CONSERVATION OF

CENTENARY RESULTS IS METHODIST PLAN Conservation of the results of the tentenary campaign of the Methodist Episcopal church ia the purpose of the conservation program which follows the movement and which will begin In this district about the last week in September and continue through the middle of October according to a statement made Thursday by the Rev. Sommerville Light, district superintendent of the Methodist churches. Dr. Light is chairman of the district superiatendents of the North Indiana conference and has called a meeting of that organization August 13th, at Lake Wawasee, at which time the program for the conservation movement will be definitely outlined. A campaign to be made by each district of the conference will be formulated. The program briefly consists of talks on evangelism of the home, of the church, of society end in foreign missionary work. Dr. Light eays the campaign will be called a "Chautau qua on Evangelism." About 150 men will be used for the campaign, 15 of whom will be mission aries of the Methodist church, in China, Japan, India and other places where the church has been active. These men will talk in the churches at afternoon and evening meetings on evangelism, at home and abroad. New Church At Hagerstown The results of the big centenary movement of the church were great and It Is the hope to retain them. The energies of the pastors, minute men, end unit leaders will be turned into an evangelical campaign for the en tire church. The reconstruction program of the church for which a large sum of mon ey was raised is being carried on mostly in foreign fields in all the countries devastated by the war. However a few problems are being met here at home, among them the rural church problem, which is being considered all over the country. Dr, Light said a new church will probably be built at Hagerstown and the Meth odist church at Centervilie, rebuilt and preserved, as a Methodist shri8 because of its historical value. A church will probably be built at Portland and other places in this dls trict. Churches in rural communities are being constructed all the time The money subscribed for the reconstruction program of the Methodist church is coming in rapidly and lnv portant work is being done.

League of Nations

Government, Charges Senator Fall

(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Aug. 1 President Wilson, the league of nations and the German peace treaty were criticised by Senator Fall of New Mexico, Republican member of the foreign relations committee, in an address today in the senate. Urging adherence to the American policy against European entanglements, Senator Fall declared President Wilson was asking the Senate to Join him in "deadening American patriotism." The league of nations, Senator Fall said, would create "a great super-government," subvert the American government, strike at the power of congress and result in the surrender of American freedom. Other provisions of the peace treaty were declared by Mr. Fall to exploit weaker races and nations and establish selfish rights. "The president appeals to the senate," said Senator Fall, to Join him in overturning the American policy of 140 years, in undermining every Influence with other nations which that policy has created and maintained; in deadening the Influence of American patriotism here at home; in rendering obsolete the word patriotism in our vocabulary; in Joining this nation, now possessing the confidence, respect and admiration of the people of the other nations, in a body of alliance, with the very selfish nations, who have caused our conduct to stand out in such brilliant contrast and in a council where our freedom of action hereafter will be controlled by the vote of eight of these nations. We are requested nay we are commanded to surrender our freedom, to yield our sovereignty to subvert our government. U. S. Outrated. "Joined with the other people of the world in this so-called peace treaty; constituting only a fraction of the governing body of the league; unable within the league to impress ourselves and our ideas and to make our de Great Rodea To Feature Entertainment For Fleet (By Associated Press) SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1.

The newspaper declares that the London men struck with dramatic suddenness and Ftartling unanimity, implying that the whole force responded to the call. This is contrary to all other newspaper leports which say that the call was generally ignored. General Sir Nevll Macready, chief commissioner of police, is quoted as saying at midnight that less than 250 men had struck and that these will be dismissed and never reinstated. Marston, chairman of the policemen's union, was among these men. The Scotland Yard authorities informed The Associated Press that up to 8 o'clock this morning only 536 of the entire metropolitan force had failed to report for duty and only one member of the city police. No reports have yet been received as to the effect of the strike call in the provincial cities but the belief is confidently expressed in official circles that the strike will prove abortive throughout the country. An official as one of the principal West End police stations said there were less than five per cent of absentees from the morning roll-call and that conditions were normal throughout London. U. 5. Securities To Bear Portrayal Of Fighters WASHINGTON, Aug. 1. James L. Wilmeth, director of the Bureau of Engraving has arranged to commemorate American valer in the war against Germany on securities to be issued by the government. Artists of the bureau are now engaged in making plates of charging infantrymen, pertrayed with historical accuracy in the uniform and equipment in use during the war. Another design inspired by the war is a triumphant liberty, soaring in the clouds above the capitol dome. Salvage Crews Face Death To Save German Vessels (By Associated Press) LONDON, Aug. 1. Salvage crews fece death in many ways trying to save the vessels sunk in the war by German submarines. One of the most perilous incidents of this service was that of a navy commander who cut away the nose of a live torpedo that had become jammed In the deck of a destroyer. So dangerous was the task that the naval authorities towed the destroyer three miles out to sea before they would permit the attempt. This salvage work has advanced very rapidly and become very profitable. Submersible lifting devices never before thought of have been devised and put into successful operation. Dangers from gases. due to decaying grain cargoes have been eliminated by scientific research. Diving appliances have been greatly improved. The cutting of steel plates under water is now only a detail and the construction of the standard patch to cover holes in hulls has reached the point where it is now merely a part of the day's work of the salvage men. TAUSSIG RESIGNS. WASHINGTON. Aug. 1. The resignation of F. W. Taussig as chairman of the United States tariff commission was accepted today by President Wilson.

