Why Not Go to Sunday School?

Either Of the three Nezperce
Sunday schools is a wholesome
and attractive place to spend an
hour any Sunday morning, and
right now these schools are MAX
ing an earnest endeavor to bring
their total attendance up to 400
souls-old, young, hims or hers,
Christian or sinner-all count.
The attendance last Sunday
was fair, considering the incle-
ment weather conditions, but dis
appointment was apparent among
those directing the destinies Of
the schools. At the Community
church there were 10S answering
to roll call; lat the Brethren
church, 102; and at the Christian
church, 80.

Very Interesting Meetings.

This community will be glad
to learn that DR.. McCaughey will
continue through next Sunday
the series of meetings he is now
conducting at the Community

first Of the week carried back
to their friends and neighbors
glowing reports of the great
treat they had enjoyed, and inter-

NEZPERCE ORGANIZES
ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION,
Rousing Meeting Monday Night

The Nezperce Athletic Associa
ltion became tangible, active ele,
ment in this community as the re.
suit of a well-attended meeting
held at VIM. Sullivan S real es-
tate office in this city last Mon
day evening". Base ball, tennis
and gymnasium work are the
lines receiving immediate atten-
tion, and the way the dirt is fly
ing for these sports indicates that
real life will be very much in evil
dence around this healthy old
burg throughout the present sea-
son. The object of the or
ganization is the promotion Of all
clean sports.
Leo L. Robertson was elected
president Of the Association, G..
-. Pcnnell. vica-president, and
Hans Scheldnicht, secretary
treasurer. G.. G. Pennell, r. II.
Y. Moser and DR.. E. S. Peterson

Grangeville Electric Dam Work
ing.

| The new power dam of tn,
I; Grangeville Electric Light ant
| Power Co.. across the South Forl
of the Clearwater river, east OF
Grangeville. is almost completed
and the machinery for convert
ing the water pressure of the big
reservoir into electric energy
has been in operation there for
the past two weeks, and the
"juice" now being used by the
territory served by this COM
panv is all generated at this dam.
This is an Improvement which
entailed a large financial outlay
and which has been under way
for over a year. It's value to the
section served will be more APP
preciated as time goes on. For it
practically eliminates interfer-
ence with operation Of the plant
by freezing or thawing weather
and other climatic conditions. The
water is taken from the dam at
a point below the freezing line
and handled through modern tur-
bines, which, in turn, operate
electric generators of the latest
type. Furthermore, the energy
stored by the dam is calculated
to be sufficient to furnish all the
electric current this territory will
require for years to come.
The dam is made Of concrete; is
1863 feet long; measures 56 feet |
from the base to the top, and is
% feet thick at the base and 5 /
feet across at the top. Some fin
ishing touches are yet to be made
but it is now ready for all prac-
tical purposes. President w. Gil
Sivyer and ex-President Eugene
Enlow were recently down from
Spokane and made a thorough in
spection of the big improvement,
and found it quite satisfactory
and fully up to their expectations.
When autoing becomes good, it
will be worth anyone's while to
make trip to this power plant
and look it over. This can be
made conveniently by way of
1frangeville.

Remove Old Flags.

A returned member Of the Y. S.
Marine Corps suggests that insti-
tutions and communities which
permit old, tattered specimens of
what was originally the Stars and
Stripes to continue to hang over
their premises or in their midst
are not showing good taste or
proper respect for the National
Colors. The men. at least. who
followed that Flag through hell,
from Chateau Thierry to Ger
many expect to see it given due
consideration everywhere.

MARINE HERO FROM
CHATEAU THIERRY.
Sergeant E. p LANCER, an Old
Nezpercer, and Six Years
U. s. Marine. Back From
Big Push.

