I MEDICAL UNIT
HOLDS OPPORTUNITY.
A fine opportunity for Bervlct Is of
ierd the young men of Ogden and Its
vicinity in the organization of the med
ical unit for the I'tnh national guard
here. There are to be 4o men in this
unit. The attractiveness of service in
this branch has been set fortli so
strongly by those organizing the unit
that already many young men have
enlisted, and only a handful is needed
to brin? the unit to the desired
strength.
The young men of the unit are as
sured the genuine interest of the Unit
ed States war department. The new
armory to be built here will offer them
the facilitcs of a good club and a
first class gymnasium. The govern
ment is to provide $150.0"0 worth of
equipment. Under the new army plan
State troops are federalized. A train
ing trip lo American Lake is to be
theirs. A military band la to be or
ganixed the government providing the
instruments and director. And then
there Is the splendid training in medl
cal work to be gained from an enlist- ,
ment.
Boys of high school age nre eligible
(dr membership in this unit It would :
seem that the opportunities offered
deserve of study by the young men!

I SPIES IN THE
i AMERICAN ARMY
. .Somewhat disconcert inu is !; on
,? fession of John Willers former eap-
.31 tain of Company 1, Forty eighth Unit
"i ed States infantry. He was a desert
i -r and, when captured on Tuesday,
J admitted he was u spy one of 305
cadets sent to this country by Ger
J many to betray the American forces
'3 in action
'4 Willers claims that Germany was
i successful in placing man;. pier in
' bigh office in Washington and keep
!j ing them there during ihe war.
There may be a little coloring to the
man's statement, but it was evident
-If during the conflict again?' the Teutons
g that treacherous men had worked their
M way Into the American camp and by
1 virtue, of that condition, it was neces-
sary for the government to take strln-
'ij gent measures to check up on the plot
jj ters. Some of our good people object-
Jj ed to the rigid rules applied and
';-! howled themselves hoarse in an ef
.3 fort to lift the restrictions, but this
-Jt disclosure by Willers proves this couu
iry was none too exacting In its at-
S lempts to keep down the work of the
spy and the disloyal.
.9 Reports from the battle zone were
?M to the effect that more than ono of-
$M ficer was found to be serving the one
my and a number of them were killed
... fW by their own men when their plant
Vffl were disclosed.
9 To a civilian, this method of under
mining a military organization seems
. too devilish to be resorted to by human
'KB beings, and yet it is a regular prac-
73 tlce employed by all military estab-
J9 llsbments. The Americans had in-
J9 formers In Germany and the British
must have had spies In the higher cir-
1 cles of the German navy as they had a
M complete record of nearly every sub-
KWM marine that left the coast of Germany
afl during the most critical period of un-
iPrafl dersca warfare
JfM In Europe, where the game of es-
H pionage hss been played with great'
est finesse, whole families have moved
I n
imo loreign countries, become a pari
of ihelr new environment, carrying
from father to son the secret of their
mission, which has been lo serve ihetr
fatherland In ihe time of need, and, by 1
, being assisted financially and social
ly, they have be.n able to reach high
Istatlon and gain access to the inner
jmost circles and even the war ar-
' chives.
I
America, because of our loosely held I
together governmental department, Is I
an invitinc field for the clever spies
of the old world.

;the church in the
! united states
A most remarkable admission is
made b Miss Berths "oude. secrctaiy
! of the national board of the Younq
Women's Christian Association Half
ot the people Of i lie Uni'ed States are
I pagans. sh declares, "Firty-three mil
; lions are neither Catholic. Protestan
nor Jewish, and the number is grow-1
ing." says Miss Conde. "Many women
of today have the religion of their
grandmothers without the faith which
gave life and rtrengfh to that reli
gion. The children of these women re- j
ceive practically no religion from the
'mothers. Women must realize that re-
jliglnn is a living part of their daily
life, not a tradition of the past"
For years it has been evident that
the people are drifting toward a dis
regard for the duties of church There
are so many other attractions thai
men and women are findinc out of the
church for their entertainments.
I amusements and philosophies
But it would he a day of misfortune
when the churches ceased to exert!
their fine moral influences over the
American people So long as the homo
fails to function as it should, the
church must be relied on to give to the
young people Ihe precepts of right liv
ing. Older people are not so serious
ly afflicted as children, if they fall to ;
keep to the faith In this easy going
land of ours, with its conflicting emo-
tions and strong appeal to the world
ly, there is necessity for the preaching
of the rules of right conduct. If
churches were lo dlsappenr. what
grent guide would direct humanity
away from the pitfalls aleng the path
way of life?
There is nothing that grips so firm
ly as faith in a religion and without
ithat faith much of good iu the world
lis lost.

