request that the seven great war work
agencies are consolidating their efforts

dicated his desire that the seven or.
carnations combine their campaigns
and thus secure the greatest possible
degree Of cooperation.
It Is my judgment" said the presi-
dent, "that we shall secure the best
results In the matter OF support Of
these agencies, II the sevsn societies
will unite their forthcoming appeals

OF the United War Work drive
with all the colleges in Mississ-

q large interesting audience the
different phases of the war work
drive, and told what the seven
different religious organizations
are doing for the soldiers on both
sides of the Atlantic ocean. At

have begun to be a bore Some of the older
men in the newspaper business remem-
Der the time when Mr. Hale, then
pastor in a church in a small town of
Massachusetts, published in a high

one of the most influential daily papers
of the country. The latest revelation
concerning him is that while acting as
representative of the Hearst publca-

envoy of the German government into
the Balkans with a passport which
freed him from all inspection and gave
him absolute freedom in the name of
