THE COMMUNITY FLAG
 SERVICE BIG SUCCESS


 Church last Sunday evening with a most fitting patriotic ceremony.
 With the church filled to ca pacity program full of patrio- tic inspiration was given, the entire congregation participat- ing in the effort to make the service an unusual success.
 Opening the program with a few we'll chosen words concern ing the national popularity of community service flags, Rev. erend c. V. LaFontaine led in prayer, which was followed by special patriotic music by the choir, Mrs. J. w. Lee leading.
 .'The Strong Arm of the Y. M. c. A." by Mcdonald Robin son was the next number. MT. Robinson gave a most able ex- position of the war work and aims of this organization.
 After the singing of the nat ional hymn of France, by the choir, MT. L. S. Williams spoke of The Work of the Red Cross,, a discussion which was received with great interest by the con- gregation.
 Keep the Home Fires Burn ing", recent song with heart stirring verses, was sung by Mrs Jerrie w. Lee, assisted by the choir. ...
 The pinning of the stars to the service flag was the feature of the evening. A star was placed on the flag for each man who is now in the army or navy, who left this community. Relatives or friends of the men placed the stars on the flag. The mothers of the majority of the soldiers and sailors were present, lending a truer sheer ity to the ceremony.
 One incident of unusual in- terest was the calling of Camp bell Wolfe to the front of the church when his star was to be pinned on the flag. As he res bonded hearty applause was given him, and as his parents followed him to the side of the flag the audience voluntarily sang Blessed Be the Tie that Binds" bringing a touch of sentiment unfelt until then.
 As the pinning of the stars; continued, each name being re- ceived with applause, it was found that there are about for tY young men who have enlist ed from here. The names of all will be printed on an honor roll and placed beside the flag in the church to remain until the war is ended.
 At the close of this service it was suggested that a freewill offering be taken for the benefit of the Y. M. c. A. This receiv- ed enthusiastic response and about thirty dollars were given. Additional gifts to this fund re- ceived later raised it to 35$.
 A trio, Misses Carlson, La Fontaine and Merrill G. LaFon- taine added another enjoyable music number to the evenings program after which the assem- blaze sang "The Star Spangled Banner, closing the program.
 Stars were pinned to the flag for the following young men, others leave from this town: necessary:

IS JUR|ST'S PLEA

CLEVELAND. Sept 1.-orrin N.
Carter. chief justice of the supreme
court Of Illinois. who has been here
attending the convention Of the Amer
lean Bar Association. in an interview
said:
1T would be most fitting that indi-
viduals responsible for atrocities IN
this war be punished as beats the
specific crimes charged. To punish
an entire nation, including the civil
ian population. old people and little
children, in nowise responsible for
the war or its brutalities. does not
make for exact justice, but in the cir
cumstances IL would be difficult to
discriminate between the innocent
and the guilty.
I'VE know that as q nation pre-
sumably backing the Kaiser to the
last man and woman, Germany Is
guilty OF the crimes charged. We
can and no doubt will punish the ma
ton as whole. being unable to reach
or to prosecute the Individual rim
inal because OF the absence OF any
means Of Identification or ability Of
obtaining necessary evidence. The
plan would be good, but is imprae-
tieable."

HAZLEToS. Pa. Sept. 1.-At their
meeting here yesterday, the poor di-
rectors OF the middle coalheld dis
trict. comprising the lower section
OF Luzerne and the upper part OF Car
bon counties, decided to prosecute all
parties able to pay for the mainte-
nance OF relatives kept either at the
slmshouss or in asylums. but failing
TO comply with frequent requests that
they share this expense.
n Is said that the district loses
thousands OF dollars through such de-
linqaencies every year. With the
cost OF living higher than at any time
and other .outlays mounting in pro-
portion. the poor board has been
forced to take radical action so as to
keep within its income.

CLERGYMAN JOINS
MERCHANT MARINE

Rev. Nathaniel H. Melbert, a Metho-
dist clergyman Of Houston, Tex, has
Joined the merchant marine. Word to
the Shipping Board here from the
Boston training station tells Of his
success as a sailor and Of how he
came to enlist He was exempt from
war duty as q clergyman, and firmly
attached to his home with a bride of
six months there, but when Hurley's
call for men came to his attention he
called his girl bride to his side and
together they considered the matter
in prayer. He is sure that the Lord
pointed the way of his decision.
Rev. Melbert, as a sixteen-year-
old boy ran away from home in Sa-
lima Kan, to Join the revenue cutter
service. and spent three years before
the mast In the Orient and Atlantic
coastwise trade. He was converted in
the Bowery Mission, New York, and
later graduated from the divinity
school In the University Of Chicago.
Later he spent two summers In Y.
VI. c. A. work on battleships, and be-
came 'Y" secretary In Texas In
Houston he organized a large church.
He Is now swabbing decks on the
Boston training ship, whence he will
be graduated as an ordinary seaman
to draw SEQ q month and found, with q
so per cent bonus for service in the
war zone.
-Four thousand men are being
sought by the Shipping Board for their
merchant marine training ships during
September. Eighteen is the minimum
age limit They will be sent to Bos-
ton. San Francisco, or Seattle, and

VAST CROPS REAPED
BY 100000 MEN.

Five million volunteer farm hands
have practically completed harvesting
Americas biggest cereal crops, ex-
cept corn. Agricultural Department
reports showed today.
Responding to the appeal for hands
from 1000, 900 farms, city dwellers,
including clerks, factory hands, busi-
ness executives, bankers, statesmen.
and women and children, still are
spending their vacations and spare
time in rural districts, helping get in
fall war crops.
The harvest will continue until De-
cember in the Southern States, and in
the corn belt, where the biggest corn
crop of the world will be gathered.
Rice, sugar, cane, and cotton will be
harvested in the Southern States in
the remaining four months of the
about September 10.
Agricultural Department officials
are enthusiastic at the way the volun-
teer hands responded and at the thor
oughness with which they did the job.
The volunteers, officials say, have
saved the allies food supplies and
made IL possible for the United States
to feed the world. Further, the will
inRness with which the volunteers
gave UP their leisure time is one of
the strongest Indications of Americas
determination to win the war.
Farm products this year. including
live stock, will be worth from $S,OOO,-
0OO, 900 to $4,000. .OoO, 900, preliminary
estimates show.
Volunteer workers have earned ap-
$50, 100000 by their
work.

gas on the French. The Americans can
operate easily in the valley between.
but as a general military proposition
such feat is fatal or wasteful be-
cause Of the destruction that could
come from the 'Black forest"
The American and French persist
ence and strength In the Juvigny dis
trict has worn down the German re-
sistance which appears to have been
particularly stiff.
1t was noted that the French ap-
peared to have been shifted somewhat
to the north of their recent opera
