METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH

The goal set by the Centenary pro-
ject is to raise the standard of living
and the level of thought, to educate
those without advantages, to minister
to the wants of the sick, the orphans,
to aid backward churches and build
social centers; to extend the scope
and influence of Methodist missions
at home and abroad. One of the
features of this movement is the
Methodist Minute Men," There are
$4,000 of these men enrolled. At
the services five-minute talks are
made by these men. One of our men
will speak at the morning and even
ing service. This is the third week
in the stewardship campaign. Sun

WONDERFUL WORK
OF HOME SERVICE
Brings Cheer and Com.
fort to Soldier Boys

SETTLES PROBLEMS

The home service work of the Red
Cross Is it's most far-reaching and
one of its most appreciated branches.
Every Red Cross worker in hospital
canteen or with division wherever
our men are, is ready and anxious
to help them settle their problems
at home, thru the machinery of the
Red Cross organization.
The boys seem to think that the
Red Cross is all powerful, that it is
superior to commanding officers or
the laws of France. They turn to
1t with all their most delicate per-
sonal affairs-marriages, divorces
even, sure that theor confidence will
be respected with business matters
certain that it will be able to deal
with them adequately.
When l was at evacuation hospital
No. l, outside of Toul, my favorite
part of the work was helping the
patients and the hospital corps men
with their various problems, and they
were various.
They ranged all the way from
tracing mail which had gone astray
and inquiring why allotments to
families at home had been delayed
in payment, to request that find
a little French orphan, who must be
a pretty little girl aged six, of the
Catholic faith, willing to be adopted
and transplanted from her little
crooked village street, to the boys
mothers ranch in the prairies of
North Dakota.
Toward the end Of my six months
stay at the hospital, my home SER
vice work became so we'll known that
l began to feel like a long tablished
old family doctor. Boys used to walk
all the way out from town after dark
a matter of five or six kilometers,
to put their troubles into Red Cross
hands. One evening an Italian boy
came out to see me, with the naive
idea that by simply asking permis-
sion OF the Red Cross, he could de-
part on leave to see his parents in
Italy, before he should go back to the
States to be demobilized.
But interesting as the work is in |
the field, one does not realize the |
scope of it, until one |
comes to Paris to the busy offices of |
he home service department in the |
Hotel Regina. Yesterday l spent an
afternoon among, the neat blue fold
rs, each Of which contains all the
correspondence relating to one mans
'ase. AS one reads thru these fold
RS, one realizes the extent of this
work. which links boys in scattered
hospitals in Lorraine or fighting in
he north, to their families in
chicago or San Francisco.

ROAD BOOSTERS IN TOWN

Miss Luella Peterson was in town
Saturday afternoon with the big car,
and when asked about the roads
down toward Rockford she said,
Well the roads are Just exactly
what General Sherman said about
war;"
Mrs. Honnold was in from the
ranch Of the Idaho Land & Livestock
Co. Saturday morning with a few
boxes of red apples in her big car,
and she said the roads were in q
condition that was uncomfortable un-
less a person rides over them. She
said she hoped the people OF this
county will study the road question
right now, and be assured that these
things will keep recurring annually
until we build real roads. A streak
of mud in winter and streak Of dust
in summer with some good roads
thrown in by chance in fall and
spring are not much to do a years
work on.
Some fine fellow, whose name we
cannot recall, greeted ye editor Sat
urday evening and said, "Trego, Just
tell them for me that If the com
missioners will only build enough
real road between here and Snake
river bridge will be so thankful
will put up with all the rest Of the
distance without grumbling." He
was walking on the bitulithic paving
and pranced along as If he wished
the whole country was bitumen.
Richard Stevens wired in from the
Stevens ranch between the rivers one
day last week and said he wanted
to come to town, but had no biplane.

that we do not deny the extent Of our
defeat. We know the power Of the

unable to admit that Germany was sole

opportunity as regards Poland and fears
Ihat the Polish settlement may in the

entire treaty. 1t also believes that the
treaty will be judged least |favourably

London, May 9Th. The peace terms
while receiving considerable approval
from almost the entire press do not es-
cape sharp criticism on cer-ain points.
The objections centre mainly on the ques-
ton of financial compensation from
Germany. Some newspapers are dissa-
tisfed because they consider that the
terms are too severe. Others think they
are not severe enough. The Morning
Post finds it difficult to say whether the
treaty is good or bad because of the
'complexity and intricacy of the terms"
but is emphatic in declaring chat the va
lue of the treaty depends UPON the power
to enforce it as Germany certainly will
not accept it except under duress. The
Post" thinks that the indemnity con-
ditions are unsatisfactory and do not
fulfil the election promises OF the Govt.
However, it says, "On the whole the
treaty is better than might have been
anticipated. 1t has in it the PRINCIPLES
