The spacious newly renovated dane
ing pavilion at Lordship is fast be-
coming the most popular in the city

floor is the largest and finest in the
state and that the unique location of
the pavilion makes dancing always
cool and comfortable. There will be
dancing Wednesday, Friday and Sat-
urday evenings. Special dance cars
leave Main and Golden Hill streets at
$3.50 and. ais p M for the pavilion.

MINISTER'S OPPOSE
CHURCH CLOSING RULE

Washington. ID. c., Oct. 1S.--At a
meeting of the Pastors Federation of
Washington, resolution was adopted
protesting against the closing Of
churches on Sundays The resolution
protests against the suspension OF pub
lie worship on two grounds:
Because it Is contrary to the high
est interests of the community a.
tending distinctly 10 weaken the NOR
ale of our people.
Because II ccates dangerously near
to an infringement upon the free ex-
ercise of religion guaranteed to Amer
lean citizens by the first amendment
to the constitution"
In conclusion the resolution takes in
question what is called the scientific
warrant" for the closing OF the
churches, declaring:
We are aware that the order is JUS
tilted as an extraordinary measure
taken for the public safety. but we
have a right to demand that so vast
and so dangerous q power should only
be exercised when 1t Is clear beyond
question that the emergency justifies
| IL and that the measure ordered Is
adapted to abate the evil. This. Wa
submit. Is not true In this case. II 10.
| In fact. very doubtful Il II has scien-
the warrant, and we, therefore. feel
Justified on every ground IN protest.

Lille Plundered
And Ruined When
Huns Are Rulers
-Four Years of Continuous Atrocities
Terminated by Victorious Ad-
vance of Allied Armies.

our Years of Continuous Atrocitit
Terminated by Victorious Ad-
vance of Allied Armies.
London. Oct. 1S.-A graphic
description Is given of how the
Germans set about the destrnc-
ton OF the industries Of Lille.
which was an important point of
the French economic life.
Not only did the invaders COM
mandecr all stocks, but they rip
ped the machinery out of the fac
tories and shipped II to GcrTManl.
There are cases III which France.
upon buying machinery in Swift
zeriand. has found that 1t was part
OF the loot taken from the fac
tories OF Lille and sold by the
Germans.
No doubt. many more OF these
machines have been set up in
Germany TO Ia used after the war.
They sought destroy not only
for thes prcsc5if but the future
of the town and fits work.
Their atrocities against the peo-
pie of Lille were on "A par with
general policy.
From its bombardmcnt and
capture. on October II, 1914. to
the date of its liberation they did
not cease I'm their systematic rob-
bing. numbering and insulting of
the city's unfortunate inhabitants.
In one month, November, 1914. II
had to pay contributions" of
5000. 900 francs.
Once when batch of French
prisoners were marched through
the town. the townspeople gave
them wine and tobacco. For this
act of compassion the whole town
was punished, a part of the pun
ishment being a fine OF 500 900
francs.
1t was a time when the doors
Of houses were locked and young
girls were arrested ON trumpet
up charges and outraged In the
prisons To which they were taken.
But the liberation OF the allied
territory ~ now @Sss~ sight. as<aek- a
stop Is being put to their destrlc-
ton and crime during IA period
as dreadful as any In the history
of war.
