EFFORTS TO BE MADE
FOR SERVICES SUNDAY.

Efforts will be made to have the
local Board OF Health permit Sunday
school and church services for two
hours from 10 to II O'Clock Sunday,
provided the ruling against public
gatherings is extended beyond the 7th
the time when the present quarantine
is to be lifted unless there is a further
order.
The position is taken that the Sun
day schools and churches have an im-
portant function and that service
should be granted at least once each
week.
It will be argued that dangers from
crowds will be minimized by reason
Of the fact that the attendance at
these services will be small.

enza in and near Hendersopville.

The German socialists have not taken
kindly to the German governments
attitude toward President Wilson's
last peace message. During the de-
bate in the reichstag on Won Hertling's
speech Phillip Scheidemann, socialist,
took the emperor to task for his reply
to the address of the burgomaster Of
Hamburg, in which the emperor said:
I'VE desire TO live in friendship with
neighbOring peoples, but victory for
the German arms must first be rec
ognized."
1.-THE imperial chancellor frankly
stated yesterday that he accepted
President Wilson's four principles"
said Scheidemann. "This declaration
Is all the more important when one
considers that President Wilson EN-
phasized that his principles were ac-
cepted everywhere except by the Ger
man military and annexationist party.
Well, this party, fortunately, is in this
country no longer of decisive impor-
tance."

American forces occupy splendid po-
sitions throughout practically the en-
tire line. They are in nearly all cases
on the high ground, and it is these
strong defensive positions against
which Germany must throw her shock

price these troops will pay for even an
attempt to break through will be ter
rife. and in all probability more than

she is so dominated by German infiu-
ence that it is hardly possible for her
to break away. The hold Of Germany
is maintained through the Austrian
army which has been very largely Ger
manized since the war began.
So it is believed that AustrS Will

has lost 3,5OO,O00 men, her food situ-
alton is desperate, and the future,
even II Germany could win, is dark
for her. for greater Germany would
only mean a more impOtent Austria,
but she cannot break away. She
must continue in the war under pain
of being stamped on by the nation
that has her in its power.

The German invasion of Russia
mysteriously slowed up and on March
first it was reported from London that
the forward movement of the Huns
had been stopped on orders from Ber-
lin. At the same time reports from
Petrograd were to the effect that the
bolsheviki were preparing to make the
best possible defense of that city If
1t was attacked.
On February 2S it was reported from
Petrograd that the allied ambassadors
had left the Russian capital for 81
IBERIA. 1t is unlikely that they will be
able to reach the Pacific coast at
VladivOstOk in less than close to three
weeks, and the probabilities are that
they will be seriously mOlested by the

While the allied commanders realize
that the expected German offensive will
be a staggering blow to Withstand, they
are confident that the western line will

SHELL-SH0CK CURE
FOUND IN COLOR

LONDON. Jan. THE psychol-
ogy of color has been demonstrated
as a cure for certain cases of she'll
shock and neurological diseases i'm
the McCaul Hospital for Officers
here.
The most eficacious colcring idea
is that which impresses upon the
subcOnscious being of the patient a
sense of the delights of springtime.
CHEEKY, yellow walls. armament
blue ceilings, judicious use of the
violet-ray lowered ioveriets on the
beds and certain select perfumes
waiting through the ward have been
producing marvellous effects. The
cOlors blend into ineffable shades
which compel the patient TO let his
mind rest with pleasure on the
beauty Of color surrounding him
and the ecstacy of perfume assail-
ing his sense of smell.
Despite several serious cases en-
tered at this hospital the cures so
far are 100 per cent.
