REsERvINC THE

FOR THE COMING CHEAT oFFENs-
I'VE ON THE ENEMY.
GENERAL FOCH'S new PLAN
English and French Can Hold the
Huns While the Americans Get
Ready to Deal the Kaiser
Crushing Blow.
CBv j. w. r. Masonry


New York. May 13.-America's
greatest army now in France will not
be used by General Foch for defensive
operations. but will be held back for
action when the allied Generalissimo
decides the time has come for the
largest allied offensive against Won
IIindnburg.
The fact that the rapidly increasing
OF overseas strength Of the Americans
Is not accompanied by the enlargement
of American sectors in Picardy and
Flanders undoubtedly means that Gen
eral Foch wants American participa-
ton during the present period of the
fighting TO be put on strictly and
limited scale and chiefly for the NOR
ale effect.
English and French Can Hold.
This attitude of General Foch dem
onstrates that he believed that the
defensive powers of the Anglo-French
forces is sufficient to prevent the Ger
man forces from doing any consider
able damages along the western front.
The American forces therefore ac-
cording to General Foch's plans will
be thrown away by being engaged
in the defensive operations but will be
held back and will be used when the
proper time comes for the purpose OF
having the honor bestowed upon them
of having delivered the next positive
blow for Democracy against the Kais-
er's forces.
Await the Full Power.
1t is certain that General Foeh will
not be tempted to use the Americans
in any great operation until the Amer
lean power has reached its fullest
General Foch has shown high UNI
usual qualities of patience and evi-
dence of temptation. He can there
fore be trusted not to waste any
American in series OF secondary
It is unlikely that this blow will fall
on the Germans in the Picardy or the
Flanders front as the Lorraine front

sibility of successes.
The sector of Metz will probably
present the first great victory for the
United States.
Inclined to Doubt Statement
Washington, May 13.-Doubt as to-
the accuracy of the statement, said TO
have been expressed by the British
war cabinet today, that the American
troops are to be held pack of the lines
until their forces reach their most
powerful strength, was expressed here
today by Lord Reading, British AM
bassador
A statement was also made by the
Ambassador in which he declared that
he believed that there had been no
such announcement made without the
Of the Prime Minister'S or
war cabinet" The statement today in
Dictated chat there had been change
in the military policy of the allies.

Social Features of Gathering.

With the utmost reverence and de-
votional spirit. the Sixty-sixth Annual
Convention of the Diocese of Iowa
opened its sessions with services on
Sunday morning at St James church,
that were well calculated to give the
key note of the entire session. The
religious features were also intermix-
ed with patriotic note that was fully
in keeping with these momentous times
and. which shows the keen feeling
that the church has in this conflict in
the interest of right and not might
among nations
At 500 a. M, the Holy Euchrist was
celebrated by the Rt. Rev. Harry S.
Longley d. d. OF Des Moines, the Co
Adjutor Bishop of Iowa and at 900 a.
m, the Holy Euchrist was again cele-
brated by the Rev. Webster Hakes OF
Muscatine, for the benefit of those
who came in late from the surround
ing localities. Many of the clergy ar
rived on Saturday by train but a good
ly number of laymen and the mem
bers of the Ladies' Societies came to
Oskaloosa by the auto route.
First Public Service.
At HOO a. M, the more public SER
vice was held and in this the Rt Rev.

export. the Senior Bishop of Iowa
was in charge. The Epistoler was
the Rev. William Pence James of Ma
son City and the Gospeler. the Rev
Edward II. Rudd ID. d. of Fort Madi-
son. The sermon of the hour was de-
livered by the Rev. George Craig
Stewart ID. d. of Evanston, Illinois,
and it was based on Romans S:37
For we are more than Conquerers
through Him that Loved us and gave
Himself for u.s." The discourse en-
bodied not only patriotic moral les
sons for the Nation, but also for the
church and the individual and was re

and nobier life.
During the service, the Rector Rev.
Arthur M. Lewis, publicly presented
to Robert Gilbert. one of the choir
boys, a Gold Cross as a token of his
fidelity and punGtuality in his choir

features of the services were also
worthy of note and the vocal solos of
Miss Helen Kalbach during the Offer
tory. and also in the celebration of
the Communion, We're greatly appre-
ciated. The entire service was an
and help to all who at
tended and enabled them to go out TO
the duties of life with a brighter hope
for the future.

