OF REV. TUCKER
W'herenB, He v. Harry K. Tucker
lias resigned the pastoral care of the
First Christian church of this city to
engage in the work of an Kvangclist,
And whereas, he is a tried and
true minister of the Gospel of Jesus
Christ, faithfully proclaiming Christ,
tiie hope of the sinner,
And whereas, he has been one of
the very foremost members of the
.Medford Ministerial Association serv
ing as president and secretary, and
always manifesting the fraternal
spirit.
Now, therefore, be it resolved:
First, that we express our deep re
gret at the loss of our dear fellow
laitorer from the religious work of
tho city of Medford.
Second, that we commend him to
Christian people everywhere, irres
pective of denomination, as a man of
fine Christian character, an able
preacher, and worthy of confidence
and co-operation.
Third, that the Medford Minister
ial Association serve a luncheon on
New Years day in his honor and ns
further giving expression to the very
cordial relation existing toward him
by ail tho pastors and churches
represented In and by the Medford
Ministerial Association.
Fourth, that a copy of these reso
lutions be placed upon the records of
the Medford Ministerial absolution, n
copy sent to Kev. Mr. Tucker, and a
copy furnibhed the city papers.

stens, pastor First Haptist church.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S. The of
ficial text of Germany's reply to
President Wilson's peace note was
received here early today. So far as
was known, it was unaccompanied by
any other communication and was
said to be substantially the same as
the unofficial text received Tuesday
from Berlin.
The official text, which differs
some In phraseology from the unof
ficial follows:
"The Imperial government has ac
cepted and considered In the friendly
spirit which is apparent In the com
munication of the president (the)
noble Initiative of the president look
ing to the creation of basis for the
foundation of a lasting peace.
"The president discloses the aim
which lies next' to his heart and
leaves the choicest way open.
"A direct exchange of views ap
pears to the imperial government as
the most suitable way of arriving at
the desired results. The Imperial gov
ernment has the honor, therefore, in
the sense of its declaration of the
12th Instant, which offered the hand
for peace negotiations, to propose
speedy assembly on neutral ground,
of delegates of the warring states.
"It Is also the view of the imper
ial government that the great work
for the prevention of future wars can
first be taken up only after the end
ing of the present conflict of exhaus
tion. The imperial government Is
ready when this point has been
reached, to co-operate with the Unit
ed States In this sublime task."
The board of directors of the Phoe
nix Karm Loan association held its
tirt meeting at tiie town hall, Phoc
nix, Wednesday afternoon at 1
o'clock and elected (he following com
mittee of appraisement : T. K. Scant'
lin, Medford, eh.unnan; John A.
fJammel and M. J. Xorris of Phoenix.
It i tlte desire of this committee to
irrt into communication with similar
committees of the various fctrrn loan
a-ociations throughout the county
with the view of establishing uniform
land valuations so essential U the
success of the individual associations
and of the syMem itself. There should
be some sort of co-operation, either
organized or informal.
NKW YOKK. Dec. US. The LirjvA
.single day'-, importation ot irr,ld into
thi country was recorded today with
the deposit of $:s:i,000,ou by J. P.
Morgan & Co. in tile Philadelphia and
New York a--ay offices. Uf this
amount, .fJ-VlMUUMM. deposited here
was in the form of American eaies,
being the identical jjold which was
shipped to Paris in April, 1!HU, dur
ing the lioo-evelt administration, by
thw government, as part of the pay
ment of $40.ll00,0mi made to the old
French Panama Canal company for
its equities in the canal.
It was brought hack to this coun
try in the same boxes in which it wa
sent abroad and in which it has been
kept for nearly thirteen years. This
jiold represented the t'ir-t importa
tion in the form of American gold
eagles since the present movement
hejan, the bulk of pievious receipts
beim; in bar gold and other forms.
Today's consignments bring the to
tal gold import-, for the year up to
.li7.H,000,noO, exceeding by several
hundred millions the inflow for any
previous year.
The movement was interpreted
here as an indication of the effort be
ing made by Great Ilritaiu to improve
the exchange situation and to keep
money rates in the New York market
favorable for borrowing purpose-.
