He also stated that Friends could not have a good idea of what the other Friends thought, about the war by taking out cuts of their epistles' and bringing them before Yearly meeting. The war has brought about conditions that have become problems, reports showed. Every meeting reports a great interest in reconstruction and Bible schools although the latter have been affected by so many young men in the service. Temperance has received much attention in all meetings. Woodward Gives pecch. The time of the program for Sunday has been changed somewhat. The Bible school has been changed to 9 o'clock and the meeting for worship has been changed to 10:30 o'clock. This was done in order to emphasize the Bible school hour. It was decided also to give the finance board the authority to select an auditing committee from its own number. Walter C. Woodward was asked to read the same paper at the Yearly meeting which he read the opening session of the Young Friends conference in July. Time was given him at the session this morning. This afternoon the address of the afternoon was given by Rufus Jones of Haverford. The report of the Peace Association of Friends in America, arid the report of the Yearly meeting committee on peace were made. Service Reports. The report of the American Friends Service committee was as follows: Indiana Yearly Meetings Service Committee is composed of seven members. William J. Sayers. T. W. White, Alexander Purdy, Ancil E. Ratliff. George W. Bird, Aaron Napier and jMary Doane Hole. These were appointed at the Five Years meeting by ! our delegates. Shortly after our committee was organized, we held a joint meeting with Western Yearly Meeting's Service Committee to devise plans to help our boys in camps, especially in the nearer camps, Taylor and Harrison. In this conference, we planned to visit the boys at Camp Taylor at least once a month and to hold religious meetings with them as way opened. Members of Indiana's committee made 24 visits to Camp Taylor, one to Fort Benjamin Harrison, one to Camp Custer and two to Camp Sheridan. Besides these visits many letters of encouragement were written to the boys. At Christmas time we sent each of our Yearly meeting lads some money given to us by the Central committee from Indiana's Yearly Meeting offering, as many had expressed a desire that a portion of their subscription be used in this manner. At two other times we sent five dollars for each of the boys in Camp Taylor. After Henry Scattergood gave his four splendid lectures on reconstruction work many other meetings asked for a similar lecture, which resulted in the committee securing a set of stereopticon slides, and Paul "Furnas and other members of the Y early Meeting committee went wherever asked and showed these pictures of the reconstruction work in France and explained the work. We held two conferences with young men who were desirous of joining the unit, one in Richmond and the other in Muncie. Paul Furnas met with these groups and explained the work to them. These meetings were very helpful. Your committee also helped in the drive for funds for the Central Committee. Different members of the Committee appeared before several exemption beards and helped the boys who were going to France to be put into deferred class. We also helped the boys to secure passports

CHIEF AMERICAN ACE IS KILLED

(By Associated Press.). . , WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON THE LORRAINE FRONT, Sept. 13. First Lieut. David E. Putnam of Newton, Mass., American ace of aces, was killed late Wednesday afternoon while on patrol along the American lines. Lieut. Putnam was flying with Lieut. Wendella Robertson of Fot Smith, Ark., when they were attacked by seven German machines. Four of these made for Putnam's airplane and three attacked Robertson's. The attack was sudden and unexpected and the enemy wa3 able to fire from above. Lieut. Putnam was shot twice through the heart. His machine glided to the earth at Limey, vithin the American lines where he was found by his comrades. Lieut. Robertson returned safely. Lieut. David E. Putnam, a descendant of General Israel Putram, was credited with twelve aerial victories He enlisted as an aviator with the Lafayette flying squadron and brought down his first enemy machine Jan. 19, 1918. He was awarded the French war cross March 23, after having won five victories in the air. He was later decorated with the military medal by the French government. Lieut. Putnam was transferred to the American aerial corps as first lieutenant early in June. His achieve ment June 10, of bringing down five Germans airplanes in one day has been eclipsed only once during the war, Aviator Rene Fenck of tne French army having destroyed six machines in one day. Lieut. Putnam's last aerial victory was reported Sept. 2. We have spent, counting the. money we gave to the boys, $366.46 Most of this money was spent in the visits to the camps.

TEACHERS WANTED TO HELP DRAFT MEN Fifty teachers have been asked by Superintendent Giles to volunteer to help with the work of filling out the questionnaires of the men in the newdraft. A meeting for the purpose of organizing the teachers into groups and assigning their times for service was called at four o'clock this afternoon in high school.

