The Inter-C Church World Movement.

Frequent reference is seen in the pa
Movement. but perhaps many people
do not understand just what it signi-
fies. Rev. C.. w. Clough. pastor of the
local Presbyterian church. spent sew
eral days last week in Cheyenne in
attendance upon the first public con
yention of the movement in Wyoming.
Rev. Clough represented at the con-
vention both the ~Presbytery of Lara
mie and the Carbon county evangelical
churches. he being survey leader for
this county. He characteriZes the con
vention, made up of fifty pastors of all
denominations and led by II team of
eight eastern speakers, as being unique
in nature and startling in its POSSIBLE
tiles.
This movement is not, as some sup
pose. for the merging of all denomina-
lions into one; but rather IA plan for
the cooperation of all the evangelical
churches of America in their work.
For this a great world program is now
being developed.
The first work undertaken. and
which is now in progress in Wyoming,
is a rural survey, taken by counties,
of every community and church in the
United States. This will give the
data for a united program. Later will
come a survey of foreign lands, and
n house-tO-house census in America.
. Also united budgets will be present
ed when prepared and united drives
initiated along the lines of publicity,
religious education. evangelism, etc.
Later in the winter a pastors con-
ference will be held in Wyoming. to
be attended by all the pastors of all
the churches. In due time. county
conferences will be held throughout
the state and the movement explained
and populariZed, and organized local
ly. 1t will be seen that while this
movement is in its infancy, it is big
in scope and marvellous in potential re-
suits. In its united power and ex-
haustive plans it may well merit the
description already given it. Of being

STOCK ASSOCIATION MEETING.
Good Attendance Considering State of
the Weather-Big Crowd at the
Dance After Meeting.

The semi-annual meeting of h Sara
toga Valley Stock Growers Association.
which was held ut Encampment last
Saturday. was quite well attended con
sidering the state of the weather. and a
big crowd was present mt the dance at
the City hall following the business ses-
sion.
\ blizzard of no small proportions
was raging during the entire afternoon
and evening, and the difficulty encount-
erred by the local train in getting
through to Encampment caused the
from afternoon until evening. and
about % of the members were i'll at
tendance.
Various matters of routine business
were attended to and Il number of mat
tiers of special interest were discussed
at some length. Considerable time was
given to- consideration of the plan for
employing range riders during certain
periods of the year to gather and look
after stock owned by the Association
members which had drifted into other
territory. and this matter will be taken
up for decision at the annual meeting
in June. 1t seemed to be the general
opinion Of the stockmen present that
the plan would be of much benefit to
all members. 1t was also decided that
a closer cooperation with neighboring
associations, particularly those Of
North Park and the Laramie Plains
country, would be of distinct advantage

GRAPE JUICE
COURT ASKED TO DETERMINE
IT'S INTOXICATING QUAIL
TILES.

Lead, Feb. 3.-In the trial of Steve
Pervetich, on charge OF having liquor
In his possession. the Lead municipal
court il confronted with the question
~ to whether wine or grape juice is
: fermeuted liquor, containing al
cohol.
The defendant contends that the
liquor seized In his home by the Of
ficers was not in fact wine; that it
had not reached the state of fermen-
tation In which alcohol Is formed.
II ID admitted It was grape juice and
eventually would have become wine,
but had not progressed that far when
the officers. acting on a Tip" swoop-
cd down upon the defendants home
and confiscated the alleged liquor
and took him into custody.
The state prohibition law does not
permit the sale, manufacture or pos
session Of q beverage containing any
amount OF alcohol; the smallest
amount Of alcohol present places the
beverage within the limits of the pro-
hibition law. The defendant also
contends that the alleged wines and
cordials taken from his home were
there before the statewide prohibit
lion law went into effect July i,
1917. and that consequently no ille-
sal act was committed in possessing
them.
The alleged wines and cordials
were found In the defendants house
II such quantities that the officers
had to commander a sleigh to con-
vey the liquor to police headquarters.

