Greeks.
News that the army is retiring to-
ward the positions it originally held
near Brusa caused profound disap-
pointment and sent the drachns
tumbling, quotations reaching II to
the dollar.
Soldiers Silent
The first wounded soldiers arriving
here would not speak. their bps hav-

Several large buildings have been
requisitioned as hospitals and a num-

minds
Cabinet councils are held almost

The supply service of the army is
being severely criticised, and the in

METH0DISTS APPLAUD
DR.. LIGHTS REPORT;
HONOR LOCAL PASTOR

ELWOOD, Ind, April 9.-The Rev.
church of Richmond. won the highest
grade in the Methodist graduating
class examinations, conducted at the
North Indiana conference session here
1t was the fourth year examinations
being taken by the Rev. Gates. Many
pastors from all parts of the Methodist
conference district took part
The Rev Gates has been pastor or
the Third NJ. E. church of Richmond
for two years, and as all Richmond
pastors are to be returned to their
pastorates for the coming year. he will
soon start his third year as a Rich
mond pastor. He will be ordained as
an elder Sunday afternoon.
DR.. Somerville Light. superintendent
of the Richmond district. made his dis
trict report Saturday morning amid
great applause. He has been district
superintendent of the Richmond dis
trict for 12 years and there is little
doubt what what he will again be ap-
pointed as head of the district
Bishop Frederick D. Leete presided
at the North Indiana conference today.
Rev. r. J. Wade, D. D., formerly of
Elkhart, Indiana, corresponding sec
retary of the committee on conserva-
ton and advance, Chicago, Illinois,
gave the principal address.
During the past eighteen months
comprising the first year and a half
of the great Methodist Centenary
Campaign, there has been paid on the
-
declared Mr.. Wade.
This means that Methodist contri-
buttons have been trebled and quad
rupled since this huge undertaking
was begun less than two years ago.
The Chicago area has contributed
over one-tenth of the entire amount.
and the Rock River conference which
includes the City of Chicago, has con
tributed nearly one million dollars.
Most of this money is to be eXpend-
ed in Centenary projects within Chi
cago and vicinity. 1t is confidently
expected that Methodist people will
contribute larger amounts in coming
months, enabling the church to more
| rapidly complete the reconstruction
program. An immediate program of
added publicity will be inaugurated in
all the churches. Men who are con,
versant with the results already
achieved will carry this information
to practically every Methodist and
community.
This is no time for a pessimistic
not. There is unrealized power in the
| Methodist church. Our church was
never more alive and prepared for
| Christian undertakings than at this
hour A quarter of a million new
members this year can be duplicated

Why Ric h mond is the
Best Place in Which
to Live

Each day n Palladium reporter
viii interview person~ nj random
to find out Why they like to live
bere.
"The work of the juvenile
court in Richmond is something
that very few people know any
thing about or appreciate. The
number of children brought be-
fore this branch of the law
every year is appalling. The
successful administration of JUS
tice to these children is a mat
ter demanding keen considera-
ton, and Richmond is indeed
fortunate in having a head for
this work who understands chill
dren and human nature to such
an extent that the child and So
ciety can both be benefited"
This statement was made by a
social worker who is recognized
as an authority on child welfare.
The court, in dealing with
the multitude of children who
come before it each year, views
each as prospective citizen,
an individual potentiality for
good or evil. The thought of
individual salvation is ever
uppermost in dealing with each
child.
'If, in the best interests of
all, it is possible to rescue the
child without commitment to
an institution, this is done and
he is saved to his home and the
state at the same time. Ample
time is taken for investigation
of home and other conditions.
Frequently it is the delinquency
Of the parent rather than the
child which is responsible.
The methods used by the
local juevenile courts are de-
signed to benefit both the child
and the parents. The success

lowed all over the country"

have more to do than the mere issu-

make up the membership of this big
labor organization.
From the Glasgow, Liverpool, Car

The general purposes of these mes
