The Rev. {. {. Grimes, Broadway
Methodist Church-Christ is always
asking us questions-question to
translate in cur own terms. Material
valuations are put on these questions;
they are translated from a material
standpoint. Christ wants spiritual
questions answered in spiritual terms
in terms of faith.

The Rev. 4. ". Young, First Baptist

The Rev. I. W. Young, First Baptist
Church-Self-contr is one of the
keys to a successful life, and to lose
or fail to develop ones self-control
is to lose the very foundation upon
which ones usefulness and efficiency
are built. Know yourself. Control
yourself, and control yourself rightly.
Machinery must have a regulator TO
control it. Otherwise it would destroy
Itself. Man is the most delicate piece
of machinery in existence. He must
have something to regulate his ac-
tiOns. He must have seif-control.
When he loses that he loses his life's
regulator.

Father L. j. Lloyd, Sacred Heart Catho
lie Church-Then He took the loaves
and fishes and, looking up to heaven,
blessed them; and broke and gave to
his disciples to set before the multi
tude. And all did eat and were salts
fed, and the fragments that remained
filled twelve baskets. How clearly
does this incident show that in every
deed Christ is God; and his great love
for men as he performs a miracle
that those who sought Him in the
desert would not suffer hunger. The
things that Christ said and did were
not only for his own day and race but
for all times and for all peoples.

The Rev. Frederick J. Bate, Calvary

The Rev. Frederick J. Bate, Calvary
Episcopal Church-The influence of a
strong personality is more forceful
than any abstract principle. The in
spirational power IN the lives of the
leaders of men is a demonstration of
their power of self-sacrifice. The per-
ception of the end in view, the test of
the will, the test of constancy, the test
of whether or not self-sacrifice brings
joy-these are the real tests of self
sacrifice.

ARRANGING ANOTHER
 MEXICAN CONFERENCE

While arrangements for the confer ence were being made by General Fun ston, the state department received today it's first official information as to the probable tenor of the new note from General CarranZa on it's way here by special messenger. Special Agent
 Rodgers at Mexico City reported that while he was unable to obtain from Carranza officials any hint as to the contents of the communication, news papers in the capital, close to the con sels of the federal government were printing statements that it would de-
 mand immediate withdrawal of the
 American expedition.
 While officials here believe the 1 phraseology of the note will be largely ! for Mexican consumption designed to i appease popular indignation over the presence of United States forces in ! Mexico, they hope General CarranZa l has not gone so far as to make an un- i qualified demand for withdrawal i Eliseo Arredondo, Mexican ambassador { designate, issued a statement today de-
 claring the CarranZa government was
 doing everything in it's power to bring negotiations to a conclusion satisfac-
 tory to all parties and in manner which will sacrifice neither the sell respect nor the pride of either nation. The ambassador also announced tha the foreign office was preparing tt publish the complete text of the cor
 respondence with the United States re garding the present situation.

NEW YORK, May 26.-The R0c;le- feller foundation announced late to- day that it had appropriated S1O0o 900 for war relief in Poland, Serbia, Montenegro and Albania.
 The sum appropriated is to be eX- pended at the discretion of the eX- ecutive committee whenever satisfac- tory arrangements for the importation of relief supplies can be effected. The appropriation was made in the hope that arrangements for trans pOrtation of food with the countries mentioned might soon be consum- mated, although assurances of the state department of negotiations to this end have not yet been received. A year ago the war relief commis- sion of the foundation drew up a tentative plan for the organization oi a neutral commission for relief ir Poland, under which certain guaran- tees were provided by the German and Austrian governments for the , inviolability of any food supplies i'm. ported into Poland through Germany
 or Austria and destined for the relic i of the civil population.
 It is understood that in accord
 ance with the Foundations appropria tion, a large amount of money raiset
 by Polish relief agencies. would be ap
 piled to the present arrangements.

 Coming from Lopez, the story was almost as if from Villa himself for Lopez was the bandits closest hench- man, his chief lieutenant and his prime aide and eXecutioner in both affairs
 Sitting in the shadow of approach ing death for Pablo is to be executed just as soon as his wounds are healed the bandit declared that in killing eighteen Americans at Santa Ysabel last January he only obeyed Villa S orders.
 Styling his leader Don Rancho" Lopez asserted that Villas motive both at Santa Ysabel and Columbus was revenge mixed with a desire to waken his country to the danger of ''Gringo" domination.

NEW YORK, May 26.-Alienists ! sworn by the defense in behalf of Dr. Arthur Warren Waite testified to- 1 day at his trial for the murder of John F. Peck, his father in-law, that the young dentist was a moral inn becile," and an immoral monster" who had only an insane knowledge of right and wrong The defense rested | it's case upon the testimony of the mental experts. The aliensts of the prosecution will appear tomorrow in rebuttal
 1 Waite's wife was in the courtroom again this afternoon and heard the medical witnesses for her husband testify that he had told them he married her only for her money. The prisoner himself appeared to doze while a long hypothetical question designed to show that he was insane at the time he killed his wife's par ents, was read to the alenists. The jury men seemed bored by the testi- mony of the experts
 Dr. Morris J. Karpas and Dr. Allen Rose Dieffendorf testified that Waite was a moral imbecile and declared they had arrived at their conclusion I without consultation together. Both admitted Waite knew what he was doing when he was plotting the deatf of Mrs. Peck, but they declared h, had no moral sense. Both asserted they did not want the prisoner se free, and Dr. Defendorf said h, should be kept in an insane asylum as long as he lived.
 Dr. Karpas declared that whi moral imbeciles had no moral sense they appeared like rational men. He said he believed criminal

 they owed it to society to do so.
