Take the story OF Lakeville,

Fresh from his theological STUDIES,
Charles NJ. Mcconnell went to Lake

Methodist church there.
Mcconnell was sent to Lakeyille

The new pastor found moribund
church and an epidemic OF hog chol-
era. Mcconnell preached dynamic
sermons. But he did not neglect to
send to the State University for
cholera serum,
Two members OF the church met
some boys later, and conversation
veered to the pastor. One was du'
bious about his theology.

said the other, but do know that

so until the armistice was signed.
Our first work was the defense of
.Alsace Lorraine which lasted from
July until September 22nd. Then we
left this sector and went up to the
Verdun front, where it was more ac-
tive and 1t was no trouble to hear the
big G. 1. cans come whistling through
the air anytime-or this is what the
boys called them. One day as we were
going into the lines l met colored
boy coming from the front. He said.
Say Mr., you better not go up there.
for Jerry is sending over them iron
foundries and he don't care if he hits
you" We did not turn back, but If
you had been there 1 guess you would
have seen he was right
1t was on the 18th of October when
we went over the top little bit north
or Verdun. We advanced some s or 10
kilometers through an artillery and
machine gun barrage, but we gained
our objective and held II until we were
relieved by the 26th Division.

PHONE SERVICE BETWEEN
 KEY WEST AND HAVANA

San Juan, Porto Rico, May 22. Cor rcspondence of The Associated Press) Direct telephone service between Key West and Havana will be a real ity by December. according to Colonel Sosthenes Behn. who announces that the submarine telephone cable con meeting the mainland and Cuba which was planned before the war will be laid eWithin the next few months.
 At present the most prominent American and English engineers are working on the scheme. acording to Colonel Behn and the laying of the ca ble will he commenced this summer.
 The submarine telephone from Cuba to Key West, according to Colonel Behn, is but the first leg of a cable telephone system which in time will connect all of Greater Antilles.
 "The development of the telephone during the war has made it possible for us to plan now for a submarine telephone cable system which three years ago was not dreamed of,' said Colonel Behn "The first leg of the system from Key West to Havana in itself will be the longest submarine telephone in the world. At present the submarine telephone across the Eng fish channel is the longest"
 MT Behn was president of the Gu ban Telephone Company when the United States entered the war. He volunteered and was commissioned a captain in the Army Signal Corps. He is connected with banking interests ir 1 Cuba.

SHELL USED TO TRANSMIT
 MESSAGES DURING WAR

New York. June 5.-A hollow three inch she'll. fused to emit on striking gas of smoRc-like density by day, and luminous at night and used to trans init messages from division head quarters, to advanced or exposed po- sitions, is another wartime secret which has now been made public.
 This form of communication was first used by the Germans. and after ward adopted by the allies. A sample of the shell-one that was captured from the enemy during the St. Mihiel drive-was brought home by Vice Ad- miral Albert Gleaves on his return from France.
 According to Admiral Gleaves, the shell has range of about 1000 yards, and is self propelling: Its velocity was such as to require IA seconds to tra- vel that distance. slow enough" the admiral said. to enable an active man to dodge it. should he see or hear it coming. When it struck, it could be readily located by its smoke cloud by day, or it's light by night, pickek. up, a cap unscrewed and the message in- side delivered to the officer for whom it was attended.

CAUSE OF PRESENT DISORDERS IN EGYPT

in Egypt. the delegation was held re- sponsible.
 "The chairman, Saad Zagloul Pasha. former minister of education and later of justice, and now vice president of the Egyptian legislative assembly; {; sIsmail Sidkey Pasha, former minister of religious .endowments; Hamed Fl Basil Pasha, one of the leading Be- douin chiefs and a member of the legislative assembly; and myself were arrested on March and deported to Malta without any charge or inquiry.
 "The Egyptian people almost to a man demanded our immediate release and the immediate departure of the delegation for Europe. Their indigna- : tion' reached very high pitch when they saw in this violo ion of individual liberty an attempt / depriving Egypt from enjoying the lpertl principles of President Wilson. and they also saw that all the enormous sacrifices which in the language of General Allenby were to very large extent responsi- ble for the decisive victory over the Turks were in vain.
 Representative Egyptians from Al exandria to Assuan lodged a stern pro- test against such a treatment. Young men and the students made peaceful demonstrations. but the British troops opened fire at them. Yet the demon stration continued and the fire of ma chine guns and rifles continued also. ! very large number were killed in Cai TO and the provincial cities.
 "This revolution is national move ment against a foreign domination which is abhorred by the entire Egyp l tian population. Mohammedans ant the Christians are in absolute ac cord. The Egyptian movement is nei
 ther religious nor anti-foreign. nor in stigated by Germany or Turkey. It i a deep rooted desire on the part of al
 the inhabitants of the Valley of tn
 Nile for the attainment of the inde pendence of their country"

U. S. A. OFFICERS ATTEND
 LECTURES IN BRITISH ISLES

London May 1.-Two thousand young American military officers, who have been detached from their com mands in order that they may attend lectures in the leading universities of the British Isles, are broadening their knowledge by seeing some of the countless points of interest with which the country abounds.
 London is their favorite hunting" ground. Westminster Abbey. St. Paurs Cathedral the houses of parliament, the tower of Buckingham Palace early claimed their attention. They then turned to the haunts of Dickens, Johnson and others whom they look ed upon as old friends.
 Now that spring has come they are extending their search to the London suburbs and to ether parts of the country.
 Yesterday numbers of the student officers sought such places as Hamp- the world over for their varied and beautiful foliage. Many of them are engineers, and with a thrifty thought | for the future slung their cameras | over their shoulders and prepared to preserve for future reference such bits l of landscape gardening as caught their 1 individual fancies. But in this they
 were disappointed. for the ancient but 1 polite guardian at the Kew gate tenn porarily collected the cameras and told | them Sunday photography was forbid i den in Kew. Sis-' @ | Journeys into Scotland and Ireland | interest many of the men and they l return to London as a rule, pleased with the people and with their treat ment. The start is usually made from
 the busy Euston station Saturday af- ternoon, and Tuesday night usually finds them back in the city ready fol work.
 dozen or more of them fpent g recent Sunday at Killarney and, desir- ing to go through the Gan of Dur