mands, as we could out of it, because of the fact that we delegate to others the right to vote, eight votes to one against us in any matter of selfish interest in which they can unite; we have not only destroyed the government of our fathers but, in my mind, we have committed a crime against the nations of the earth, against civilization Itself, and retarded for more than a thousand years hat reign of Christ which we hope will eventually bring the people of the earth together. Regarding opposition to reservations protecting the Monroe doctrine, American SQverignty, immigration and other domestic questions, Senator Fall said that in 1912 every Democrat, including many now in service, insisted upon and voted for reservations to arbitration treaties then submitted by President Taft expressly reserving these questions. PENNINGTON WILL SPEAK ON "GLORY OF CROSS," TONIGHT "The Glory of the Cross" is Levi T. Pennington's subject in his address before the Young Friends Conference at Earlham, Friday evening, at 8 o'clock. The cross, symbolical of the death of Christ, and as much an instrument of tourture, and death as the guillltine, the handman's noose or the electric chair, will be considered in its relation to the Christian faith, and the fact will be brought out by President Pennington that even with the trials of this life Jesus Christ found something in it to be worth living for and worth dying for. Elderkin Speaks The address of Noble Elderkin on Thursday evening was devoted to a series of seven narratives depicting the work which has been accomplished j through the means used by the fel lowship. The Young Friends were special guests at an informal reception Thursday afternoon. Punch and cakes were served. Later in the afternoon all the guests were shown the departmental rooms of the new Five Years Meeting home.

Francisco 1 Villa's army, which advanced on Juar-1 I ez with the intention of conquering i northern Mexico and establishing an ; rebel government in the north, retired before United States tropps badly demoralized and disorganized, say deserters, impressed soldiers who escaped, and civilians who saw them at Villa Ahumada. After two days and nights of intermittant fighting for possession of Juarez, Villa had depleted his ammunition supply. A member of his staff who came to the border after the retirement, said many of Villa's men had no ammunition. Only Villa's bodyguard had more then 100 rounds. Soldiers had thrown their rifles away while crossing the desert with the American cavalry In pursuit. Villa's telegrapher, who escaped from Villa at Villa Ahumada, reported to Mexican officials in Juarez that the rebels were without food, and that their morale was very low. Dissentlons Among Men. Dissentions took place among Villa's men after the Juarez battle. Martin Lopez, who led the fighting at Juarez, is said to have denounced Villa and accused the bandit leader of deceiving his men in to believing the United States government would recognize the Villa revolution and American troops would not molest them when they attacked Juarez. Another report reaching the border stated that Villa selected 2,000 picked men from his forces and started south toward Parral, announcing that "he could not fight the Americans," and saying he was going back to the mountains. Villa activities in the vi cinity of Paral, recently would tend to confirm this report. General Angeles was reported to have separated from Villa and to be hiding in the hills near the border. Villa's partisans here denied that Villa's army was demoralized. They say one of Villa's tricks is to scatter his forces after battle and reassemble them when he is ready to conduct another campaign. Pilar de Conchos. on the Conchos river near Parral, is said by Villa's agents here to be the rendevous for Villa's forces and all the bands are drifting in that direction. 115 RESERVATIONS FOR CHAUTAUQUA One hundred and fifteen lot reservations for Chautauque had been made Friday afternoon, and the prospects were that when the general plat opens Saturday morning the remaining lots will be disposed of quickly. It is probable that additional lots will have to be platted W. O. Wissler said Friday. The tent dealers will be in the city Tuesday, August 6, and may be seen at the "Y" headquarters of the Chautauqua, it is announced. The tent flors are nearly completed, and will be covered as soon as the campers rent their tents. Tickets were reported to be selling very well for two weeks before the opening of the Chautauqua season, all the city dealers announcing that they had sold a number. Tickets for children are $1; for adults $2. SENATE GETS PROTOCOL (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Aug. 1 President Wilson sent to the senate the protocol which is to accompany the treaty of peace with Germany. The protocol was brought to the United States by Secretary Lansing.

