 Tuesday.

Atlanta. May il. Secretary Daniels speaking tonight before the general conference fthe Methodist Episcopal Church, south, urged all branches of American Mcthodism to unite into 'Cne mighty army of militant Me1h- Odists."
 Reciting how the recent unity of command in the allied armies in Fran ce had mObilized the forces of ciVilza. tion into one invincible army to meet the Prussian onslaught, the secretary asked if this wise action did not af- ford a convincing reason why Amer ican Methcdists should do likewise and gain strength "in the onward move ment of their mighty Christian arm ies?''
 "In this supreme hour." continued the secretary, "Mhen section&lism has blOssOmed into national unity and love of the republic has broadenel to make possible freedom and democracy of all nations the supreme duty of Method ists is to make any and all sacrifices to mobilize Methodists into one mighty church.
 Christianity Has Not Failed.
 of politicians and business men have forgotten there was Mason and Dixon line the Methodist churches cannot wisely longer march in separ- ate columns under separate OrganiZa- tions.'
 Secretary Daniels deried that this war showed that Christian civilization failed.
 "It alone is the star of hope,' he said. "A study of Prussianism dis closes that in that country the state had usurped the place of God and that spirtualism had given place to only wage war for spells who had not repudiated the teachings of Jesus Christ"
 TO Elect Six Bishops. On suspension of rules the confer
 once shortly after the opening of to- days session, adopted the report of the committee on Episcopacy recon mending the election of six bishops. It was ordered that the ballotng for bishops be started Tuesday morning. The committee on education. after
 much debate, has decided to ask the
 reappointment of commission to have charge of Emory university, At lanta, Ga., and Southern Methodist university, Dallas, Texas, the two
 leading educational centers of the church.
 l A strong effort was made in the committee to recommend to the con ference the placing of both institu- tions under the control of the general
 educational board of the church.

Little Rock, May 1.-The special

 come defective Monday, May 13, was indefinitely suspended Saturday morning, by the State food admins trator Hamp Williams, when it was found that the stock of meats now in the hands of the meat dealers, and the meats ordered and in transit, would exceed the capacity of the cold stor- age plants of the State and probably cause great loss if the normal con- sumption of meats on which the deal CTS had placed their orders was re- duced to the extent required by the new ruling.
 It was stated at the State food ad- ministration office that the meat shortage in the United States is acute, and that steps toward conserving the supply are to be taken all over the country, but that at the present time

 This condition exists at Fort Smith, Pine Bluff. Hot Springs, and other
 important points in the State, as we'll as Tn Little Rock. Until these large stocks are reduced to a point where they may be safely taken care of, the
 special order will be suspended. If the
 people will be conservative in use of meat, it is thought that further re- stlictions may not be necessary. .. The special order prohibiting the making and serving of ice tea, sher bets and water ices in hotels, res taurants and other public places, will go into effect Monday.

Another week has passed without renewal by the Germans of the offen sive begun March 21, halthed before Amiens early in April and which came to a definite pause on it's right flank before the Flanders hills as the month of May was opening.
 Ever since the costly defeat of Gen. Non Arnms army in it's desperate assault southwest of Ypres, nearly two weeks ago, the beginning of a new effort TD the enemy has been looked for. Possibly the Germans have been waiting for an allied coun- ter blow.
 Delay Aids Allies.
 If this was the case they must have been disappointed by the waiting attitude of Gen. Foch, who, it is felt, now will compel the enemy to reveal his further purpose with little delay as time is one thing he cannot squan der with American forces now rapid ly swelling to formidable numbers.
 If, as is considered certain, the Germans have employed such time as they felt impelled to spend in building up machinery fer new attack on an even greater scale than before, it is equally sure that the allies have not neglected to make every preparation possible.
 Every day gives evidence of alert ness of the allied forces. Numerous minor operations have been under taken to improve their positions and their artillery fire has been directed in breaking up organized efforts of the enemy.
 Allies Superior in Air.
 Airplane raids in which the super ;orty of the entente air forces has been freely shown have served the same end besides being product i've of valuable information. While in numerable infantry raids have been almost uniformly fruitful.
 Betterments of allied positions re- ported yesterday included an advance by the French on the Flanders front in the neghborhood of Locre, where approaches of Mt. Rouge, one of the, bulwarks of the allied line, has been made more secure.

