ALL DAY MEETING AT PAMELA

A group of Berea workers, COM
posed Of Messrs. Christopher, Allen,
and RiX. autoed to Pamela last Sum-
day and spent very profitable and
pleasant day. There were preach
ing services at II am. and 3 and 1880
pm, which were we'll attended, and
much interest was shown. Pamela
demonstrates to a pleasing degree
the possibility of more than one
denomination using the same church
edifice for Sunday services and
other religious gatherings.
The pastors of the Baptist and
Christian Churches each hold a
monthly service. and members of the
Methodist Church unite with those
communions in active Christian
work.
The hospitality of the Pamela peo-
pie knows no bounds and each We'd
with the other in extending a cordi-
al welcome to the visitors.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hollowell. who are
making their home with their
daughter. Mrs. C. w Allen, were
also welcome members of the Berea
party.
II may not be amiss to mention
that Mr.. Rix, the managing editor
Of The Citizen. experienced a pecu-
liar pleasure in meeting some reg
ular and appreciative readers of his
paper. and it is a reasonable hope
that by thus becoming better &C
quainted The Citizen may be made
increasingly useful and interesting
to its readers in the various COM
munities which it reaches.

THE French road system is a

build macadam roads as good or
better, but principally in the matter
Of upkeep. for which the French
have a positive genius. Roads are
divided into sections like our rail-

Considerable interest centers in
the possible increase in the strength
of the German fleet which comes
about from the seizure of the Rus
sian war ships. 1t is known that
many fine vessels had been built
since the Russian-Japanese war, Of
the most modern type, and it is
probable that Germany has taken
them, if they have not been des-
trOyed by the Russians, to prevent
such a fate. IL is estimated that
it will increase the German strength
at least twenty-five per cent.

j. w. Wheeler, an itinerant
Baptist minister near Bowling
Green, has been brought before the
Commissioners for violation Of the
Espionage Act. He made remarks,
it is charged, which discredited
American soldiers in comparison
with German. Such cases make the
people Of the state acquainted with
the fact that we are at war and that
care must be exercised in the
matter Of speech. The Government
will not tolerate anything which
will help the cause Of the enemy
and harm the cause of the United
