Children's Day.

Children's day was observed at
Trinity Sunday-school last Sunday af-
ternoon. This seems to be the day of
days with the children who attend
Sunday-school. They look forward
to it with keenest anticipation.
Quite a few United States flags
were in evidence and over the ros-
trum were crossed large Christian
conquest flag and the stars and
stripes. The pot plants, which were
placed here and there at the front
and side of the church, were beauti-
full. At th table, where the minis
ter stood to baptize four infants, rich
red SALIVA gave touch of color.
The little chairs were arranged on
the rostrum for the tiny tots who were
our entertainers. Mrs. Newton
Smoak, assisted by Misses Minnie
Aver and nellie Black and Aegina
Knight, had trained the children, who
while no elaborate programme was
undertaken, pleased us with their
sweet childish voices and recitations.
These little folks did we'll.
Rev. T. C. Odell, of the Epworth
orphanage, spoke to the congrega-
ton relative to the two hundred boys
and girls under his care. The chill
dren and the grown-ups listened at
tentively to what he had to say.
Mr. Guilds spoke of our beautiful
new Wesley Bible class service flag.
which was made by Mrs. Harry Muir
ply. Little Dorothy Johnson and
Elizabeth Jones sweetly told Bible
stories. A number of boys and girls
assisted the children by singing in
the Sunday-school choir.-One Pres

TROOPS HEALTH GOOD.
Surgeon General Issues Statement
Showing Low Death Rate.

Washington, Sept. 19.-Health of
American troops at home and over
seas continues remarkably good. The
surgeon general announced today
that for the two months period end
ing August 81, the death rate of the
entire army was 2.1S, compared with
the death rate of men in civilian life
of military age of 6.07.
Health conditions are better among
soldiers overseas than among those
at home. This is due, the surgeon
general said, to the fact that only
men of the best physical condition are
sent to France.

massacred by the Turks indiscrimi-
nately as Russians now are being eX-
ecuted. This country, voicing its
protest, called upon Turkey to put
an end to the massacres and asked
the remainder of the civilized world
to join in the protest. Germany be-
came alarmed at that time at the
attitude of the world and used its
influence, then practically paramount
in Turkey to stop the massacres, and
the Armenian people were saved for
time.
Most Serious Situation.
The situation in Russia, however,
is regarded by officials of the Ameri-
can government as even more serious
than was that of the Armenians. Rus
SLAMS are being executed by whole
sale daily upon the slightest pretext
or upon no pretext at all. The accu-
sation that a citizen, Russian or
alien, may be opposed to the Bolshe-
wiki rule actually is sufficient excuse
for his execution. 1t is known that
the Russian people as a whole are op-
posed to the Lenine and TrotZky
regime but are kept in subsection by
the terrorists. And it is to save these
loyal Russians that the United States
has called upon the civilized world
to take immediate action.
If the Bolsheviki be declared out
laws by the world, they could find no
asylum when they are Cverthrown
and could be put on trial for their
deeds. 1t might result, it is believ-
ed, in the Russian people overthrow
ing Lenine and TrotZky as they would
be conscious of the support and ap-
proval of the nations of the world.

must face an allied or American unit
of the same type which is at least Is
per cent. stronger in fighting men.
There appears good reason to be-
lieve that the German losses in pris-
oners alone since the tide turned
against them in July would reach up
toward 100000 were the truth
known. The losses in guns and 9TH
er material have not been computed.
With the steadily increasing su-
periority in both manpower and war
material at his command, military
authorities here feel that perhaps the
most striking asset Marshal Foch has
acquired in his two months of swift
and victorious counterblows is the
power to take the enemy by surprise
at will.
FOch Has Forces.
No longer need he wait for months
or even weeks to organize an attack
of more than local value. 1t is now
possible almost overnight to bring up
the men and the mobile artillery for
a thrust at any sector. Under the
direction of the great French leader
the whole front virtually is kept in
a constant state Of preparation for
attack.
But desperate as the situation must
appear to the enemy leaders on the
West front, as General March pointed
out today, it is only the main theater
of reserves for him. On every other
front the allied forces are hitting
hard against Germany's allies. The
Bulgarian army in Maceronia has
been broken and disaster of an ire
trievable nature may come to the
enemy there.
In Palestine Turkish forces have
been routed by the British. In ST.
IBERIA events are swiftly shaping for
the restoring of an eastern front
which will in its turn be front of
allied attack. In Italy there is a
flicker of activity which may mark
an Italian drive against a foe dis
couraged and still exhausted from
the Austrian failure along the Piave
this summer.
Military officials, both allied anG
American, are very cautious in pre-
dictions. They have been unable tc
conceal completely, however, their
growing elation and there is no doubt
that many of them here are looking
forward to new and greater success
before winter slows down the fight
ing.

