route Napoleon took on his march to

PEACE FOR MEXICO
Steps VIII Be Taken by President
Wilson Toward Restoration.

ngton.--Definite steps towarC
restoration Of peace in Mexico will be
taken Immediately upon President
Wilson'S return to Washington next
week. What specific action the presi-
dent may have decided on has not
been disclosed, but it was authoratiye-
ly stated Friday night that the execu-
tive departments of the government
were preparing to carry out promptly
the program determined upon. Only
an unexpected move in Mexico itself
to end the strife, it is said, would pre-
vent affirmative action by the United
States to restore constitutional gov
ernment in the war-torn republic.
Armed intervention is not believed
to be contemplated in the presidents
program. Many officials believe NO
forceful measures will be required
Persistent reports have reached here
that the faction leaders are inclined to
yield to the demands of this govern
ment for peace conference.
Reports are generally credited that
a message will be sent to the opposing
leaders, giving them final chance to
cease hostilities within a limited time
and assemble a conference to settle
their differences. Possibilities of an
other failure to do so, in view Of the
last refusal of General Carranza to
join in conference with his adver-
saries, is being considered by the pres
ldent, 1t is declared, in formulating a
plan OF action.
Whether in that event general en-
barge on arms expectations will be
imposed or American troops employed
to assure transportation of food to the
starving people OF the country, can
not be predicted. 1t is known, how
ever, that the army and navy have
been preparing, and now are ready for
any eventuality.
Secretary Lansing said Friday that
the representations sent to Generals
Carranza, Villa and Zapata Thursday
night, urging that routes to Mexico
City be opened to provision trains,
Wereforceful. The message to Car
rama, who controls the railroad from
Vera Cruz, was particularly emphatic
While not couched as a"demand" that
the railroad to Mexico City be opened
and kept open, its purport was to that
effect.
No answer from any of the Mexican
generals had been received Friday
night. 1t was believed, however, that
provision trains would be moving to
Mexico City within a few days under
guard OF Carranza troops.
Officials were led to this belief by
reports that General Gonzalez had
driven off Villa column under Cen
eral Fierro, and returned to Villa Qua
deloupe, just outside Mexico City, prac-
tically occupied the capital. Rowing
bands of Zapata soldiers, which have
been harassing the railroad, are being
driven off, it was said, and garrisons
stationed along the railroad.

Societies directed the attention of the United
States postal authorities toecard this SANDER
Gus and obscene publications" Watson's Mag
azine.
That fact is stated officially by Anthony
Matre, Secretary of the Catholic Federation,
III his report to the convention recently held
III Toledo, Ohio.
Mattress report sets out that Judge Speer
disqualified himself because his wife was a
Catholic"
Matre states further that Judge Foster
quashed the Indictment on the ground that
''Only few sentences of the alleged obscene
matter were shown" and that Shortly after
the quashing of the indictments another in
dictment was found by the United States
Government in which the entire objection
able matter has been set FORTH
This shows that Matre doesn't know what
he is talking about
The entire objectionable matter acas set
forth in the first bills, and as the entire ex-
tract was. after all, nothing more than a
very small proportion of the whole maya
zine,-the magazine itself not being indicted
the penal statute did not apply, for the sim
pie reason that the statute says book, and
not chapter, or q page, or pages, OF a book
A magazine is book, and, like any other
book, must stand or fall, as a whole.
Mattress report continues:
"This Indictment is now pending, and, as
far as your National Secretary could arcer-
tain, no date has vet been set for the near
ing of the case Of this arch-bigot
This official handling Of my case by the
Secretary of the National Federation of

That then caused the Government to prose

the case.
Matre concludes his official report to the
Catholic convention by quoting the bitterly
abusive, scurrlous, and libellous statements

per in the city here [ am INTO be tried: and
this strengthens into conviction the slls-
picion that these indecent and inhammatory
attacks on me had a malicious motive, namely,
to prejudice the case IN the minds Of those

Taking the statement in The Bulletin to
which Mr.. Bourdeau called my attention, to-
gether with the threats made before the
articles began, and the use Of the mails by

