THE FRAU AFFAIR.

That American sailors landed al Frau on the Dalmatian coast in the Adriatic. that they succeeded in pre- venting the seizure of that place and other territory by Italians and that they were not directed to do what they did by the British admiralty has been disclosed to the navy department and through that to the senate by Admiral Knapp in charge Of the American na- val forces in European waters.
 There were features regarding the move in Delmatia that were a bit dis quieting according to the unofficial r / forces were being directed by others without the knowledge of the navy de- partH1ent to step in and settle dis putes regarding claims along the Adri atic and in view1of the fact that there were possibilities of causing a rup- ture with Italy it was but natural that an early explanation of the affair should be sought. even though there were claims in the reports which could hardly be believed
 The explanation shows that only a part of the reports were trustworthy for while Americans were sent ashore at Frau. that being in q section of the Adriatic coast where the Americans are expected to maintain order, they acted at the request of the Italian admiral, who later thanked the Americans for the service they had rendered in pre- venting a clash between hotheaded Italians who had attempted to seize Frau from the Serbians in defiance of Italian aut uthority and the Italian off cer who led the raid will be couFtmar- tiaIed
 Thus the situation is given a new complexion although it is plainly shown that our forces are still he'd ready for service in Europe.

A DANGEROUS LEADER.

In connection with the steel strike and the claim that a large proportion og those involved therein are for ei<ners, it is interesting to note that q federal judge sitting for naturali- =ttrr purposes in Philadelphia this week paid especial attention to this very feature in speaking to those who had come before him to be made citi- zerx of this country.
 Judge Burlington took occasion to rnrn those naturalized against the teachings and leadership as such men as " Z-- Foster. the leader of the steel strike who was denounced as a txrrerous domestic enemy. Though ,1ks fxszgn born zslArEsly- res1su1=

OTHER VIEW POINTS

The value of the government war risk insurance is shown by the ng 7 ures giving the amount that will be naid n Connecticut families alone. Claims totaling s13,s7s,12o are now be- ing paid in this state to those who lost sons and husbands in the war. There are 15ss families thus being helped and there are 8o4 disabled service men or their dependents to whom compen- sation claims are being paid. This means that there is far less suffering

.DESOLAT|ON IN
NORTHERN ITALY
Damage Done By Austrian
Armies Was Very
Great.

ROME, Headquarters of the Italian
AIRY, Dec. 1S.-( Correspondence of the
Associated Press. The distressing
effects of the war and of Austrian oc-
cupation still are evident in the re-
conquered Italian provinces north and
east Of the Piave. The country in the
vicinity Of Oderzo, small village
about stxsmiles from the lower course
OF the Playe, is a scene OF utmost DESC
!ation. 1t was here that the Duke OF
Aosta's army advanced so swiftly and
deeply in to the Austrian lines as to
threaten tho communications of the
Austrian army occupying Conegliano,
thus forcing the Austrians to retreat.
So intense was the bombardment that
very little is left standing in the coun-
try all around Oderzo. Many OF the
houses now are merely heaps Of debris.
The village Of Oderzo itself was not
so seriously damaged as were the
outlying houses as the Italian artil.
erymen tried to spare it, but 1t bears
unmistakable signs OF Austrian occu-
patton. The villagers declare that the
Austrians took away not only their
church bells. but their clothes and
even the panes Of glass from the win
dows, the doors, kitchen utensils and
in fact literally everything that could
be removed. The parish priest saved
some Of his household utensils and
several barrels OF wine by hiding them
IN barn behind a heap Of collins.
YOwng to tile fact that the population
was greatly weakened by lack Of food.

at the time Of Jesus call to the home
Of Laza-u-, Thomas was the first to
volunteer to accompany him In the
face OF all the danger. Rev. Eddy
then brought out the fact that Thomas
was an intellectual man that he was
o thinking man who waited for, evil
dence and then carefully weighed and
considered lis evidence. However he
made the mistake Of so many men Of
today in hasing his judgment on the
material evidence only. We are all
willing to accept mystery in the COM
mon material things of life, but refuse
to accept 1t in the realm Of the spirit
ual.
While Tlcmas was intellectual!
noble and loyal, he had become 3
backslider after the deaf hot his
Master, as was shown by his absence
from the meeting Many men and wos
men Of Fairmont tonight are back;
sliders because they are missin the
appointments that are made IN the
churches Thomas missed a great many
blessings by not being with the dis
ciples that day He missed seeing his
Master. tho wonderful Joy that came 70
the disciples. and the spiritual bless.
ing of the Holy Spirit, and because he
missed all these things he Wandered
for eight days in terrible doubt and
experienced some of the troubles that
come TO the baclsllder of today as
the pefplexed mind, the distraetAd
mind. the Questioning mind q ever
the skepticai.
In bringing out these points, Rev.
Eddy proved that where the mind Ii I
taken OFF the object Of its faith
will become distracted with the thing
of the world, and how the quest ioHinE
mind or habit of indecision kept 50
many from yielding themselves to
Christ.
But after all, Thomas came back
and when Jesus came to meet hin,
there, as he always comes to meet,
the seeking, repentant soul And when
Thomas had seen Jesus he no inng ger
doubted, Und even without toiclinx
the pierced hand side, his faith he.
came whole. slSs
After Rev, Eddy closed Mr. M
Kinley arose and sang, Would YQti
