Our casualty record was also re-
Markable. 1t was estimated that about
10000 shells fell in our territory. and
yet not one of our men was killed.
We gave many concerts behind the lines
also, and on a number of occasions we
narrowly escaped an aerial lombard
ment one time the train which we
should have taken, and which We missed,
was blown to bits by shells"

CHURCHES AID SOLDIERS
Episcopal Brotherhood Seek S
Laymen in Solving War Problems

That every church in the country
should form Immediately an active or
ganization among its layInen to help
returning soldiers and sailors of their
respective communities is the basis of
reconstructive program launched by the
army and navy department of the
Brotherhood of st. Andrew with head
quarters at the Church House.
AS laymen's organization of the
Episcopal Church, which has been doing
practical work for more than twenty
five years, the brotherhood has carried
it's program to the' camps since this
country entered the war. With the re-
construction period it has developed a
plan which it hopes to carry 10 every
church in the country.
"The brotherhood lays. no prior claim
TO this plan" says +. $. Ellsworth, ex-
ecutiVe secretary. I'VE have asked for
practical suggestions from soldiers and
civilians alike who have faced the war
problems of the last months, and we
have merely gathered together their sug-
gestions.

Conference of Leaders of
Movement Against Covenant
Scheduled Next Week

Further plans for the establishment
of national organization to combat the
league OF nations were announced by
George Wharton Pepper. who has been
named to convene the body at its initial
meeting. This meeting will take place
either in New York or Washington
some time next week. Mr.. Pepper has
been asked to serve as chairman
Of the board Of directors of the new
organization. but he declined yesterday.
saying he believed the Office should not
be filed until the association is orean-
l2ed. He will open the organization
meeting. however. In a statement ex-
planning the purposes of the new body.
Mr.. Pepper said. in part:
THE organization will be nonpartisan,
While no formal organization meeting
has Yet been held. there is a concens,,s
Of opinion that the honorary Chairman
should be Colonel Watterson. II is un-
derstood that he will accept the position.
The announcement from Paris, that no
changes in the proposed Constitution
can be considered makes it useless for
us 10 propose a substitute measure. The
people of the United States are in effect
told that we may take what is offered
or nothing. We believe that the thine.
offered is so dangerous that under po
circumstances should we accept it.
