GIBBONS FOR TEMPERANCE.
Cardinal Says Use Of Liquor in Moder-
alton Not to Be Condemned.

BALTIMORE, October LIN a striking
sermon Sunday morning at ST. Charles
catholic Church. Pkesville, Cardinal Glib
bons asked eightyfour boys, whom he had
confirmed. to take the pledge of abstinence
from liquor until they were twenty-one
years old. In the course of his address
at high mass the cardinal referred incl
dentally to the stand taken by the Catholic
Church on the use of drink Speaking of
the subject yesterday he said:
The church Is not fanaticaI on the SUBJ
Ject of liquor. but teaches moderation Her
path Is not one of rigor. nor yet of laxity
but the middle course-the golden mean
The use or liquor in moderation is not to
abuse. then it should not be used at ALL
"Our Lord was present at banquets,
where wine was used, and changed water
into wine. and by His presence sanctione
the use in moderate quantities. 1 cannot
too strongly applaud those who denounce
the vice of incompetence. 1t blasts the
flower of youth. undermines the constitu-
ton and renders it's votaries degraded
member OF society.
MY experience of more than fifty years
in the ministry has been a daily witness of
the baneful effects and has left sad impress
sions. The abuse of the use is written on
the records of society and of the indi-
vidual"
When asked about the efforts of those
who advocate total abstinence Cardinal
Gibbons declared that their work was
worthy of praise.
But" he said, I'VE must take men as
they are and moderate use of liquor has
never been condemned by the church.

GUN DEFENsEs.
Annual Report Of Gen. Murray, Chief
of Artillery.

The maximum number of enlisted men
now authorized for the gun defenses of the
country is 1i.351. and that is 1850 short of
one-half of one complete manning detail for
the guns already mounted in the United
States The remaining half of one COM
plete manning detail required to place the
coast defense a proper war footing car
be provided, 1t is believed at comparatively
small annual cost in time of peace If the
coast states will organize CORDS of militia
coast artillery. having the same organiza-
ton as the regular coast artillery. These
statements are made by Brig Gen Arthur
Murray. chief of artillery of the army in
his annual report The state coast attiI-
lery corps could be assigned he says, to
the batteries which are in excess of those
manned by the regular coast artillery-a be-
lief confirmed by recent performances Of
the organized militia of the coast states
which participated during the summer in
joint coast defense exercises with regular
coast artillery. He recommends an annual
appropriation for calling yearly the
militia coast artillery serves and the
militia coast artillery supports to the col
ors In joint army and militia exercises.
The Importance of the early consideration
of some method of obtaining the trained
personnel necessary to provide at least one
manning detail for the coast defenses as
well as the troops necessary to protect the
forts from rear attack in war time Gen
Murray says. can hardly be overstated. The
methods he suSgests-that of inducing the
states to organize coast artillery reserve
corps-he considers entirely feasible and
comparatively inexpensive in time of peace
For the insular possessions one complete
manning detail of regular coast artillery
should be authorized as the peace footing
for ali gun and mine defenses when com
pleted.
The separation of the field and coast ar
tillery directed by the last Congress- Gen.
Murray believes Will greatly develop both
arms of the service The statement is made
that the coast defenses of the United
States are considerably more than half
completed. the money expended however
being mainly for guns and their emplace-
mentS.
Considering the present conditions of
these defenses. the four elements Of defense
most needed and which will, If provided
secure the greatest measure of public safety
at the least cost. Gen. Murray says, are:
The completion of the installation Of the
approval system Of fire control for all guns
and mortars mounted: the provision of nee
essary searchlights for harbor defense at
night: the completion OF the submarine
mine equipment of all fortified harbors and
tho provision of power plants for use with
10th guns and mines. The sum of SAG S35-
PIT for the United States. $1S 23S 455 for
the msular possessions. and "a 1927 6S2 are
estimated for completing the defenses of the
various countries coming under the juris-
diction of the United States. in accordance
with the plans of the national defense

ENGLISH INSURANCE scuTTLE.
Jamaicans Angry at Attitude Of
British Companies

KINGSTON, Jamaica. October There
is bitter feeling against the English
insurance companies growing out OF the ac-
tons arising from the disaster of last jan
uary. 1t is charged that the companies are
delaying the cases by technicalities.
Their latest move is an announce ment by
counsel that the companies propose in one
action to make a counter claim for the
declaration that the loss sustained by the
policyholders was caused by an earthquake.
This means, If it succeeds that other cases
cannot be proceeded with because the COM
panies would win under the earthquake
clause Merchants think that local compa-
MES should be formed to carry insurance.
AS the restoration of Kingston progresses
the boycott of English concerns increases.

districts for the erection of schoolhouses
1t was energetfcally stated at one Of the
meetings that any such move would be met
with the enforcement of Sunday laws which
would seriously cripple the traffic of the
roads.
The Fort Myer-Colonial Heights Associa-
ton took up the subject soon after the

E. Lewis, that 1t was fortunate the So
ciety had sent its representative. Robert
King, to the polls to watch proceedings. for
larity of the voting. A motion thanking
Mr.. King for his efficient attention to the

house and after the transaction of local
business called for statement from
County Superintendent of Schools Clements.
He suggested that the county supervisors
uc requested u Take ACTION TOWARD carry
ing the will OF the people into effect at
once.
commonwealth Attorney Mackey stated
that the supervisors will do their part
promptly without any call from the assO-
citation, but that their action cannot per-
manently affect the result. He is ready he
said, to resist any movement Of the railroad
attorneys as part of his public duty, and
will leave no resource of the law untried in
his effort to secure to the people the school
privileges they are seeking.

PurdY Confer

Attorney General Bonaparte held a long
conference this afternoon with his trust ex-
pert assistant. Milton D. 4urdy, who has
just returned from visit abroad. There are
many Indications that the Attorney Gen

the powder trusts had both received bumps.
Mr.. Bonaparte was taking vacation and
his chief assistant, Mr. Purdy, was in Eu-
rope Now there will be some prosecutions.
The harvester trust is the next one of the
big combines that is to be tackled and
following that will come several others.
When the administration takes a fall out of
the harvester trust the farmers Of the
country will rise up and call 1t blessed. as
this trust is charged With fixing the price
on every large agricultural implement in
use in this country.
