the conclusion Of morning services

who favored accepting Or. Bowers
resignation, not that they had any
grudge against him. but willing 10

tlcle. in question did not represent
the views of the entire congrega,
ton present at the meeting. or even
majority Of the membership Of the
church, although that appeared to
be the conclusion one would draw
upon reading the statement.
II is said Dr.. Bowers rendered his
resignation because he bad been
criticized fol not taking an active
part in war activities. and that he
did not take well to the proposition
recently made to unfun a service

prevent the erection Of the flag,

PASSING ON PRICE BOOSTS.

\ new principle in price-iXing has
been introduced by the Fuel Admin
istration. In conserving TO a rise of
half cent a gallon in the wholesale
price of gasoline and kerosene. to
meet increased freight rates, it has
specified that the advance in the retail
price must be no greater than that.
The general practice, as the public
knowns only too well. is TO increase n
price raise at every step as it is passed
along Generally a wholesale jump
is doubled in the retail trade. A cent
added by the manufacturer may be-
come three or four cents by the time it
reaches the consumer. 1t is too much
TO hope that this practice. so largely
unwarranted, will be abolished all at
once. but the present ruling sets
good precedent.
A slight boost beyond the increase
paid by a dealer himself may be justi-
fed in many cases, because of the in
creased investment made necessary:
but everybody knows that the boost
generally made for this purpose is out
of all proportion. and an unwarranted
imposition on the man who pays the
bill.

WAR NEWS IN GERMANY.

While the victorious allied drive was
At it's height. the other day, and the
Germans after enormous losses were
retreating on a wide front. most Of the
German newspapers barely mentioned
the fact that there was fighting going
on between the Aisne and The Marine.
With the Germaniarmy in the most
critical situation since the first bat
tie OF the Marine. the Weser Zeitung
found nothing so important as last
years peace resolution in the Reich
stag Vorwaerts. the big Socialist or
gan, gave the place OF honor on its
front page TO an article on imperial
finance The Berlin Anzeiger play
ed up" the Bolsheyist army. The
Vossiche Zeitung. instead of an ac-
count OF Ludendorns retreat had
big article on "Malvy. the Second
Dreyfus" The Berlin Tageblatt was
chiefly concerned with What is Hap
pening in South Africa" The Deut-
sche Tageszeitung expatiated absent
mindedly on the U-boat campaign.
The stolid. lie-fed German people
don't know yet what has happened.
Compare that with the procedure of
the American press. Here the least
happening in the war theatre is spread
broadcast Any man, woman or child
within reach of a newsboy or postman
may know the sum and The details of
every victory or defeat within a few
hours of its occurrence. and may know
what experts in all quarters of the
world think OF &C. Nothing important
is hidden.
Thanks to a free and enterprising
press. we are fighting the war with our
eyes open. just as the Germans are
lighting it with their eyes shut.

BASEBALL.

The direct, practical value of the
War Departments baseball ruling is
not great The number of professional
ball players who are of draft age and
subject TO the work or fight" rule is
not large enough TO make much differ
ence i'm the war. Indirectly. however,
The matter is highly important. There
is a big principle involved, and the
War Department is right to insists on
its uniform application.
It does not do 10 establish any ia
vored class in so vital a matter as
military service. We may argue that
baseball is necessary" in order to
provide the public with wholesome
recreation. but we know all the time
it is not really necessary. We can get
our recreation i'm other ways. Indeed,
the baseball-loving public has been
doing so to an unprecedented extent
this summer, as the diminished patron
age of the game proves. The main
thing. however. is TO avoid exceptions
to the draft law. because exceptions
are always likely To be misunderstood
and to cause discomfort and heart
burnings.
For every baseball player sent into
the army or into war factory hun
dred young men will so TO their can
comments more cheerfully, and n thou
sand relatives will acquiesce more
readily.
As for baseball, Il will not really
suffer Professional ball may be sus-
pended for the period of the war, but
there will be no suspension of anna
teur ball. in the army or at home. The
national game will go on with unabat-
ed enthusiasm.

THIS ACE WINS s6s PALMS

In telling the story of how he sue
ceeded in selling $26,SO.75 worth of
Thrift and w S. s., thus earning for
himself an Achievement button, Ace
medal and 262 Palms, Scoutmaster Ed
ward Hodgson, of Troop 4, McKees-
port. Pa. in the August issue of Boys
Life. points out very clearly why some
scouts succeed where many fail.
We are going to publish the story
in Scoutmaster Hodgson's own words,
in order that every scout who reads
Boys Life may profit by what he says:
After the people are educated to
the War Savings scheme, il seems to
me, the stamps sell themselves. For
example. on this day, June 2S, took
orders in excess of $1,000, after hav-
ing been over the same ground at
least twice before, and this in little
more than a city block.
"Our scout motto BE Prepared is
a good one to adopt in the sale of the
stamps Be prepared TO answer any
questions that may be asked of you.
do not fail to return for repeat or
ders. Most folks want to give you
credit on their business if you will go
after it. Several weeks ago a gentle
man, knowing l was connected with
the scout movement. approached me
on the street and handed me a red
card. saying that scout got an order
from him and had promised to return
for more but had not done so. As a
consequence that scout is out a Palm,
and if the man had not been interest
ed Uncle Sam would have been out
the price of couple OF guns"
