NOTES ON THE INTER CHURCH
MEETING HELD AT MITCH

M L. l.
The Inter Church convention held at
Mitchell was more than a convention, it
vas an epoch 1t marks am event un-
paraIelled in the Church world. Many
characterized the movement iu view Of
the perfect co operation from all Pro
testant churches aud in the breadth Of
program and the almost revolutionary
effect on the future as comparable only
with the great ReformaU0u The big
plans and the remaTkab.e mastery OF
the details of the future program, to-
gether with the perfect unity among the
Denominations, gave The even, q unique
situation. The very fact that here were
gathered more than 500 ministers repre-
seuting the Protestant churches OF the
State, and then to hear that in every
state like gatherings were being held
with the same unanimlty Of purl Use,
one readily sees the sincerity and in
tenstty Of purpose lying behind the
great leaders,
Three very intensive days we're filled
with a varied program OF speaking and
committee work. Every o,herIssue out
side the main thought of Cooperation
was sdetracked. Even the formal open.
ings such as singing, etc, were reduced
to a minimum aud the common problem
which conlrouls the church world was
presented, a problem so big and vast
that II was clearly one for a united
Professionalism and not OF anyone or d
group OF Denominations We were tulu
10y many speakers that there was moth
ing in the movement which belokened
an organic union of churches but only a
cooperative plan by which the work
should be done efficiently because Of the
coordination Of The bodies. Personally
1t seems to the writer that in the five
year program ahead that one OF two
things seem unavoidable, either break
ing up Of the movement and a resump
ton of the past lines of demarcalion OF
the more feasible thing that church
lines would be lost in the bigger thing
ahead, and loss Of identity by q merg
ing of interests in a common whole
lhe latter seems most likely 10 be the
case and 10 one Of the ministers seem
cd 10 care a rap if it did. The old spirit
seemed to be absent and cooperation
oiled The atmosphere at every session.
The work OF the future wilt be carried
out through the same plan as the state

Each Protestant church will be repre-
Sented on the county committee and ali
work done and all monies raised will be

orally as Stewardship, Spiritual Re

BASKET BALL GAMES AT CUSTER

BASKET BALL GAM rs AT CUSTER,
The Custer Girl Champions annexed
two more games to their credit when
they took the Deadwood girls team into
camp on Friday night to 1916 score
and duplicated it the next night With a
III victory over Hot Springs, Dead
wood had q small team but whal they
lacked in size they made up in pep.
The first half was played under the
standard rules for girls. In the second
half we conceded Deadwood the advan-
tage by playing boys rules with hich
our girls were less familiar, and then
went little farther by coneeding them
twenty minute halves instead Of the
standard fifteen minute halves.
Better team work gave Custer the
first half lI-5. Deadwood came back
strong in the second and ran their score
to within three points Of our girls when
time was called.

ARMED DNAWFORCE
HAL IS CABLE WORK
arrests Western Union Men
Attempting to Link Wires
Off Miami.

MIAMI. Fla. November sg4.-What
was described as an attempt by
the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany to connect its South American
cable at the west end of the cause
way at 10 O'Clock this morning was
stopped by an armed force OF the
subchaser 154, the crew Of which had
been instructed by Washington to
stop any move to connect the cable.
When the work of laying the cable
was stopped several weeks ago. under
the orders of the State Department at
Washington. a portion of the cable
which had not yet been connected at
the west draw of the causeway was
left on barge which was anchored in
Biscayna bay.
The barge has been. in that position
pending a settlement of the contro-
versy.
Shortly before 10 o'clock today a
force of fifteen men went out on the
barge with the evident intention of
connecting the cable where work had
been left of. A few moments later
the sub-chaser came swinging along
side the barge. tied up to II. and a
crew of armed sailors. headed by the
commander. went aboard. lining the
Western Union employees up on the
barge, where they were still under
guard at noon.
One Of the Western Union men was
permitted to return to the downtown
office for instructions from his COM
pany.
The big cable was laid across the
causeway several months ago. all that
remains being the making of the con-
nections under the two causeway
drawhrid1es It was while the con-
nection at the west draw was being
made that the trouble occurred this
morning. The work could have been
finished in three hours, it is said. II
there had been no interruption by the
naval force.

SEVEN MILLIONS
IN BONUS CHECKS
FOR FORD FORCE

DETROIT. November 24.-Bonus
checks aggregating more than
s7.00o,000 for employees of the Ford
Motor Company are now being
written and their distribution will
start January l next. according to
announcement this morning by
Edsel b. Ford, president of the
Ford Motor Company.
Mr.. Ford also announced forth
coming extra 3 per cent for six
months ending December 81. on
Ford investment certificates held
by employees of the company. This,
Mr.. Ford said. is in addition to the
guaranteed per cent He added
that per cent had been paid July
81 last, making total of Ia per
cent on the certificates for 1920.
Mr.. Ford's statement was made.
1t was announced. to correct what
he said was an erroneous report
of testimony by S. S. Marquis, di-
rector Of the Ford educational de-
partment. before Judge Alschuler
in Chicago yesterday to the effect
that the recent reduction in the
price of Ford cars had resulted in
the bonus to employees being prac-
tically cut off The statement that
5000 men of the Detroit company
had quit work within the last
ninety days was correct. it was
said at the executive offices of the
company here. but the men had
left voluntarily. and Increased pro-
duction of the remaining employees
had made 1t unnecessary to replace
them.

and simple manner. Only members OF
his family and few near relatives
will be guests at the White House
during the day. i
The President will not attend any
religious service, as was his custom in
former years, but 1t is expected that
Mrs. Wilson will go to church in the

dent will indulge in his daily sun bath on
the south portico of the White House.
Accompanied by Mrs. Wilson, he will
later take his customary afternoon
automobile ride through Rock Creek
