Well, he guessed about right. * * * One of the biggest problems confronting Germany today is the means whereby the country can procure a sufficient supply of foodstuffs. One thing is certain and that is that the people of the South must quit wearing woolen goods and learn to use cotton cloth more and more in the making of garments. ? ? Nearly every farmer you talk with says that he intends to plant some cotton.

The European war has developed hitherto unused and unexpected methods of warfare. It has also brought new problems in military surgery and ! new aspects of surgical bacteriology. The Journal of the American Medical Association lias published foreign correspondence indicating the peculiar nature of some of the wounds encountered and referring to some of the characteristics of the wound infections and their consequences following the injuries received on the battlefields. The reports of some of the bacteriologists conducted in the French hospitals serve to explain some of the conscquen cos and to indicate the surgical procedures that may be called for in the management of the wounded on the French and Belgian frontiers. Metchnikoif states that wounds produced by bullets are frequently free from micro-organisms occasonally found in almost pure culture, notably in penetrating wounds of the skull and in simple bullet wounds of limbs. Some are of only slight virulence, and erysipelas is reported in few instances. In most of the open wounds foreign substances such as shrapnel balls, fragments of shells and pieces of clothing are present. The germs of gangrene and tetanus arc also found. In a report to the sanitary service of the British army in France, Weinberg argues that it is logical to assume that these organisms found in the wounds are of intestinal derivation. The earth in the trenches from which those suffering with gangrene were ( klfPn e n O/\J1A/1 ... 14U ? J uu vi >v ii oviicu mui iiuincin u*i" jcct* and manure. Remnants of filthy clothing likewise find their way into the wounds. TRESPASS NOTICE.

AMERICAN PROPOSALS BEIN6 CONSIDERED Both in London and in Berlin, But No Definite Answer RESENT DELICATE HINT Just Nhat Conclusion will Come As Result of Negotiations is Unknown. The proposals of Washington to Groat Britain and Germany which are in Londum assumed to embrace abandonment of Germany's self-declared war zone and adoption by the belligerents of some definite policy regarding* foodstuffs for the civilian population, have noticeably quickened tin* public interest both in this country [ and in Germany in this delicate diplomatic publication. The British press in general is restrained in tone, but the average Englishman plainly resents what he considers n hint nn ill< .. -- V ?? ? ?-vv/vv I I I (/ t tv 111 tcrfcrc with the absolute blockade of I Germany should Great Britain can ! to enforce it with her sea power. Meanwhile, in spite of the sinking of four more British merchantmen, involving the loss of four lives. G"cat Britain still holds off from declaring food destined to Germany to he contraband. It is believed if this step is taken it will he postponed until the American proposal has been discussed at length. ? f I Ju.-i what this proposal is the public boHi ia London and^ in Berlin, is un! aware. Its only information has been' the meagre and qualified dispatches from Washington. There seems no doubt, however, that Great Britain will reserve the right to declare food J contraband at any time she deems it neecsary, especially as Germany's so-j called blockade litis been forced with ail tho power Germany has at her: command for a week past. How the British cabinet feels about the matter would appear to have been! plainly indicatod by statements made) by Foreign Secretary Grey,. Premier Asquith and First Lord of the Admiralty Churchill, all of which have mere than hinted that drastic retaliatory measures might be expected at any moment. Now that the Russians have made a stand on their own soil, news of the j lighting in the East has become aj mass of contradictory statements and counter claims. The German j claim of a victory in Poland are cir- j cumstantial and detailed. The Rusi sion denials, while emphatic, arc sweeping and general. It would appear that at the present moment neither the Austrians nor the Germans are making headway anywhere on the line from the Baltic to tlie Carpathians. WASHINGTON RECEIVES! NO FURTHER WORD On Sea Proposals Made by This I Country to Belligerents INFORMAL IN ITS NATURE Both Sodes, it is Understood, Are Still Considering the Suggestions Made by This Country. Washington, Feb. 27.?No word came either from Great Britain or Germany concerning their attitude on , the American government's proposals for the removal of mines, the abandonment of submarine warfare on merchant ships and the shipment of foodstuffs to the civilian population of belligerents. Both sides were understood still to be considering the Washington administration's suggestions and replies were not expected for two or three days. From the press reports of England's plans for reprisals, de i i i ciueci on Dctorc the American proposals arrived, officials did not draw much encouragement for the success of their plan. They are hopoful, however, that if an acceptance of all the proposals is not possible now, there at least will be an acquiescence by all the belligerents in the suggestion that mines will be removed from the high seas except those directly guarding coast defences and harbors. Inquiry as to the form of the. Washington government's latest diplomatic correspondence with the belliger| ents over the war zone problems brought the information from reliable sources today that the corounications sent identically to Great Britain and Germany were of an informal character with a suggestion of three articles which might be the basis for a "mo cius Vivendi," technically known among diplomatic papers as an exchange of notes and regarded as a temporary agreement designed to cover an emergency situation. The suggested articles, which might become the "modus vivondi," cover the plan, the details of which are not worked out in the notes for the supervision by angencies certified to by the United States government for the distribution of imported foodstuffs to the civilian population of belligerents. Two other articles deal with the removal of floating mines ami the abandonment of submarines and attacks on merchant vessels. The text is comparatively brief. V .COPY SUMMONS FOR. RELIEF.

In expressing its social interest, the modern rural ! church does not hesitate to claim that. 1 it is expressing a true religious in* stinct and the old-time idea that the I social instincts should be staived 1 while the spiritual nature was over fed with solid theological food, is fast giving way to a broader interpret*t tion of the functions of true religion. t We take our place in the succession . i of those who have sought to make the i world a fit habitation for the children of man when we seek to study and i understand the social duty of the rural church. The true christian re* I llgion is essentially social?its tenet*, t of faith being love and brotherhood > and fellowship. Wblle following after . rignteousness, the church must cbh> I , ienge and teak to reform that nodal I i order in which mora) lite is e*? I i pronged. Wfcflp cherishing Jdeahrof I i service, the rural church which Jt- I i taino the fullest measure of succeee 1 ; is that which enriches as many lives I , as it can touch, and in no way can % i the church come in as close contact J i with its members as through the I ) avenue of social functions. I l The country town and the rural I community need a social center. The I church need i ffer no apology for its I ambition to fill this need lu the com- I munlty, if an understanding of ita K mission brings this purpose into clear consciousness. The structure of a,? i rural community is exceedingly com ' ; plex; it contains many social groups. each of which has its own center, but there are many localities which have I 1 but one church and although such a church cannot command the inter- I est of all the people, H la relieved I from the embarrassment of religiously 4? divided communities. I
