The Rev. Louis j. Haas preached

was the few against the many, the
weak against the strong, the
righteous against the unrignteous,"
and the Maccabees sacrificed their
lives for their Ideals. Their spirit,
said DR.. Haas, appears to have de-
scended through the ages TO the jew
deeds and sacrifices have emulated
the Maccabees of old. He likened all
the men of all the Allied armies also

n high tribute TO the women of
America, France, Italy and England.

Wilson Wants LOvett
to Direct Railroads

Washington, Nov. 30.-Positive
reports became current here yester-
day afternoon to the effect that
Judge Robert S. Lovett will be
asked by President Wilson to be-
come director general Of railroads.
He is now serving the government
as director of the division of capital
expenditures.
There has been near panic
among railroad men in the railroad
administration over the talk of John
Skelton williams for director gem
eral. Rather than serve under him,
now that the war and its high de-
mands upon patriotism are over,
many of these men would resign
and leave Washington in a body, as
1t We're.
1t is understood that this situa-
tion has been comprehended by the
President.

o'clock this evening and other local
breweries also will run all day. That
there are many gallons OF beer on
hand at the breweries was agreed
by the brewers. None would give
any intimation as to changes in
prices, but 1t is generally believed
that the price will soon go TO ten
cents a glass.
The breweries will not dismantle
their plants or begin the manufac-
ture of prohibition drinks, they say.
Their breweries will be used largely
for storage purposes, and they will
allow their machinery TO stand,

the action of the finance committee
must be ratified by the senate anu
agreed to by the House, but 1t is re-
garded as certain that both houses
will agree to the changes now that
the war is over.
Generally speaking, the changes
which were voted into the revenue
bill by the finance committee restore
the pre-war rates on second class as
well as first class postage. Instead oil

ounce on letter mail, and two-cent

Some of these days all of the

and sailors will be home again.
There will be parades and speech

will be handshaking, and tears of
joy; there will be special services
in the churches. There will be ach-
ing hearts, too, for the boys who
will never come home.
But when the red fire has burned
out, the parades and speech-making
are over. the hurrahs have died
away and the handshaking is finish
ed, the soldier boys and the sailor
boys are going to make certain in
quiries.
What were you all doing while
we were over yonder?" will be the
first query. Were you carrying on
back home?"
Then it will be possible for thou
sands of us to reply that we were
carrying on; that we, too, were
fighting a good fight and We're keep

Memberships are only 81. The ma

I suggest that the entire popula-

constitute itself a general commit

All that is required is heart and
