the pleasure Of hearing Henry Israel.
editor of Rural Manhood" who was
in Charge of International V NJ. G.
A. work for prison camps in England
and France. Mr.. Israel is a forcefuI
and interesting speaker and held
the deepest interest Of his audience
during his entire discourse. He said
he had seen with his own eyes the
fears Of England and France. for
while the people had no question of
the ultimate outcome. the question
was how long America had not
come in any too soon, for matters
were at the breaking point He then
told Of our own army. saying no
army was equipped as ours. we were
constituted differently and carried
the glow of life. and that no army
had such cleanliness and manhood.
He then spoke OF the situation in
Russia, saying that at the present

Arthur F. Stone Gave Very
Interesting Talk at
Both Churches
ALL SHOULD AID WORK
Mr.. Stone is Examiner in Charge of
U. S. Employment Service and
Speaks from Experience

Employment Sunday was fittingly
observed at the Congregational
churches Sunday and Arthur F. Stone
examiner in charge Of the United
States Employment service, spoke
at the South church in the morning
and at the union service of both the
churches at the North church fnNthe
evening. At the South church Mr.
Stone spoke of how the church couM
serve the public, urging tnat the
christian people get behind all good
movements that would help solve the
reconstruction problems. This in
cluded the solution of the temperance
problem by establishing substitutes
for the saloons; the support of all
work that is being done by private
and public agencies to help the un-
fortunate, citing especially the work
that is being done by the State Board
of Charities and Probation; and par
ticularly the new department estab-
lished by the United States govern
ment to connect the man with the
job.
= At the North church Mr.. Stone
gave a brief history of the organiza-
ton of the new government bureau,
stating that since its establishment
about year ago five million men and
women had found employment from
the various Offices throughout the
United States. He then explained
how the system worked, giving sever
al interesting cases where soldiers
and others found just the kind of
employment they wanted and could
do best. He urged all who wanted
work to call at the Office in the Py-
THAN building, or if any wanted help
to make their wants known at the
same place. In closing he gave
rather an optimistic view of the situ-
alton, stating that in his district
which included Caledonia, Essex and
Orleans counties, the factories were
taking on more help in many instanc-
es. In st. Johnsbury the erection of
GllC llCW IdCCOly IOI IitC lyltiOuoii
Creamery Company called eor some
labor, the building of the new post
office would mean more work for the
unemployed. He quoted Secretary
Wilson as saying that the crisis in the
situation had been passed and that
from now on the demand for labor
would be on the increase.
After his talk at both services an
appeal was made for financial support
of the local office in charge of Mr..
Stone, following out plan originat-
ing with the churches of the town to
assist in this way with this important
work. Similar financial aid has been
given the government employment
bureaus in other towns, pending the
probable appropriation by Congress
as soon as it convenes. Pledges were
presented to the congregations, and
contributions may be reported or paid
to Edgar r. Brown of Boynton Ave-,
nue., or at his place of business, The
A. H. Mcleod Milling Co.

BERLIN, May 12-The news chat

national court has incensed not so
much the Junkers and former court
circles, but certain sentimental adhe1'-
ents of various classes, women pre-
dominating.
Some of the latter who tried to ar
range an Indignation mass meeting
were nonplused when a famous physi-
clan coldly met their hypothetical

diseases, and he probably will never
be tried"
In the Tagliche Rundschau, Profess
sor Theodor Schiemann characteristics
such trial as a most shocking disre-
gard of international and neral laws
beautified by tradition.
"Only the bad conscience of the
five powers, America, England,
France, Italy and Japan, which would
be his judges, can make US compre-
hend this demand" he says.

Subscriptions filed through Friday
at the Federal Reserve Bank showed
that Boston has gone over the top
and that New England had subscrib-
ed sc percent OF its quota. This
compares with 81 percent in the
Fourth Loan at the same time.
GAS the banks have 10 days in
which to tabulate their returns and
file them with the Federal Reserve
bank, we may not get the final figures
for some days. From records that
we have, however, and from SUBJ
scriptions which we know are ON the
way, this committee feels entirely
confident that every state in New
England will oversubsribe it's quota
by reasonable margin without call
ing upon the commercial banks. 1t
is not too early to congratulate the
people of this district on meeting
their last Liberty Loan obligation 100
percent"
Connecticut led the list of states by
the high figure of 127 percent sub
scription, one that has not been
equaled before on any one of the
loans. Vermont officially went be-
yond its quota, reaching 103 percent;
Rhode Island coming third with 90
percent, Massachusetts rs, New
Hampshire 80 and Maine rs per cent.
WASHINGTON, May 12-The
Fifth and last popular war loan of
the United States has been over.
subscribed.
Although the approximate. total
subscriptions will not be known for
nearly two weeks, figures available
Saturday showed that the American
people had responded generously to
the appeal to finish the job"
Like all of its predecessors, the
Victory Liberty Loan suddenly jump
ed on the last day of the campaign
above the mark set as it's limit. The
day brought an avalanche of sub
scriptions which banks could not at
tempt to count until next week. None
of Saturdays harvest was included in
the total of $3,849, 9,638,000 subscrip-
tions officially tabulated at night by
the Treasury, and officials would not
be surprised to see the final figure go
to nearly $6,000,000,000. Only $4,-
500,000,000 will be accepted.
Sec. Glass issued this statement late
Saturday:
"While the official reports to the
Treasury Department show only $3,-
849,63S,000 subscribed up to noon on
Saturday, unofficial advices from the
several districts indicate that without
any doubt the Victory Liberty loan is
already largely oversubscribed, with
every district making a determined
effort to gather in every possible sub
scription before midnight.
"Thus, for the fifth time the coun-
try has met the call of the Treasury
Department for the funds required,
and the great Liberty Loan organiza-
tion has once again proved its
mettle."
The only gauge by which the off
cials could attempt to estimate sub
scriptions not yet tabulated was pro-
vided by the record of the Fourth
Liberty Loan, when $2,392,000,000
was reported after the subscription
drive had ceased The last reports
obtainable when the fourth campaign
ended showed $780, 100000 already
tabulated, or rs percent of the &c.
000,000,000 total, although final sub
scriptions amounted to $6,991 100000.
Up to today in the current loan cam
paign 1854 percent of the total
sought had been pledged.

SMALLPOX At GEORGETOWN

Six cases of smallpox have broken
out in Georgetown in the colored set
Elements and local members of the
Board of Health are taking every pre-
cautiOnary measure to stamp out the
disease. Dr. Woody, a smallpox spec
ialist from the Municipal Hospital,
Philadelphia, was sent for and on Sat
urday, in company with DR.. Joseph B.
NAPLES, Jr.. examined the cases with
the result that his diagnosis proved
conclusively that the patients had the
disease.
While all the sufferers seem to have
mild cases. the Board of Health is
running no risk of a spread of the
malady and has placed a strict quar-
antine in the infected districts. Late
Saturday night four guards were
sworn in to see that the quarantine
was not broken. and it is likely that
two more will be placed about the in
fected districts within the next day
or two.
Members of the Board of Health,
following the meeting Saturday night.
took it upon themselves to visit the
different churches Sunday morning.
and announce the action that is being
taken and press home the seriousness
of the situation. Saturday night is
was unanimously ordered that all res
idents will have to be vaccinated in
order to prevent the situation from as
suming alarming proportions and the
entire town becoming infected. Action
will be taken within the next few days
placing a quarantine on all negro
residents.
