The church originaliy subscribed
88,712,000. to start the church pen-
sion fund and to insure pension pro-
tection to clergymen already in olfice.
The fund now embraces 8.000 par-
tubes and missions and more than
5.000 clergymen. .
or the total resources of the fund.
$1,600,000 has been invested by the
treasurer, J. Pierpont Morgan, in sec-
ond. third and fourth Liberty Bonds.
The pension grants in force at the
end of the fiscal year covered by the
first annual report amount to 8275.-
465.06. Monell Sayre. secretary and
manager of the fund. points out in
[his report that the assessments paid
into the fund during the first tyio
years Were 98.6 per cent. of all pos-
sible payments. This, he says. is
probably unprecedented in pension
experience in a system where there,
is no legal compulsion to pay the as-
SPSSI‘DOHIS.
The original subscription of $8.-
712.000 has been paid in to the ex-
tent of $6,414,209.63. The balance
falls due up to 1922, With the as-
sessments the total resources of tie
fund actually on hand amount to
$8,444,181.67.
Three million dollars have been set
aside to effect mergers with other
church relief funds in order to cen- ‘
tralize this. work and eliminate fur-
ther demands upon the. church for
relief for clcreymen and {heir famil-
ies.

The assistance of the Y.M.C.A. or

liberal spirit without any sugges-

One of the most prized tradi-

—the famous "Go to hell" of Lieut-
tfol. Charles W, Whittlescy, of the
“Lost Battalion." in reply to the
German demand for surrender.
The message which thrilled the
world when the story of the “Lost

This survivor, blindfolded and

was led to a point near the left
that of the battalion. One of
Whittlescy'a men crawled through
the underbrush. found the prisoner
and guided him back to his com-
rades. The note was taken to Col.
Whittlesey. In effect. it is said
that the battalion. which had been

because it would help indicate the
position of the battalion. So the
boys simply dug themselves in and
hung on. ~
In two days. more than 1.000 cas-
ualties resulted from‘the attempts
to rescue the battalion. Burrow:
says. The troops had to mate all
their dashes by night. and the only
route by which they could approach
the advance position was up a
winding ravine in which the tier.
mans had built a narrow glaze
track. The enemy kept this ravine
under constant tire. and the casual-
iim among the relief squads were
heavy. .
When the battalion finally was
rescued, Burrows and Blair, who
had moved up their supplies, had
hot drinks: and cigarettes for the
(00 survivors as they were brought
back into the liars and helped give
first aid to the wounded and get
them back to the dressing station.
