of the cooks was made.
But even before n sample could be
taken an angry officer stormed the

of the men who had laid Illicit hands
on ton of foot powder for which he
had successfully indcnted n week be-
fore. Over the fate of the good things

But Two Civil War Veterans Attend

BM SnHcinl Ent.re nondent

By Special Correspondent.
TOTTENVILLE, May 27-An i'm
pressive service was held for the
Grand Army Of the Republic at the
memorial last night at st. Paul's Meth
odist Episcopal church. There were
but two members of Lenhart Post No.
SO, able to be present and they occu-
pied the front seat in the church.
Members Of the Police Reserve Fifth
Ward Branch of the Red Cross and
Boy Scouts acted as an escort to the
old veterans, whose lines are seen to
thin more and more each year as Me-
mortal Day approaches.
Rev. j. F. Bindenberger, pastor of
the church, preached the sermon, fol-
lowing brief addresses by Charles A.
Marshall and Albert H. McGeehan,
two of the four minute men speakers
here.
Mr.. Marshall. who is chairman of
the four minute men, was the first
morale of the army. He paid a
tribute to the Grand Army and told OF
the grand work that was done by
those men in that time and what was
being done now to keep up the morale
of the army today.
Mr.. Mcclellan spoke of the work
of the Red Cross and what it was do
ing 10 AID and relieve suffering both
in the camps and at the front. Rev.
Mr.. Bindenberger gave a brief talk in
which he took his subject from the
thirtieth chapter Of First Samuels
and the twentieth verse. He spoke Of
the battle Of Gettysburg, reviewing
that great struggle which proved to be
the turning point in the Civil War
and said that the present strife would
be won in almost the same manner.
The pastor spoke of the boys who
went away yesterday and referred to
the service flag hanging in the church
that more stars had been added for
those that had gone out from there
to fight to make the world safer to
live in. He predicted that in 1920
this would be saloonless nation and
would be safer for the boys to live in
when they returned.
Mrs. Bindenberger and Miss Queenie
Trafford each sang a solo during the
service and at the close the congrega-
ton sany my Country 'Tis of Thee"
Each of the two veterans were pre-
sented with bouquet of flowers and
other flowers will be sent to those
veterans who were unable to be pres
ent. The collection taken was for the
Methodist War Council.
