FOch'S Prediction

Marshal Ferdinand Foch, in an in
,terview with Ward Price, Paris CORE
spondent Of the Daily Mail, predicted
that SO years hence the Germans, if
given an opportunity, will make an
other assault on France and Great
Britain. ''Now that we have reached
the Rhine we must stay here" Foch
was quoted as saying. "It is our only
safety. We must have it as a barrier
and we must double lock the door. The
next time the Germans will make no
mistake. They viii, break through
northern France and seize the chan
mel ports as a base of operations
against England"

Death Of Rev. Berthold Ehwald
(COnfrihI,fod

The deceased, Berthold Ehwald. was
born in Eisenach, Saxony, Germany.
March 3, 1864. In his early infancy
he was baptized, was thoroughly in
structed in the doctrines of the Iuth-
eran faith, and taken up as full mem
Der by rite Of confirmation in the wear
1879. Soon thereafter he entered the
training school for teachers, took the
full course, and graduated with hon
ors. For number of years he served
in the capacity of a private teacher,
later being employed by various in
situations which recognized his splen-
did gifts. He, however, felt called to
become a minister. AS opportunity
presented itself he came to America
and completed his education in theo-
logical school so as to fit him for the
ministerial call. He entered Luther
seminary at Alton, Mimi, where, af-
ter two years, he was graduated and
ordained in 1888 as pastor of the Ohio
synod. AS a minister he recognized
his high calling and served the Lord
with utmost zeal and faithfulness,
Since 1917 he has been pastor of St.
EmmanuePs Evangelical Lutheran
churchEof this village. The members
admired his sense of duty, his elo-
quence and deep learning in all mat
ters scriptural. In his intercourse
with his members he manifested an
affable and pleasing personality. His
studious habits kept him closely con-
fined Tor he was voluminous reader
and. fond of tackling intricate cues
tions. This accounts for his very deli
cate health and caused to a large ex-
tent his untimely death.
For about a year his delicate health
was shattered so that he was not
able to perform his ministerial duties.
While he hoped for improvement of his
condition, the disease made great in
roads and wasted his body to such an
extent that those near him feared for
his early demise. At Christmas he
realized the hopelessness of his condi-
ton. 1t was gradual descent to the
valley iof the shadow of death. On
Saturday morning he yielded his all
to/his Maker, who called him from
this world to better land.
= Those who mourn his untimely de-
parture are his widow, his two daugh-
tiers, Victoria and Alma, brothers,
relatives and his St. Emmanuel's
Evangelical church members. Upon
his death bed he expressed his graft
tude to his members, singly and COL
lectively, for their great patience and
for the splendid support given him
during his illness; he was served by
the devotion and love of the members
who gave him their full support and
salary up to the last moment, and al
ways expressed their willingness to
extend help where help was necessary.
The burial rites were conducted on
Tuesday afternoon at his church. Min
listers who had come for the occasion
were the Rev. Paul E. Rick and the
Rev. Emil Lekne, both of St. Paul, the
former preaching the German and the
latter the English sermon, while Err
nest Lehne, candidate of theology, con-
Quoted the altar service. St. Emmanu-
els was fully represented.
On Wednesday morning the body
was taken to Lester Prairie, where it
will rest under the hopeful queen of
pine trees he himself planted some
80 years ago, and where also his first
wife lies!

Foreston Goes Over Ton.

In the Victory loan campaign Fores-
ton was the first place to report and
the village has more than subscribed
it's allotment. The village of Prince
ton has also virtually gone over the
top. In consequence of the bad con-
ditions of the roads returns are COM

It is necessary that every town and
village put forth a strong effort in or

Ban Lifted on Soldiers Parcels.

All restrictions on shipments of
parcel post packages to soldiers over
seas have been removed. In the past
persons sending packages to soldiers
had to show requests from the boys
for the same. Now anything less than
seven pounds in weight may be sent
to the soldiers without the usual pre-
'liminaries.

Take-off on Old Fashioned
Singing School.

The Congregational people are put
ting forth an effort to erect a new
edlfice which will be credit to the
village. In consequence of the dilapi-
dated condition of the old church and
It's small seating capacity this is made
necessary and it is the aim of the
trustees to build a place of worship
which will be substantial in every de-
tail and accommodate the fast increas-
ing congregation. A church of the
sort contemplated will cost a con-
siderable sum of money-the esti-
mate being $4,000. While the people
are readily responding to the call for
contributions-several having donated
$1,000 each and others lesser amounts
1t will be necessary to resort to the
giving of entertainments and other
Measures in order to acquire the full
amount needed.
Hence, the first entertainment for
this purpose will be given by the Con-
gregationalists at the armory on Fri
day, May 2. This will be in the nature
of a farce entitled "The Singing
School," by the Low Holler Choral
Union, virtually take-off on the old
system of teaching vocalists. If the
rehearsals are any criterion this farce
should prove roaring success-the
armory should be packed with people.
Aside, of course, from the evenings
fun and the excellent musical selec-
lions, it should be taken into con-
sideration that the entertainment is
for the purpose of erecting a place of
worship which will greatly improve
the appearance of the town. The cast
OF characters for the play is as fol-

In connection with the obituary of
Mrs. Berry the relatives have request
ed the Union to give short account
of the celebration of Mrs. Berry's 8Oth
birthday anniversary, which occurred
on the Thursday prior to her death.
Upon that occasion the family and
relatives, believing that Mrs. Berry's
days were drawing to close and that
she would enjoy birthday party,
gathered at the home upon the day
named to do honor to this good wo-
man, and at that time her health con-
ditions permitted her to enjoy the
festivities. Mrs. Nettie Rooney was
there from Council Bluffs with the
birthday cake, while Mrs. A. D. Erkel
and Mrs. D. H. Cooper of Minneapolis,
Mrs. W. M. Steadman, Mrs. Dell Pier
son, Mrs. George Patten, Mrs. Ellen
Howard of Princeton and Mrs. Raleigh
Pope of Mora brought flowers. Many
others were in attendance and the
event was one of particular happiness
for the kindly octogenarian whose soul
is now reaping it's reward in heaven.
The family takes this means of sin
cerely thanking the friends who so
kindly assisted them during the i'll
ness and at the obsequies of their
mother.
