PRESBYTERIANS
 RAISED $1O,OOO
In Campaign Begun Here Last Sunday by Address By Governor McRae and
 Dr. J. s. Baird.

It will be a matter of rejoicing not only to Presbyterians but to all the people of Prescott and vicinity to know that the campaign which has been conducted by the Southern Pres byterians of this city has been success fully completed and that the goal, S10OOO has been reached and long step has been taken towards placing the Presbyterian educational institu- tions of the State on firm financial footing The campaign was started here last Sunday by addresses of Gov. T. c. McRae and Dr. J. S. Baird of Texas and followed up by pr. Baird and MT. k. C. Bickers of Kentucky. This is very remarkable achieve ment for Christian education as the membership of the Southern Presby- terians does not exceed so and this was confined to that branch of the Fedora ted church of this city. The institu- tions helped will be Arkansas College, Mountain Crest, CaddO Valley, Fay etteville University church, and Aus tin Seminary and the total amount to be raised is $4O6O00. Gov. McRae also spoke last Sunday afternoon to one of the largest audiences ever as- sembled at Marlbrook church on the same subject, and Dr. Bickers can- vassed that community the first of this week and obtained a good subscription.

No semblance of order was observed on the
rabbie than fighters.
Later on the train began to slow up
even more than before, and to stop more
frequently on the side tracks, while hospital
trains, loaded with wounded, passed ahead.
Here, again, the German commanders
showed failure for it is a we'll known rule
in military tactics that wounded men COM
ing from battle should never encounter
fresh troops moving forward. Germanys
railroads, however, were so overloaded with
traffic that they were forced to transport
the wounded back over the line the troops
were using in passing to the front.
All day long the Major and the Captain
sat in their compartment and watched the
ebb and flow of the German Army. While
they did not dare to speak Of what was in
their minds, nevertheless, eyes carried mes
sages; and neither one doubted that the
German Army was in very demoralized
condition. The only question was "When
will it crack wide open?"
When the long journey was at last near
ing an end the German captain entered the
compartment and told them that they would
soon be in Coblenz, their destination. Here
they expected to find the German High
Command; and here, they planned to secure
all possible information as quickly as posi-
BILE before trying to escape into either Hol-
land or Switzerland.
With a. curt, Follow me-" Schmidt led
the way out of the station and through the
crowds to the waiting motor car. 1t was
dark in Coblenz and, as the Allied aviators
were at this time bombing the Rhine towns,
nc lights were allowed on the streets, so it
impossible to judge the conditions in
the town. The motor slowly made its way
to a hotel, where Schmidt announced:
Here you will remain until the COM
handing general desires your presence. To-
morrow l will bring you passes, SO that you
may walk through the town without danger
of molestation, and the only order you will
have to observe is to report at this hotel
once during the forenoon and once during
the afternoon and to remain off the streets
after dark. shall be busy at the office of

Secret
After the captain of the submarine had
delivered the mail bags for the Group of
Five" and had, in turn, received the mail
for Germany, he said it was time to start.
Follow me to where the boat is drawn up
on the beach," said he, at is impossible for
all of you to go in the small boat at one
time, so His Highness and myself will go
on board first and I will then send the boat
back for the rest"
The captain and the Prince stepped into
the boat and were rowed away in the dark
ness.
The leader of the Group of Five had
noticed the deliberate i-:sult of the captain
OF the submarine at the moment of the in
PRODUCTION and apologized, saying:
"Some of our officers do not realize what
a help you have been to our cause, and no
doubt you will meet others also, who, not
knowing the true facts will act as did the
captain. You may rest assured, however,
that those of us who know, will always re-
main your friends, and as for the rest, just
continue on as you have started, unmind-
full of any Sights, for Germany owes you
a debt she can never repay"
The Major waved the matter aside as of
no account. 1--WE are governed by high
sense of duty" said he, NOR will we allow
the Sights of a few to deter US from car
rying out our mission, AN innocent
enough statement on the face of it, but what
a difference it would have made had the
Germans been aware of the real duty"
these officers were referring to.
After it was all over and the Major had
returned to our headquarters and was re-
lating the story, the Chief asked: major,
what were your thoughts as you stood there
that night awaiting the return of the boat?"
WELL" said the Major, II was wonder
ing in case anything went wrong and a
destroyer got US, just how my wife was 60
ing to prove was dead, so she could collect
my life insurance"
The Trip to Germany on the Submarine
When Anderson and Elwood stepped into
the boat and showed off, they knew there
could be no turning back now, and as the
boat made her way out to where the SUBJ
marine was waiting, they looked across the
dark Atlantic and each wondered if fate
would permit him to once more cross the
ocean to his loved ones.
The black shape of the submarine was

