Philadelphia-The Methodist church

sible, foreign language services from
its churches and Sunday schools. An
nouncement to this effect was made
at its annual session of the Methodist
board of Home Missions. Though COM
plimenting the German churches up
on their loyalty and their home mis-
sionary work among Poles, Russians,
Bohemians, Serbians and Hungarians,
it was declared that the board will re-
fuse further financial aid to any Ger

an English-speaking church when a
proper opportunity is presented.

SURVEY PARTIES NEEDED By
CONSTRUCTION DIVISION OF
THE ARMY

Washington, d. c., October l2-The
Construction Division of the Army Is
without doubt, the most extensive or
ganization of its kind In the history
OF the world. The approximate value
of construction projects undertaken
by this branch of the Government
since the United States entered the
war is one billion dollars The fig
ures representing the material used
and the men employed are staggering.
100000 workmen have been under the
control of the Division at one time.
Among the Divisions present urg-
ent needs are SO chiefs of survey
party at $1,000 to $4,000 a year; SO
transit men at $2,4OO a year; 25 level
men at $1,000 a year; 1875 rodmen at
$1,000 year, and so topographic
craftsmen at $1,000 a year. These po-
sitions are open to men only except
the drafting positions, which are open
to both men and women. All of the
positions are in the civil, not the mill
tary, service.
Persons interested should apply to
the United States Civil Service Com
mission, Washington, d. c., or to the
secretary of the local board of civil
service examiners at Boston, New
York, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Cincin-
natl, Chicago, st. Paul, st. Louis, New
Orleans, Seattle or Son Francisco.
Applicants will not be required to-
undergo a written examination, the
examination being of the "nonassem-
bled" tyne; that is, the ratings will be
based upon education, training, exper-
fence and physical ability as shown by
the applications and corroborative
evidence. These positions offer an ex-
cellent opportunity for patriotic SER
vice, and the Civil Service Commits
sion urges qualified persons to apply
without delay.

mo matter how far distant the day of
peace may prove to be-" the President
said, ut will be followed by long
period of rehabilitation, during
which the opportunity and need for
the constructive work of these or
CARNATIONS will be qupite as great as
in war times"
The letter follows:
The White House,
WASHINGTON, November 8, 1918.
My Dear MIR. Mott:
I am sure the people throughout the
country will understand why 1t is
that am unable to fulfill the desire Of
my heart to make public address at
this time in the interest of the APP
preaching campaign.
1t has been with sincere gratifica-
ton that l have observed the whole
hearted cooperation of the Young
Mems Christian Association, the
Young Women's Christian Association,
the National Catholic War Council,
the Jewish Welfare Board, the War
Camp Community Service, the Ameri-
can Library Association and the Sal
walton Army in response that they
combine their respective financial
drives in one United War Work Cam
paign November Ills to secure the
sum of at least $17O, 100000 for their
invaluable work.
The wise economy of money and eff
fort, the increased efficiency which
will result from blending of expert
ence, the creation of an atmosphere
of true understanding, the unmistak-
able evidence of a growing unity of
spirit and the influence of all this in
strengthening the nation all solidar-
ity is reassuring in the extreme.
AS you now stand on the threshold
of presenting your appeal to the en-
tire American people, / wish to renew
the expression of my conviction that
the service rendered by these welfare
agencies is indispensable, and my
earnest hope for the abundant success
of the campaign.
The inevitable growth of the army
and navy, and the multiplying de-
mands for our help from France, Italy
| and Russia, make it clear that a gen.
erous oversubscription is highly de-
sirable.
No matter how distant the day of
peace may prove to be, it will be fol-
lowed by long period of demobiliza
| ton, during which the opportunity
and need for the constructive work of
these organizations will be quite as
great as in wartime, and l am glad to
note that your plans contemplate
serving the soldiers and sailors in
this critical important period.
/ am particularly pleased to know
of the comprehensive program of edu-
cation to be carried out during the
coming months.
Gifts that provide the service which
this campaign makes possible are not
so much gifts to organizations as
