January 1st, 1870, he was united
in marriage to Hannah Lyon. About
1SS5 they moved to Nebraska.

Having been chosen of God thru
the Hudson church to preach the '
Gospel, he became quite active in his
sacred calling, his new field of labor
being on the frontier where he had
his full share of the varied experi-J
ences of the pioneer preacher. His
faithful companion shared the labor,
of increased home duties on account
of his absence while he was travel-
ing over the sparsely settled coun-,
try declaring the good news of Sal-
vation and proved a real helpmate :
to her husband. I
Probably most of us of the pres-l
ent age fail to appreciate the work
of the pioneer preacher who was in-,
strumental in planting churches and
holding up the banner of our King
Ixnmanuel.
About twenty-five years ago Mr.
Snavely retired from the farm, : but
still continued active work in the
ministry until failing health prevent
ed further activity.
The home of Brother and Si6ter
Snavely has been blessed with four
children Oscar, Lee. Charley and
Edith. Th first named was called
to his reward a few years ago. The
others, together with the wife, two
brothers and nine grandchildren, as
well as a host of friends, remain to
share the sorrow caused by his
passing.
Funeral services were held in the
Brethren church in Alvo, conducted
by Brother M. E. Stair, assisted by
Brother J. R. Smith, of Lincoln.
M. E. Church Notes
The male quartet has sure been
getting in some long hours and fre
quent practices lately, preparing for
the various social functions of the
church. One of the latest acquire
ments is put on by our big bass sing
er, Elbert Taylor, who professes to
have an experience in the art of fall
ing a distance of 30 feet in an ele
vator. Anyone anxious to learn this
stunt may get a few points from
Brother Taylor upon inquiry.

to when or how diplomatic exchanges
of such a nature had been transmit
ted.
Ambassadors of the allied coun
tries here, including the French and
American ambassadors in Europe
were promptly informed by the
state department of the order. A
cable message from the war depart
ment to Major General Allen, com
manding the American army of oc
cupation, gave him preliminary in
structions to prepare for withdraw
al, while orders also were issued for
the transport St. Mihiel to sail from
New York Friday. She will pick up
about forty officers and more than
1,000 men comprising the American
force on the Rhine, either at Ham
burg or Bremen, as General Allen
elects.
Only Details Left
Actual movement of the troops
from Coblenz, it was said, would be
gin Just in time for them to embark
directly from trains. The only Amer
ican military units left behind will
be detachments to complete disposi
tion of stores and property not brot
home and those In charge of graves
registration activities. Some of Gen
eral Allen's staff officers will come
by passenger ships, as the St. Miheil
cannot accommodate all.
Detailed orders to General Allen
went forward last night by mail
Today's cable message was in the na
ture of a preliminary advice upon
which he can take immediate action.
At the outset it said:
"The president has decided to re
turn to the United States immediate
ly all troops of your command, ex
cept graves registration service.
"The St. Mihiel, making one trip
only, will be dispatched from New
York about January 12 to Bremen
or Hamburg. Cable which you want
"You will utilize the maximum ca
pacity of this vessel for carrying per
sonnel and all freight except officers
mounts. Excess supplies will be dis
posed of in accordance with law .aad
regulations. Excess personnel will
be transported on commercial liner
to New York, arrangements to be
made by j-ou."
After informing General Allen
that detailed instructions had been
mailed to him. the message said the
St. Mihiel would first proceed to Sa
vannah. Ga., then to Charleston, S.
C, and finally to New York. At each
port units will disembark. .
Foch to Control Area
The Coblenz area, which has been
under American command ever since
the German army withdrew from the
bridgehead zone on the Rhine, under
terms, presumably will pass back to
the custody of Marshal Foch, as al
lied supreme commander in charge
of the enforcement of armistice con
ditions. The American zone is held still
under the armistice, as the United
States is not a party to the treaty
of Versailles, which gave more per
manent status to other forces of oc
cupation. FINDS IMPROVEMENT IN

DRAG SKELETON
. OUT OF CLOSET
Hollywood Fulls Spectre Into Full
View and Feels Better for It.
Fighting Dope Eing.
Los Angeles, Jan. 12. Hollywood
started the New Year by having its
skeleton in the closet the dope evil
dragged out into full view
And Hollywood has heaved a sigh
of relief. Stars and producers alike
have been on edge for months, fear
ing that every rattle of the skeleton
meant utter ruin to the industry.
Now that the worst is known, all
concerned are working openly to
stamp out the evil.
Following the revelation of Wal
lace Reid's condition, given to the
world by his wife, the names of
three other movie stars who are, or
have been, in the same predicament,
have become more or less public prop-
lerty. Two of the actresses are de
clared to have taken the cure.
Several names were revealed in
raids on the "dope" sanitarium of
"Dr." John Scott Barker and his as
sociate, "Dr." Charles Blessing, in
Lios Angeles. One of these names
has already found Its way into the
public print, and the other two
threaten to follow. Names of two
big directors are also connected by
rumor with the present cleanup, al
though nothing official In regard to
them has come to light yet.
The "dope" spectre first stared
Hollywood in the face at the time of
the William Desmond Taylor mur
der last year. Taylor was reported
to have been attempting to stamp
out the evil in order to prevent cer
tain stars, one of whom was ques
tioned several times in connection
with the case, from agents at the
