WORK OF INTRODUCTION
COMMITTEE IS OUTLINED
Miss Clara Matthews, of Paoli,
Talks on New C. E. 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. BALDWIN

Liberty Bonds Advance
to Par When Rich Men
Buy, Anticipating Tax
New York, Aug. 3. —Liberty 3%s
advanced yesterday to 100. 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.

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

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."

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.

work at Fifth Street Methodist

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.
