Depart ment; Notes of Interest Introduction of Christian Endeav orers into societies and among new friends in social ctrcles is becoming a popular method of the Pennsyl vania C. E. Union through the state introduction department superintend ent. Miss Clara R. Matthews, of Paoli. Miss Matthews writes: "In these days, when it is becom ing more and more the custom for young people to leave their homes and take up work or study in a new place or the service of our country, there is an increasing need of such service as the Introduction depart ment can render. Perhaps a little Interest shown such young men and women in their new surroundings will be all that is necessary to save them from indifference and careless ness in their church relations. There may be some Endeavorers who have a disinterested attitude toward re ligious work in their own homes and may be aroused by the aid of the introduction committee in a new place. There are also the shy, home sick and lonely, to whom our de partment, directed by a sympathetic and Christlike spirit, may minister cheer and brotherly kindness, which should radiate from every church and C. E. society to strangers. Miss Matthews became a member of the First Presbyterian C. E. So ciety twelve years ago. She served faithfully on the flower, social and prayermeeting committees, after which she was elected secretary of the society. Later she was elected president of the society, which of fice she served for four years until she was elected corresponding sec retary of the Chester County C. E. Union. She has been a teacher of the Sunday school for eight years and president of the Sabbath School Association during the last four years and is also chairman of the prayermeeting committee of the so ciety. C. E. Notes Christian Endeavors In foreign lands always suffer for lack of funds to get out C. E. helps. This year a windfall has come to China In the generous gift of SI,OOO from the Milton Stewart fund for free distribution of C. E. topic 'booklets in China. This will enable the workers in China to send out 30,000 copies of these helps, besides the 10,000 that are sold each year. Many friends will invoke the sym pathy of the Rev. Daniel A. Poling, J associate president of the United So ciety of Christian Endeavor, Bos- I ton, in behalf of the death of hisj wife, who died Thursday, July 25. ] at Auburndale, Mass. The topic for discussion in the j C. E. prayer services to-morrow evening will be "All For Christ"— 11, "Our Ambitions." The motto, "Practice the Power of God," has been adopted by the REV.

That is the tirst time these bonds have sold at par since October last year. Yes terday's high record for the Liberty 3%s was generally attributed by Wall street to buying by rich men in anticipation of higher taxes. The Liberty 3%s are the only tax ex empt bonds that have been issued by our government since we wene into the war. That is why that issue, paying only 3% per interest, is selling far above the Liberty 4s and even the Liberty 4'/is. The campaign for the first Liberty loan ended in June of 1917. Around the close of that month the new .3%s sold as high as 100.06. Then there wsa steady decline until 99.32 was reached in August. After that every body began to talk about the new war tax bill that was then being planned by Congress. That bill, with its heavy tax against large incomes, became a law in October. On Sep tember 29, or just a few days before the tax law was passed, the tax-ex empt 3%s touched their high-rec ord at 100.32. On January of this year the tax-exempt 3'/4s were back to 97.20. It was after that that the Treasury Department began to talk u bout raising the war tax. Since then the demand for the tax-exempt 3%s has ben Increasing. France Withdraws High Crime Against Malvy By Associated Press Parts, Aug. 3.—Attorney General Merillon summed up In the High Court of Justice yesterday the gov ernment's case in the trial of Louis Malvy, former minister of interior in several French cabinets. The attorney general said M. Mal vy was not a traitor as Leon Dau had reall ynot betrayed his country, tion and editor of L'Action Kran caise, had declared, and he contened that the former interior minister ha really not betrayed his country. The attorney general said he did not wish to compare M. Malvy either with 8010 Pasha or M. Duval, director of the Bonnet Rouge, both of whom were shot as traitors, and that he would withdraw the charge of treason in Malvy's case. Attorney General Mer.lllon main tained, however, that M. Malvy was partly responsible for certain muti nies 'in the French army, which he attributed to pacifist propaganda, and he stated that the former min ister should be punished In this connection. MRS.

With Choir and Organist VOLUMES of choir music have been written, but it is evident the best probably has come from the master composers whose works are given prominence and preference in the English churches. Recently in St. Paul's Cathedral. London, the morning anthem was "O, Jesus, Son of God," set to Bach music. The evening anthem was Men delssohn's "Be Not Afraid," from the oratorio "Elijah." At Westminster Abbey the music on the same Sunday included Nares' "Souls of the Right eous," Stainer's "I Am Alpha," and Wesley's "The Lord Is My Shep herd." In Jouthwark Cathedral the morning anthem was Bach's "Lord, Thou Hast Been Our Refuge." In Temple Church the morning anthem was Walford Davies' "Lord, It Be longs Not to My Care." In Gray's Inn Chapel Sullivan's "Come, Ye Chil dren," was the anthem and in St. Marleybone Parish Church, Elgar's "Jesus, Word of God Incarnate." El gar's "Jesus, Meek and Lowly" and Sullivan's "O, Gladsome Light" were the musical numbers at St. George's, Hanover Square. Elmer Hobbs Ley, basso, who sang with the Pine Street Presby terian Church quartet in the ab sence of George E. Sutton, has had much experience in concert work. Mr. Ley, whose voice is big and robust, is a graduate of Toronto University. He formerly sang in Cor nell Collegiate Church, New York, and in Brooklyn. Mr. Ley is to sing the first Sunday In September. It Is likely several singeesr will be heard in the Pine street choir loft before a successor to Mr. Sutton is chosen. The choice is with Mr. McCarrelt. The music committee of the church is composed of Edward Z. Gross, Harry B. McCormick and R. M. Mateer. During the month of August Mrs. Henry H. Lentz, assistant organist at Pine Street Presbyterian Church, will have charge of the music in the absence of Prof. Frank A. McCarrell, who is absent on his vacation. Miss Martha Armstrong, soprano, will lead the singing the first two Sundays and Mrs. William Heisley the last two Sundays in the month. The quartet choir will resume its work the tirst Sunday in September. Another city organist who is en joying a well-earned vacation is Mrs. Emma Hoffman, whose work at Mes siah Lutheran Church has proved BIG BANK URGES TEMPERATE TALK FOR WAR SPEED Declares Charge of Profiteer ing Against Meat Packers Is 111 Considered Talk New York, Aug. 3.