OF WAR TO PRESIDENT

Denies He Has Peace Proposal, But Admits Holland Is Anxious for Strife to End.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.—Conditions in Europe, as viewed by Dr. Henry Van Dyke, American minister to the Netheralnds, were up for discussion at a conference at the white house between President Wilson and the minister. Dr. VanDyke had been invited to be the luncheon guest of the president.

Fresh from his observation of conditions generally in Europe, Dr. VanDyke was ready to give President Wilson first hand Information. The minister already had discussed the subject with Secretary Bryan.

While denying the reports that he was the bearer of a personal letter from Queen Wilhelmina relative to peaqe Dr. VanDyke told the "secretary that the queen and the people of Holland earnestly desire an early return of peace among the warring Europeair nations. That the present does not appear to be a propitious moment to advance definite proposals for terms of peace, however, was made clear Dy tho minister, following his conference with Mr. Bryan. "The desire of the United States for peace," he declared, is a well known fact. "The decision as to the proper moment for us to act is in the hands of my chiefs. The president and the secretary of state can be trusted to determine when that moment arrives."

SEVENTH BAY ADVENTISTS SECURE CHURCH PROPERTY

Purchase College Avenue Church of Christ Edifice As Result of Evangelistic Campaign.

The Seventh Day Adventists' church Wednesday purchased the College AVenue Church of Christ, the consideration being $2,200. The purchase of the church is a climax to the evangelistic Chautauqua which has been conducted there all summer. Rev. Tindall, in speaking of the enterprise, said: "It is a fitting climax to our efforts here. It was with misgiving that the city granted us the privilege of erecting our pavilion, but with the coming of twenty trained workers, a practical demonstration of Christianity was given. Seven registered nurses went about the city ministering to the people. Cooking schools were held in which the bible standard of diet was the rule, and many rejoice in new found health. The Seventh Day Adtventists believe that they have been sent into the world as watchmen and light-bearers. The summer work reprefeents a sacrifice of $3,000 personally by our workers. Walter Bergherm has been entrusted with the work or raising funds for the new church, and we are grateful to the citizens for the aid we have received."

STR0U.SE GETS ADVICES.

Strouse has been advised from Washington that no penalty will be inflicted on sipecial tax payers who have made proper effort to secure their special stamps, bat have been unable to do so, and has been directed until further notice, or until the present condition of affairs has improved, to date all applications for special stamps as of Nov. 30, which will release such applicants from the payment of penalty.

HERE are names in every language that stand for something definite—that bring up a picture as effectively as long description. Heieules and Samson—these mean strength. Napoleon stands for military genius. He who reflects fashion is called a Beau Brummel. People have come to see a symbol in the name

The very sound of the word suggests the sturdiness of a house of musical genius and craftsmanship, dating back to the workshop in which Jonas Chickering made his first piano.

The leader always, recognized by musical authorities through the decades, this noble instrument represents today, as ever, the highest development of a piano. You will find that your ambition to possess a Chickering will not be discouraged by any undue stringency of our terms. Won't you come in and spend half an hour cf music with us tomorrow?