their way to the Group of Five at San
Sebastian.
Elwood was supposed to have been bought
to betray his country, and according to
German calculations it did not take much
money to do it, either.
The Captain attempted to describe the
motor and soon succeeded in so confusing
his listeners that they realized full we'll
that the only hope for the German High
Command to ever understand it lay in
sending Captain Elwood to Germany. But
when this was proposed the Captain re-
fused to go unless the Major accompanied
him.
The Officers Are Sent to Germany
Prince Joachim was still in San Sebastian
and took an especial interest in Major An
derson's return with the motor drawings.
Now he settled vital point by saying:
Both of these men shall go to Germany
with me. l will look after them and will
vouch for them to the High Command"
That's all very WE'LL" replied the Ma
jor, "but how do you expect to get into
Germany? If we make the attempt through
France, we will surely be captured and
shot. If we try it through a neutral coun-
try, our fate will be the same, for England
will not allow US to pass"
"You need not fear capture" said Meyer.
Ever since the war started we have main
tanned line of submarines, running from
the coast here to Kiel and they have been
keeping to regular schedule. The next one
is due in day or so and you can all re-
turn on her.
'How simple! But if this one is captured
or sunk, who will be able then, to give
this information to the High Commando"
demanded the Major.
"You need not fear" replied the leader.
I'm all the time they have been running,
the enemy have succeeded in sinking only
thre of these boats. And we believe those
three Of these boats. And we believe those
tains had obeyed orders At least, it's a
chance you have to take. And as it is for
our Kaiser and the Fatherland, why ques-
ton? You will not have died in vain"
This was cold comfort enough, but the
prospect of getting into Germany was
enough to keep up the Americans spirits
The leader told them to go to their quar-
tiers and he would notify them when the
submarine came in.

eyes, we are strangers now" the Major
replied, "but we Lope to make this town our
home in the future. We came here from
San Sebastian"
Indeed" said the young woman, 1--WE
have always lived here and we would be
very glad to be your guides and help you
select good hotel and point out the vari
Gus places of interest, as WELL Of course
we expect pay for our services; but we will
try and make the acquaintance pleasant. At
what hotel are you living now"
When the Major told her, she said: "Why,
how fortunate! We, too, are living at that
very hotel"
The talk grew general and friendly, and
when it was approaching the time when
the German captain had told them they must
be at the hotel, the Major paid the bill and
the four left the cafe together. Bidding
the two women goodbye in the hotel lobby,
the officers went directly to their room.
The Major quietly shut and locked the door
and then, placing his finger on his lips, took
out his pencil and wrote the following:
"Without doubt these girls have been
sent here to spy upon US. Their plan is,
believe, to make love to us and in this way
secure our confidence in the hope that we
will tell them who we really are. It's
very clever scheme, and we must be exceed
ingly cautious that we do not say or do any
thing which will give them an mixing of
our true status"
The use of pencil and paper between Ma
jor Anderson and Captain Elwood was the
only means they had of communicate e to
each other things which they did not want
a third party to hear. All the tim, they
were in Germany, they had to be on their
guard every second, for it was an easy mat
ter to conceal a dictagraph in a room and a
thoughtless word might spell quick disaster.
After some thought this new phase of
the game, the Major determined upon a
bold stroke. 'If we can win the love of
these two women" he wrote, 1--WE can soon
learn whether our suspicious are true, or
not We must be careful, however, that
we do not ourselves become entangled,"-
and the captain nodded his head that he un-
derstood
The plan was clever. While the two wom-
en- were irving to gain the confidence of
