WOMEN NOW HAVE SAME CHURCH STATUS
 AS MALE MEMBERS

Women of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, have been granted full laity rights. All laws of the church have been changed with reference to women and they will have the same status as men, according to the Rev. Forest J. Prettyman, of the execu- tive committee of the commission on war work of the Methodist Episco- pal Church, South.
 This action was taken at the gen eral conference recently held in At lanta. It developed from request sent to the conference by the Wom- en's Missionary Council. Before the changed laws can be put into practice they must be ratified by three-fourths vote of all voting in the annual con ferences. "There is no doubt about the conferences seconding the action of the general conference" said MT. Prettyman. "Women will then be eligible to all boards, to be trustees, superintendents of Sunday schools, stewards, Epworth League presidents, and all other positions held by men. Y
 The Southern Baptists adopted similar measures at their recent con- vcntion held in Hot Springs, Ark.

THE BEST INVESTMENT IN THE
 WORLD.

From whatever angle it may be an investment by an American citizen in Liberty Bonds or War Savings Stamps is the best investment in the world
 The money so invested goes to the government, which loans some of 1t to our, allies; all of it is used in one way or another to maintain, sup port, arm, equip, and make victorious our armies and our allies in Europe. Surely no American money could be put to better purpose. Here is an investment in the power and success of our country, an investment in the efficiency, strength, safety, and sue cess of our fighting men on sea and land.

MIR. YosT SECURES "BIG SCOOP

Events in the moving picture world follow each other rapidly these days with the keen competition between theatre managers over the biggest and best attractions.
 The manager of the Grand Theatre captured the big prize of the season when he secured the big edison con- tribution to American war drama, "The Unbeliever." This story, adapt ed from Mary Raymond Shipman An drews' novelette,, "The Three Things" was directed by Alan Crossland, and stars Raymond Mckee and Marguer- ite Courtot, the one as a brave and chivalrous United States Marine; the other as young Belgian girl en- mcshed iii the horror and tragedy of the great war. Supporting these principals are Darwin Karr, we'll known as a player in the early mili tary dramas; Eric Won Stroheim, and officers and men of the United States Marine Corps. A touch of realism and unquestioned military authenticity is given to this great production by the stage setting of the Marine War Cantonment at Quantico, Va, and by the participation of a regiment of Marines commanded by thoir Owp officarS
 The plot of the story contains ev- cry element of interest the appeal to national pride and patriotism, the de- velopment of mans soul a friend ship that regards self-sacrifice as a privilege and great and chivalrous love story.
 MT. Yost of the Grand Theatre is to be congratulated upon his discrimina- tion in selecting the epic photoplay of the year to show his patrons.

 New York, June 14.-- Repulsed in efforts to reach Compeigne and drive the French back in the Montdidier region, the Germans are increasing weight to their attack to the northeast of Villers- Cotterets, with the appar ent hope of forcing passage between Cotterets Forest and Compeigne For est, thus overcoming French resist ance east of the Disc river. The Ger mans offensive west of the Disc is now in it's sixth day and the enemy is making slower progress than in any other of the three offensives, since March twenty-first. Thursday the Germans made heavy attacks around Mery, but gained nothing. Along the Oise river the enemy was thrown back across the Matz and his efforts to regain the south bank of the Matz were unavailing. South of the Aisne the Germans pushed the French back about mile in two days.
 Between the southern edge of Vil- lers-C -Cotterets Forest and Chateau Thierry the Americans repulsed vio- lent attempts to drive them from re- gently won positions at Belleau Woods and Bouresches.

LONDON, Jan. 2-The new Jew ish Battalion of the British army is now encamped for its final train ing period on a hillside in the West of England Early this month it will leave for the Pales- tine front
 The battalion is under the com mand of Col J. II. Patterson, an Trishman and a great lion hunter in East Africa in the days before the war His experience in com mand of Jewish troops dates back to the Gallipoli campaign, where he was in charge of the famous Zion Mule Corps, fromed in Egypt, the Zion corps was disbanded, bat some of it's members managed to make their way to England and form the nucleus of the new Jew ish battalion.
 As at present constituted, about fifty per cent. of the Jewish battal- ion are British-born or naturaliZed. The remainder includes the mem- DGFS Cl tue Olu LlOl MGlS AOlp a large number of Russian Jews, and a curious melange from sever al allied and neutral countries. The level of physical fitness, according to the medical officers, is very high, in such matters as teeth and eyesight.
 The battalion is practical tee total, and a wet canteen which was opened in camp few weeks ago was closed in fortnight for lack of business Col Patterson himself is an ardent temperance ad- vocate Crime in the army" he said the other day, lis due to drink and nothing else. This is shown by the fact that our guard room has been empty practically from the start, and you would have to travel around many training camps to see the like. The dis used cells have been turned into bedrooms for the guards"
