SUNDAY SERVICE
Rev. Robt. karr Brings Message From
Our Soldier Boys in the Army
Camp at Cody.
SEVEN MONTHS WITH Y. NJ. c. A..
Union Services Were Held in the
Presbyterian Church Which
Was Filled 10 Capacity.

On last Sunday evening. Rev. Robt
KaTr delivered a most interesting ad'
dress at the Presbyterian church
on his work with the army Y.
M. c. A. at Camp Cody, New Mexico.
Rev. karr has recently returned after
an absence Of seven months most OF
which was spent in Y. NJ. c. A. work
at this army camp. The several
churches of the city participated in 4
union service on this occasion and the
Presbyterian church was filled to ca
pacity with interested relatives and
friends of boys who were stationed at
that particular cantonmelt.
In opening, his talk Rev. Karr stat
ed that he wished to assure the moth
ers and fathers Of soldier boys that
they need not worry about the vel
fare and safety of their boys III any
Of the army camps Of the United
States, for they were receiving the
best Of care and that the government
was doing all in its power to care for
the boys both physically and spiritu-
ally. He paid high tribute to the ar
my Y. M. c. A. as one OF the greatest
institutions of the times, and that il
was worthy of our utmost support. He
gave an interesting account of the or
ganization of this great institution for
army work and of its wonderful
growth. He stated that since the es-
of the Y Nj. C. A. huts
~ CHI Of
writing paper and envelopes had been
given out as we'll as great quantities
of ink and even stamps were furnish
ed in many cases. The duties of Y.
M. C A. workers are indeed strenuous
and they are untiring in their efforts
Rev. Karr was religious secretary in
one Of the huts, having charge of the
religious meetings and social welfare
of 5000 men. He said he was proud
of the fact that he was there to re-
present Crawford county and that new
err once was he given cause to be
ashamed Of any of the boys from Craw-
ford county and that not one of them
had ever been sent to the guard house
for any offense.
Mrs. Karr, too, was kept busy dur
ing their sojourn at Camp Cody and
through her kindly manner and help
jul way she endeared herself to the
hearts of many boys. She assisted
Rev. karr many times also by substi-
.uting at different religious meetings
in occasions when the soldier who was
% take part was called on duty Or 9TH
erwise detained.
Rev. Karr expressed himself as en-
toying his work in the camp to the ut
most and it was with the deepest re-
greet that he was forced to give it up
and leave Deming on account of poor
health. The past few months have !
been spent in the mountains near
Denver, Colo, where he has gained |
strength and recuperated from his i'll
less, and is thus able to return to
)enison and resume his pastorate at :
he Presbyterian church in this city |
Tie citizens of Denison as we'll as his !
'wn congregation are more than
pleased to welcome Rev. Karr and |
Mrs. karr to their midst again, and |
rust that his health will permit him
o remain here.

ton, had been recovered tonight from

ward No. at the State Hospital for the
Insane here, which was swept by 11re
early today. The total list of missing
tonight stood at thirty-seven. one name
having been added to the list late today
after careful reckoning by authorities.
The victims of the flames were boys
and men from sixteen to thirty-six
years of age. Earlier reports had stated
that the victims were all boys from ten
to fourteen years old, but careful
check proved this wrong.
Three buildings. all of them frame.
were destroyed, and fourth building.
two-story structure, was damaged. The
property loss is estimated at $4,000.
During the fire 1913 patients, including
eighty -eight violently insane negroes
and thirty helpless negroes. were re-
moved safely, although the violent
negroes in most instances fought their
rescuers. Sixty employees of the hos
pital, among them many nurses, dis
tinguiShed themselves in the rescue
work and in fighting the flames Wom-
an nurses risked their lives to enter
burning buildings and carry out Grip
pied patients.

fective electric wiring in a linen closet
in ward IA, quickly spreading to other
structures. 1t was discovered by a night
watchman. DR.. d. w. Griffit, superin-
tendent, declared tonight that he hoped
the list of missing would be lowered by
finding patients who escaped from the