day so filed with inspiring and up-
lifting progress, the trend of the SER
vice took the form of Patriotic
meeting and from the Professional at
the opening, led by the emblem of the
church and followed by the National
ensign. the entire service was given
to an emphatic expression of the great
challenge that was confronting the
church, during the present Interna-
tional conflict
Bishop Fl. S. Longley of Des Moines
Moines presided and aside from the
addresses the music filed with patri-
otic fervor, was notable feature of
the program. America" THE Battle

with hearty good will During the

church of ,Ottumwa, and ii received
mark recognition.
SCNCIdl lUSpiTIH9 AIMS
The first speaker of the evening was
the Hon. George F. Henry of Des
Moines, the Chancellor OF the Diocese,
who gave vigorous and helpful talk
using the blessings and privileges that
we enjoy in Liberty" as his central
thought This was followed by an
unusually fine address by Rev. George
Craig Stewart, of st. Lukes church,
Evanston. Illinois, and he feelingly
referred TO the determined purpose
that enthuses the soldier of the Camp,
in his positive aim to win this war
Dr. Stewart is one of the strong men
of the church and speaker that is in
large demand all over the country.
Bishop George Allen Beecher D. d.,
of Western Nebraska, was the closing
speaker and he emphasized the fine
Spirit of conservation and self sacri-
fee that was being brought out by the
manifold influences of the war and
how out of this trial and conflict, will
come a finer and higher conception
of life and larger opportunity for
Christian usefulness throughout the
church at large. Owing TO the late
neas of the hour, the address was
brief. but throughout was given the
closest attention.

Convention Candle Liahts.


While it showed little for the oc-
casion this morning, no one who has
attended any of the sessions can say
the convention is frost.
During Sunday quite large mum.
Der came to Oskaloosa from Newton,
What Cheer and Ottumwa and other
points, by automobile, and shared in
the helpful and inspiring influences
Of the convention.
The Oskaloosa convention is mark
ed with the presence of three bishops,
an unusual thing in Diocesan meet
ings They are Bishops Morrison
and Longley of Iowa, and Bishop
Beecher of Nebraska.
1t is the general comment of all in
attendance that st. James church is
one of the most churchly and attract
tive buildings in the Diocese. Even
DR.. Stewart Of Evanston was loud in
his praise of the structure.
1t seems natural to have Prof. Chas.
Griffith of Penn college at the organ
again. For the past year Mr.. Crit
fifth has been organist at Trinity
Church, Ottumwa, making the trips
back and forth every Sunday.
The lay delegates from ST. James
church are W. F. Little, George Kali
bach, J. H. Pickett and w r. Lacey.
Mr.. Lacey is serving in the place of
Sam Green of New Sharon, who be.
cause of damage to the telephone lines
in the recent storm had to stay with
his exchange.
Having the Presbyterian ladies'
serve the convention lunches at their
church was happy thought on the
past of Rev. Lewis, host of the con-
yention. 1t relieved the ladies OF the
parish of lot of work, enabled them
to devote more time to the meetings,
and enjoy a neighborly hospitality
that was inspiring to both churches.
Rev NJ. l.. TAFT, Rector of Christ's
Church, Waterloo, was drafted by
the Methodists Sunday TO preach for
them in the absence of Rev. L. M.
Grigsby, who was called to Ottumwa
to help dedicate new Methodist
church. Like all drafted men, he
soon caught the spirit of the occasion
and delivered fine sermon for "the
brethren"
John w. Norris, of the Sioux City
Journal, is a lay delegate who is al
most persuaded to lay down the edi,
torial typewriter and take up the min
isterial robes. In thusN"falling from
grace" he has an inspiring example
before him in Rev John W. Dysart OF
Dubuque, who was once good news,
paper man in ST. Paul and is now an
able minister and speaker as his work
in the Dubuque Parish, and in the
grand lodges of Masons and Elks. will
attest Mr.. Norris is no relation to
Fritz Norris, of the Marshalltown
Times-Republican, but he has him
skinned" in size, and well wager
our last winters hat can beat him
singing. Mr.. Norris says Harry Nc
Kama, formerly of the Herald staff
is now city editor OF the Tribune, the
Journals contemporary in Sioux City
and is doing good work there.
