BISHOP HUGHES OF OREGON IN OMAHA PULPIT Says It Takes Much More Courage to Be a Firm Be liever Than a Half Hearted Doubter. "The time has come when even members of the christian church lay emphasis rather on what they do not believe, than upon what they do believe" declared Bishop Mat thew S. Hughes of Portland, Ore., who occupied th nulpit in the First Methodist chuicii Sunday morning. Bishop Hughes took for his text, the 17th verse of the 28th chapter of the book of Matthew: "And when they sawIim they worshipped Him but some doubted." In an eloquent and forceful sermon he deplored the fact that modern progress and "modern doubt" were tending to duv people away from the simple faith in the scriptures that was held by our fathers. Courage to be a Christian "The time has actually come when some of our half baked theo logians from some of our seminaries will tell you that there are some hymns that they do not give out to their congregations," said the bis hop. "We are living at a time when it takes ten times as much more courage to be a thorough-going be liever than it does to be a half heart ed doubter; at a time when a doubt er has a unique position. Some have even gone to the far extreme of doubting the existence of the doubt, and I have a boy' who is versed in modern slan;? who would probably say 'that is going some' The element of doubt is taught in our schools and sometimes it is preached in our pulpits." He told his congregation that progress and doubt could not go hand in hand, one must perish, the other prevail, that it is mely a problem in cause and effect so thoroughly demonstrated by the events of the last four years, and added: "Some think that the great war which is just ending was caused by a comet, but let me tell you a comet doesn't talk German or wear a steel helmet No Doubt in Science "We talk about the progress of science. My friends, do you know that the progress of science is al ways away from doubt and always towards the things we most need. Modern doubt has had an alliance with the conceit of human nature and if I am not mistaken this has" been its greatest help. We have a great many grown up people who think they are as they describe themselves (skeptical) due to their intellectual superiority and that their skepticism is the penalty they pay for their superior to other people. They pay the penalty with a great deal more enthusiasm than they do their income tax. "When any one is proud of his doubts and regards the skeptical tendencies of his mind as due to intellectual superiority it will be a good thing for him to realize that he might just as well be proud of a harelip or a club foot. Whenever you have a doubt it is not due to in tellectual superiority, but it is sure evidence that your mind has tackled a problem to which it was not equal." , Bishop Hughes, by a simple and wonderful delivery, has the faculty of holding his hearers with marked attention, and the First Methodist church felt fortunate in having him stop in Omaha while enroute from New York to his home in Portland, Ore., where he is in charge of the Pacific Northwest district of his church. He also occupied the same pulpit in the evening where a Victory ser vice was held in which the other Methodist churches of the city par ticipated, and at which the congre gation sang the soldier songs that the boys sing "over there." . Severe Wounds Cannot Stop Carrier Pigeons With the American Armies in France The courageiof the carrier pigeon is worthy of the "poilus" with whom it works. It requires a death wound to interrupt its mission. During the operations on the Marne July 15, a pigeon arrived at its motor dove cote competely ex hausted bearing a message of the greatest importance. Its claws had been carried away by a shell splinter. The information it brought enabled the staff to parry an important at tack. Many pigeons returned to their posts during the battle of Verdun wounded in the leg or head some of them with their bodies torn by pro jectiles. Two pigeons during that period carried seven important mes sages in bombardments that men could not get through. France has maintained through out the war a great advance over Germany in the installation of mov able dovecotes. It was in the French army that was first tried the experi ment of using carrier pigeons on the line of fire. Patient and pains taking efforts habituated the pigeons to the din of artillery hre and to the lite of the trenphes. "Flu" Wedding Solemnized . in Camp Funston Hospital Camp Funston, Kan.

Washington Congress seems at last about to make the Grand Can you of Arizona a national park. For years the canyon has been quite generally regarded as a park, but of ficially it is a section of two national forests, a game refuge and a national monument. "It has never been managed as a part of the park system, and has never been susceptible of develop ment as such," says the house public lands committee in reporting favor ably a senate bill that would dedi cate 950 square miles 6UjJ,UUU acres in northern Arizona as the Grand Canyon National park. "This mag nificent gorge should now take its place as a link in the national park chain which already includes most of the nation's wonderful and extra ordinary natural features." It was 32 years ago last January that the first bill to make the Grand Canyon a national park was intro duced in the senate by the late ex President Benjamin Harrison, then a senator from Indiana. Since then the proposal has been presented to congress from time to time. It appears that there never has been a valid objection advanced against it," declares Secretary Lane, in a statement favoring the project. Nor can such an objection be urged, because the Grand Canyon belongs to the federal government and any attempt to thwart a change in its status, which would distinctly re dound to its advantage, must be by some private interest. Private resources have accom plished limited developement. Thousands of tourists visit the can yon annually, but due to the lack of roads, trails and side-trip destina tions the throngs have little oppor tunity to enjoy in full measure the marvelous grandeur of the region. Less than 400 of the 600,000 acres that the proposed legislation would place in the park are now in private ownership, these being held in small parcels near the rim. Obvious ly, the greater part of the land lies within the enormous gulf, measuring at some points 20 miles across the top. Sufficient land is to be includ ed back of the north and south rims to make possible road development and to care for camping and hotel facilities. Two Days at Sea and Two Days in Port, Life of Destroyer Sailors On Board U. S. Destroyer, Amer ican Port in France, Nov. 9. (Cor respondence of Associated Press.) Two days at