CONCRETE NOSE

New Type of War Craft Equipped
With Powerful Light
Guns.
CARRY CREW OF EIGHTY MEN
Long, Gaunt Weapon. Of War. OF All
Steel Construction, With the Ex-
ception of the Concrete Base
Vessel 10 Compact.

Detroit, Mich.-A long, narrow
wedge, with a steelincased nose of
solid concrete, tapered to a knifelike
edge, forming a considerable part of
its total length of 204 feet, and de-
clared to be capable Of crushing any
submarine-such Is the Eagle, de-
signed originally to help rid the seas
Of the menace of the German U-boats.
Contrary to popular belief, the
Eagle Is not a motorboat, but an oil
burning. steam turbine-driven craft
with a cruising radius of 5000 miles.
The Eagle is not a thing of beauty ;
beauty was not contemplated In its
construction. 1t is a long, gaunt
weapon of war. Of all-steel construc-
ton, with the exception of the con-
crete nose.
Another popular impression that has
been shattered Is an idea that the
Eagle boat is equipped with torpedo
tubes. The submarine chaser was
not intended to combat the major in
strument Of German ruthlessness with
its own weapons. 1t was designed to
depend rather upon its m%aneuvering
qualities. its powerful light guns and
a new American invention for direct.
ing Its fire at unseen objects.
Has Crew OF Eighty Men.
It's crew, including operating and
fighting complement, numbers approx
imately so men. To the observer, the
first impression Of the Eagle boat is
one Of wonder that a craft SO narrow
can possess buoyancy sufficient to keep
1t upright In heavy "a Despite its
length Of more than an average city
block, the craft has q beam Of only 25
feet. and draws when fully equipped
less than ten feet of water.
Its seaworthiness has been demon
strated In the official trials. according
to reports to the navy department.
While 1t Is admitted the Eagle does
not make the speed OF the average
destroyer, 1t is claimed that it can out
distance most submarines and the
razor-like edge Of the bow silently

happened had 1t come In contact with

Vessel 10 Compact.
Built with utility as its prime pur-
pose, seemingly not an inch Of space
is wasted In the fitting of the vessel,
and not an ounce of superiuous
weight enters Its construction. When
dropped into the water ready for the
installation of Its engines, guns, etc.,
less than 200 tons Of material have
been riveted together to shape the
Eagle boat.
The plates that form the shell OF
the submarine chasers vary In thick

rolled beam enters their makeup,

SPIES OF GERMANY
BOTHERED YANKEES

One night elements of the Seventy
seventh division, from New York city.
slipped quietly into line in the Bacca-
rat sector, relieving other units of the
Forty-second division, which entrained
for the west TO help repel Hindenburg's
last great offensive. There was every
need for secrecy. But when men of
the Seventy-seventh peered across mo
mans land" at daybreak they saw
hoisted from the German trenches this
sign. printed in English:
"Good-by, F~orty-second division J
Welcome, Seventy-seventh!
There were other instances of the
same kind; but the thing was not all
one-sided. Often the Americans knew
that Heinie was slipping in a new out
fit, the number of the outfit and just
what kind of stuff its men were made
of, and they made important use of
that information.
Much Trouble in AIsace.
American troops that saw service in
the mountainous Alsace country had
the greatest difficulties with the spy
evil. Behind the Franco-American
lines were a large number of people
who were German-born and who re-
tanned their sympathies for the kaiser.
The country offered unusually good OPP
p%ortunities for spies because of It's
hilly, wooded nature. On several
| nights, when American troops were en-
tering the trenches to relieve other
units, rockets and colored lights shot
up from hills behind the American
front. The German artillery promptly
responded to this tip by pounding the
American communication trenches,
knowing that they would be crowded
with men passing forward. The hills
and woods afforded such excellent hid
ing places that it was next to impos-
