ATTEND COMMUNITY SING
Selections by Stapleton and Cornet Solo by Memoli
 Among Features

Yesterdays community sing in Capitol park at 5:3O P. m. was one of the most enjoyable of the outdoor series. The att tendance was very large-larger than that of the Sunday previous It would have been strange were it otherwise, for the weather was ideal and the programme was particularly attractive.
 Charles Bartlett, the community direc- tor, led the songs for everybody with characteristic vim and the people s chorus responded with uncommon zest
 Philip Memol! played as a cornet solo a standard sacred composition. The ap- plsuse was hearty and prolonged.
 Erie Stapleton, the baritone soloist, was enthusiastically received in his double number and in response to an encore sang with fine spirit the "Marseillaise"
 Memolfs band rendered many choice numbers. Among those especially appre- ciated were 'Jerusalem, the Golden,' the overture to "Pique Dame and the ever popular La Pa1oma"

WOMAN INJURED BY MOTORCYCLE SCOUT NEAR EAST LAKE PARK
Officers Give Chase to Two Speeders and Accident Follows-Injuries
 to Woman Not Serious

While chasing two speeders on First ave- nue, passing East Lake park last night about e:3c oclocK, Motorcycle Officer De- Groat struck Mrs. J. E. Benton, Boyles, with the handlebars of his machine. It is understood that she was not seriously injured by the blow but mounted a pass ing street car ana returned to her home According to Officer DeGroat, in com pany with his riding partner, Officer Ed die Burges, who was on machine slightly behind Officer DeGroat, they were running about 45 miles per hour after two automobiles which they allege were racing. Fred Hoskins, aged II years, 1880 Catherine street. Fairview, was driving the Chevrolet and J. E. Friel, 4729 First avenue, was in charge of the Ford car. They were both apprehended and placed under bond
 It appears that the two cars first scat tered the crowd coming out of East Lake park to catch cars to town and that the people had surged back into the road again to watch the speeding cars dis appear down the road and did not see the approaching officers on motorcycles. Officer Burges, who was slightly in the rear of DeGroat, was forced to run his machine clear into the park on the ruins of the old dance pavilion, which was de- stIoyed by fire recently, to avoid running directly into the crowd.

FRENCH PEOPLE ARE PRAISED BY DR. HALL AT LYRIC SERVICE
Indomitable Spirit of French Rides Over All Obstacles. Morale of Soldiers the
 Theme of Address

A crowded house greeted Dr. Walter Hall of Camp Mcclellan at the Lyric last night when he spoke of the Morale or the French Soldier" as he saw it last year. Morale" he de- scribed, lis the something divine in men, intangible but real with untold possibilities the thing that keeps the armies of the allies united for the glorious cause of ultimate victory for decency and right"
 Dr. Hall paid tribute to the French people, as the happiest people on earth in spite of their sad plight, poverty and bereavement after four years of warfare. ''The indomitable spirit of the French rides over obstacles said pr. Hall, develops great things out of the small material left them. They are veritable reservoirs of resistance and power; they will do or die, and that spirit, too, pervades both soldiers at the front and civilians back home. The men are better for the sufferings and hardships; they have been purified. cleansed.
 ."There are more white crosses in the graveyards. than houses in the vil- lages, yet the people in France are cheerful and hopeful They want not pity, neither do they need it. They are fighting to the death for democ- racy, which is quality of the heart, not of the intellect. A thing which makes men see things in common in the large, although differing in the nonessentials. This war has one great ideal, decency and right, against in- decency and wrong. That is the big issue: all other things arc of minor importance
 The realization for absolute unity Is apparent above all else to the allied armies, there is one line composed of the different nations, but just one line, and neither dissension nor discord must get into the ranks to disrupt that great line. There is one army regardless of nationality"
 pr. Halls personal "reminiscences brought out the spirit of the French toward the American soldier and the kindness and courtesy with which he is treated; they feel that through the American army and navy victory will at last be achieved.
 Two things pr. Hall emphasized especially in regard to the morale of the allied armies, the writing of cheer full letters to the boys and eliminating all painful news from home. The other was in regard to the religious life in connection with Y. M. c. A. work. say ing in part: There is no such thing as denomination in the trench life. We have forgotten theology and dogma for God and realities. The morale of our armies is the thing that is going to carry the flag across the Rhine"
 At the temple at the morning service pr. Hall spoke on the 'Audacity of Life, contrasting the French and American attitude toward life. "The French have the audacity of a free mind. new thoughts. idealisms, spirit ual and an intellectual freedom which cuts loose from all theories and dog mas which cannot be reasoned out" be said. While they are slow to take up new things in a material sense. being far behind the Americans in the use of applied inventions, whereas in America the reverse is the case"

Christian Friendship" Dis cussed by First Meth
 Odist Pastor
FRIENDS COSTLY, BUT ARE OF GREAT VALUE
Frateral Orders Get Their Principles From the Bible-They Are De- livery Wagons; the Church

"Henceforth I call you not servants
 but I call you friends" was
 the scripture taken from the 18th
 which pr. George R. Stuart preached Ia masterful sermon yesterday morning
 on Christian Friendship" to capacity audience.
 This was the Savior's last message with friends in which he set up Chris- tian friendship. which is one of the most brilliant and beautiful things on earth. Jesus gives us in this, the model friendship, for he does not call us servants. but friends. Friendships come from secrets among us. Girls will get together and tell each other secrets and they become friends. Young men will show each other paragraphs of letters written in feminine hand and they become friends. Robbers die for each other because they have secrets between them. Jesus told them a secret and 1t was My Father will give you, if you ask of Him in My name.' "The world is going to hate you going to persecute you-so it is all the iiioFo ueSiEdpie lhdt you hang to- gether. We don't value friendship
 enough. l am very much like mule.
 You know they are very friendly, in fact. they are clanish-let one of them get out. and it will take 8 mighty strong door to hold the rest of them. How many friends have you got that you can rely upon--that you can count upon by day or night-principally in tho nipht7
