MOVEMENT OF TROOPS
PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE,
SAYS PRESIDENT TAFT

New York. Feb. 2.-President Taft is
sued the following statement from his
brothers home tonight:
The movement of troops is merely to
bring brigade TO Galveston, to which
place four transports had already been
ordered, as a mere precautionary measure
because of the unsettled conditions in
Mexico. 1t is not prompted by any recent
news from Mexico. and is only part of
the reasonable precautions directed to be
taken some time ago. in which the send
ing of battleships to the various ports
i'm Mexico vas the first step.
THE sending of four transports and two
brigades to Galveston is the next and
final step"

than 1000 rurales, the majority Of whom

The populace OF the city is in highly

APPRECIATION

pected that the cavalry division, com.
nanded by Brig. Gen. Tasker II. Bliss,
at San Antonio, Tex, will also be mobi-
lized at Galveston. AS these cavalry
troops are so near TO the point at which
embarkation for Mexico will take place,
II is not been thought necessary to mobi-
lize them until the sending troops to
Mexico becomes a certainty. If additional
troops We're sent to Galveston. merchant
ships would have to be chartered to con-
vey them to Vera Cruz, the probable
point of attack.
According to State Department dis
patches yesterday. the incipient rebel
lions against the authority of the Huerta
government at Vera Cruz and in the
State of Tamaulipas have ended. Gov.
Carranza, who was authorized by the state
legislature of Tamaulipas to put armed
forces into the field against the Huerta
government. has informed the United
States consul at Saltillo that he will act
in accordance with the wishes of the
new administration at Mexico City The
consul reports that local opposition to
the Huerta government has disappeared
since the governors decision was made
known, and that railway service to the
north and the south is about to be re-
sumed.
Peaceful at Vera Cruz.
From Vera Cruz. Consul Canada re-
ported yesterday that the military au-
thorities there have agreed to carry out tn
orders of the new government in Mexico
City. Yesterday the Federal and local
officers were reported as a unit in op-
position to recognizing the authority Of
the Huerta government
The subsistence of these two incipient
revolts is regarded by State Department
officials AS greatly smoothing the way for
the provisional government in Mexico
City. II is believed that the sudden ter
mination Of the plans for opposing the
new administration In Vera Cruz and in
Tamaulipas was due to personal ar
rangements with Gen. Huerta, satisfac-
tory to the leaders of the short-lived op-
position.
The attitude of rebels in the vicinity
of Acapulco toward the new administra
ton is thus far unknown. according to
State Department dispatches. The dis
orders of the last few months i'm that
region are continuing. it is reported,
Federal troops have been sent against
the marauders from the Costa Grande
region. From other districts. the recog
milton OF the new government. and the
gradual resumption Of train service is
reported. At San Luis Potosi the situ-
alton is confusing. it is stated, owing to
the threatened operations of rebels out
side the city.
Consul General Shsnklin at Mexico
City. reported yesterday that railway
connections between the United States
and Mexico are still broken, and advises
that goods from the United States for
interior points be sent by water to
Vera Cruz. Distribution from that port
to interior is safe, the consul general
says. The fact that only one railway
line in Mexico is open to afford Ameri-
cans a means of egress from that coun-
try is cause Of some worry in Wash
ington.

ton, that UNCONVENTIONAL lines

derstood that the one Head is Jesus
Christ Himself. II Dr. Sheldon had
in mind any human head to the
church, his theory was nothing else
than church federation reaching it's
logical climax in a Pope. The hui
man race has never yet produced
man wise enough and gracious
enough to be head over all things to
the church. Only a Person of divine
origin, attributes and power is COM
petent to rule over the church, and
it is to such Person that we do and
will confess observation-disclosures E.

rs THERE ANY EXCUSE FOR
THIS PETIT GRAFT IN THE
CHURCH OF ROME?

Dear Sir: The rule Of the Cath
Ollie Church is that a person failing
to attend mass on Sunday, through
Indifference, commits a mortal sin.
This sin, if unforgiven through the
confessional, means eternal damna-
ton. A person desiring to attend
mass on Sunday, and thereby avoid
committing a mortal sin, is COM
PEELED, before being admitted to the
church, to pay ten cents for admis-
sion, to hear mass. After being ad-
mitted, he is expected to contribute
to the usual collection which is
always taken up at each mass. Can
you inform me on what grounds the
church is justified in charging him
ten cents for the opportunity to
save his soul? Yours truly,
Butler, Pa. READER.
P. S. l understand there is an
exception to this rule in the diocese
ruled over by His Eminence, Cardi-
nal Gibbons.

DIR. Sheldon's Confessional.
DR.. Sheldon, the well-known au-
thor and Congregational minister, of
Topeka, Kansas, made what deserves
to be characterized as a bad break at
the Christian Endeavor Biennial at
Los Angeles. The newspapers re-
port him as advocating the confess
sional for all Protestant churches.
He is said to have ascribed the power
of the Catholic Church to the con-
fessional and to the fact that the
Catholic Church is under one head.
He recommended the wiping out of
all Protestant UNCONVENTIONAL lines
and the assem- bling of all churches
under one head
No wonder that DR.. Sheldon was
called upon to explain what he UNI
derstood by confessional" and that
he found it desirable to put his def
milton in writing, thus:
By the Protestant confessional I
mean the opportunity given by the
pastor to his congregation of coun-
selling with him on any subject
where they need help or advice.
Now, in this there is nothing new.
Every Protestant minister, in so far
as he gains the confidence and affec-
ton Of the members of his flock, will
be consulted by those who are
troubled, or in doubt, or who have
taken false step. But this is far
from being the confessional to which
the Church Of Rome owes so much
of its power. Rome, by means of
the confessional, worms out family
secrets, and Acknowledgements of in
diVidual wrong-doing and crime,
and thus gains a powerful influence
over, not only the one who confesses,
but over others that are implicated,
and uses this knowledge in the most
heartless and INSCRIPTIONS manner
to enrich the church and it's officers.
The inviolability Of the confessional
is as much a fiction as the infalli-
bility of the Pope. The Romish con-
tessional, moreover, is one of the

Bishop Lillis, or any one else, thinks
to the contrary, they had better fur
niSh some more convincing reasons
than that these lurking-pla Of in

Of free Americans are not supported
by the State It is not bigotry and
ignorance that demands such inves-
tigation; it is the American love Of
justice and liberty that clamors that
the light be let in. No institution
rightly conducted fears investiga-
ton; it is only the eVil-doer that
shrinks from the light.
But America is waking up and be-
ginning to act. We have learned
many things the last few years about
this power that has stealthily crept
in and is seeking to undermine our
American institutions. The Guard
ians of Liberty have done noble
work, and other societies are form
ing, having in view to unmask this
organized hypocrisy and Illustrate
it's cunning plans In California, in
Texas, in Iowa, and in the State of
Illinois, I have como across large
numbers of people either already
organized, or prepared to organize,
in opposition to Romish political and
social aggressions.
There is vigorous young society
that is gathering to itself the anti
Romanist sentiment in Iowa and
adjacent States, and is planning to
extend it's operations over the United
States and Canada. The headquart-
ers of this society is Des Moines, and
it's name is the knights of Luther"
BY it's very name it throws down
the gauntlet to the knights of Co.
lumbus. There are some secrets in
it's ritual, but, as its leading organ
iZers are members Of evangelical
churches and some Of them of the
churches of Christ in Des Moines
and elsewhere, it is to be inferred
that there is nothing in the secret

with a Christians duty to his God
