Methodists to Begin Big
Financial Drive Today
'(Bjr International New Service.)
New York, May 17. With their
goal 140,000,000 for human better
ment, the greatest amount any de
nomination ever attempted to raise
in the history of the world,. Metho
dist Episcopal churches throughout
the United States will begin tomor
row a spectacular one-week inten
sive financial drive.
They are trying to achieve the
financial objects of their Missionary
Centenary by employing all the
methods, of a Liberty Loan cam
paignnewspaper advertising and
publicity, bill boards, special, pam
phlets, dinners and the rivalry be
tween localities and individual
churches, each striving to show an
oversubscription. 1 '
The counjxy has been diyided and
subdivided into areas, conferences,
districts and sub-districts and the
individual churches are also organ
ized into several units. To each di
vision, down to the individual
churches, a definite quota has been
assigned.
That the drive is bound to be a
signal success is the deduction
drawn by leaders at Centenary
headquarters here from a flood of
letters and telegrams showing
about two thousand churches al
ready have exceeded their allotment
and are pushing on for 100 per cenf
oversubscription.
Teams of workers carefully or
ganized and drilled by C. S. Ward,
campaign manager for many v re
cent war,- fund ' activities,' will pre
sent the Centenary message to ev
ery member of the church next
week. In each city the teams .will
meet together once a day for lunch
eon or dinner,, exchange reports and
get inspiration from speeches and
music.
The movement is foundedon the
belief that the world today is at
one of the crucial points of its his
tory, and that the war has awakened
mankind, but left it confused and
likely to follow false prophets, and
that a remarkable opportunity for the
play of either good or evil forces is'
open in every land, in this crisis the
leaders' of the movement' declare
Christianity should take a strong
stand and make unusual efforts to
supply the guidance.
But the work to be undertaken
with the Centenary fund will be
largely of a most practical charac
ter. Among the multitude of enter
prises decided upon are the adop
tion of twelve French towns on (the
Chateau-Thierry battlefield for re
construction, a series of recreation
centers like the Y. M. C. A. huts
but of a more permanent nature, in
war-torn France and Italy, hospitals
for the cannibal tribes in Africa and
Mohammedans of Malaysia, a large
agricultural station to teach Ameri
can methods of farming in southern
Italy and an even larger institution
of the same character in Chile; com
munity churches in many American
cities and an intensification of all
the activities to improve the tone of
American lite, so as to .make the
United States the "model Christian
nation.
Ah interesting feature of the drive
is the attempt to enlist one million
Methodists as tithers, or persons
who . promise to give one-tenth of
their income to help their fellow
men. So far, well over 125,000 men,
women and young folks have signed
this pledge and the gold cards nave
poured into the . Centenary offices
here so fast that the tabulation is
tar behind. -
Fifty-three thousand young men
and women are being recruited
from colleges and schools. This ar
my corps will be especially trained
to serve in the enterprises of the
church as enlarged by the Centen
ary. On the intelligence and per
sonality of the leaders developed, ac
cording to th heads of the Centen
ary, will depend the success of the
movement as much as ., on the
amount of money raised.
Name Whole Tpwn for
Marines Is Opinion
Of Young Devil Dog
Brest, France,' May 17. He was a
United States marine, Just arrived
in France as a relief for one of the
men who had been discharged upon
condition of relief. He did not know
French, and he wasn't aware of the
fact that everything in a seacoast
town like Brest is named after the
sea, which, of course, is "demarine."
Therefore, when he walked along
- .
With Electric Starter and Lights, and
on Pneumatic Tires This Reb "Speed
Wagon" was the Forerunner of its Type
IN 1915 WHEN this Reo "Speed Wagon" was first
introduced, those features electric starter, electric
lights and pneumatic tires constituted a liability.
TODAY, THEY ARE its greatest asset.
THEN, REO DEALERS said that the one "sales re-
sistance" was the reluctance of buyers to "experi
; ment with pneumatics on a truck."
NOW, THOSE SAME dealers say that it is mainly
because of these features that this Reo enjoys such
a tremendous popularity and demand.
THEN, THERE WERE only a few Reo "Speed
Wagons" in hands of a few daring owners.
NOW, MORE THAN 20,000 in hands of the most
conservative and critical class of customers.
THEN, THERE WAS a fear of "punctures and blow
outs." NO W, THOSE bugbears are forgotten in the light of
the great proven efficiency and economy of this
Reo.
THEN, THE AVERAGE buyer considered an elec
tric starter a non-essential and electric lights
superfluous.
NOW, HE WOULD as soon buy a "street starting"
automobile with kerosene lamps, as a motor truck
of that obsolete type.
THEN, ONLY THE REO engineers appreciated the
superiority the greater efficiency, speed, economy
and lower upkeep of a truck mounted on pneu
matics. NOW, RIVAL ENGINEERS are copying this Reo
as closely as they can.
THEN,ONLY DRIVERS knew the saving of time
and fuel and motor wear effected by the electric
starter. k
NOW, THE OWNER knows even better through'
his cost accountant. . '
NOR NEED WE NOW show how the working day
is lengthened and the radius increased by the electric
lighting system for that, too, is patent.
AGAIN, IS REO "conservative progressiveness'
justified.
AGAIN, IS THE LEADERSHIP of Reo shown
and by imitation, that sincerest form of flattery
is the leadership of Reo design and the soundness of
Reo engineering proven.

eyes began to open wider and wider.
Here was the Brasserie de la Ma
rine, here the Patisserie de la Ma
rine, the Cafe de la Marine and
everything else that possibly could
carry the affix "de la Marine." Long
the "Devil Dog" looked. 4 Then he
scratched his head. ,
"Gosh I" he murmured. "I alawys

neyer had any idea they'd make such
a hit as this. By golly, they've named