PRESIDENT-ELECT
IS MOST TACTFUL.
There Is much that is affable and
wholesome in President elect Harding.
I During the session of the senate yes
terday, the senattor was called on to
address his colleagues, and he made a
i speech ot good will t'.nd fellowship,
i which disclosed tact and wisdom.
( Going into office, with the greatest
majority ever given a president. Mr
Harding promises to retain his popu
larity by consulting not only those
near to him politically, but all ele
ments for good entering into public at-
fairs. He beein by winning even tjv
esteem of the Democrats and. If h
persists in this harmonizing way, his j
term of office should brine him a
greater measure of success, as judged
I by popular approval, ihr.n has been
corded to any president of late years.

CHRISTMAS CLUB
PLAN ISPOPULAR
More Than Hundred Million to
Be Distributed for Holi
day Expenses
During the coming week, some 3 -(t00.
000 persons throughout the United
j States will receive approximately
$1 10,000,000 in the distribution of
I Christmas Club funds. More than
! 000 bank? hive heeV. conducting
.Christmas clubs during the year, and
after 00 weeks of steady payment, the
members will receive what they have
I paid In.
Mr Herbert F Rawll, president of
the Christmas club corporation when
recently Interview at the offtee of
the company at .11 Chambers street,
New York City stated that, statistics
complied during the year by their or
ganlsatlon, showed that this disburse
I ment is distributed throughout the
'I'nliert States, approximately as fol
I lows:
England states... $14,700,000.00
Southern states R, 300.00 no
Eastern states 32,400000.00
Middle states . . . . ... 26.700.00.00
Western state.-', 18.300,000.00
Paelfle states 9,200,000.00
The Christmas club plan has been
In existence for 12 years. At first,
there were very few banks who under
took this unique form of saving, bul
tbe Idea caught On and spread very j
rapidly.
INTER E s r I G SI D Eld 0 HT
Mr Rawll gives very interesting
sidelight on the psychology of thia
method of saving in his following
statement :
"When this plan Was first Introduc-j
led It met considerable opposition from
many of the banking fraternity, on the
'srottnd that a system of educating and'
encouraging people to save money to
P"iil v.is a wrong principle
"The growth and results of the plan
. within tlie last few years has demon
started the fallacy of this conclusion.!
"The popular appeal of the Christ-'
mas club Is on account of the safe
guard it offers against human frailty, i
! "'It presents n unique method by
which the people can save a small
amount each week, which cannot hc
withdraw n until the e nd of the club i
term 'wo weeks before Christmas.
PAYMENTS SMALL
People who save money in the
Christmas club, would never save this
amount in any other wa and thej
vveeklv payments are ;o small as to
! be hardly noticed by the average In
dividual The result has been that
the Christmns club has demonstrated
to thousands of people, that, if they
can systematically save in thia man
ner, they can systematically save for
Investment
i "All of this money is not spent dur
' ing the holiday season. Thousand of
Illustrations have been brought to our
ittentlon where members have started
permanent bank accounts v. 1th part ot
I the Cbrlvtmas club accumulation and
these accounts have thereafter boon
substantial! v increased.
"During the Liberty loan campaign,
a good part of the machinery of our
, organization was turned over to the
; government. Over $700,000,000 worth
jof Liberty bonds were sold under the
Christmas club Partial plan. In New
York City alone, a syndicate of hank"
underwrote Sino.ooo.ooo worth of s
