admit OF their use These
contracts are advertised for bidders,
and where payment asked for the
service is deemed to be excessive
the department is authorized to pro-
vide government-owned motor
trucks and to employ drivers for
the operation of these routes.
A further extension Of the en-
ployment of government-owned mo-
tor vehicles by it's adoption for the
parcel post service of the rural
routes will be made whenever con-
gress enacts a law now pending for
that purpose.
Operating under the law as Il
nov stands as applied 10 the star

ated with government-owned motor

TRACE OF KICK
IN NEAR BEERS
IS A VIOLATION
Deputy United States Marshal Says
Soft Drinks Must Contain No
Alcohol.
FEDERAL PROSECUTION PLAN
Government Action Will FOlidF In
Cases of Arrests Made by City
Police.

Deputy United States Marshal
John Coburn this morning stated
that keepers of near-beer parlors
who sold beverages containing any
percentage of alcohol are violating
the state laws applying to anti-sa-
loon territory and were liable to
, immediate arrest.
States Attorney Floyd E. Thomp-
son interpreted the state law some
time ago, stating that the Illinois
statute does not specify how much
alcohol intoxicating liquor shall
contain or how much shall be al
lowed in notwithstanding bever-
ages.
Deputy Marshal Coburn merely
stated that there should be no alco-
hol in soft drinks and that persons
arrested for violating the laws in
this connection came under the jur-
isdiction of federal courts. In 9TH
er words anyone arrested by the
Rock Island police for violation of
this kind would be turned over to
the federal marshal for prosecution
Since Rock Island became dry
May ? no one has been arrested in
this city either by the police or fed
eral agents for violating the state
dry law. However, it is understood
that analyses are being made of the
various so-called 'near-beer-non-
Intoxicating beverages now on
sale in Rock Island.

few of the local soft drink par
Tor proprietors have secured small
bottles of some preparation which
it is said gives the beverages the
required kick without alcohol
Just what those preparations are
the authorities have not learned
However, for the time being thirsty
ones, it is understood, are securing
practically the same satisfaction
out of the soft drinks now being
sold, as they formerly did from the
real stuff.
