GOOD GROWTH IN
BAPTIST CHURCH
Membership Now Numbers 454; Has
Doubled Since Storer Has Been
Pastor Here.

Two hundred and twenty-five new
names have been added to the mem.
bership roll of the First Baptist
church during the three years pasto-
rate here of Rev. j. w. Storer. The
church membership now numbers Asa
with forty-nine nonresident members.
At the morning services at this
church last Sunday, which began
Rev. Storer's fourth year here in ac-
tive and efficient Christian work. the
church roll was called, with only 1856
not answering to their names, the
absentees including besides the non
resident members. those on the sick
list, and the boys and girls away at
school.
Every member who was physically
able attended this service. The pas
tors sermon on "Open Doors OF Ser,
vice." was a strong congregational
address and plea for still greater
church progress.
The growth and activity, though,
of the First Baptist church, under
Rev. Storer's charge, has been most
remarkable, and deserves the commu-
nifty praise and approval. This
church during the past twelve months
gave $62,S59.79 for Christian work,
s5,372.21 of which was for home
work, and $57,487.5S for missions.
In the same space of time, the mem
bership was increased by an even
hundred, thirty-five being admitted
to the church by baptism, sixty-five
by letter.
Under Rev. Storer's direction, the
Sunday School Rhas enlarged and de-
veloped, and Is now conducted most
efficiently. Mrs. Storer, who is also
a faithful and most capable worker,
and possessed of a charming person
ality of leadership has been quite
an inspiration to the young people
of the church in their church So
ciety work, and to the missionary So
ciety work of the church.
On last Thursday evening, the
church members gathered at the
church for social evening together,
and to honor Rev. and Mrs. Storer
on the third anniversary of their
Paris residence. over two hundred
were addressed by DR.. Boone, pastor
of the First Baptist church, Mem
phis, and were later delightfully."- en-
tertained by the ladies of the B. w.
M. S.
Dr. Boone paid tribute to Rev.
Storer and his splendid accomplish
ment here, and. encouraged the con-
gregation in their friendship and
Christian fellowship, emphasizing the
ever present need of cooperation and
harmony.
An enjoyable musical program of
piano, violin, and vocal numbers,
featured the pleasant social hour
which followed DR.. Boone's talk,
when delicious refreshments were
served.
For the evening the church audi
torium and church parlors had been
frightened with many ferns, other
potted plants, and red carnations at
tractively vased The seasonable red
motif being observed in the decorat-
ing and other details.

ClarksviLlians To
Drink Much Milk

Milk-drinking is to be stressed in
the Clarksville City Schools. A re-
frigerator has been purchased for
the school lunch room, and other
arrangements made to encourage the
serving of milk to the school children
following an agitation by the Clarks-
Vile City Health officer, DIR. Run
yon, who found several under-nour-
ished children in the school there,
and who is a strong advocate of the
value of children drinking milk.
Milk is everywhere recognized as
splendid food for growing children,
and has by many tests proven to
supply, perhaps the greatest brain
stimulus of any food, besides being
a blood and bone builder and most
children are given too little. of it,

Both got spring fever Monday, and
Vera suggested that they take a trip
to Oyster Bay, L. l., for it. She thought
of Oyster Bay because her uncle lives
there.
Instead of going to school that day
they went to the Pennsylvania Station
and, eventually, to the home of Vera s
uncle, VINO was glad enough to see them
to believe their story about Il school

Thief. Under Umbrella i'm Crowd.
Breaks Pane, Gets 81, 500 Gems

A tall young man, rainsoaked from
head to foot, although he was carrying
an umbrella, stopped last night in front
of the big plate glass window Of the
jewelry store of Samuel Winokur, at
395 Fulton Street, Jamaica. He glued
his face to the window and stood mo-
tionless as pedestrians hurried past
him. The rain was falling hard: Di-
rectly across the street a crowd was
swarming into brilllantly-lighted
motion picture theater.
Two minutes after the young man
lad stopped outside the window the
proprietor of the shop and an employee
heard crash of glass. They saw a
hand inserted through the broken front
window and noticed that the fingers
clutched small jewelry box, which
contained twelve diamonds, the entire
lot valued at about $1,000.
Winokur and his clerk dashed to the
front of the shop. AS they did so, the
window smasher, with his umbrella
raised as protection against the ter
rife downpour, da%ed across Fulton
Street. On reaching the other side he

BERLIN, March 9.-The reaction O
! the German people tc the Allied in
vasion of the industrial district ha
been vigorous, with some sections O.
the press assailing the Entente fo,
what is called gross violation Of TIL,
Treaty of Versailles, while others at
tack the German delegation at Lcndor
for yielding an inch to the Excessive
demands of the Allies.
The speech which Chancellor Fehren.
bach made in the Reichstag yesterday
exhorting the German people to re-
main calm in the face of this act of
violence, is being criticized by some of
the newspapers as being too sentimen-
tai and likely to create bad impress
sion abroad.
Harmony does not exist on the So
called home front, for the Comm anists
and Socialists are bitter over the re-
suits of the London conference. Vor-
waerts even says that the political
position of DR.. Walter Simons, For
eign Minister, is enLangered The
newspaper explains that the two
parties Of the Right are convinced that
DR.. Simons made offers to Lloyd
George in excess of Germany's ability
to pay, and expect to make him answer
for these offers.
Reichstag Debate To-day
1t seems probable that to-morrow's
debate in the Reichstag, postponed at
the governments request until the
Foreign Minister could reach Berlin
and appear in his own defence, will
bring out many expressions of dis
satisfaction with DR.. Simonss handling
Of Germany's case. Some of the n.em-
bers will criticize him for the buneline
manner in which he presented Ger
many's offer and thereby failed to win
for it the proper reception.
Meanwhile other voices are heinp
raised in different parts Of Germany
which tend to compromise Germany's
case in the eyes of the world. Min

into his left hand, and in his right
grioped a revolver.
Winokur, his clerk, and several
others started across the street after
him. He fired two shots in the gen.
eral direction of his pursuers and ran
toward New York Avenue, swinging
his umbrella in one hand and holding
his revolver in the other. He whirled
into New York Avenue and disappeared
in an alleyway. Another man followed
him into the alleyway and did not
come out. The police believe the sec
ond man was an accomplice.
Winokur gave a description of the
thief to police headquarters at Jamaica.
He said the diamonds were the most
valuable he owned and believes the
thief was good judge Of jewelry and
had probably planned the robbery
some time in advance. The window
was broken with brick.
