HERE NEXT SUNDAY

Mr.. D. H. Sloan is in receipt OF
letter from Rev. Louis Entzminger,
the new pastor of the First Baptist
church here, stating that he ard his
wife had already left Fort Worth,
Texas, for Lakeland in their car, and
hoped to reach here by next Sunday,
but, being delayed in Mississippi on
account of the condition of the roads,
due to heavy rains, it is not certain
that they will be able to get here by
that time. The membership Of the
church will be glad to know that Rev.
Entzminger will be able to take up
his work here so early, it being un-
derstood at the time he was called
that he would hardly be able 20 get
here before November.
Mr.. Entzminger lived near Lake,
land for several years, but left the
State some ten years ago, going to
Kentucky as State Secretary of Sun
day school work, going later to Fort
Worth. Texas, where he has done a
great work as assistant pastor, and
leader of the Sunday school work in
the First Baptist church there. For
a part of the time he has been occu-
cupying the chair of Sunday school
pedagogy in the Southwestern Theo-
logical Seminary one of the great
Baptist Theological Summaries of the
South.

lied in the following resolutions:

summed up as DETERMINATION W WI

labor situation with view to pro

CHARLES MURDOCH
WRITES ANOTHER
INTERESTING LETTER

Mr.. Charlie Murdoch has written
the following interesting letter to
Mr.. w. l.. Keen, of the Evening Tele-
gram force, which we reprint for the
interest it will have for Mr.. Muir
docks many friends. Mr.. Murdoch
says
Your very welcome letter just re-
ceived and / certainly do appreciate
a letter from you once more, and am
sorry that | have never received the
letter that you wrote me on the 2Sth
of June because / sure would have
answered 1t although | am very busy
these days. You know that these
letters from the friends back home
are appreciated too much to let them
20 unanswered very long.
l received very kind and interest
ing letter from Congressman Drane
about three weeks ago. He read my
letter in the Telegram and decided to
write to me.
Well, Shorty" I have been work
ing pretty hard every day and part
of every night for the past week and
| suspect / will have to make this
letter a little short this time be-
cause | am pretty sleepy tonight.
suppose that you would like tc
hear as much about the things thai
are going on over here as | can pos
sibly tell you in letter, and | would
be only too glad to do it but in tn
! first place, as you know, the censo'
wouldn't let it through, and in tn.
second place I think that you folks il
| the States are getting the dope" pref
ty we'll from what have seen of the
newspapers from over there.
We boys over here sure do like tC
sit down and read one of the papers
from the States and get the dope
as to what is going on over here. II
is just like a baseball player readinf
the account of the game about three
weeks after it was played.
Just as the papers over there have
told you, when the Huns made thei
grandstand play for the key to Paris
a short time ago, they encountered
something similar to big steel wal!
that they soon found out it would be
pretty hard to climb. The Hun did
not try to break through or climb oV-
er this steel wall but short time
when all at once one Gay just as 1t
was becoming daylight the big wall
suddenly began to not only spit fire
and hot lead but it began TO move
forward at a rapid gait. This sudden
counter-offensive on the part OF the
! Allies seemed to be a complete sur
prise to the Huns because they start
ed to run towards home and Up TO a
few minutes ago they were still re-
treating. The German commander
Ludendorff, says "Our forces are
withdrawing according to plan" Well
if the withdrawal is being carried ou'
according to plan, it must be a very
poor plan because large amount o.
Ludendorff's troops will never retreat
any more.
l have often wondered if the Ger
man people VIII be deceived much
longer by the criminals they call their
high command or general stan. 1t q
very true that once German gets

Value Of a Good Lookout.

Speaking Of the value of careful
lookout as protection against the
submarine, the first lord Of the admir-
atty, Sir Eric Geddes, said that If a
submarine is sighted by the lookout
on a vessel-whether the vessel is
armed or not makes no difference-it
is seven to three on the ship in favor
of it's getting away. Out of every ten
attacks, when the submarine is sight
ed by the ship, seven of them fall but
of every ten attacks when the subma-
rine is not sighted eight ships go
down. In this connection we note that
Sir Alfred Yarrow offered, some
months ago, a monetary reward to the
first seamun on any merchant vessel
to detect the presence Of submarine.
In the case of the American destroyer.
recently sunk, it will be noted that
the presence of a submarine was not
known until the ship was torpedoed,
Will some American offer similar
bonus for the seamen on our ships?-
Scientific American.

War Beer in GERMANY,

Reports. from Berlin recently re-
ceived in London show that the kaiser's
subjects are facing a further reduction
in the supply of beer, says the New
York Times. The amount of malt
available for brewing has just been
fixed, and, whereas the amount for the
last year was 25 per cent of the peace
quota, the amount for the next year is
to be only 10 per cent in North Ger
many, and Is per cent in. Bavaria.
When the requirements of the army
and Of the munitions factories--which
in Germany get precedence-have
been met, there will be enough malt to
provide the civil population with about
one-third Of it's consumption In peace
time, but the beer is only the thin
'war beer" The barley harvest in the
rest Of Germany has been bad, and
there Is nov great increase In the
proportion OF barley that is used for
food.

DRASTIC ORDERS BY DANIELS
CLOSES SALOONS WITHIN FIVE
MILES OF NAVAL STATIONS.
Dry Zones Effective Regardless Of Ex-
istence Of Incorporated Cities
Within Limits.

Washington, March 7.-Five mile
naval training stations and camps, ir-
respective of whether there is an in
corporated city or town within those
limits, is ordered by Secretary Daniels.
Other orders may be issued later, but
for the present no change is made in
the regulations governing conditions
around other camps.
Prohibits Sale or Gift.
Under authority of the 'Selective
Service law the secretary forbids the
sale or giving away of liquor within
five miles of the Great Lakes training
station, near Chicago; the training
stations at Norfolk, Va, and Hampton
Roads, the training camp at Mare Is
land, CAL, and the Marine station at
Quantico, Va., and Port Royal, S. c.
AS in the case of the army camp
zones an exception is made of the
serving of liquor in private homes
to members of the family or guests.
In a statement explaining his rea-
sons for the action, Mr.. Daniels re-
ferred particularly to Objectionable
conditions at Vallejo near Mare Island
which a letter from the Mare Island
commandant referred to as a "short
business street with IS Saloons" said
to be controlled by a German brewer.
Does Not Apply to Dunwoody.
The order does not apply to the
Dunwoody Institute at Minneapolis.
Only stations specifically mentioned
are included in the order. However,
it does not follow that the order will
not be extended. IN fact, it is as
sumed since the order is issued to
apply to certain places where con-
ditions are specifically described, it
may and probably will be extended
later
Newport, r. L., Annapolis, Nd,
and Vallejo, CAL are the largest
cities affected.
