TO AID FAMILIES
OF SOLDIER BOYS
Local Chapter Of Red Cross Has Spe.
cial Committee to Look After
Those Left Behind.
MANY BENEFITS ARE OFFERED
Kin Of Men in Service Can Come to
Civilian Relief Committee When
In Trouble.

II is not only the boy at the front
or in training who is learning to think
Of the Red Cross as his friend.
In accordance with the general pol
icy of the National Red Cross, the
Rock Island chapter is making an &C
tive effort to serve in many ways
those left behind by the men in khaki.
When the government announced its
plan of granting allowances to SOL
diers' dependents, and of issuing SOL
diers' insurance. the local chapter,
through itg civilian relief committee,
caused notices to be inserted in local
papers offering the services Of the
committee in making out proper ap-
plication. In addition 26 notices were
sent to churches, so that announce
ments of these government benefits to
which every enlisted man is entitled
might be made from the pulpits.
The families of Rock Island boys in
service and the boys themselves took
good advantage of the offer OF the
local committee for the Red Cross sent
out over twenty personal letters IN
response to as many written inquiries
from those who wished to know what
to do and how to do it.
During the past year the civilian re-
lief committee has also directly aided
in the financial welfare of the folks
at home" There are times when the
army pay does not come just when
expected, so that remittances to those
left behind do not come when needed.
There are other times when govern
ment allowances do not arrive in time
so that the rent or grocery bill can be
paid The Rock Island chapter had
stepped in with the needed bit in nine
such cases.
Ask Aid Any Time.
This is the type of work which is
known as Red Cross Home Service
The local chapter wants every sol
dier's family in Rock Island to feel
free to come at any time to the Red
Cross rooms with questions or prob
lens of any kind. The Red Cross is
anxious to serve in every possible

MODE OF BAPTISM IS |MMATER|AL
 SAYSDR. EDMONDS
Pastor Independent Church Spoke to Large Congre- gation at the Lyric
 Last Night

Dr. II. M. Edmonds of the Independ- ent Presbyterian church, is preaching series of sermons on the outstanding in- cidents in the life of Jesus at the even ing services at the Lyric The Baptism of Jesus" being the subject of last night, which was heard by a large congrega- tion
 John. to whom Jesus came for bap- tism, was a great man in his day, sald Dr. Edmonds. "The public sought hlm' but, unlike many public men, he was not infalted by pride the charm of humility was his John was intolerant of man and his weaknuess, but was humble be- fore God. The mode of baptism is inn material, whether it is by immersion or by sprinkling. The act is an imitation into the church of God. It is the flag of the church, All men may know py this act that a man has associated hiin- self with the visible church of God. Ihe water means nothing, it is merely the outward sign of inward grace. Neither does the method count for anything; IL is the principle beneath the method
 "Obey the command, believe, repent, be baptized with the spirit, that cleans eth the making clean inside. When Jesus went down to be baptized by John, he established the custom of imitation into the church, which He loved and for which He gave himself" Dr. Edmonds then drew a beautiful word picture or the transfigured couptenance of Jesus as He emerged from the water ana me dove descending from the heavens, the voice which declared Him to be the Son of God
 You practical business man, hard headed and sure of yourself, reading a passage like this, you are stumped, you can't believe in this voice and sign,' said the preacher. Remember the writers of these things were mystical, poeticai Syrians who saw and heard angels and voices always about them, and who shall say they did not see them? When the thin partition which separates shall be torn down, many things will surprise us. Don't doubt everything that you can- not see and understand.
 In closing the speaker urged his audi ence to affiliate themselves with some church of whatever denomination that appealed to them most, so that the church shall become the more nearly per- feet church of God.
 owen Gillespy delighted the audience with a solo, "God Save Our Men" which he sang with rare feeling.

RABBI MAX HELLER
 SPEAKS ON z|ON|SM
Recognition of Jews as a Nation Would Aid Civili-
 zatiOn, Is Stated

congrega ton that taxed the capacity of the spacious auditorium of the kesseth Israel synagogue were present last night when Rabbi Max Heller of New Orleans made an address on the Zionist move ment. pr. Heller is a publicist and writer of national fame as well as noted pulpit orator. pr. Heller made an eloquent and instructive address, in which he emphasized the principles for which the Zionists were striving. lie was given the closest attention by the large audience, which included practical ly all the members of the local Zionist or ganization.
 In speaking of the principles of the Basic programme, which seeks to obtain for the Jewish people publicly recog- nized home in Palestine Dr. Heller stated that with the recognition of the Jewish people as nation, their oppor- tunites to further the advancement of civilization all over the world would be greatly enhanced
 He declared that the fact that the Jews had a national existence would not affect their loyalty to the country of their adoption but that it would tend to strengthen them in their allegiance to such country. He spoke of the great part the Jews were playing in the world s war and of their unswerving loyalty to the flag they lived under.
 pr. Heller was the recipient of much entertainment yesterday by the local Zionists, which included reception al the Young Mems Hebrew association by the Hadassah club, the woman's branch of the organization.

ITALIAN AWATORS
 PREVENT ANOTHER
 ATTACK ON PADUA
Enemy Flyers Are Turned From Their Course by a Strong Defensive
 Force in Air

Italian Headquarters in Northern Italy, Saturday, January 5.AtBy the Associated Press. )-Padua was spared another air raid last night, largely through the dar- ing of Italian aviators who went into the air an hour before noonrise and formed an aerial cordon around the city, meet ing enemy machines as<they advanced. The enemy avia tors seeing the heavy concentration, diverted their course. so- ing to Mestre, Bassano and Castel-Fran. co. where they caused some casualties and considerable loss at the last place. British avfators are doing especially good work. Their latest exploit was the de- struction of an enemy balloon at Suse- gana and the bringing down of an enemy airplane by gunfire.
 The artillery action along the moun- tain and Piave fronts is intermittent ana no longer shows the, intensity of a big offensive. Along the upper Piave enemy batteries have been virtually silent Tor week, indicating either a shortage or ammunition or a possible movement or forces westward to other fronts.
 Weather conditions continue abnor- mally good with clear days and nights. The temperature usually is above freez- ing and there is almost no snow. Weather experts believe the season now is so far advanced heavy snows are un- likely until the regular Alpine snowfails, beginning in February.

 The Bishop of London, speaking at St. Paul's cathedral, said:
 'If there is one thing absolutely cer- tain today, it is that the nation was right in August, 1914, i'll leaving the peaceful security of the home and plung- ing into the welter of blood which we call the great war. We have had sorrow and we have had tears, but the sorrow was a noble sorrow and the tears were the tears of pride well as those of grief
 After paying tribute to the valor and unselfish service of British men and women, the bishop said:
 Let us thank God today for the com- ing into of the war of the great power in the vest"
 One of the features of the occasion vas the closing today of all saloons for the first time since the war began.
