cluded in the total under the heading
Action Of efficiency boards the re-
port says. were thirty officers dis
missed by sentence of court martial.
The large number of officers
dropped can be satisfactorily ex-
planned. General Heavey said. by the
fact that only a small proportion had
had any military training while q sub
stantial proportion lacked the neces-
sary basic education and physical
qualifications.
The aggregate strength Of the ma

SNOW STORM u S
DELIGHT TO. KIDS

With two warm days the first snow
of the season had practically disap-
peared. The weather man evidently
took pity upon the Christmas shop
pers in the city this afternoon and
decided to send a fall of snow which
would give the holiday season a more
natural appearance. For who likes
to do Christmas shopping when the
sun is out and there is not a white
covering over the earth?
The children have been longing to
get out their skis and begin practic-
ing on the river banks and the various
hills surrounding the two cities. AL
though skating has been INDUCED in
by a few, there are man, other sports
such as tobogganing. skiing and coast
ing which must await the snow and
which with the present downfall will
be introduced into the amusements
program of the season. Hail the
snow!

from 5000 queries handled weekly by

the steady expansion of the American
army.
Because of the success of the COM

Treasury Explains.

This arrangement is explained by
the treasury as follows:
During any period when the trans
fer books for any particular loan are
closed no transfers of registered bonds
of such loan or interchanges Of reg
istered and coupon bonds of such loan
will be permitted, but if requests for
transfer of any such registered bonds
or interrhanges of any such register
ed and coupon bonds are received dur
ing any such closed period, the re
quests will receive attention on the re
opening of the books.
"The semi-annual interest will be
paid to the person in whose name
bonds are registered as shown by the
books of the treasury department >on
the late the books close regardless
of any disposition that may be made
by the registered holder during the
closed period. If coupon bonds are
| presented for exchange for registered
bonds during such closed period, the
coupon next due should be detached
an collected in the usual manner"

We are still in the midst of an ep-
idemic which is taking it's toll of life
and leaving on every side bereaved
hearts and home circles broken. We
wish to draw your attention to the
seriousness of this disease. and it is
the purpose of the pastor and Off
Gals of this church to observe strict
ly the quarantine and regulations of
the health officers, and we would
kindly urge all our people to contin-
to do likewise. We feel that by so
doing the epidemic will the more
quickly be overcome and things re-
sumo their normal course again.
Though we may be separated for a
time from assembling at the place
of worship, yet let us not neglect
the prayer life and the study of Gods
word in our homes.

December Is; on bonds of the second
loan, May Is and November 10; third
loan, March Is and September IS;
fourth loan, April Is and October Is.
The treasury also explains that ow-
ing to the mechanical difficulties Of
preparing millions of interest checks
on registered bonds, coupon bonds
will not be exchanged for registered
bonds or registered bonds transferred
on the books from n owner to an
other, during a month before an inter-
est paying date of each particular
loan.
For example, exchanges or trans
fers cannot be arranged for first loan
bonds between May Is and June l6;
and between November Is and Decem-
Der l6. For the second loan, these
dates would be April Is to May Is.
For the third loan, February Is to
March 16, and August Is to Septem-

Is to April Is, and September Is to
