Lesson on Overcoming Difficulties

The topic of the study of the Mens s Bible class at the T., M. C. A, Tues
 day evening was overcoming difficult
 ties.' The story of Zacheus was read
 from the Gospel of Luke, and the fol-
 lowing points were brought out in the
 study. Zacheus was a tax collecto-
 and therefore was despised by the
 people generally; though he was rich
 he was very unpopular. Zacheus from
 curiosity desired to see Jesus, and though his short stature was a dis
 tinct handicap he was so determined
 to see him that he climbed a tree. A strong point in favor of Zacheus was that when JesuG asked him to come
 down he immediately obeyed and took thc Master home with him Thus in close contact with Jesus, Zacheus fell
 in love with him and to prove his change of heart, and his love for the Christ he at once offered to give half his fortune to the poor, and to pay back four times as much as he had | taken wrongfullt It was suggested that when man really falls in love with Jesus. everything is secondary to
 his interest in the Kingdom of God.

ASKS COUNCIL TO MOVE
 FOR DAYLIGHT SAVING

Councilman Frank J. Aubrey asked at the common council meeting Mon day night when report might be ex- pected from the committee on daylight saving which had been appointed at a previous meeting of the council to see what the sentiment of other communi- ties in the state was on the subject.
 He was informed by Major J. J. Des- mond that he believed the committee would be able to give report by the next meeting, as he had already com municated with several places and ex- expected to ge answers from others. X
 The councilman said he believed there was a considerable sentiment in Connecticut in favor of daylight saving plan for the coming summer and he thought now was the time to get at it if results were to be accom- plished.

 As Chaplain Alexander of the sub marine base. who was to have been 1 the speaker of the afternoon, was unavoidably detained, Secretary Hill spoke in an interesting way, of a re- cent trip to Hartford, where he had 1 the privilege of meeting Sherwood

The Adjutent Generals office now

finally revised figures of casualties in
the Army embracing both the troops
abroad and those who did not get over
there. The total is some thousand
more than that shown by the last pre-

summaries, but the mortality list is
smaller by several thousand.
Total casulties were 302'612 with
deaths numbering 77'11S. of the lat
ter 34'248 were deaths in action and
1900 from wounds received in
action The battle losses were neavy

days. Disease accounted for 20, 430
deaths.
