By the Associated Press. emphasized with added significance here tomorrow, when Prof. Oscar J. P. Wetklo, former captain in the im- perial German army, is ordained to the priesthood of the Protestant Epls- copal Church at St. James, here. ‘The rector of the church, Rev. Otis E.

And_meanwhile, they ask, why not lessen the risk of contagion by extermi- nating the fox?
