UniverSaliSt Church

! At Union meeting held in this church
Sunday evening Rev. Lyman Ward o
Camp Hill, Ala. spoke in the interest OF
the Southern Industrial Institute, Of
which he is founder and principle. This
institution is for the poor illiterate
whites. Because of his earnest, forcefu
presentation of his cause it is believed
that Mr.. Ward has secured many perma.
nent friends for his efficient and deserv.
ing school, here.
Because of the rain many of the young
people whom we are sure wish to join
our Young Peoples Christian Union did
not come last Sunday evening and its or
ganization was postponed until next Sun
day at $3.50 p. IN.
Remember that the Sunday school has
opened again and Rally Day is coming
soon, so be prepared to take your place
in the class that the work of the winter
may have promising beginning.
The pastor will take for his subject
next Sunday 1.-The Thought World and
the Real World"

SALE OF RIFLES
OFFICIAL PUZZLE
War Department Perplexed by
Question of Requiring Arms
To Be Sent Abroad.
rFrom The Tribune Bureau.

Washington. Feb. Whether the War
Department should sell several thousand
Krag rifles and other obsolete arms to
persons who admit that they want them
for the Constitutonalsts in Mexico is 4
question now perplexing the administra-
ton. the point being whether the govern
ment would be morally justified, in view
of the action taken when it was reported
that japan was furnishing arms TO
Huerta.
II has been the practice CT the Nai
Department to exact from purchasers "a
arms from this government a covenan'
STIMULATING that they shall be shipp ad
across the seas and shall not be used IN
this hemisphere. but those now seeking to
buy the Krags do not want to bind them
selves by such an agreement. Secretary
Garrison has the matter under consldera-
ton and probably will confer with the
President before taking action.
Headquarters Of the Constituencies

of a small arsenal to-day. as agents for

VILLA TERMED A BEAST
Elk Ambassador Wilson Raps
Presidents Mexican Policy.

Henry Lane Wilson, former Ambassa-
dor to Mexico, was guest at dinner last
night given by the Baptist Social Union
at the Hotel Manhattan.
Frank Harvey Field. president Of the
organization. introduced Mr. Wilson.
There can be no state In a country
other than a state of war where there is
no free speech, and, although have been
taken out of official life. my right OF ex-
preston has not been taken from me,
said Mr.. Wilson.
He then characterized Villa as brig
and and a robber.
"Villa is an ignorant beast, with in
human instincts and a thought only for
loot" he said.
Mexico is practically owned by for
eigners The middle class bear the bur
den Of the foreigners and they suffer for
all of the sins also of the present adj
minstratlve policy of President Wilson.
There would be peace I'm Mexico to-
day II our soldiers had been kept on the
borders and our ships on the shores OF
Mexico" declared Mr.. Wilson.
"The policy Of the President is that OF
a dreamer 1t is scholastic and not
statesmanlike.
He charged that he had been censured
and removed because President Wilson
felt that he was concerning himself with
the political policy Of a foreign nation.
