MORETOWN

The Methodist Episcopal church goes
'over the top" with its centenary drive
Last week was centenary week in the
local church and an effort was made 10
secure pledges for the five years budget
apportioned the Moretown church. The
entire budget for the five years was
S4,7T5. OF this amount the ladies' aid
society accepted as its share of the task
Sl20 per year for five years. The Sun.
day school also did its part by accepting
the full quota assigned it, namely, SOC
per year for five years. The remainder
was secured by house to house canvass
One of the remarkable facts revealed by
the canvass was that, with member.
ship of So the church secured l04 sub.
scribers. When the final accounts were
gone over il was found that the required
S4,775 had been oyersubscribed by more
than $1,000, the grand total being &c..
S27 In addition the ladies' aid society
received gift of 81 900 Liberty bond
The interest on the same is to be used
for the work of the society, the gift to
be known as "The Mary Smith Ward
Memorial fund" The auxiliary of the
Woman'sN Foreign Missionary society
also received gift OF $1,000 Liberty
bond, this also to be known as "The
Mary Smith Ward Memorial fund.-" and
the interest TO be used for missionary
work. But this is not all, as the church
also received gift of $500 for par
sonage fund for repairs and improve
ments, and bills to the amount of Sl60.50
standing against the church for repairs
were cancelled

THE ALLIES IN SOLID FRONT
AGAIN,


The return of the Italian delegation
to the peace conference at Paris means
the collapse of the handicaps to the
drawing up of the treaty of peace and
the speedy winding-up of the final affairs
relating TO the inter-allied conference be-
fore the Germans are formally and off.
cially appraised Of the terms upon which
they will have to sign the treaty. This
action of the Italian delegation to the
conference comes as welcome relief
from strain which was getting to be
rather serious in allied circles albeit
there had always been feeling that
sooner or later Italy would return to
the conference and maintain her place
as one of the five great powers in whom
is vested much of the authority for the
proposed league of nations. The allies
will, therefore, present solid front to
the Germans and the other powers OF
the enemy when they come along in turn
for the acceptance of the treaty of
peace; and it will be front which is
quite in accord notwithstanding the re-
cent disagreements. From now on there
should be an accelerated speed at Paris
and, later, at Versailles.

As the result of the recent addition of a
million and half dollars to the endow-
ment fund of the institution, the profess
sors of Amherst college are to receive an
increase in salary of several hundred
dollars each, the full professors getting
as high as $4,000. In view Of the fact
that the pay Of college professors has
been stationary most of the time during
the past decade or two this indication of
a new trend upward is encouraging For
the amount of the training which a col
lege professor requires and for the kind
of service he renders the amount is none
too large in Amherst, where the standard
is high.

The time is moving along rapidly to-
ward the anniversary of the starting OF
the great war, and ii the peace confer
ence negotiations do not quicken their
pace it will be Aug, ! before the treaty
can be signed by the Germans. In that
case a name might suggest itself for the
war by calling it the five years war,
although one has to admit that there
were SO many extraordinary features
connected with the recent struggle as to
warrant more distinctive name.

The authorities who are bending every
effort to ferret out the mystery of the
death of Mrs, Harry E. Broadwell have
the sympathetic support of the commu-
nifty and of the state. They really de-
serve more than that; they deserve to
receive any information which individ-
uals may have as tending to show the
movements of the murdered woman from
the time she left her home on West
street early Saturday evening up to GER
tain events which took place later that
night. Without doubt the movements
of the woman for considerable time
and up to the events which came to
their swift denouement in homicide are
known to some persons. Mrs. Broad
well may have been seen and recognized;
she may have been seen in the moving
picture houses, as she ostensibly left
home for the purpose of attending the
movies" Evidence concerning such
movements can be presented without
chance of incrimination, of course, and
such evidence should be presented to
States Attorney Davis or some other
official connected with the case just as
soon as possible so that the voluntary
activities of the woman may be followed
and the time for the actual commission
of the crime narrowed down. Every
trace of the woman from the time she
left her home at about 1880 o'clock will
prove valuable to the investigators in
getting to the tragic events that hap
pened later. So any repugnance which

rious officers of the 26th division ap.
parently have returned with some rather
ell-defined ideas concerning their own
participation in political matters and
perhaps their elevation to positions of

to be guided by the military flavor in

fecretary of the treasury, Carter Glass,
who took the portfolio in the cabinet
under somewhat trying conditions. He
took the job when the work of the war
activities, including that of raising mon
ey, was not completed and when it was
rather difficult for a new man to break
into the work. Therefore, the people,
realizing his position, should rally to his
support besides showing their patriotism
to the government.