] 1t is not every community that
can boast once having had as a
citizen member of the United
States Marine Corps, and rare in-
deed are the towns from which
have gone young men who par
ticipated in the browning mill
tary exploit of the Great War
| the big irresistible push of the
u. S. Marine contingent at Cha
teau Thierry; the drive that turn
ed the tide of battle in favor of
the Allies. And this invincible
group of super-trained fighting
men of the Marine Corps remain
ed at the apex of the victorious
advance until Germany bent her
naughty knee and cried. "down. !"
Sergeant Langer, wearing two
medals for gunnery, has been
with the Marines for six years;
his service has taken him every
where, and he is a typical speci-
men of the Corps, of which Kip
ling said:
can after ! met him all over
the world, doin' all kinds
of things,
Like land 'isself with a gatling
gun. to talk to them 'eathen
kings.
'E sleeps in 'ammick instead
Of a cot, and e drills with
the deck on a slew,
For there isn't job on the top
o. the earth the beggar don't
know nor do.
Suth was the man General
Pershing chose to show the Allied
commanders further retreat of
their forces was unnecessary.

md he has decided to spend the
hene: on remain until
such time as he may be recalled

lite leave by being placed on the
Inactive list.
Sergeant LANCER embarked for
france as a member of the 9Th
Separate Marine Corps on the
5th of last May. and by the end
# that month was helping ram
he fear of God down the throats
# the Huns at Chateau Thicrry.
Ie was also a participant in the

There is experience enough in
his mans career to fill large
'olume, every line Of which would
e extremely interesting; yet he
ave up the little we have here
ct down only after much quest
oning, and as dispassionately as
hough he were telling Of the
lost trivial occurance.
In the earlier days Of this COM
1unity he, with his parents and

and stock raising here.

Government To Recognize
 Rights Of All Peoples

Washington, April 4-Private and official advices from Mexico City with in the last few days were interpreted as clearly indicating a sudden change fin sentiment in the republic toward foreign investments in Mexico and that the coming session of congress will clear the atmosphere of much of the hostility shown since the adop- ton of the 1917 constitution.
 The AmcEaosn oil interests in Mex ico, it was learned, have not receded from the stand originally taken that their vested rights in Mexico must be recognized and that the anti-for- eign and confiscatory features of the new constitution must not operate, ex- post facto, against them. Nor have they shown any inclination to waive the rights in property which were purchased under the existing laws of Mexico but which were jeopardized by the new constitution.
 The American, British and French government have protested to the Mexican government against the op- eration of certain parts of the consti- tuition which were termed "confisca- tory"
 From recent adviCes, it appears, the new attitude of the Mexican peo- pie, and it is believed in official circles
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-04-04

that this attitude is inspired by the government, is to recognize the rights of all people, including foreigners, to their vested rights under interna- tiOnal law.
 The recent visit of Rafael Nieto. acting minister of finance in the Mex ican government. to New York where he consulted international bankers re- garding the prospect of a loan to Mex icO, and the correspondence which has taken place between former Min ister of Finance Limantour and Pres ident Carranza, which results in the latter extending an invitation to Pres ident Diaz's experienced financial aide, are believed to have been two inf1u- ences that have changed the stand of the Mexican government.
 NietO is known to have met with no success and with little encourage ment in New York beyond a promise of consideration of the request when Mexico showed she would accord proper treatment and protection to l foreign investors. Limantour must have advised Carranza, officials be- Iieve, that it would be impossible to secure financial aid for Mexico SC long as the government maintained d it's hostile attitude toward foreign in- 1 VeStOFs

Must Release Naval Reserves
 Upon Declaration Of Peace

of such officers would be accepted as additional officers were made or ap- pointed in the temporary or perman- ent naval force.
 Our troops < road must be brought hOme.' sad the departn ent' s announcement, and they must be fed and provided for over there before they come home. Our associates in the war still require food and provis- ions. To do this work, the navy to- day is operating 11O troop transports and 220 cargo carriers. The temper ary officers of the navy are making this work possible because the de- partment can count upon holding item for six months after peace is signed.
 ''The regular navy is busy keeping the fighting forces on edge, the re- servists are going out fast and will be obliged to go as soon as peace is signed, which will leave the bulk of the temporary officers available and necessary to transport and provision our troops over there adjustments in personnel are quickly being made with this end in view"
