Dr. Hawes gathered up some of the more easily tabulated events of his three years of service in the Presbyterian church, and gave them to the congrega- tion last Sunday. Some of them are as follows: When he took charge of the con- gregation October 13th, 1911, there were 343 members. In these three years 105 have been added on confession and 39 on certificate. The losses have been, by death 24, by removal to other congrega- tions 17, by having names placed on “side roll’’ 33. The present membership is 413. The pastor has preached to this congregation 311 times, and elsewhere 98 times. Total sermons and addresses 409. No record has been kept of prayer- meeting talks, talks to the Academy stu- dents, talks to the Men’s Bible class, and funeral addresses. The pastor has con ducted 47 funerals and assisted at 9 others. He has married 16 couples. The contributions of the church for the three years total, for missions, etc., $12,598, for local expenses $24,536. Total contribu- tions $37,234. The Holy Communion will be adminis- . tered in St. John’s Lutheran church next Sunday. On next Friday evening at 7.45 o’clock preporatory services will be held, when new members will be received and children will be baptized. On Sunday at 3 o'clock p. m., there will be a men’s meeting at the "United Brethren church. Women and boys under thirteen years of age excluded. Subject, “Man.” All men are invited.

Following immediately upon the an-, nouncement that the United States had filed a protest with England, de- manding the release of the Standard Oil ank steamship John D. Rockefel ler, word was received that another tanktr, the Platuria, also had been seized by a British warship. The Standard Oil company has ask- ed the state department to make a protest in the case of the Platuria, as well as that of the Rockefeller. This is the third oil-laden ship captured within eight days, the first being the! Brindilla, now in Halifax harbor. | The Platuria, which formerly was| the German steamer Diamant, but! which changed her flag shortly before leaving New ‘York on Oct. 5, was cap- | tured off the coast of Scotland and, taken into a port in the Lewis It ands. Acting Secretary of State Lansing announced that the protest had been! made. He discussed the general sub: ject of neutral shipping with President Wilson, and it was understood that the president has taken the position that vigorous efforts must be made to pro tect vessels flying the American flag, | in cases where international law does: not give the right of seizure. In cases where ships formerly under foreign registry, but transferred to American registry, are seized, the gov-! ! ernment will carefully inquire wheth: er the transfer was bona fide, and’ once that is established. will do its ers carrying on lawfiy trade. | As the Rockefeller was American: | owned, and flew the American flag and’ no change of registry was involved, ! the American, government considers the seizure unwarranted. She had American officers and crew. | The ship was bound from one neutral | port to another, leaving Philadelphia on Sept. 2 for Copenhagen, carrying illuminating oil, which Secretary Lan from Great Britain. The vessel was taken to the Orkney Islands. In this connection, it was learned! that the British government has de clared illuminating oil contraband, but notification has not yet been sent! to neutral countries. The British point of view is that il luminating oil can be used in the pro . pelling of Zeppelins, submarines and | destroyers, and it was pointed out that within the last month there has been a significant increase in the amount , oil shipped from the United States as shown by the EMDEN SINKS FIVE SHIPS German Cruiser Still" Ravaging * Brit ° ish Commerce Near India. The German cruiser Emden has again been sinking British steamers, | this time 150 miles southwest of Co- chin, British India, according to a re- . port received by the admiralty from Colombo, Ceylon. She has sent to the bottom the Brit: i ish steamers Chikana, Trolius, Ben- mohr and Clan Grant and the dredger The British steamer Exford was captured by the Emden. BOOKS, MAGAZINES, Etc. Despite the fact that the European war has practically paralyzed scientific research and mechanical achievement and invention in the countries involved, the November Popular Me- chanics magazine contains its full quota of new and interesting material. Fifty-four unusual war pictures, in a special section of the magazine, together with numerous short illustrated arti- cles which pertain to the war make up for any lack of other foreign news. The November number contains, in all, 301 articles and 363 illustrations, making a mos valuable as well as interesting number of this always valuable publication. The Woman's Home Companion for November is one of the most entertaining numbers of that always interesting and valuable publication. In this issue Anne Morgan, youngest daughter of the late J. Pierpont Morgan, begins a series of four talks to American girls. The subject of the first talk is the girl’s education and the next arti- cle is to deal with the girl and her responsibili- | ties. - Miss Morgan is a woman of wide mental vision and warm sympathies whose conclusions are founded on the broadest travel and exper- ience and on mature thought. . In the same issue a chapter is reproduced fom Olive Schreiner’s “Woman and Labor.” In the fashion department Grace Margaret Gould, the well-known fashion editor, writes an article showing the effect of the war on fashions. Many other articles are contri that make the November number particularly useful as well as entertaining: ~ FIELD SPORTS.—When you keep a boy inter- ested in football, baseball, tennis, and the like, you lessen the chances that he will get interested in things not so good for him. The Youth's Companion, sinceits enlargement, gives generous space to this matter of athletic training, and gets the best coaches in the coun- try to write for it. ~ How to practice to become a first-rate pitcher, how to train for a race, how to learn the newest strokes in swimming=is only a small part of the service which the Compadion renders in any home which it enters. It has points of contact with a hundred interests. Every new subscriber who sends $2.00 for the fifty-two weekly issues of 1918 will receive free all the issues of the paper for the remaining weeks of 1914; also the Companion Home Cal- endar for 1915.

An Appeal to the People of Pennsylvania It is in the interest of the pub- tic—whose chief concern is good service and safety—that the Extra Crew Law now on the Statute books of Pennsyl- vania and other States be re- pealed. This' law causes a waste of $1,100,000 annually in the employment of unneces- sary men on the Pennsylvania System alone. No one is more concerned than the Pennsylvania Railroad . Company in securing maxi-- mum safety on its lines. train on this railroad has a full crew, and this extra ex- penditure adds nothing to safe- ty or public convenience. The same money had much better be spent to remove grade cross- ings, improve tracks, signals, and bridges, and buy steel cars. This extra crew law, which compels unnecessary ex- penditures, is one of the fac- tors which menaces the ability of this Company to pay pres. ent rates of wages to that great body of employees whose activities are needed. The Public Service Commis- sion should see to it that all trains are properly manned. Such action would amply pro- tect employees and the public. We appeal to the people in their own irterest, we appeal to our employees in their best interest, to ask their, represen- tatives in the next Pennsylva- nia Legislature to repeal the Extra Crew Law.
