FOR MISSION WORK

Travelling Evangelist Roy l.. Brown
formerly of Richmond, will speak at
the services of the First Christian
church Sunday in the interest OF the
nationwide campaign now under way
among the Christian churches to raise
a $6,300,000 emergency fund for be-
nevolent, educational and missionary
enterprises of the church.
Many contributions have already
been received from Wayne county,
and it is expected to obtain $1,000
more from the First Christian church.
The Milton church has raised $500,
and .Jacksonburg 5000. Rushville
raised $4,000.
About 100000 has already been
secured in the United States in indi-
vidual pledges toward the campaign
fund. The remaining $1,300,000 with
and additional $1,2O0,00 emergency
fund to meet war conditions, is being
raised from the churches.
The campaign for the past has been
fer large pledges. Nothing less than

WILL PRESENT PLAN
FOR ARMY INCREASE
(By Associated Prcss)

WASHINGTON, May secretary
Baker will appear before the house
military committee tomorrow morning
to present the administration program
for increasing the army to meet the
German drive. The exact form of his
recommendation is not known but
there are indications that he will not
confne himself to specific figures, ask
ing for blanket authority to raise all
the troops it is found possible to clothe
and equip and ship to France.
The whole question Of equipment
and transportation was gene over
again at the war department today by
the war council.
1t IS known that war department
officials through the survey of ship
ping and supplies recently completed
have been convinced that it will be
possible to handle at least 100000
men this year and that the number
would be considerably increased by
straining resources. 1t is therefore be-
lieved that Mr. Baker will indicate to
the house committee tomorrow that
an additional million men fill be mobil-
lied ii authority is granted.

where the circus tent was being pitch
ed by hundreds of busy employees
Dining and cook tents were the
first up and breakfast was served to
the employees at about 8 o'clock.
Hundreds of people lined Main street
for many blocks and viewed the par
ade as it passed through the business
district.
Visitors began to arrive at the
grounds in the wake of the parade and
the crowds grew until the main doors
opened when the masses began to
stream through the mendgerie and
take their places under the "big top"
All was noise and excitement Bands
played and various musical contriv-
ances added to the din; leather

WASHINGTON. May 1--lmmgra-

The first entry list for any import
ant colt stake to be raced Off on the
Grand Circuit this season has just
been issued, and gives full assurances
that there will be no lack Of higll-class
three-year-olds to make the juvenile
features OF real interest to breeders
and patrons.
The lists contain tie names of elig-
ibles 20 the Champion Stallion and
Matron stakes, and. as was to be eX-
pected. Includes the names Of all the
sensational two-year-olds Of last seaon.
The two lists are practically dupli-
Gates, there being thirty-seven eligibles
to the Stallion stake and forty-one in
the MatroD. in each case all but eight
being duplicate entries, thus insuring
large fields Of starters.
IN each case there are just nine
eligibies for the pacing division, once
again indicating that breeders show
no fancy for young PAGERS. The
Stallion stake will be worth about
$4,000. and will be second only in
value to the colt classic. the $4,000
Kentucky Futurity. The Matron stake
will DE worth about $1,000.

Wayne County Council of Defense:
1T is with deep regret that sever
my connection with the Wayne Coun-
ty Council of Defense, but feel that

medical department of the United
States army.
1.-The most important matter, at this
time. seems to me. to be the compile
tion of the National read west of the
city and the Main street bridge.
owing to the fact that the rail-
roads are overbur1ened with war
work, the public this summer, Will
have to depend largely upon trucks,
and the condition OF the road west Of
the city is such that these trucks will
be unable to get through unless the
proposed improvements are carried
out
SThe work on the Main street
bridge, | am tod, is not progressing
as rapidly as it might be, on account
of the failure to get materials and la

Laws have been passed or will be in

Proposed Reform Bill to
Change Prussian State
(Bv Associated Press)

AMSTERDAM, May lin the dis
cussion of the Russian reform bill in
the Prussian lower house Tuesday,
Herr Won Heydebrand, conservative,
declared that if equal suffrage as the
government proposed, was introduced,
the character of the lower house would
be changed and it would not be pos
sible to longer maintain the Prussian
state as it is.
The unrest among the people ought
not to last much longer and an agree
ment was quite possible, said Herr
Friedberg, vice president of the Prus-
sian ministry. Herr Porsch, a cen
trist, said that small section of the
centrist party would vote against the
bill but the majority would support it.

"CholO" IS Fine Writes
F. s. Todd, in France

Forest S. Todd, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
George Todd, 126 North Seventeenth
street, has written of his safe arrival
in France. Todd enlisted with the
Seventeenth Field Artillery, and sailed
for France the last of February. He
is now in training and expects to be
sent into action soon
The chow" Is good, Todd writes,
and the billets where the American
soldiers are lodged are fine" He Is
lot yet able to realize that there really
is a war on SO close to him, he says,
owing to the excellent way in which
the United States soldiers are cared
for. The soldier was especially i'm
pressed on his arrival in France with
the narrow streets and low stone build
ings of the French cities.

The baseball gatherings for these
days have a distinctly military color.
This applies particularly to such pro-
fessionai games as are played i'll To-
calities adjacent to army canton
, ments. There are any number Of
French and British soldiers over here
assisting in preparing the young
American in war work. The visitors
are becoming great fans. OF course,
being a soldier hasn't robbed Aneri-
cans OF their interest in the game.
The most frenzied and altogether
abandoned baseball bug in the world
is the French army officer. His soul
full roofing makes that of the dome5-
tic bug seem tame and tepid. A young
regiment of Clemenceau's soldiers can
be seen at almost any of the major
league parks any afternoon, and to
watch them enjoy the game is alone
worth the price of admission.
The British officer takes an intense
interest in the game. but he never
reaches the hat scaling pitch OF I'M
bridled enthusiasm attained by his
French ally. His vocal outburst. are
confined to such Explanations as Bah
jove, the jolly old dear ran out three
cushions on that stroke to the fence.
How perfectly ripping" The constant
barraage of repartee that is fired be-
tween the two factions would get
laugh out of old Hindenburg hims elf.
Speaking of the boxers. one OK the
coming lightweights of the game is
Packy O'Gatty, who is connected with
Bonnie Leonard in the rather humble
capacity Of sparring partner. Packy,
youngster. is game as a powder-fed
lion, can hit hard and is swift On his
pedals. Leonard says: 'Packy IS the
gamest kid that ever pulled on a glove.
When l was training for my fight with
Johnny Kilbane last summer l got the
kid to box me few rounds. La the
third round l caught him flush on the
jaw with a right hook and knocked
him flat Several weeks later l met
him in the gym and asked him to put
on the gloves with me. Anyone else
would have side-stepped the request.
considering his earlier experience, but
Packy just jumped in the ring AMI pro-
ceeded to give me five warm and in
teresting rounds I'm for him strong
and think he's a coming champion"
1t isn't unusual for champion 8

tually surpass his master Willie |
