Following his address at banquet
given by the st. Louis Chamber of
Commerce, the Archbishop of York au-
thorized the above message to the
American people.
His Grace, the Most Rev. DR.. Cosmo
Gordon Lang, Archbishop of York and
Primate of England, is the highest
prelate in the Church of England save
one. The Archbishop Of Canterbury,
Primate of All England, Is the ranking
archbishop of the Church Of England.
The office of Primate of England was
created in the year A. d. 627. This
ancient and honorable office and title
mas been held by many distinguished
prelates. DR.. Lang is the ninety-eighth
Archbishop of York and Primate Of
England. The office of Primate Of All
England was created in the year A.
ID. 697.
The difference between the office of
Primate of All England and the Pri-
mate of England is slight. Centuries
ago, to keep peace between two arch
bishops and primates, the added
words "of all" to the title of the Prl-
mate of England solved the problem.
The Archbishop Of York not only is
one of the heads Of the Church of
England, but is member Of the
House of Lords. A member Of the
House of. Lords owes no allegiance to
any political party and therefore his
actions as a statesman are not curbed
or influenced. He represents the gov
ernment and the people with equal in.
terest and frequently fights the bat
ties in Parliament Of the laboring
DR.. Lang is Scotchman, the son of
Presbyterian minister, but he joined
the Church Of England early in life
and while youth began to study for
the ministry. He rose from the rec
torship of small church when yet
young man and before he had attained
the age of 60 was named Archbishop
Of York and Primate of England. He
soon distinguished himself not only as
a prelate but as fearless and bril-.
liant statesman and champion of the
people in the House of Lords.
The Archbishop has visited many
cities in the United States recently,
where he delivered addresses before
chambers Of commerce and other
civic organizations. He brings not
only message of brotherhood and mp.
probation from Great Britain, but he
emphasizes the need for undivided sup.
port OF the government Of the United
States by the people II the war 10 to
be won. He pleads for speeding up
Of shipbullding. Of money raising and
Of troop mobilization. Dr.. Lang makes

the menace of German domina-
tion.
"We have to settle whether
the spirit of irresponsible au-
tocracy or the spirit of free
dom is to prevail among the
nations of the world. So vast
and fundamental an issue nat
urally draws all the free ma
tions of the world together. 1t
must be settled now and for
ever, cost what it may. The
world must decide whether it
will submit to the domination
of a spirit which, if it we're to
prevail, would plunge the ma
tions of the world into long,
restless career of military rival
ry. On such an issue there can
be no such thing as compro-
mise. We must be worthy of
our task. We must recover for
the world the atmosphere of
freedom"

in dire need Of food and that the man
power of the nation Is waning.
A member Of the Archbishop's party
said the distinguished Britons were
surprised and delighted with the en-.
thusiasm Of the American people to
support the war. He said Americans
have come to a realization Of what
the threat Of German domination
means to the world, and especially to
America. He explained that many

realise the necessity for shedding their
blood upon the battlefields Of France
to halt ahe Hun.

Obituary
Silas Rippee. born May 4. 1874
passed from our mortal view at
2:3O p. m. Monday, April IS, being
about II years of age. He was
a pion4er of the Ozarks and
thought its equal could not be
found. The development of this
country held to him the beauty
of a rose.
He was married to Miss Mary
Frances Hardin Dec. 25, 1854.
Five boys and two girls came to
bless their home. He professed
living faith in Christat Pleasant
Valley in 1879.
Jan. II, 1880, this wife and
mother passed away. Jan. 18,
1881, he was married to Miss
Sarah Brentlinger.
He is survived by his faithful
wife, one daughter, five sons, a
brother and sister.
After 2I years Of service in
the Civil war he received an hon
orable discharge which later, by
a special bill passed in his favor,
granted him very liberal pen
sion.
He was we'll known. For the
past II years he had many claims
of illness. This spring he had
been unusually well until last
Tuesday, when a claim of pneu-
monia became manifest. The
last day and night he was con-
scious most of the time and knew
the change was near; when told
to declare Gods power and pre-
samoa ha said. call right all
right"
Later, "Though I pass through
the valley of the shadow of death
| l will fear no evil" was repeated
to him. His answer was well, all
right" The change was as quiet
and peaceful as drop of dew in
the heart of violet.
Rev. j. A. Russell of Hartville,
conducted the funeral from the
residence.
The T. F. Lenhart undertaking
establishment had charge of the
body. Interment was in the
Mansfield cemetery at five p. m.

In India elephants are used in many ways in the army, especially in moV- ing artillery. Of their work in this hne q British writer says:
 "When a gun comes to grief the ele- phant marches up with the important air of an experienced engineer and de- Nberately inspects the state of affairs. Thrusting his trunk around the spoke of & wheel, he gives 1t lift as If to ascertain the depth and tenacity of the mud and then quietly walks around and does the same by the other wheel, dropping 1t again with funny twin kls of the eye as if he said to himseh, All right; l can start her, think
 'aThen he deliberates for few min utes. gives a slight push here and slight push there, when, having at last made up his mind as to the best mode of procedure, he probably applies his forehead-whlch has been padded for the purpose-to the muEzle of the gun and, uttering a shrill, trumpet-hke sound as signal for the gun bullocks to pull together, pushes against 1t with all his weight, while the bullocks obey the signal and pull away too.
 "Ths generally starts the gun. But if the bullocks are sulky and refuse to obey the signal the elephant gets per fectly furious and rushes at them' brandishing his trunk with such fero' city as usually compelS obedience"

eut time, to dominate the deniocratid parry of the Territory.
 I do not think thstt he filings at Mrs. Hatcher VIII effect either her healsh or influence. She is pretty well known in Alaska and, I believe, generally respected. So far as her domestic affairs are concerned, so loEg as she conducts herself pro serly among her associates, they are sacred to herself and family and and do not concern the general public. Mrs. Hatcher has & perfect right to travel and lecturee to such as wish 10 hear her. I heard her when she last spoke here and think her 6 very capable and effective sneaker. She does not indulge in Sacetious remarks and sarcasm but goes armed with facts and proof Of her assertions. As to who pays her way. that is something the Sulzer:- 'tas should investigate without de- lay; she Is speaking for Maloney, perhaps Wickersham pays the bill, bus I will venture that bR doesn't pay 2 cent of 1t; I will state fur ther that I do not believe that The California Liquor Dealers AsSocis- ton nor the Transportation com aanisg pay 1t either.
 Can 1t be that the case Is so des- Darate as to require such drastic measures? I am a Republican, qualified by the word Progressive. [ believe In the square Deal" in politics as well as in business and social life Honest differences in opinions are respected and if we all .eahored to fair methods in con testing for our conceived principles os right much bitter feeling would be avoided. I do not believe in Kaiserism. Truth dashed to Earth VII rise again, the Eternal years of God are Hers, but Error wounded writhes with pain and dies among it's worShippers."
