If any one can forecast the
ups and downs of the cotton
market this year, he's a wizard.
The best thing that can happen
for us is resumption of the 400
suspended English mills, and
negotiations to that effect seem
to be progressing. While the
mills have been idle, however,
most of them have been buying
cotton at every low stage of the
market. Elk.

WHAT the gospel story that Jesus
was persocutcd and put to death
Il soley at the hands Of the Jews
was IAN Infamous stroke Of
policy" designed by the Romans, be-
cause or their hatred for the Jews. was
the assertion made yesterday by the
Rov. Or, Joseph KrauslSopf. IN his SER
mon at the Temple Kcneseth Israel on
"The Gentiles and Jesus" says the
Philadelphia North American.
Dr. Kraussopf cited the teachings OF
the Apostle Paul az proof OF his con
tention and declared that in all the
apostles writings thore was not to be
found a single word about the Jews
having prosecuted and erucihod tho
Savior
What better authority had he" the
speaker asked. ''for the assertion that
the charge was base invention, sea-
ing that he lived the first twenty years
of his life contemporaneously With
Jesus and part Of that time at Jeru-
salem, and that as the FOUNDER of
Christianity, he WAS naturally In the
best position to know how and at whose
hands Jesus met His deaih?"
Dr. Kraustopf then turned to the
Romans, and denounced their recon-
struction OF the gospel story, lin a
manner so cruel TO the Jews that the
Ike of II has probably never been
eduoled before or since"
THAT reconstructed story tells that

Of policy that has shed more innocent

that have ever been resorted to to
further political or ecclesiastical am
hition,"
Dr. Hrluskopf compared the "mon-

Or. William Peter, in a most inter

Medical Society, discussed the causes

taken pains TO describe. Lancisi and

Boyle sank under the ravages of the

successful illustrator. shr BENJAMIN

I'm an admiral, but ! wouldn't amount
to a row of beans in action without
the boys behind the guns"

may meet with difficulties in your voy-

snap Of the square jaws. Our mission

As l said before. Bob" Evans doesn't
take a back seat for any one and the
American navy has not done so up to

IL Is not that kind of a navy.
So we can rest easy that the Pacific
