Foes Defense Line Well Chosen
4 question of interest is to know
whether Won Boehm will be able to
block our road northeastward from
Chateau-Thierry The line of defense
chosen by the German commander for
his immediate resistance is very strong
one. running from Bezu. village about
five miles due north of ChateauThierry
to Mont St Pere. opposite Mezy on the
north bank Of the ATarne. The line has
been chosen with considerable clever
ness. It runs along a road five miles
long. which connects the two villages
along the northern slopes of a plateau
which would have to he climbed by the
attacking Allies under full exposure to
the enemys fire. It is well support ed
on its right by woods and on its left
by the Marine at a point where steep
banks render the river nearly unCross-
able The line evidently will prove hard
to. force. but in any case it can afford
the enemy only temporary respite. as
the whole of his front frcn Scissors
right around 70 Rheims is strongly
threatened at every point and must be
hung on to desperately everywhere.

KEEP UP YOUR NERVE,
GERMAN PAPERS PLEA
Cologne Volks Zeitung Urges
Faith in Military Ability
to Escape
Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger
The HaRue July "a


The Hague, July "a.
Today's Cologne Volks Zeitung says
that Sundays military report fully ex-
plains the situation. and there Is nothing
to add. TT is only a question Of the
critical phase which win occur on both
sides in every big war. But we do not
doubt that the military strategy Of head
quarters will succeed in mastering the
situation"
However, says the paper, owing to the
peoples infinite trust in the military
leaders, there are factors at work to sow
distrust in the mind of the people, and
that there have been rumors spread that
an attempt was made on Hindenburg's
and on the Kaiser's life. The paper con-
tinues that Sundays and Mondays re-
ports show that new form of warfare
Is being carried on in the Marne and
Champagne districts, and that the SOL
diers no longer lie for weeks in trenches.
Instead, the paper says there are hum
dreds of examples to show that move
ments backward or forward are un-
avoidable, and that an apparent retreat
often has the most valuable results.
The paper quotes as examples the winter
Of 1914 and 1915, when Hindenburg al
lowed the Russians to take half of Po-
land.
Nevertheless. the paper adds, it is nec-
essary to warn the people not to lose
their nerve, pointing out that nerve is
necessary behind the front as much as
at the front.

Division of Church Into Episcopal Districts Favor
 ed by Convention

Atlanta, Ga, May 16.-Division of tho church into episcopal districts and adoption of the majority report of the committee on church relations which called for continuation of ne- gotiations for the union of the North ern and Southern branches of Ameri- can Methodism we're the outstanding features of today's meeting of the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church south in session here. Altho the time set for adjourn mcnt has been fixed for next Monday, it was believed tonight the conference may complete it's work by Saturday night.
 The Rev. James Cannon, Jr., of Blackstone, Va.. was chosen a bishop at the morning session to serve in the place of the Rev. F. N. Parker, who declined the office on the ground that "after prayer" he felt he twas not qualified to fill the position" and that he was in bad health.
 Bishops to Live in Cities Debate of the report of the com mitee on episcopacy requesting divis- ion of the church into episcopal dis tricts consumed virtually all the after.
 neon session. Fourteen districts con-
 prising all of the conferences were
 named. Bishops were requested to reside in their districts and to fix their residences in the principal cities of their territory. A number of ad-
 dresses were made against the pro
 posed legislation on the ground that it was not for the best interests of the church. It was also urged that the present plan of episcopal super vision was not satisfactory. The con- ference voted however, 1855 to A, in
 favor of the committee report. A minority report of the committee on publishing interests was adopted
 Hereafter, the election of the publish ing agents will be taken out of the
 hands of the general conference and
 delegated to the book committee. This
 committee also will name the salar- ies of the several secretaries of the
 church board.
 A report of the Sunday Schoo Beard showed the total enrolment o1 Sunday school scholars to be 1901 ,971
 and the total gain during the quadren- nium to be 272,2S1. The sum of
 SSS4,3O3 was raised by the Sunday l schools for missions.
 The conference placed itself on rec
 ord as being opposed to the proposed
 changes in the existing membership test of the Youn~ Woman's Christian Association by the personal declara-
 ton, "lt is my purpose to live as d
 true follower of the. Lord Jesus
 Christi" in place of the present re-
 quircmcnt of membership.

A motor car is really self-running machine. The difference is that real hills are better than play ones, but one has much the same panoranl,. sort of pleasure except that, instead of sitting in row of ten cent seats with a great mass of people in the jerky and the clickety dark. one sits securely and privately in ones own moving picture machine and does ev- erything ones self.

 An inside bath is had by drinking each morning, before breakfast, a glass of real hot water with tea spoonful of limestone phosphate in it to wash from the stomach, liver kid neys and ten yards of bowels the previous days indigestible waste, sour fermetations and posons, thus cleansing sweetening and freshening the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach.
 Those subjects to sick headache, bill iousness, nasty breath, rheumatism, colds; and particularly those who have pallid, sallow complexion and who are constipated very often, are urged to obtain quarter pound of limestone phosphate at the drug store which will cost but trifle, but is sufficient to demonstrate the quick and remarkable change in both health and appearance, awaiting those who practice internal sanita- tion. We must remember that inside cleanliness is more important than outside. because the skin docs not ab sorb impurities to contaminate the blood while the pores i'll the thirty feet of bowels do.-(Adv.)
