American Aid for Italy.
WASHINGTON, May 25.-Ameri-
can man power is aiding Italy now
along non military lines. This fact
can be published today after Secre-
tary Of War Bakers announcement in
New York that soon American infan-
trymen, machine gunners and artl-
1ery men would be side by side with
the Italians.
The non-mflitary tasks performed
by Americans in Italy today are main
1y in assisting the natives to produce
larger crops. Unframed in intensive
agriculture, the Italians have failed
to get the maximum from their soil.
Injection Of American forces into
the Italian lines is intended to
strengthen italian morale
Addition of American military units
is intended to inspire italians with
the thought that the greatest democ-
racy, America, is in the night support
ing her and that we are in to the nm
ish.
The problem of supplying coal and
wheat to Italy according to entente
sources was difficult one necently,
but Italy is now adequately aided.
The question of sending troops has
been under discussion for some time.

No Periseope Sighted.
WASHINGTON, May 25.-The gov
ernment was without additional de-
tails early today regarding destruc-
ton of the British transport Moldavia
and the probably loss of fffty-six
Americans thereon Information to
the government last night was based
solely on the admiralty statement.
Torpedoing of the vessel in the Eng
lish channel proved an especial shock
because troop ships there have been
virtually immune from German at
tack. German submarines have prac-
tically not dared to venture into that
zone because of mines, nets and de-
stroyers so p1entifully scattered there.
In this case it is assumed that luck
played a large part in the Teuton ac-
ton for the British report showed no
periscope was sighted despite clear
ness of the night.

LONDON. May 25.-The Moldavia

THE TW0-F00T RULE IN
PASADENA

One of the comedies of the in1u-
enza Season" says the Los Angeles
Times, is the two-foot rule as prac-
tised in Pasadena. In the Crown City
it is permitted for church congrega-
tions to assemble and for other gath
erings to be held-in the open air or
a public park-provided those present
are seated at least two feet apart.
If the authorities have their way
even the disciples of Mary Baker Eddy
will have to buy two-foot rules in
order to regulate their association.
1t is a great system for those who like
to hold themselves a bit aloof. Such
a n may pre-empt a comfortable
seat, and should a chatty person ap-
proach, pull out the relentless two
foot rule and haughtily exclaim:
Keep your distance, pleased" A fat
man can throw himself in the midst
of a five-foot bench and hog the whole
thing.
On the first Sabbath the order was
in effect lots of hopeless worshipers
were caught unprepared. They had
no two-foot rule on the premises and
the neighbors were using theirs. So
they had to guess at it. Sometimes
when the stern officer of the law came
around with his implacable yard
stick they would be found only TWEEN
ty-three inches apart!
1t is hard to be shot at sunrise for
this apparently harmless offense, but
order and discipline must be main
tanned. In other cases they might be
twenty-seven or twenty-eight inches
apart, and then the conservationists
would denounce them for extrava-
gance and waste of room. They would
be held up as slackersl
So there was a rush for two-foot
rules, and now almost every one is
found prepared. When a young man
calls upon his adored one the first
question she asks is: "Have you
brought your two-foot rule with your"
If he has, she adjusts her gauze mask
and the conversation may proceed.
In one of the stores a beauteous
young woman was overheard to COM
plain of her sweetheart-or was il a
boost? She exclaimed: MY but Jack
is a bold one. He got within eighteen
inches Of me last night and he almost
blew a kiss my way. That man amt
afraid of anything!"
IL you are going Pasadena way don't
your two foot rule. |

BOYS AWAIT BULLETIN

American soldiers In camps and hos
pitfalls in Great Britain are now able 70
keep in touch with affairs at home
through the medium of a daily bulletin
service which has been established nv
the American Red Cross.
Army officers say the service fills a
long-felt want, providing the men with
sporting and home news they cannot
find In the English newspapers.
The arrival Of the bulletin is nov
one Of the big daily events. In this
connection a Red Cross worker in
England sends the following message
to National Headquarters In Wash

care and loving Kindness; of His love
and compassion for His children; and
we find that Jesus came preaching
freedom, protection and d~eliverance,
in the name of God, to all who know
the truth and obey God. Now is il
reasonable, is it sensible, yea. is il not
in fact positively silly and ridiculous
to believe that, in spite of all these
promises of freedom and happiness
and love, God has quietly and unan
nounced created what has been called
the deadly germ; that he has placed
this instrument of death in everything
that we eat, drink, handle or see, as
a constant menace to His loved ones?
Us it not quite impossible to believe
that God has endowed this great mon
ster with infinitely more intelligence
than He has given His children, and
that in spite of all that we know, of
all that we a do or conjure up, we
may be momentarily victimized by it?
Is it possible to believe that God has
promised us dominion over all crea-
ton but that He has surreptitiously
excepted from these promises the
germ, and has left us without protec-
ton or deliverance from this awful
thing of His creation?
"One thing is certain, If God has
created this terrible germ and has
given him power and intelligence to
govern and control man, no mortal
agency can e prevent its operation.
But if the Bible is to be believed and
the works of Jesus of Nazareth under
stood and practiced, we know that no
such a condition is thinkable.
we are bound TO accept one or the
other of the following conclusions,
namely, that either there is no omni-
potent God. or there is no deadly
germ. Both cannot be true.
Il submit that the teachings of the
germ theorist completely eliminate
God or any idea of God as necessary
to the creation or salvation of man.
Infinitely more to be avoided than
the germ theory is the fear or dread
of it, as well as the mental picture of
disease and the fear of it engendered
by reading these false theories, and
by reading ~so-ealled health talks and
descriptions of diseases appearing so
%profusely in the press of the country
at the present time.'
