 The Methodist church was crowded to it's capacity last night when the final appeal from the platform was made for the drive by Dr. Jno. C. Williams. Dr. Williams related the corrupt conditions that prevail in Ger many and the ungodly practices which were taught by the men of learning some of them being that part of the bible was a myth and no sane man believed it. Sunday was just the same as a week day in all the empire and no reverence was shown on this day, everything being wide open. He went back into history and showed that every nation that forgot God had gone as Germany is going-to hell.

S|NN FE|NERS BEING
 DEPORTED TO WALES
British Government Has Irish Situation Well in Hand Troops Guarding Government Buildings and Railways.

London, May 19.-The government at last accounts tonight had the Irish situation we'll in hand.
 A desperate eleventh hour attempt to turn the tables on the government forces was made yesterday by Sim Feiners, in County Tyrone, while Wis count French's dragnet was gathering in 800 men and women conspirators in the German-Irish revolt plot.
 A crowd of masked men stormed Barncourt Castle, the seat of the Duke of Abercourt. and made an un- successful search for arms.
 There has been scarcely any blood shed in the island-wide roundup of plotters. Except for abortive raid of Barncourt Castle the only disturb ance reported so far took place at Skibbereen, where seven Sim Feiners resisted constabulary forces that tried to arrest them.
 One of the protestants is reported to have been shot in the arm. Troops are guarding the government build ings and railways in Cork.
 A vessel carrying 73 Sim Fein prisoners left Kingstown, Ireland, last evening, says Dublin dispatch to the Central News Agency. It is under stood the ship is proceeding to Holy head, Wales. A large crowd cheered as the ship departed, but the demon strators were dispersed quietly.

Headquarters the American Troops With the British Forces, May IT, The American troops are putting the finishing touches to the preparation for active fighting behind the British line in beautiful rolling country, which resembles Western New York in full bloom. The Americans started this morning on maneuvers in which they took their first long hike in heavy marching order under a broil- ing sun.
 After six hours the Americans were still full of go when the correspondent encountered long line of infantry men resting in the shade of hedge. Some were footsore, but the opera tions were going on to the satisfaction of the officers.
 ''They have covered a good deal of ground before, but it was cool" said the colonel in command. "This is their first trial under heat and they are standing it we'll"
 The men are pictures of health and appear to be trained to the hour for hard fighting. All were in good humor, even those with blistered feet.
 Hail! hail! Hhe gangs all here." called one who, outdistaneed by his company, came limping along down the dusty road under a heavy pack.
 Besides maneuvers and regular ex- ercises the boys are being coached to

NEW REGULATION PLAN
They Are Becoming More and More
Rigid for All in Camp.

The rigid regulations to which
civilians employed in Camp Funston,
or those seeking employment here are
to be subjected, are emphasized by
an order issued stating everybody
must fill out a QUESTIONABLE giving
the applicants life history, his habits
nature of his employment and score
of other things.
While it will not be compulsory
this month, next month every civilian
must file his finger prints and a pho
tograph of himself at division head
quarters. The extreme Tightening on
the liberties of civilians is msrely a
step toward being prepared in any
emergency and at the same time of
having full explanation of each and
every man on the reservation, and his
reason for being here, officers say.
A similar record is kept of enlisted
men.
If a person is of foreign birth he
must state his history since coming
to this country. In the questionnaire
each applicant must state whether he
was ever arrested, and if so, for what
offense; whether he drinks whisky.
wine or beer, or INDUCES in opium
morphine or other narcotics. He must
delve into his parentage, and he must
state whether he has subscribed to
the liberty loan and the Red Cross
fund.
From now on, only under the most
extreme conditions will passes be is
sued to any civilian allowing him To
stay within the camp after 80 o'cIock
