AND BE KILLED

With the American army on the Sc
dan Front, Nov. 9.-"What is the use
OF staying out there to be killed on the

of prisoners brought in yesterday by
the Americans. The captured Ger
mans were a more discoura ged lot
than usual. Most of them declared
that since their government is quitting
and they appear to be convinced
that 1t ls-it was absurd for them to
neglect the opportunity to surrender.

General rejoicing ensued last night
when announcement was made at a
meeting of the officers and members
of the First Presbyterian Church, that
a debt of $500 watch had rested on
the manse for twelve years had been
cleared through the efforts of the La
dies Aid Society, of which Mrs. Will
liam F. Reed, Jr., is president.
The meeting was held at 1880 O'Clock,
and after brief business session, an
informal social entertainment, at
which light refreshments were served,
followed. Very sincere regrets was
expressed for the lass Of Mrs. Reed to
the local congregation, as the depar-
ture Of her husband Lieutenant Reed,
former weather observer here, de-
prives them of an earnest worker,
whose never-failing interest accom-
plished much.
Lieut. Reed has been assigned to
duty as organizer of the meteorological
survey for the British Isles.
