Watson, of the Willamette Iron and Steel Works of Portland, transacted business in Albany today. He Is a former Albany man. , ( hrl.t la the , 5:2S. Head of the Church. Kph. Hy KEV. (I. II. YOUNG lluring these yer.rs of tremendous upheaval which has brought us face to fare with the elemental facta of life, much haa been auid ami written about the church. What, then, of the Church of Tomorrow? In thia titanic atruggle between op posite ideals of civilization, which has just closed, it ran be at onre aaid that the church of America has clearly aeen that it waa a combat of the forcea of evil against the powers of righteous ness, and she haa not hesitated to give her best for the cauae of humanity. At the firat rail for help from the na tion her young men hurried to re sMnd with their lives, and the voice of the church backed those firat 400. uuU volunteers and every youth that went, with her meana, her benedic tions and spiritual morale. And now since righteousness haa prevailed. though the sacrifices have been great, the church of Christ rejoices that she waa worthy and ready to bring the full nieaaure of her devotion to the cause of liberty. The Christian church has not failed the cause of democracy in the fires of testing; but she has kept the torch of liberty burning brightly for the world. What, then, of the Church of Tomor row ? Kirat, the Church of Tomorrow must exalt Christ and His Gospel. Other fraternal, social or religious organiza tions may render some peculiar serv ice to society; but the function of the church is to exalt Christ and bring His gospel to the world the gospel of the redeeming love and grace of the eternal God. The church ia the rhief agency rail ed of God through Christ to lead men into the spiritual life. She ia not per fect. She is sometimes weak where she should be strong; world and friv olous when she ahould be serious. Too often her ministers proclaim a human philosophy and a mongrel gospel wnen they should proclaim the atoning gos pel of the divine Christ. But when all Is confessed, the church of Christ re mains the best institution for promot ing the knowledge of the one true God ami producing individual and national -.it'lurousncss. There are many sub sidiary institutions aa the Sunday, schools, young people's societies, Y. M. C. A.'s and other religioua and philanthropic organizations, but the church is the inspiration of them all. At the center of all great moral and spiritual uplift stands the church, the head of which ia Jesus Christ. Second, the Church of Tomorrow must continue to minister to the indi vidual souls of men. An ideal human soriety upon earth can only come as individuals are perfected. To improve the individual by the recreative pro cess of the grr.ee of God in the heart through the development of faith, is the special task of the church. The ministry of the church is to grow souls in men to nurture love, purity and righteousness. "The soul of all improvement is the improvement of the soul." And so long as charac ter is inspired with the life nnd light of Christ's sweet and benutiful gospel by this institution called the church, no true Christian cares by what name it goes. We know the world's great red is a church that will inspire men to nil things great and noble, by in filling their lives with the righteous impulses of the gospel of Christ. And, third, the Church of Tomor row must also direct its devotion to the betterment of organized society. Social salvation is an integral part of the program of Christ. It demands that the commonwealth must be Chris tianized in its social, political and commercial activities, and the ethics of Christ projected more fully Into so ciety. It is irreligion and godlcssness that vitiates human society. The curse of a chaotic, blood-thirsty. Godless Bol shevism is worse than a prating, sac religious, cruel Kaiserism. Life in autocratic Russin was preferrable to life under the Holshcviki's cruel re gime. The nearer the world gets to the ethics of Christ the more permanent and righteous its institutions will be come. The more spiritual the church liernmes the more serviceable it will le to mankind. If men and women would enter the church of Christ and learn God's truth for their lives and follow It, justice and purity and mer cy would quickly abound in the world. Let us renew our fidelity to Christ and His church, knowing full well that the true glory of life comes from re- producing the spirit and principles of the Master in the life of tha world, SENATE FIGHT Old Cuard Protest Fails t Make Impression with Senator From Nebr. RULES FIGHT GOES TO DEMOCRAT COMMITTEE Progressive Republicans Ex pect to Obtain Favorable Report on Proposal By lr C. Martin WASHINGTON, Nov. 18 The sen ate progressives today opened their fight to prevent the republican old grard from monopolizing power af ter March 4.

Now Please Tell Us How to Make Coal Dust WASHINGTON, Nov. 18. Make your own coal! This is what they are doing in Eng land, the department of commerce has stated. Very simple.