—Roundly scor ing the Federal Trade Commission for the manner in which it has han dled the business situation of the na tion in respect to prices and profits, the National City Bank in its Au gust circular declares that the sub ject is one which "should be treated officially in a temperate manner," and that "ill considered utterances under the color of authority" have a tendency to "throw sand into the bearings at a time when the highest efficiency is needed." Particular reference is made in the circular to the recent report of the commission on their investiga tion into the activities of the meat packers. "The large meat packers come in for the most severe de nunciation," the report declares, and continues; "Five concerns who are named are said to have 'monopolis tic control of the meat industry' and to be 'reaching out for like domina tion in other products, end their manipulations of the market em brace every device that is useful to them, without regard to law.' 'How ever delicate a definition is given of profiteering,' says the commission, 'these packers have preyed upon the public unconscionably.' " "The commission report," con tinues the circular, "tells nothing about the profits of the meat pack ing companies that was not known to everybody who reads the printed reports sent to their thousands of stockholders and summarized in fi nancial columns, but it makes omis sions and comments which mislead a reader unfamiliar with such af fairs and without other sources of Information. "Profiteering," the bank adds, "is something readily denounced but not so easily defined, and all those who discourse upon the subject have not demonstrated their capacity to judge of profits with practical sense and discrimination. "Business," the bank declares, "is being done at the present time un der great difficulties and uncertain ties and profits are not closely cal culated in advance. • • • u p t0 this time fortuitous circumstances have been favorable to profits, but experience has taught that the profits which come under such con ditions are needed in the long run to meet the losses which come in the same manner." During the month of July we opened more new checking accounts than in any month in our history. vFurthermore, during the past seven months our records show a correspond ing increase in these accounts over any i ■Bri' iSSp iness district will make a convenient | B aj| ml MEMBER FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM 1832-1918 AUGUST 3, 1918 most helpful for a number of years. To Mrs. Hoffman was given the hon or of opening the tine new electric organ, first heard in public at the dedicatory services of the church in June. During her aJbsence Miss Kath ryn Raymond, a well-known organ ist, is filling her place. George Sutton, baritone, called for service in the Army and now at Camp Lee, is busy learning the craft of war. Brief word from the popular singer received by friends here, is that he is knee deep in the war game. At the request of quite a number of worshipers, the choir of Westmin ster Presbyterian Church, will sing to-morrow morning the impressive trio, "Praise Ye," adapted to music from Verdi's "Attila." The anthem number will be Dudley Buck's "Oh, Lord, Rebuke Me Not." with soprano solo by Miss Wilson. Gower's beauti ful morning hymn +ias been chosen as the opening congregational num ber. George Flack, a Tech boy and tal ented player, Is playing the organ at Fifth Street Methodist Church, in the absence of Miss Violet Cassel, who is enjoying her vacation. Miss Louise Baer, whose excellent work at Fifth Street Methodist Church on Thursday evening in the concert given iby the studio quartet, is the daughter of Cameron L. Baer, school director and general manager of the Cumberland Valley Telephone Company. Charles M. Schwab Is an organist of considerable ability and wide dis crimination. He has an affinity with music which' by some mystic pro cess makes h;m more efficient in his affinity with steel. The imaginative quality applied in any business or profession works wonders beyond the power of the man who is without it. "The sound that is most beau tiful," said Mr. Schwab at Willow Grove, "is that of massed voices singing. Next to that, perhaps, is the grand diapason of an organ. But there is one sound I like better than either. It comes when I enter a ship yard and a workman turns and says, 'Hello, Charlie!'-" The artistic strain in Mr. Schwab obviously lies deep. It has done for him what art doesn't do for many of those who practice it in a pre tentious way. It has carried him to the state of mind with which all 1 great work begins—to a sense of in timate fellowship -with all men. NEW BLOWS AT HUNS ON WAR FRONTS IMPEND Dash of American Troops in Center Driving Enemy From Salient Washington, Aug. 3.—The col lapse of the German defensive posi tions just north of the Ourcq, forced by the dash of American troops in the center and the brilliant French and British flank operations which followed, is sweeping the enemy swiftly back out of the Aisne-Marne falient. The rush forward to-day came so swiftly that It was difficult for Army officials here to appraise the full extent of the victory. As the situation stood, according to reports late last night, however, there was a strong possibility that the Germans would be unable to hold the Vesle line toward which they are hastening and wouWJ be driven to the heights north of the Aisne. iThe greatest value seen by many officials in all that has happened since the counter blow was launched is that a precedent of a victory on the western front has been estab lished. It has been fully demon strated already that the enemy can be fought offensively, and there are many signs that his punishment is just beginning. There are renewed possibilities of a coup of a decisive character, it is believed. Among Army officers there is a strong feeling that operations on other fronts of the western line are impending. They believe that a blow by the British to obliterate the Flanders salient may come at any moment. American troops pursuing the enemy, forces on the Sois f-ons-Rheims front began to fall back yesterday morning, have pene trated to a depth of live miles and their progress is continuing. Gen eral Pershing reported in the day's communique received late last night by the War Department. In Thursday's fighting. American troops captured Hill 230, south of Coulenges, and the wood east of the hill. American aviators last night successfully bombed the railroad station and yards at C'onflans, nu merous hits being made, the com munique says.