Mind you this Report is for 1915, and it
IS the Goth; consequently it appears that this
Foreign Board has been receiving and MAX
ing annual reports ever since 1916.
That's long enough to give fair test to
any system.
After 60 years of expense and labor what
is the situation In the Foreign fields as re
ported to the Southern Methodist Board?
In brief it is this: the Foreign converts will
not support their pastors, will not build their
own churches, will not build their own
schools, will not furnish parsonage and will
not even pay houserent, for medical mis-
sionary.
You have to build the mansion for the doe
tor, the parsonage for the preacher, the hos
the children, and if DR.. Manget finds that he
needs motor-boat, you have to buy it for
him.
Amt it awful?
Bishop Gambler flung himself on me heav-
lily, in a sermon in Columbus. because / had
said his Church sent doctors to Persia; but
here is his own Boards Report which shows
his Church is not only sending doctors to
China and Korea, bit building mansions for
them to deoeH ia and maotoy-6oats to ride IN,
and hospitals TO treat the patients IN.
Really, Bro. Warren ought to mosey down
to Columbus, and repeat that sermon.
Is it your idea that resident pastor, in
Kwansel GA KUN, IS q mtSSionary in the
sense that Barnabas and Timothy were?
Is it your idea that a resident physician
In HuchoW, IS q missionary, in the sense that
Judson and Morrison were?
Does your Bible tell you to 90 into all
parts Of the world, and build mansions for
stationary pastors mansions for stationary
doctors, homes for stationary nurses, hospitals
for the sick, and school-houses to compete
qcith foreign government, for the secular edu-
cation Of their oeen children?
To put it another way
Does your Bible command you to pay the
salaries Of the pastors OF foreign churches,
and to build parsonages for those pastors?
That's aehat you are doing. Y on are build
ing finer parsonages for the pastors Of
Chinese churches, than you build for your
own pastors.
The stationary preacher in Shanghai, SUI
chow, Toxic, and Huchow as called foreign
molssiona'y but he is nothing more than the
resilient pastor Of a local congregation.
Did you ever think Of it, in that light?
If not, do so, at once, and realize what an
un-Scriptural system the Boards are WASTING
your money on.

Missionary Facts Cleaned From
Missionary Reports.

At last, have got the Boards to defend
ing themselves before the people.
For several years, their policy was to TO-
more me. but that's thing of the past
They now argue their side of the question
in booklets, magazines, and papers.
In other words, the debate IS on, and the
people will have an opportunity TO hear
the discussion, and decide the controversy.
In the debate, the Boards will soon learn
that one little fact outweighs ton of rhetoric.
Another thing they will soon discover Is
That they can't hush up the question by mere
abuse of Watson. The people are sick and
tired of personalities.
To say that those who favor the present
methods of the Boards are Angels, and their
opponents Devils, doesn't satisfy intelligent
people.
The Boards have got to get down to brass
tacks, and explain to the churches why it
costs so many millions Of dollars every year,
to preach the Gospel to such q snail number
Of heathen
The people want to know ecAy they should

has utterly failcd to produce one solitary con-
reted hedthcn, miniStc1dng as pastor to q
single sezf-supportifg natioe church!
During the last so years, the Foreign Mis-
sionaries have cost the American and Euro
pean Churches at least a billion dollars.
A thousand million dollars spent, and half
a-centuly Of labor wasted with not one single
Christian School and Church. ministered to
by a native preacher, and maintained on the
money of the converts
1t IS q stupend0as fact!
How do the missionries get round it?
They do so, as they have been doing for SO
IL lo++o
they are accomplishing. and these letters
o7erays use such catch phrases as s'the New
China" ''the Great awakening" africa is
crying for Christ, Never before was there
such an opportunity" To-day the harvest is
ripe" &c.
Throughout the whole East, they have not
one single native Church like the primitive
Churches founded, on preaching d7one BY the
Apostles.
Every one of the Christian Churches in the
East has to be fed on pap, by the missionary
funds.
If you will just pay attention to the actual
facts, as reported In the missionary publica-
tons, you can soon see for yourself how un-
like Gospel evangelism, this new craze has
become.