Historic Dinner.

In 1898, when the German emperor
kong, Prince Henry gave dinner to
the officers of the foreign warships,
which was attended by Admiral Dewey
and other Americans Following the
usual custom, Prince Henry proposed
toasts to the nations whose represen-
tatives were his guests. Diplomatic
etiquette stipulated that these nations
should be mentioned in alphabetical
order, the French names being used.
The first toast was proposed to Ger
many (Allemagne). Next came Eng
land (Angleterre), followed by Spain
(Espagne). Since the French name
for the United States is Etats Unis,
the toast to this nation should have
followed that to Espagne. Neverthe-
less, Prince Henry, next proposed
France. Few men were so punctilious
on diplomatic etiquette as Admiral
Dewey and at this affront he arose,
with his officers. and quietly left the
dinner table. Naturally the incident
produced sensation. Prince Henry
sent an officer to apologize. But Ad-
miral Dewey, again the soul of pune
tiliousness. refused to accept an apol-
ogy at second hand. Then Prince
Henry made ceremonial call and
apologized. He explained the incident
as dine To n temporary mental aharra
ton.

Is playing in the gigantic struggle.
Mr.. Pershing, civilian, is in Butte
for several days on business. He Is
registered at the Thornton hotel from
Cincinnati.
John writes often" Mr.. Pershing
said yesterday. HE wants the home
gossip, the news of our family and of
what we are doing. He has never

SENATOR FRED DUBOIS
GETS A LIFE POSITION
PROMPTLY CON.
FIRMED-TAkES HIM OUT
SENATORIAL RACE.

The Idaho senatorial race was some
pointing Fred Dubois, former senator,
as civilian member of the board of ord
nance and fertilization. This appoint
ment, carrying with it salary of
receives, and involving no outlay for
campaign expenses, and no expendi-
ture for social duties, and being a life
appointment, is in many ways prefer
able to a seat in the senate. Senator
Dubois is extremely happy over the
appointment, and his acceptance of the
appointment means that he will not
enter the senatorial primaries in Idaho
this year. But for the appointment
the former senator, at least according
to his friends, would have been very
much in the running.
The fact that Senator Dubois was
nominated and confirmed on the same
day was a nice compliment paid by the
senate to one Of it's former members
The nomination of Dubois was not so
much as referred to committee, as is
almost invariably done; it was read in
the senate, in executive session, and
by unanimous wish of the senators
present, was confirmed.
Popular With Senate.
The proceedings of the senate in
executive session, of course, never be-
come public-that is to say, they are
not recorded in cold type, but gossip,
which is ever present at executive ses-
sions, reports that senators on both
sides of the party aisle too occasion
to pay tribute to the former senator
confirmation of his nomination. Per-
sonally, no member of the senate has
been more popular or had more friends
in that body than Fred T. Dubois.
| Since his retirement from the SEN
ate, Mr.. Dubois has spent much time
In Washington, and was here at the
time he was appointed by the presl-
dent as the civilian member of the
He fills the vacancy caused by the
death of former Senator Thornton of
Louisiana, who recently died. General
'rasker H. Bliss is chairman of the
board, it's other army members being
Maj. Gems. Erasmus M. Weaver, Will
lam Crozier, William NJ. Black, John
e. Stephens and Lieut.. Col. William
F. Hase. The board maintains an Of
flee in Washington, but since the out
break of the war, has held it's sessions
In New York City. So that hereafter,
Senator Dubois will divide his time
between the national capital and
Broadway.
Refused Lesser Appointments.
During the past few years Mr. Du-
bois has been mentioned for a num-
Der of important federal appoint
ments and is understood to have had
several tenders from the president,
all of which, until the last, he de-
clined. Now that he has been given
an office carrying salary equal to
that of senator, but without the
burdens and handicaps of senator
ship, Senator Dubois feels that he has
the bulge" on some of his friends in
Idaho, who will have to make hard
campaign this fall. The nomination of
Dubois for the ordnance and fortifica-
ton board was supported heartily by
Senators Borah and Nugent.
