" waste nothing v .. o A large audience was present last night in the auditorium ot the Cen tral school to hear the annual ser mon before the pupils of the city public schools by Rev. Dr. J. C. Gal loway, pastor of the First Associate Reformed Presbyterian church. Bas ing his sermon on the 12th chapter of Luke, wherein is recorded the sto ry of the rich man who pulled down his barns and built greater ones in order to house his abundance of earthly goods and of whom the Lord required on that selfsame night his soul, Dr. Galloway took as his theme the superiority of opportunities over mere material things. The speaker pointed out In a most forcible man ner the fact that the possession of things is an insignificant matter as compared with the utilization of op portunites for doing good and ad vancing the Interests and the better nient of humanity. He brought forth many examples of men whose lives shine out on the pages of history be cause they refused to devote their time and talents to the accumulation of earthly goods and turned their en ergies toward the doing of great deeds as opportunities arose lie drew impressive losoons on this line from the lives of Saint i'aul, Martin Luther, David Livingston, Adoniram Judson and other men who have been great benefactors of humanity The sermon was a most timely and appropriate one and was heard with great pleasure and profit by the con gregation.. ionignt tne undergraduate exer cises will be held; tomorrow night the class exercises and on Wednes day night the graduating exercises.

General Pershing personally commanded the recent American advance resulting in the capture of Cantlgny, with heavy German losses. This was told the Senate Military Affairs Commit tee at the weekly conference with the war council today. The situation on the Western front is regarded as materially improved. Not only are the Germans halted everywhere, but the Allies have made substantial gains. It is generally felt that the Allies are now strong enough, to hold the German advance. One serious menace,, however. Is that the recent German drive brought the German artillery dangerously close to the French ordnance plants north of Par is. Troops movement has lessened somewhat since June the first on ac count of the inablity of supply ships to keep up the rapid space. The two picric acid plants to be built at Little Rock, Ark., and Bruns wick, Ga., contracts for which have been completed-by the War Depart ment, will cost approximately ' $7, 000,000. . .
