Book of John Called
Worlds Best Work

most Authority on Sacred His
tory, So Declares.

CHICAGO, oct. 1S.-'The greatest
book in the Bible and in the world is
the gospel Of John" declared Sir VIII
liam Mitchell Ramsay, Great Britains
foremost authority on sacred history,
at the Moody Church.
The gospel Of John far surpasses
the gospel Of Paul. The latter only
finds the heights of greatest spiritual
inspiration at odd intervals.
The gospel of John was written
after his release, when John was in
state Of mind and body TO do his hes;
work The gospel of John is impreg-
mated with the spirit of love as well
as animated with the spirit OF victory.
1t is. the greatest book in the world"

Fear That Drastic Action Will Dis
tract Attention From Currency
Measure Prompts His Peace
full Policy Regarding Mexico.
Administration Refuses to Deal
Longer With Provisional Presi-
dent and Dictator, and Is Ex-
pected toad Constituencies

WASHINGTON, oct 1S.-The tenn
perate attitude of the Wilson Admin
lstration in dealing with the Mexican
situation has been due altogether TO
fear that drastic policy would in
terfere with the Democratic program
of currency and other legislative re-
forms. This is openly admitted in
Washington.
Because the Administration has. set
so much store by its legislative pets.
it has decided not to jeopardize Ger
tain measures by drawing attention
from them or in any way disslpating
the strength that has been conferred
on them.
In consequence. further efforts will
be made to deal peacefully with the
situation, according to the tacit I'M
Outstanding for which President
Wilson himself furnishes the basis.
The Administration is not ready to
turn to forceful means Of obtaining
peace and quiet in the stormy repub-
lie.

OF attention, and was stubbornly
fought by. the defendants, and also
by Representatives of an auromohilc

of speed. h testimony showing it
to be from so to 35 miles an hour.
and it was figured that the car when
1t struck the plaintiffs on the side
walk, was moving at the rate Of a.
feet per second. making it impossi-
BILE to avoid the danger or even to
know Of the existence of the dan
ser. The court in charging the jury
advised them that all vehicles should
ske driven with precautions, but es,
pecially saltomobiles,. and that there
was a greater iced of using caution
in driving of motor cars than any
other vehicle. The jury was out but
a short time.
The injuries sustained by both
ladies' We're severe. and 1t was shown
that Miss Hood was not conscious Of
any occurrence for four days after
being. struck by the car. The auto
firm is a representative of the Pack

tor cars Of the country.
The jury's verdict proved a very
satisfactory one in the amount Of
damages awarded. the total for the

neighhorhood of $40, 900. 1t was
proved that the accident happened
through utmost recklessness OF the