This means that the object of the two organizations to consolidate instead of continuing to be rivals has been accomplished, stated Mrs. Whisler. Mrs. Roach has resigned as state war mother in view of the consolidation. Captured Documents Show Germans Expected to Hold St Mihiel (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, Sept. 19 -Captured German orders prove conclusively that the German official boast that American troops" took the St. Mihiel salient because the German army had been considering the evacuation for "years" is a typical deception. The official order of the tenth German divisions dated Sept. 18, far from giving orders for a retreat which had been planned "for years," gives the most detailed instructions for defense of the salient." General Pershing transmitted a copy of the order by cable today to the war department. The German , commander thought they had . provided for every contingency.

Organized Pillage U pon Hun

(Ey Associated Press.) WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN FRANCE, Sept. 19. Efforts to organize pillaging by the German army, and the transportation of loot appear, from official documents and varied events, to have been much more effective than the work of carrying out the removal of legitimate war booty during this summer's operations. The sacking of private houses and buildings throughout the regions from which the Germans have been driven," has been done with characteristic thoroughness by specially detailed squads. Advancing French armies, however, have found intact on the plateau in the region of Soissons and elsewhere important dumps of amunitions which the French had been obliged to abandon in their retreat last spring. An order, signed by General Von Marwitz, and dated May 28, was found in the pocket of a prisoner. It throws peculiar light on the subject of pillaging. After condemning in severe terms, disorganized looting by soldiers for their personal account on pilllage, this document calls attention to rules for organized pillage and says that men on "loot detachment" bearing white arm bandages and special identification cards have the same powers as military powers. It adds "the chief of these detachments will confiscate eatables and drinkables as well as objects of current use that are collect

FRESH FORCE Continued From Page One. marked by columns of smoke that gave the outlines of the battlefield. Every one of those men creeing and leaping forward over the upheaved ground was advancing in the face of machine guns cleverly concealed and strongly protected. They went on, just the same, until they surrounded them or rushed at them, conquering by their courage and individual intelligence the formidable defensive organization on which the Germans have spent their best efforts for four years. The earth works of the Hindenburg line are stronger than anything of this kind hitherto constructed, but the soldiers behind them have not today the fighting spirit that they had a year or even six months ago Officers Desert Men. Prisoners now are complaining that they are frequently left in the front line to shift for themselves. Rarely do their officers stand by them when they are attacked, they say. It often happens that machine guns which are ordered to hold positions and discover sometime afterward that the troops behind them have abandoned the field. They attribute the concealment from them of the retreat of the infantry to the fear entertained by their officers that they might be tempted to abandon their posts if they knew that they were to be sacrificed.

ed and keep guard over them until the arrival of the exploiting groups." Demolish Red Cross Building. Quartermasters are authorized by this document to apply to the use of; their units a proportionate quantity of booty, suitable for immediate consumption and to send the rest to the rear. Private letters written by prisoners give additional evidence of the extreme limits to which looting is practiced. A striking example of this work is found at the Vaubuin hospital, near Soissons, which was establish and managed by Madamoiselle CantonBaccarat. Before the building was demolished by German shells, it was completely sacked by German officers, the principal offender being an army surgeon, whose name is known and has been placed on file for future reference. Although supposedly unde the protection of the Red Cross, this hospital was robbed of everything it contained, including fifty thousand . francs in money and securities from Madamoiselle Baccarat's safe, framed pictures and photographs, for which coarse caricatures were substituted. Linen bedclothes, laboratory instruments and supplies valued at 1.500,000 francs and donated by Americans were taken. All the finer objects were shipped to Germany and the ordinary hospital beds went to the dugouts of German artillery officers around Soissons. Two hundred of these have been recovered since the region has been reoccupied. Nusbaum. At Red Cross Meetings . Tuesday evening Mrs. M. F. Johnston. Wednesday afternon Miss Blanche Scott.

(Bv Asorlatd Press.) LODNON, Wed., Sept. 18. Keenest appreciation of the promptness and the decisive nature of President Wilson's reply to the Austrian peace proposal was expressed In the -evening newspapers here. "President Wilson has once again hit the nail on the head by his dramatic treatment of enemy hypocricy,'' says the Pall Mall Gazette.. "In taking only a half hour to dispose of the Austrian communication he has shown the central powers the uselessness of wasting their time in making traps for the allied governments." "President Wilson has adopted a direct way of casting asid? almost contemptuously this 'diplomatic' product of the tried statemanship peculiar to the old world," says the Globe.