demned in resolutions adopted yes
terday by the Americanization con-
terence with the recommendation
that the practice be stopped by leg

Senator Lafe Young, of Des Moines

Northwest where nothing but Ger

closed each day with the singing OF

The disclosures by Mr.. Young and

ITS high time" said Mr.. Young,
for this country to take steps to end

propaganda which is bringing many
children up in schools where they

that paint and advertise the German

so for hundreds of years.

If the legislative chambers of this

benefit as driving back an entire di-

THE newspapers printed in Ger

insidious propaganda, and II l mad
my way every publication in that
tongue would be abolished imme-
diately. Not only are they preach

they are doing their share in eyabl-

nor at a meeting held here on St
Valentines day, has two factions.
One wishes to stand simply behind
O'Neil on nonpartisan lines and to
make its fight for governor and
members of the Legislature. The
other wishes to get into the partisan
campaign and to endorse Scott, and
if it does that the Federation may
be called upon to endorse other state
candidates and thus become a part
of a factional contest. Another in
teresting feature is that the repre-
sentatives of the Antisaloon League,
which has not endorsed O'Neil are
here to-day and intimate that they
may not.
ScOtt's Position i'm Doubt
II looks like a general alignment
of organized dry" forces with which
O'Neil has been long identified and
"A reaffirmation of devotion to the
highway commissioner. Mr.. O'Neil
will probably go over some of the
planks of his platform with the peo-
pie here.
Before going into the conference
no one would discuss whether Scott
for the dry amendment and de-
clined to discuss the possibility of en-
dorsing him without such a declara-
ton.
Line Up For Candidates
During the day the Dry Federation
will endeavor to make a lineup on
candidates for State Senate and
House of Representatives. There are
comparatively few papers on file for
these nominations but the various
representatives have a pretty good
line on the way candidates and pos
sible candidates feel and it will be
the plan to make up q list of men
to be endorsed and in districts where
there are two or more dry" candi-
dates of the same party to endea :
Vor to get unity of action. The list
of endorsements will not be made
known until after the primary as 1t
is anticipated that there will have
to be considerable missionary work
done to get some candidates out of
the way.
Scott's possible attitude on the
amendment was the theme of much
conversation and every effort to ind
out whether he had made any
declaration was parried by the O'NeIl
men at the conference.

AIRCRAFT DELAY
H3TO4 MONTHS:
RELIEF SHORTLY
Delay Largely Due to Changes
in Specifications and
Lack of Coal

Washington, April 4. = Whether oil
not President Wilson will make any
change in the present organization in
charge of aircraft production as re-
suit Of the delays which have occur
red will depend upon the report of the
special board of investigation head
ed by Snowden Marshall, which has
been making most painstaking and
exhaustive investigation of the pres
ent status of the aircraft program
and the reasons for the delays.
This board has also been authorized
to suggest any changes at once which
1t thinks necessary to speed things
up.
The board has not finished its re-
port for the President yet, but these
are some of its conclusions:
That the aircraft program is
from three to -four months behind,
and that the chief reason for this
delay has been the many changes
i'm specifications.
That quantity production of air.
planes is under way now, with
the result that the first require
ment of our forces will be success
fully met and that the airplanes
called for under the second re-
quirement will be in France by
July.
Liberty Motor u Success
That the Liberty motor is an
entire success and has been so
adiudged by the Allies.
nat present lHulCdllOnS are
that American factories will be
turning out bombing planes in
quantities by July and will be
turning out some battle planes.
That experience has shown that
battle planes can best be turned
out by the foreign makers who
are prepared to adjust themselves
more quickly to the changes i'm
specifications made necessary in
bringing battle planes up-to-date.
For this reason the board be-
lieves that this country should
concentrate more on training and
bombing planes to supply both
ourselves and the Allies and. by
relieving the Allies of this man
ufacture, to enable them to con-
cetrate on battle planes.
That the Allies are either ahead
of the Germans on aifplane pro-
ductton or so near to il that this
country's contribution in a few
months will give the Allies un-
doubted superiority in the air.
