Members of Company F. 144th In-

wprk of raising a mess fund for us*
when the company goes Into the an-

u*t 5 to 17. according to Capt. H. E.
Roberts. The aurn of 11,500 in desir-

All the companies who attend the
encampment have mess funds rais-
ed In their borne towns which pro-
vide better food for the men dur-
ing the two weeks. Roberta said.
East year the Denton Company had
no fund and consequently had much
less to eat than most of the soldiers.
The government allows only _26c per
day for food for each man. which is
not sufficient to feed them proper-
ly, it was stated, and for this rea-
son the company's have mesa funds
of their own to supplement the food
allowance.

Applications for the testing of
some 25 more herds outside the

will be tested at a later date. Herds
outside the city from which milk
Is not sold in the city are not af-

owners are taking advantage ot
the opportunity to get their herds
tested for the purpose of eliminat-
ing any Infected animals while
they can get Indemnity on them
and for the protection of them-
selves and others using the milk.
Many more cattle owners outside
the cltv have applied for the tests
than was expected.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.. May 21 —
Actions of (he bills and overtures
committee of the Presbyterian Gen-
eral Assembly on the Fosdick case
wa* awaited with anxiety among all
commissioner* to the conclave to-
day.
There was a general desire to get
the question seltled by both the
liberalist*, who will strenuously op-
pose any drastic action against Dr.
Harry Emerson Fosdick, pastor of
the First Presbyterian Church of
New York City, kn dthe ultra-cOn-
servatlves who wish to see him
■properly censored" for his utter-
ances.
A resolution from the Philadel-
phia, Presbytery asking that the
General Assembly take formal no-
lle* of the preachings of Dr. Fo«-
dlck und Instruct the New York
Presbytery to see that only "ortho-
dox sermon*," be given from the pul-
pits of New York, has been before
the committee since the Assembly
convened, but definite action was
delayed pending alignment of the
conservative and liberal elements
of tho committee. Settlement of the
Fosdick cnse, delegates believe, will
clarify the at mosphere of the As-
sembly. and allow the comnil**lon-
ers to give their undivided atten-
tion to other questions. William
Jennings Bryan, outstanding leader
of the ultra-conservatives, brought
thousands to their feet when he de-
nounced the ‘'commercialisation ot
the Sabbath by men greedy for
goltl."
The meeting unanimously approv-
ed a resolution presented by Bryan
demanding that every Presbyterian
minister and student nnd leaehers
In the sectarian schools
pledge of total abstinence.
