Nearly Overcome By Gas
Monday niorninK about 3 o'clock Officer Fedden heard calls in the Olive building and on investigation found several women had discovered that Myron Kernan and Bernard Lyard were lying in bed unconscious. The gas had been accidentally turned on and if it had not been for the smell and timely discovery they would have suffocated. Dr. Runcie was sum¬ moned, and after working over the two men for an hour brought them around. IB«liaiMitaMi«ii«Milkl>ata»«MK

Luther League Meets
At Freeport
(Special Contributor)
The Spring Convention of the Brooklyn and Long Island District Luther League was held in the Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church of Free- port on Saturday, June 16.
It was a most successful meeting The church was crowded to its doors. From the spiritual side it afforded much thought, and in this connection it was perhaps the best of any con¬ vention yet held. The feature of the afternoon session was the topic, "The Devotional Meeting," presented by Rev M. J. Bieber, who was assisted by Clarence C. Dittmer. Splendidly prepared papers were read and a lively discussion followed. Rev. Mr. Bieber showed in a practical way how a devotional meeting should be prepared and carried out successfully.
A delicious luncheon was served by the local League in a nearby hall, at ¦which time Rev. Mr. Bieber and Rev. H. S. Wasmund presented splendid addresses.
Rev. H. C. Wasmund inspired those present at the evening service with a startling address on "What if the Re¬ formation Had Not Been." He point¬ ed out, among other things, that with¬ out the Reformation or a similar movement we would not today enjoy an open Bible nor the gift of preach¬ ing and singing of hymns, nor the right conception of prayer. Nor ¦would, we have liberty of speech or pres.s we hold so dear.
The banner for the largest repre¬ sentation was presented to the Church of the Messiah.
(From Brooklyn Times) F'reeport  never  witnesed   a  pretti¬ er  patriotic  service than  the  annual flag service Sunday of Freeport Lodge of Elks.   The auditorium of the club | j^g Home Defense organization to fill the vacancy caused by house was one m-iss of national col-1

er,  chairman   of  the   Home   Defense Committee of  Nassau  County.
Mustering in of several thousand members of Home Defense organiza¬ tions has been held up because of the fear that such units were to be ord¬ ered to replace guardsmen now on duty guarding important railroad structures, munition plants and the like, and Governor Whitman's assur ances to Mr. Crocker are expected to have the efTect of bringing member¬ ship of the Home Defen.se Corps up to nearly 20,000 within a short time The present strength of the twenty seven organizations mustered in is i79G. ^r. Crocker asked the Gover¬ nor for a ruling on the matter.
Governor Whitman's reply ealled attention to the fact that while under the authority vested in him by the Consitution he could call upon all men between'the ages of IH and 45 for whatever duty he saw tit. "I have no intention of issuing any orders whicli will require the members of the Home Defense Corps to do police duty outside of their home locality.
"It is doubtful if I could over-esti mate the value of the services such organizations as your Home Defense Corps can afford the State at this time," he said. "On or about July 15, all the National Guard units of the State go over into the Federal service. It becomes necessary for the State to supply a military force to take the place of the departing Na¬ tional Guard. We look to the County corps to carry out at least a portion of this work. Within their locali ties I do look to them to protect prop erty, private and public, and to main tain order, and I am confident that they will do so.
"It should be clearly understood, however, that in case of an emergen cy, riot or insurrection anywhere ii the State, I shall order such units of whatever military force exists within the State, including the Home De¬ fense Corps, as may appear neces¬ sary, to proceed at once to that local¬ ity and to assist in suppressing such disorder. You will of course bear in mind that the State law vests in the Governor the right to do this in any case; that is to say, to order out such numbers of the male citizens of the State between the ages of 18 and 45 as in his opinion may be necessary, whether these men happen to be in a Home Defense Corps or not.
"You can rest assured, however, that no such order will be issued un¬ less a critical situation requires it, and then only on the request of the proper authority of the locality in which the disturbance occurs."
