Two Hour Drive Last Sum
day Makes Up Full Bud
get For Ensuing Year
CAMPAIGN FOR MONTH
Endowment Funds Left Intact for
Other Purposes During the
Ensuing Year

As result of months campaign
and a two hour drive last Sunday the
Church of the Messiah have raised by
pledges their budget for the coming
wear, which is more than it has ever
been before. Their slogan was $4,000
in Two Hours" and more than that
amount was raised by the busy So
licitOrs, leaving the endowment funds
intact for other purposes than run
ming expenses.
In celebration of this successful
work jubilee and right good time
was enjoyed by the workers and all
interested in the church, who were
able to be present, Monday evening,
A banquet was served at 6 O'Clock,
and all who patronize the clam
chowder suppers at that church,
know what the ladies could do in this
line on such an occasion as this. Mrs.
Fred Babcock was chairman of the
banquet committee land members OF
the Troop No. 8 of the Boy Scouts
were walters. Following the banquet
came the announcement of the sue
cessful drive, which was received
with almost uncontrolled applause
and rejoicing. Old and young alike
expressed themselves in word and ac-
ton. Sixteen members of the Boy
Scouts gave a drill; the chorus choir
of the church sang several songs, in
cluding some original songs compos-
ed by the pastor, Rev. H. G. d.
Scott, for the occasion; Carlton Felch
recited a poem committed to mem
oly nearly so years ago; remarks
were made by number present;
and Charles p. French read an ori-
ginal poem written by Fred Babcock
and sent from Boston, also especially
prepared for this jubilee meeting.

MEXIC0'S POSITION
CAUSES ANGER in
ALLIED COUNTRIES

WASHINGTON, April 29-Inter-
est is focused on the rapidly ap-
preaching Japanese and Mexican crl-
ses. While presenting two distinct
problems, it is felt they are one in
spirit, and with them looms sinister
German spectres in every phase of
activity.
Mexico intensified the hostility to-
ward it by the allies when, yesterday,
it announced it would not agree to
the application of the armistice terms
in so far as they affected German in
vestmcnts in Mexico. The terms of
the peace preliminary required Ger
many to hand over to the allies,
among it's securities, all its Mexican
resources CT whatever nature. Mexi-
co refuses to recognize the mandate
of the trustees, and says her consti-
tuition forbids it.
1t may be said, however, President
Carranza knows full we'll his con-
tention on the allies, who, it is like
ly, have well under way plans to
impress Carranza with the SOLDERING
thought of forcible measures. 1t is
felt here Carranza is not, depending
upon the loyalty of his own faction
in seeking to aid the cause of Japan
and Germany as he has been doing
for some time.
