UNIVERSALISTS AND
UNITARIANS UNITE
Will Hold Services in Universalist
Church Until April /, Beginning
the Coming Sunday.

Services were held in the Unitarian
church yesterday for the last time until
April l, the Unitarian and Universalist
churches having united for the winter
months with morning exercises in the
latter church.
Early in October the Unitarian society
extended an invitation to the Universalist
society to join with them as was done
last year, looking to the conservation OF
coal, but the latter society felt that the
Unitarian society should unite with them
this year as a reciprocal action, and an
invitation extended by the Universalist so
eiety was accepted.
Services will be conducted on the same
! plan as last year, Rev. Delmar f. Trout
and Rev. f. Q. s. Osgood preaching OF
alternate Sundays. 1t is the plan of thu
| Universalist society to carry on othe
church activities the same as in forme
years.

German Goods.

England, it will be remembered, sent
some tea TO this country many years ago,
and the colonists dumped it into Boston
harbor. This was done as a protest
against the tax on tea and to serve as
a reminder that no more tea was wanted.
Something OF the same action might have
been taken with the cargo of 1900 tons
of German toys and china, recently re
ceived in y w York.
The American Defense society has been
appealing to the importers who had these
German goods ordered to refuse the ship
ments. The products were bought before
this country went to war with Germany,
but the goods were made in Germany and
no real American wants to buy a thing
that bears the German faint. Two firms
of importers, at the instance of tie de-
Tense society, have issued statemente say
ing they will refuse their consignments.
Others have not yet said what they intend
to do. Investigation shows that the
American, state department sanctioned
through the war trade board, the ship
ment to America. A rumor that Belgian
| products. waiting on the uuays at Rotter-
dam. were set aside in order TO make room
| for German toys and china has been de

ter statement is made that American i'm
porters have been begging for these Ger
man goods for year or more. 1t was at
their insistence, the state department
says, that permission was given to load q
Holland boat with the cargo
1t is unfortunate that an American i'm
porter is SO greedy for dollars that he is
anxious to receive a consignment of Ger
man goods, be it toys, china or something
else Germans made these things and they
bear the made-in-G Germany mark. No gooo
American wants anything like that. i

tempted to delay speeding up the war.
With the United States a belligerent,
Roosevelt endeavored to obtain the con-
sent of the war department to establish
| an army division which he was anxious
| to take to France. This division was to
have included many of the Rough Riders
who were his associates in the campaign
| i'll Cuba, and younger men of the same
strenuous habits. The necessary permits
sion for the formation of such force
was not forthcoming even though Roose-
welt expressed willingness to accompany
it as subordinate officer.
One of Roosevelt's participativls in
public affairs took him to Washington
in January, 1918, when he conferred with
United States Senator George Z. Cham
berlain of Oregon and other members of
congress who were critical of the admins
tration's methods of prosecuting the war.
Roosevelt on this occasion announced his
support of the proposal that a war cabi-
net be organized to take over the conduct
lof the war.
Denied the privilege of fighting for his
flag, Theodore Roosevelt's interest was
lcentered on his family's participation in
the war. His four sons and his som in
law, DIR. Derby, carried out prediction
made by the former President before the
United States took up arms-that if war
came they would enter service. Theo-
dore, ir, became a major and Archibald
a captain, both in France; Quentin en-
tered French aviation squadron and DIR
hn alc both IN
France. Kermit, failing to pass physi.
cal examination which would admit him
to the United States army, received a
commission in the British army and was

in an air battle last summer and both
Theodore, jr., and Archibald were wound

National Prayer Days.

The first time the people of the United
States were called upon to observe day
of national prayer was May 0, 1898, by
proclamation of President John Adams
A controversy had arisen between this
country and France and all Americans
were called upon to pray for a continue
ton of peace. In 1915, when the United
States was about to make war on Al
giers, President Madison proclaimed day
| of prayer. During the Civil war three
presidential proclamations were ISSUED
appointing days of prayer for peace. II
1865 the authorities called upon the PEG
pie to pray for Lincoln, and in 1881 Presi
dent Arthur proclaimed a day of praye
to mark the burial of President Garfield
In the autumn of 1914 President Wilson
issued his proclamation for prayers o.
