Fifteen members of the Loyal Men’s class of the Christian church had a splendid meeting last evening at the home of G. T. Burk. There was an interesting debate, among other things, on the relative importance .of Moses and Paul, the two great Bible characters. Debaters were Messrs. Harvey Segur. J. E. Anderson. G. T. Burk, John Christen, P. G. Williams and William Darwechter. After other social diversions, ice cream, cake and coffee were served. Dr. Burt Mangold will entertain the men at their December session, December 15. Mrs. Eugene Runyon and Miss Edna Hoffman were guests today of their brother, Grover Hoffman, and family in Fort Wayne. The “five hundred” party given yesterday afternoon by Mrs. C. V. Connell was a delightful one. The affair was a twilight party, the lights soften Jig the otherwise chill and gloom of the November day. There were thirty guests and the games were much enjoyed. The first prize was won by Mrs. Charles Christen, the second by Mrs. W. A. Kuebler, the slam by Mrs. John Wilson, the boobies by Mrs. D. M. Hensley and Mrs. D. Schmitt. Bitter sweet and ferns contrasted prettily in the decorations, and the Thanksgiving turkey emblems adorned the tally cards and napkins. The hostess was assisted in serving a toothsome two-course luncheon Ijy the Misse Lol Connell, Margaret Smith. France Deininger, Florence Bremerkamp and Ramona Smith. Mrs. Mary Eley had a splendid paper for the Historical club last even

Ing when Mrs. Charles Downs entertained. The subject was “Indiana a State in the Development of Her Banks and Banking.” Mrs. Eley took the place of Mrs. Arthur Fisher, who is visiting in the west. The United Brethren Christian Endeavor society had a splendid business and social session last evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Kiracofe. A sale of bachelors was a unique entertainment. George Simmers served as auctioneer and the men were auctioned off as lean, long, short, fat bachelors, etc., the ladies purchasing them with candy hearts, each heart supposed to have the value of a dollar. The old adage that nobody loves a fat man did not hold true in this instance, for the “fat” bachelor brought the highest amount —one hundred fifteen hearts. The society will have a “101 C. E. Day,” November 29, when a special effort will be made to get 101 members for the Endeavor society. Special speakers and musicians will be secured for the special day. Refreshments were provided in buffet style. A number of friends were entertained last evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Alva Buffenbarger, the occasion being Mrs. Buffenbarger’s twentythird birth anniversary. The guests presented Mrs. Buffenbarger with a beautiful pedestal. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. William Meyers, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Butler and daughter, Melvina; Mr. and Mrs. Fred Engle and children. Richard and Mary; Mr. and Mrs. Simon Moore and sons, John and Frank; Mr. and Mrs. Ed Whitright and daughters, Helen and Gladys, and J. O. Smith and daughter, Thelma, of Fort Wayne.

Secretary Daniels and other officials would not discuss the matter. The secretary declared that he proposed to take one step at a time and that until he received Captain Decker’s report of the actual circumstances surrounding the Incident he would not even consider the cruiser. “We sent those vessels to Turkey with funds for the relief of Americans who were unable to get money in Turkey after the outbreak. Since then we have kept them there to afford assistance and relief to Americans. Our future action remains to be determined,” he said. The one thing that caused anxiety to the state department, beside the plight of the Tennessee, which can take care of itself, was the declaration that Counsel Horton was anxious for the safety of the consulate. This was interpreted to indicatcthat there was much anti-foreign feeling in Smyrna.
