GUARD BORDER
Region Along the Rio Grande is
Described by the National
Geographers.

WASHINGTON, May 17.-The de-
cision of the war department to or
der out the militia organizations of
Texas, New Mexico and Arizona to
aid in guarding the southern border
of the United States against further
raids by Mexican bandits makes the
boundary line between the two re-
publics a topic of paramount inter-
est. This boundary is the subject of
today's war geography bulletin. is
sued by the National Geographic So
ciety from its Washington headquar-
tiers. which says:
"All the territory of the four bor-
der states of California, Arizona,
New Mexico and Texas orlgi-
nal.y belonged to the Mexican re-
public, and If the United States were
called upon to guard the lines which
constituted the southern border be-
fore the acquisition of Texas and the
land purchased after the war 1S4S,
the boundary would extend for a
distance Of $500 miles instead of
1888 miles as now.
The Rio Grande, which consti-
tutes natural boundary between the
two countries for a distance OF l.
1876 miles, rises In the mountains OF
Southern Colorado and flows south
east into the Gulf of Mexico. It be-
comes a part of the boundary at Ell
Paso, some 700 miles from its source.
Owing to the extensive use OF its
waters for irrigation purposes and to
rapid evaporation during the sum-
mer months, the rivers volume fire.

many miles along its course the bed
becomes dry. Its flow is by no means
commensurate with its length OF

miles which it drains.

small boats for 500 miles above Its
mouth but 1t is one of the most var.

more than $4,000 additions square

the north and the present boundary

This sale was unpopular In Mexico
and was partly responsible for tine
Punishment OF President Santa Anna.
"One-fifth OF the total area of tho

braced In the four states on the Mex

border states Of Lower California,
Sonora, Chihuahua. Coahuila, Nueyo
Leon and Tamaulipas.
IF all the militiamen OF Arizona,

department has called upon for pa
troll duty on the Mexican border were
strung out as sentries they would

mobile and motion pictures are cited as
adding tremendous influence to the
combination Of powers already at
work to destroy the old-fashioned Sab
bath. Resolutions are proposed in
protest against the operation of NOV
ing picture theateres on Sunday and
also against the use Of public school
buildings on that day. The faculties
of colleges and seminaries, 1t is pro-
posed, should also be urged to omit
Rotations on Monday mornings SO as
to leave the Sabbath free from the
felt necessity Of the students to pre-
pare their lessons on that day. An
other resolution condemns the Sunday
newspaper and points out that Canada.
even in war time, has found that the
Sunday is not necessity. In comment
on the working of the Dominion Lords
ct. the report adds that ninety
per cent or more of the Sunday news
papers published in the United tSates
for distribution in Canada on Sunday
had been pushed back over the line.
The report notes. however. that the
Sunday newspaper has made serious
inroads lately among the people Of
Scotland, which is the stronghold of
Presbyterianism.
Sabbath Observance.
The committee reports a number of
victories in the movement for observ-
ance Of the Sabbath, among them the
Sunday closing of the saloons in Chi
cago for the first time in more than
forty years. The committee is also
gratihed at the stand many employers
have take in regard to Sunday work,
and 1t notes that even in England the
authorities have found 1t advisable to
ban Sunday work, even in the munition
factories.
One Of the most important of the re-
ports is that by the committee on
church cooperation and union which
among other things favors the contin-
uance OF the negotiations for the union
Of all the churches of the Presbyterian
household in the United States, and
also conferences with the Church of
the Disciples Of Christ with view to
closer relations. In the matter OF
evangelism, the question is also raised
whether the hour has not arrived for
the Inauguration and promotion of a
countrywide movement of eyangelistic
cndeavor Of such character as will
meet with the approval and apprecia-
ton of the united ministry of our
land"
The assembly's approval Is also to
be asked OF the steps thus far taken

Opens Its One Hundred and
Thirty-Eighth Meeting.
tsy ASSOCIATED psrss,


ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., May 49,
The General Assembly of the Presby-
terrain church in the United States
began Its one hundred and thirty
eighth annual meeting on the Steel
Pier here today with program
which will continue through until
Friday, May 26. 1t is one of the
important church gatherings of the
year and the reports that have been
prepared by various committees for
consideration during the week reflect
some Of the new phases of church
problems and particularly some of
the effects which the great war in
Europe has had on church work.
These reports, compiled in a book
OF zoo pages. which were placed in
the hands of the delegates to the as
sembly here today. include some OPP
timistic views as to the effects which
the war is having and will continue
to have on religion. The executive
commission of the Alliance Of the Re-
formed Churches throughout the
World, reports:
Some Features.
Instead of showing the failure of
Christianity, this war has revealed
the strength of Christianity, for
Christianity has been the only bond
that has not snapped because of this
war. Out Of the present conditions
in Europe three facts are emerging
that bear on the religious situation.
The first is that religion over there
has become largely Philanthropy. The
people have passed from faith to
works. All the countries are full OF
charitable efforts to relieve poverty
and suffering.
The second popularity is evangel-
ization. The 24,00O,000 men of the
different armies afford grand oppor-
tunity for the spread OF the Gospel.
The 100000 prisoners in Germany,
most Of whom are Russians, open a
great field for the evangelization of
Russia. In the camps, in the hos
pitfalls. in the prison camps, is an
open .door of hope. tremendous and
mighty that will affect every church
In Europe.
"The third feature is personalness
that is piety more than ever has be-
come personal thing. The war is
making Europe learn that religion is a
personal matter rather than a formal
one. The lines between denomina-
tons are largely broken down in arm
les and camps. Faith Is being puri-
fed, sham and lnreality are burning
out Men are thinking straight and
centering themselves on Jesus Christ.
These characteristics are not going to
pass entirely away for Europe has been
too deeply stirred. 1t Is never going
back to what It was before the war;
Great Call May Come.
After the war, the report points out
there may be a great call for Ameri-
cans to take UP the continuance OF
English church wors on the continen,
OF Europe, particularly in Germany
and Austria, where prejudice may
initiate against Britishers resuminp
their activities.
The divorce evil in America re.
ceives considerable attention by the
special committee on Christian life
and work which points out that the cs.
timated average OF divorces has
reached the alarming ratio OF about
one to every twelve marriages, SHOW.