sea, two days in port; this is the sailor's life, week in and week out, day and night, in the con voy service of American destroyers which has achieved such marvelous results an army of 2,000,000 men landed in Europe with the loss of a few hundreds. The destroyer fleet was just back from the latest cruise as we went aboard today. They had brought in six big transports, including three former German liners. Already the soldiers were marching to camp, and on board the destroyers things were being made ship-shape for the brief stay in port, and then for the next adventure out beyond the capes, for with submarines off the port there is ceaseless vigilance, with always the chance of something happening, and every one on the tip-toe of ex pectation. The reports brought back of the last cruise were of the best. It had been comparatively quiet and the transports had been brought through without sign of a submarine. In fact, it was so promising the previous Sunday that the commander of the fleet remarked they were going to have a quiet day. But at 9 in the morning there was an alarm, with all the gun and tor pedo crews springing to their posts, and after that four successive alarms through this quiet day. though none of the alarms developed into an actual attack. It showed, however, the steady tension even when condi tions looked best, for it was known that hostile craft, had been lurking off the beach rocks near the mouth of the harbor and one of our bii? repair ships had been attacked as it came in a few weeks ago. On the big destroyers the crew is always on watch during a convoy. There are lookouts in the crow's nest high up on the foremast, far for ward at the tin of the bow, at port and starboard, forward and aft. Besides hese, there is the gun crew watch, the depth charpe watch, and the torpedo watch, alwavs on the qui vive for the sound of the bell which calls them into action. PEACE SERMONS PREACHED FROM OMAHA PULPITS Special Day of Thanksgiving and Heartfelt Prayers Go Up for Those Over seas. From practically all the pulpits in Omaha sermons were preached yes terday on the great topic that is occupying the attention of the world, Peace. It was a day of spe cial thanksgiving and heartfelt prayers went up from those whose sons and brothers and husbands are beyond the seas, prayers of thanks that the menace has been removed and loved ones soon will be wel comed back. "Praise Where Praise Is Due," was the morning topic of Rev. E. H. Jenks at the First Presbyterian church. He took as his text the words, "It is the Lord's doing and marvelous in our eyes." "Truly," he said, "it is the Lord's doing aud it is marvelous in our eyes. Praise is due first to Him. And then it is due to all other good people who have striven for this day, beginning with the men at the front who actually did the fighting and bore the burden and hardships of the campaign. We have all been instrumental in bringing about the result and those who have stayed at home because their duty lay here deserve just as much credit as those who did work more glorious, but no more necessary." At the First Methodist church in the evening there was a special vic tory service, Bishop Matthew S. Hughes of Portland, Ore., preaching the main sermon. Rev. Titus Lowe also spoke. Rev. J. W. Reynolds preached at the First Christian church, taking as his text, "Feace on Eearth, Good Will to Men." "These words were first uttered," he said, "when the great Prince of Peace came into the world. Today they are just as appropriate as they were then. Teace which seemed to have departed from this unhappy world seems now to be here again. We knew our cause was just and now we see how wonderfully God has defeated the machinations of wicked men who sought to reduce the world to subjection, and has given victory to the forces of right eousness. May the same God grant that we will use our advantages now to reconstruct the world so that it shall be forever safe from the tur moil through which it has just passed." Rev. C. B. Harmon, pastor of the Lutheran Church of Our Redeem er, preached on "The Lord Reign eth, Let the Earth Rejoice." "The bringing of the great war to a victorious end is proof that the Lord reigns," he said. "He has sent us through the hot fires in which we have been tested and puri fied as the gold in the furnace. To day our opportunities for good are greater than they have ever been before. The victory won, we can, through justice, bring about such an era of prosperity and brother hood as the world has never seen before. May we make proper use of our opportunity." "Shall We Have Permanent Peace?" was the topic of Rev. W. O. Anderson at Calvary Baptist church. We shall have permanent peace if we take steps to build up the world and not merely to take re venge upon our enemies, he said.

It was thought here the ship was, damaged in the hurricane which swept this coast the last 24 hours.''' British Warship Reported 'i as Having Sunk at Sea Baltimore. Mr., Nov. 17. Al-1 though no official report of the sink- ing of II. M. S. Cantina has been made by the British admiralty, news of it was received here today in a cablegram from Lt. G. F. Sander son of the British navy to his par ents. He also stated that a num-1 her of men went down with the ship. "Peace is God's will and war comes only when some large body of per sons violates God's laws. Whether we shall have permanent peace or not depends upon ourselves. We must act as God would have us act, according to his laws. Then war will be forever banished from the face of the globe." In one church the morning ser mon was preached in German. Not only the sermons but also in the prayers and hymns the univer sal rejoicing over the return of peace was reflected. Conscientious Objectors Get 25 Years at Hard Labor Camp Funston, Kan. Twenty five years at hard labor in prison is the portion doled out to six con scientious objectors who have been in camp here for some time, and have refused to take any part in military training. At that, the sen tence is better than the courtmar tial which tried them thought they ought to have. The penalty it fixed was life imprisonment, but this was minimized by General Wood to 25 years. A distinction is recognized among conscientious objectors. Exemption is granted the bona-fide conscien tious objector provided he belongs to a well-known religious faith which opposes warfare on the grounds of its belief against man killing his fellowmen. But it has been shown here, that some sought exemption when they were called as soldiers, by suddenly becoming con scientious objectors. The men con victed here will be taken to Fort Leavenworth to serve their terms. They are: Fred Uron, Hyman Block. E. W. Thomas, Jake Canovaloff, Philip Laruvitz and Juailn Dom- browski.
