This eastern portion of Cuba is one

the center for three such railways.
The most eastern of the Cuban rail
roads was the line running from the
town of Guantanamo south to the sea-
port La Caimanera, a distance of ten
miles, and north to Jamaica. six miles

American war. the need of trunk line
from one end of Cuba to the other

year of the close of the war, route
was surveyed from Santiago 400 miles

SN3&I considered most desirable
IS They were approved, after

naval station in the West Indies, is To-
Gated on the south coast of Cuba; Ba-

far from Havana.
Guantanamo bay cuts into the south
ern coast of the east end of Cuba, a
portion of the island that presents a
somewhat rugged character, a feature
of the ruggedness being series of
abrupt terraces rising to a height of
600 feet and more. The narrow noun
tain range, the Sierra Maestro. ex-
tends from Guantanamo almost direct
ly west to Cape Cruz. The Sierra
Maestro, which is very precipitous,
closely follows the coast line. One
peak, the Pico del Turquino, attains a
height of 5000 feet, and other peaks
of the range reach to $500 and 5000
feet. The mountains, wooded from
base to summit, are of indescribable
beauty.
The unique combination of tropical
foliage with rugged landscape features
gives Guantanamo setting most I'M
usual. Lime and lemon groves abound
in the coast country; the bay is beau
tiful, and the attractiveness of the
mountains we have just referred to.

Grand Jury Rsumes Its Work After Returning 63 Peonage Indict-
 ments-Investigating Coun-
 ties Closer to Montgomery

Persons charged with peonage by the United States Government will be tried at the June term of the District Court
 District Attorney Warren S. Reese mo- tifed Robert N. Franklin and F. M Pruet of Coosa County. and J. W. Pace J. F. Turner and G. D. Cosby of Tal- lapoosa, who have been arrested and made bond, to be present in Montgomery on Monday. June ?, when their cases will be set for trial
 By the time these defendants are ar raigned 1t is believed that the Govern ment will have a score or more of white men in custody under the charge of peonage holding negroes in servitude.
 The Federal grand jury. which resumed its work yesterday. has returned a total of sixty-three indictments charging peon- age. It is believed that the defendants in each of these cases resides in Talla- poosa or Coosa counties, but the search light of the grand jury is to be turned on other counties of the State.
 Of the sixty-three indictments returned only five arrests have followed It must be bcrne in mind that several indictments may have been returned against one per- son. At any rate many arrests are yet to be made in Tallapoosa and Coosa counties and officers who are in those counties are expected to reach Montgom- cry today and tomorrow with prisoners.
 It Is believed that the sixty three in- dictments returned by the grand jury represents the completion of its investisa- tions as to Tallapoosa and Coosa counties and that yesterday 1t began investiga- tions of counties closer to Montgomery.
 This belief is based upon the number of persons about the Federal Building yesterday who reside in counties adjacent to Montgomery.

 There are two theories of life and success upon which men can act. One theory is that we are to strive to get out of the world as much as we can for ourselves. The other theory Is to do as much as we can for the world. The lat ter is the idea of the Kingdom of God.
 ''In the actual conduct of life these two theories are so intermingled in the soul that 1t Is often hard to say which is dom inant. The occasion which called forth the text from our Savior was a display of ambition by his trusted apostles. James and John. They asked for the two highest places in the earthly king dom.