TELEGRAPH COMPANY RATES ARE REDUCED

NEW YORK, August 1. When control of the telegraph systems .of the country was formally relinquished by the government at midnight, a reduction of 20 per cent in rates was made immediately on the lines of the Postal company, but the Western Union will retain the schedule put into effect after Postmaster General Burleson took control, April.l. Clarence H. McKay, president of the Postal, announced in a statement late Thursday that the rate reduction was "In accordance with its promise to the public." He qualified the announcement, however, by saying that if expenses continued to mount charges might have to go with them. Newcomb Carlton, president of the Western Union, who also has been in charge of the cable systems since last December, declared on the other hand: "We can not see our way clear to do better than we are doing at this time." Neither would discuss the possibility of a long continued "rate war." In his announcement, Mr. Mackay explained that the 20 per cent reduction represented the increase which Postmaster General Burleson put into effect, including leased wire rates, and that they would be restored to what they were before the government tobk'over the lines. Unionists To Take J Control From Germans (By Associated Press) AMSTERDAM, Thursday, July 31. The International Trades Union congress resuming its sessions today discussed rules for the new Internationale. The constitution of a bureau, the appointment of officers and the ques tion or the proportional representation of the different countries appear likely to arouse a lively debate, an endeavor to take control out of the hands of Germany which hitherto dominated the Internationale being in the making. The draft of the new rules contains a proviso giving one vote for every quarter million workers represented, ns aeainst on for pnrli millinn ni heretofore. The smaller nations would have a representative for any fraction of a quarter million workers. Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor in his eddress, claimed to represent the PanAmerican Federation of 21 republics. He declared he felt constrained to say that it was inadvisable, owing to the events of recent years to group Spain with the Spanish-speaking South AmerjCan states as the Snanish delegate the place for holding the meeting.

Revision In Tax System Is Planned By Chileans (By Associated Press) SANTIAGO, Chile, Wednesday, July

30. Minister of finance Philippl recommended revision of the tax system here today in reporting to the parliamentary budget committee on the condition of the treasury. Decrease in the exports of nitrate, the duties on which are its principal source of revenue, he told the commission caused a deficit of $26,000,000 of which $8,000,000 was obtained by Increasing other duties. The income for the' current year, Minister Philippi reported was estimated at $70,000,000 and the expenses at $66,000,000.

NEW PACIFIC FLEET BEATS 1918 RECORD (By Associated Press) SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1 When on its famous cruise around the world in 1908, the Atlantic fleet was 141 days, 7 hours enroute from Hampton Roads, Va., to San Francisco. The new Pacific fleet now enroute from Hampton Roads is scheduled to arrive at San Francisco in 27 days from the date of sailing.

The Atlantic fleet comprised 16 battleships with a flotilla of torpedo boats. The new Pacific fleet approximates 196 vessels of all classes. When Admiral Evans led his fleet in parade here in May 1908 his flagship led but 42 vessels of all descriptions. President Wilson is scheduled to review a Pacific fleet of more than 150 vessels here in August of this year. The old Atlantic fleet carried 14,000 men. The Pacific will bring 25,000.

PARLIAMENT ACTS : ON LABOR BILLS (By Associated Press) LONDON, Aug. 1. To provide adequate living wages and to set a limit of 48 hours as a week's work is declared to be the purpose of two important bills which are being prepared for action in Parliament. These two measures are understood to be the result of an agreement between representatives of employers, of trade unions and of the Minister of Labor, acting as a National Industrial conference. They are described as "government bills on maximum working hours and minimum time rates." The Wage Bill as drawn up provides for an inquiry by a commission to decide what shall be the minimum wages for adult and for young persons, the commission to consider the cost of living. It is also provided that the minimum wage shall be adequate to meet the increased living cost. The bill intended to make 48 hours constitute a week's work does not apply to domestic servants, seamen on ocean-going vessels, nor to employees in positions of trust and confidence. An inquiry is to be held regarding the working conditions of domestic

servants and seamen to determine whether they can be brought within the scope of the bill. , It is stated that if the bills are approved and accepted by the workers effected by them, the trade unkms will be asked to aid the government in organizing a National Industrial Council to be representative equally of employers and trade unionists.