A squadron of traveling hot-bath trucks is a new scheme of the chemical warfare serv ice for treatment of American soldiers suffering from German mustard gas. At several points these trucks are held in readiness to start whenever the Germans start a gas bombardment. The most important part of the treatment ia a hot bath as soon as pos sible after the gas touches the skin. Before t'-e hurry-up outfits, gas suf ferers had to lie transported to the nearest hospital with facilities for bathing. This sometimes meant a de lay of hours when minutes were prec ious. Now bath trucks hurry toward the front upon receipt of a telephonic announcement of the beginning of a gas bombardment. The trucks push up as close to the line ns possible, and within a few minutes ore ready. Each carries a 2,500 gallon tank of water and ar instantaneous heater. Other autos carry a demountable bath pavilion and piping. The work of put ting up the tent and making the con nections is a matter of only a few minutes. More than 20 soldiers can bathe simultaneously. As the sufferers arc brought in, the attendants undress them ond dip the clothing in n solution of lime water. Even the helmets anil shoes are im- merred. Meanwhile the victims nre quickly sprayed with liquid soap and taken into the showers for 15 seconds. Then attendants scrub them nnd spray their eyes, noses and throats with a solution to counteract the burning and irritation of the poison. The men arc then given rlenn clothing and sent to an evacuation hospital. The attend ants wear oilskin one-piece suits with tight-fitting headpieces. Puring a recent test 48 men were bnthed in two and one-half minutes. Dance Wednesday Night The loral rompany of Homo Guards will give a jitney dance at the arm- j ory Wednesday night.

"The cities and towns of Linn coun ty have responded well," said Chair man Young this morning, "but the country districts for some reason or other have failed to do as well aa the metropolitan centers. Albany ia over the top and Shedd, Tangent, Halsey. Ibanon and Scio have raised their quota- Brownsville has thus far not made its report. Most of the country districts appear to have lost interest in the war work and manytawve sub scril'ed five dollars who areSwell able to give twenty-five. The fact that we have been unable to hold meetings is partly the cause of this apparent lack of interest. The subscription books will remain open during the balance of the week." PEACE TRIUMPH OF RIGIH Father Lane Predicts Justice Will Replace Force in In ternational Relations Speaking yesterday at St. Mary's church. Father Lane said in part: Today we are keeping an anticipat ed Thanksgiving. America is thrilled with joy and the voice of America arises in auch a chorus of praise and thanksgiving that it must surely reach to the skiea and resound over the earth to gladden the hearts of angels and of men. In every church and from every pulpit throughout the land this', or svnu similar message, has gone forth to the people; "Come ye and behold the works of the Lord: making wars to cease even to the end of the earth." This is indeed God's work. As our President says: "God in his good pleasure has given us peace. It has not come as a mere cessation of arms. It haa come as a great triumph of right. Victory has brought us not peace alone, but the confident prom ise of a new day in which justice shall replace lorce. A new 'day shines about us after a night of bloodshed and horror. For four years and three months the world has lain stricken and bleeding. There seemed no remedy at hand and th Lord alone who could heal seemed to tarry in coming. But the Lord does all things wisely and it was his pur pose to teach the world a great and terrible lesson before the day of peace. Autocracy in Europe had to learn its last lesson, and be brought through adversity to read the handwriting against it on the wall. We on the oth er hand had to learn anew the lesson of our dependence on God. We had to lie weaned from selfishness and be stirred to a new pity for the suffer ings of a whole world, r mnlly, as Americans we had to learn through sacrifice and patriotism to rededicate ourselves to the high and holy prin ciples for which America stands. Must I now turn to the sad subject of our ti:ll of death? Must 1 sadden you by even a reference to the count which the world is now taking of its wounded nnd dead? Can it be that ten million men have been slaughtered and as mnny wounded and maimed? In these seventeen months of our par ticipation has America's toll risen to seventy-five thousand? Yes, so we are assured by those who know. For these bravo soldiers of America who sleep 'nenth the daisies of France and the poppies of Flanders we ran only breathe today a sigh of regret and a prayer of requiem for their happy re pose. And now as to the day which is 'awning let us say with our Presi dent: "We must seek divine guidance in the performance of our duties and di vine mercy. We shnll pray that in all that we do we shall strengthen the ties of friendship and mutual respect upon which we must build the new structure of pence and good will among nations." Here From Salem Miss Gertrude Tacto of Salem spent the week-end in Albany visiting Miss Grace Townsend. She returned home this morning;.
